Australia vs India

The media is moaning again. They act as if the Aussies have paid the umpires to get Sachin out.
 
Replays suggest the ball was quite high. No doubt Asad Rauf will now be dropped from international umpiring as well as being jailed for life.

:lol:.
But to be fair, it was a bit dubious, and India were cruising at that point.
 
The BCCI will now scream for Asad's ouster from the panel. The Indian media will cry foul, and gloat about the money power of India. They will demand a judicial inquiry. The ICC will cave in and there may be a law suit against Asad.

thats just about right

but you forgot the burning efigies on the streets

ps: i really hate it when they do that (it is just a game, burning someones posters is way over the top)
 
TBF Sachin survived a close LBW call before he got out. But the decision to rule him out was really bad, it wasn't even close.

yep, I don't really complain about wrong LBW decisions because it happens too fast, but this one was a horrible decision.
 
We've done it again. Lost the last four wickets for 4 runs. Sigh.

Fortunately for us, the Aussie top order has lost three quick ones. 22/3. This is going to be interesting.

Damn true, Jatin. I just remembered the demolition of Dhoni's house.:mad:
 
This is some great cricket at the moment. Symonds and Gilchrist taking it to the Indian attack. They've been lucky as heck, either of them could have been out several times now. 139-5
 
what do you know just as I post that the live scorecard comes up and clark gets a wicket


I don't know why they persist with johnson with the newball
he is crap. Not consistent enough and if there was no wind wouldn't be swinging it either

get bollinger in the side if you need left arm variety
 
What a fecking stupid decision to bat Pathan. We almost ruined his career before with all this all rounder bollocks.
 
Great stuff by the bowlers. We threw it away in the first innings otherwise we would have had a lead of around 200.
Anyway we are in a good position right now, need to set a target of around 400.
 
It mean's he's seen Geordies, 'Dippers', Milwall fans Manchester United fans and a posse of Indian supporters including me, you, mehro, bigredmachine, vidared and everyone else live in action and has concluded, no doubt to give us the opportunity of marvel at his superior judgement, that Indian fans are worse than the above.

Not sure about the remaining part, but the last line is spot on.
 
No no you've seen them all dippersripper.

:lol:muppet. You can't deny the fact that a very large percentage of so called cricket fans know feck all about cricket. What kind of a fan hopes that his team loses so that all the overpaid cricket stars won't be famous anymore and the beautiful game of tennis takes over? Seriously, I'm tired of the cricket fans and media here. You know I'm not talking about you or that crap guy, you know who I'm talking about. This so called passion for cricket doesn't exist in India.

Yes, the passion for cricket does not exist in India. Shows what you know.

Of course Indian cricket fans have their share of spastics, you being the prime example.
If overhype and rubbish spouted by media is what it takes to stop supporting a team, you should stop supporting United as well.

Pisses me off when people come on here spouting bullshit about the Indian cricket team, it's fans and shit like that while they post in the other forum about how they'd chop their balls off for Manchester United.
 
They probably wanted him to be fresh for the Australian 2nd innings

What if he scores a half century? They will try to turn him into all rounder again. Chappell almost ruined his career, and I'm afraid we will ruin him completely. he is the best young prospect we've had in years in the bowling section.

Are you fecking stupid or what? Ever heard of the term night watchman? They're there to protect the batsman. It was a good decision.
 
Which way do you think this match will go from here, mehro?

Our batsmen looked good in first innings but threw it away. I think it will come down to Sachin and Dravid again to garner a partnership. Ganguly and Laxman can at best play cameos I think.
 
Why doesn't anyone ask for my opinion.

feck you.You're worse than Milwall fans.
 
And even though I've not been asked.I will telll you what i think.

Right after I make my coffee.
 
I'm afraid of the pitch. It's not going to be your usual 5th day pitch. if it holds then I don't put it past the Aussies to chase a record score. But keeping faith in our bowlers, anything above 400 should be enough.
