***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

[ajdude]

X man averages 76 in Tests, with two wickets @ 80 in the Shield this year

Yet, he has the ball in hand in a Series-deciding Test match

Is this real???

It's malpractice, not just a bad call

Are you this bad at your full time job, like Invers is?

vic v tas - one innings, 19-7-51-1
tas v sa - one innings, 7-2-15-1
tas v qld - one innings, 8-1-44-0 (in the same match hauritz only bowled in one innings for 13-1-30-0)
tas v WA - one innings, 19-4-50-0 (bird/butterworth were dominating)

i think his record this season's been a bit overstated, the circumstances don't exactly help

do you suggest sok who averages .34 less than doherty in the shield since 2007 and manages to do less than him with the ball?

Should've sent Dhoni IMO.

only about 17 overs to go.

 

[ajdude]

is uvelocity dead? haven't seen that **** in yonks

good delivery by lyon btw, pujara doing his best watson impersonation

 

[ganeshran]

Just started playing again as has Hazelwood

Cummins is also due back so pace bowling is the least of our concerns

Australia has great pace reserves. You could almost make a XI out of the players with international experience

Cummins,
Pattinson
Harris
Siddle,
Starc
Johnson
Hazelwood
Hilfenhaus
Bollinger

 

[Zinzan]

Pffft, going by Cricinfo you'd think there was just 8 overs remaining.

it says minimum 8 overs, meaning 8 or more overs remaining

soks' probably increased his gap to like 2.pointsomething thanks to getting to do a Nathan Lyon over the past 2-3 matches eg wait until the seamers have cleaned up the batsmen and clean up the tail

Didnt he debut against India in 2010? Still in contention?

 

[ganeshran]

Clarke is trying to stretch this over to 3:30.

Just got his spot back for SA (via injury, mind) so I doubt it.

joined tatenda taibu's breakaway church xi iirc

 

[ganeshran]

Does the 15 over requirement start after the over being bowled at 3:30 is finished, or is it inclusive?

 

[ganeshran]

joined tatenda taibu's breakaway church xi iirc

But the players in my list are very much in contention for the playing side. And all are international class (with the exception of Bollinger maybe)

 

[centurymaker]

min 15 overs start after drinks!

 

[ajdude]

yeah i was just being a dickhead haha. could add cutting to the list though even though i hate him

 

[ganeshran]

Under 50 needed now. I'm going to slowly and cautiously start climbing off Silentstriker's fence...

Australian over rate has been very good - they could have stretched it out much more if they wanted to. India certainly would have (remember Ishant Sharma/glove situation?)...

Probably figured that they wouldn't able to restrict india...
