India v Australia - test series
Big test for our spinners and good warm up for some of our quicks. Batting order still looks awry - agree with Ian Chappell and that Watto should open instead of going in at 4.
Can see a 1-1 series coming up, with two draws.

showing your inferioirity complex there, no ones mentioned England and I'm the first England supporter to comment. I would say the first Englishman but Bacon888 beat me to do that.

Re: India v Australia - test series
Why only give 6 overs out of 52 overs bowled to the bowler who has taken your only 3 wickets of the innings ? what's the go there....Pattinson, did he break down ?

I think he was just expressing an opinion.

Some poor fielding by the Aussies in that last session.Stitch This wrote:Dhoni and Kumar partnership 89 - Kumar contribution 8

And this applies to nearly all modern day cricketers, but what is it with getting a drink, change of gloves every few overs these days? Dont they have drinks sessions for that? Dhoni was getting "refreshed" virtually every second over and I'm surprised that Clarke didnt have a word about it (assuming he didnt). I did notice one of the umps letting Dhoni know about it later on, as it was getting ridiculous, but I wont be surprised if others do similar as the game goes on. Where do you draw the line is the question.

Re: India v Australia - test series
a mate of mine who really knows his cricket was making some amusing comments along the lines of how rubbish a skipper clarke is. He can't stop the singles, the 2's or the boundaries and hasn't got a clue on how to stop Dhoni.
I haven't watched any of this test, but do you agree?

Re: India v Australia - test series
He needs to stop bowling Lyon so much and the run flow would at least lessen naturally. Even Warney joked how he couldnt believe they went it with 3 quicks and one spinner (and an all-rounder who bowls medium/quick). England did the same in their first test and lost. Then they brought in Panesar at the expense of a quick to assist Swann and bingo, won the next two.God is an Englishman wrote:a mate of mine who really knows his cricket was making some amusing comments along the lines of how rubbish a skipper clarke is.

3/66 - an innings defeat looming unless Clarke can dig them out of yet another mess.

Re: India v Australia - test series
The Aussies will struggle all series. This will be a comfortable win for India.
