***Official*** Australia in India 2013 Short formats

[Scaly piscine]

Aussies why did you stop smacking the Indian bowlers around?

That's better.

one day the "world's best fielding side" joke will get old

but not today

 

[Prince EWS]

Suresh Raina sends down eight tight overs. He may get tightened up and go for just as little when he comes out to bat, after this much bowling.

Not even I'd get tired bowling a whole eight overs with Raina's action and I'm ridiculously unfit at the moment. There's no way that's an issue; he's not Brett Lee.

just work it for singles guys, only need 14 from 12.

 

[benchmark00]

Wow that is horrible batting, free hits outside leg and miss out, then that ****.

 

[Spikey]

their score at the 30th over mark was 166 though. they need like 50 more

So this has been an education in how not to bat in the last ten overs. such a baaaaaad innings

 

[benchmark00]

The change in the veterans rule has really helped India in these last few overs.

 

[Shri]

Ashwin should be dropped.
/s

 

[ajdude]

so that's why he was dropped

maybe if george bailey batted sensibly instead of trying to bring his hundred up with a six....

Ashwin went for 57 off 9, don't think that's a strong basis for retention itbt.

The bloke's already flawed with the bat, and is struggling for form, and needs to sort things out- and guess what, he has to bowl eight full overs. I'm not confident of him making a big score in this particular game, at least.

 

[Spikey]

go go go sami!

 

[NUFAN]

I can't believe that Shami is only going to bowl 8 overs, crazy.

Neither am I but that has absolutely nothing to do with him bowling eight overs of the most exaggerated step-and-fetch stuff you'll ever see. If he's buggered after that he should give away the game.

2 wickets and an RPO of 6 an over is acceptable when you are a part of this sham of an attack.

 

[Arjun]

What a nonsensical bowling plan. Shamida and Noddy have plenty of overs left, but don't get to bowl, even to wipe out the tail, while the captain gives nine overs to Raina and a full ten to Jadders. Really, taking wickets and playing for a win has taken a backseat for protecting his favourite players.

What did I say about pace bowling in the death?
