India have the aussies right where they want them.but this mych looks over.stupid rains gonna save the aussies...........never mind, the rest of the series is left. :devil:
jeete ga bhai jeete ga India jeete ga
 
Saurav dada slams a century as aussies are put to the grind.laxman with yet another wonderful half cent but the disappointment was sachin tendulkar but im sure hes gonna whack'em next time around.]
GO INDIA,GO! :devil:
ps:where are all the aussie muppets?
 
As an Asian living in Australia I've had broad experience of both sets of supporters, and as clearly evident so far in this thread, it would surely have to be a tie between the Aussies and the Indians for the Worlds most annoying fans award.

In this series I am hoping the Aussies give the Indians a proper thumping because I'm sick of clueless Indians telling me how about their Bradmanesque batsmanship. The Aussies at least have reason to spout the shite that they do.
 
Oh for feck's sake. So our turban wearing friends managed a 5th day win over a side missing three of the best bowlers in the world. Not to mention the fact that two of the ones left standing managed to be injured during the match. But don't think that'll rate a bloody mention in the Indian press or from their tedious, myopic gobshite fans because believe me they'll be dancing on the bloody streets in Mumbai and Chennai and Dehli...and Leicester.

Bring on the third test.

Thank you for your unbiased views.
I suppose you wouldn't care to even notice the fact that one of the best batsmen in the world played the innings of his life.And also the fact that your overhyped australian batting,capitulated like a bangladesh team in the test.The press in India, i would like to say is quite unbiased in its opinions,but some may not be able to show their joy at having beaten the 'best team in the world ever(TM)' :wenger: .
The "gobshite fans" as you say are celebrating,i can hear them..but i do not deny the fact that India will lose this series.i think so too.i won't be back for a gloat,i know that,but while i can,lets enjoy it till it lasts.

Oh and btw,wher are you originally from?you sound like a bitter paki.

typical aussie arrogance...just wen u think u guys cant be even bigger pricks...u do...u took it easy and were put to sword by the only team challenging ur status in world cricket...ur missing mcgrath and lee sure..as if warne wud have made any difference...wudav gotten thrashed for another 100 runs as he always does against us...but we were also missing our 2 main striker bowlers.. zaheer and harbhajan and srinath retired recently leaving bowling a little weak...so no excuses there...
the world cup final hurt alot...u have no bloody idea wat cricket means to us in this country...the passion ppl have... and to win this game from the position we were in...85/4..truly amazing...dravids was one of the finest innings..even in the second...almost the perfect teqnique..and now wev found a world class player in laxman..to complete wat is along with urs the best batting line up in the world... but credit to the aussies they fought hard...even wen we needed just 230 they made it difficult without gillespie...
winning or even drawing this series would be excellent revenge for the wc final loss as im pretty confedent wel beat u easily in india wen u come for the return tour..
but today is our day...proud to be an india... oh and beware...sachins due some runs...
 
Hey, I thought he said he wasn't an Aussie, just an asian living here and mentioned that he hated us both. I personally enjoy India/Aus series immensely and will never forget our last tour of India, probably the greatest series I can remember watching. It really does deserve a five test series next time I think. Keep in mind also that a lot of people were starting to find the ease with which we were dominating a bit of a turn off, so when India play like they have most Australians are secretly quite pleased. P.S I wonder what Laxman's record against Aus must be by now? The bastard must nearly be averaging a hundred?
 
:lol:

I'm a Bangladeshi living in Australia, and before you lot start a dissection of Bangladeshi cricket, let me remind you that we're shit and we know we are. Further to which we've improved markedly in the last year.

Kookaburra I'd be jesting if I said I hated either country involved but there's little doubting that the Australian press is the most one-eyed in the world, and the fans, having been fed a diet of biased, jingoistic rhetoric for most of their lives, aren't too far behind. As much as I enjoy getting drunk and being a dick with the rest of the Bay 13 lot, they get on me tits whilst sober. ;)

I've had a longstanding distaste for the Indian cricket team simply because of wankers like Ganguly. I've tremendous respect for the passion displayed by the fans- the ones in India at least, although they do have a tendancy to get over excited very, very easily.

The ones who live in Oz, or England, or anywhere else for that matter, are bloody insufferable. First off, if you weren't born in India you're not Indian for Christ's sake. If you were born in East London you're English. If you were born in Sydney you're Australian. How often do you see Americans claiming their European background? If you were born abroad then assimilate, work hard, be a good citizen, pay your taxes, stay out of trouble, and please, for the love of God, support your bloody cricket team.*

I've been bombarded non-stop with talk of India being the best cricket team in the world, Tendulkar's cover drives, Dravid's technique, Ganguly's captaincy and even Harbajhan's superb turban arrangement. Mostly from 'Indian' blokes with Australian accents too. The vitriol aimed at the Bangladesh team from these idiots is ridiculous. I hope the Aussies win 2-1 and with Bret Lee coming back for Boxing Day it's looking likely. I'll be there, probably a tiny bit drunk, with the rest of the Bay 13 lot cheering the Aussies on every step of the way.

*Disclaimer: I was born in Bangladesh and grew up watching our cricket team losing to the likes of the mighty UAE, hence I see it as as my solemn duty to continue to support the boys, even if me Grandma'd walk into the side and probably open the bowling and bat first drop too.

First of all,i would refer to your jibes towards our son of the soil harbhajans turban,both in this post and the previous.The turban is part of our sikh religion in India and here in India we have been taught to respect all religions,be it muslim,sikh,parsis,christians.Your comment about his turban brings out your bitterness and hate towards all Indians just because of some twats you met down under.

Some Indians who leave the country IMO are stupid braggarts and bastards of the highest order.They are hopeless failures driven by the money in the west or east or wherever.No doubt you met some of the "blokes" im talking about.What im surprised about is that you give the Indians no credit at all for winning the test.

Credit where credit is due, India outplayed the Australian side that was on the park, India have a side with tremendous talent and in Laxman, Dravid and Tendulkar they have three of the best batsmen in the world.

Australia collapsed and paid the price for it, sure a side with McGrath, Warne, Lee and a fit Gillespie may have defended the lead better but thats the best part about sport.

I think Australia will struggle to win the series, Lee is back which is great, but Gillespie doubtful, Warne gone, Williams is ordinary, Bichel is solid but it will be hard to win this series now.
 
Actually just a continuation of my last post, lets say that Williams is out, Gillespie is out, no McGrath, no Warne. Who plays for Australia?

Macgill, Lee, Bichel, ????

Who else do you put in? Bracken, White, North, Nicholson, Kasprowicz or is he injured?

White is a tad erratic, I think he's got a first class average of 35 which shouldn't get you anywhere near the test team.

If we're talking about Victorian bowlers though, I think Matty Inness could do a good job against the Indians. He bowls at a fair clip with the wind behind him and he can swing the ball both ways which I noticed rather an absence of from the Australians.
 
India's victory over Australia was a fluke.

1) Aussies were without McGrath and Lee and Adelaide was a batting wicket even flat track superstars like Azharuddin and Zaheer Abbas can steal a century.

2) Dravid is a consistent player but I dont think he is anywhere near Tendulkar or Lara or naturally talented like Gavaskar or Vishwanath or Laxman .He usually scores heavily and consistently against mediocre bowling attacks on flat wickets.Even in the Calcutta test he survived as the track lacked bounce and McGrath wasnt quick through the air.So after Laxman took care Gillespie Dravid didnt have may problems to deal with the rest.Even here in the Adelaide test against a weak Aussie ttack he managed to score and maintain his reputation.He would've never crossed 30 runs if it had been in Perth .


3)Aussies lose their matches only if they are overconfident.the way they lost their wickets in the second innings remninded me of the second innings batting collapses against India in the Chekpauk test where they tried to force a win from a drawn postion.I wont be surprised if Aussies hit back strongly and win the remaining two tests.

4)Indian bowling attack is shite.Agarkar taking six wickets is a catastrope-he might never do that again in his lifetime.and Kumble taking 5 wickets in Australia is a shame to the art of spin bowling.It might never happen again.

Give that man a Vidaloo :)
 
Not real impressed with the Boxing day test team. I really dont rate Williams, little movement off the seam or swinging. Not exactly express pace either. Bichel is a work horse and Lee was a must but why no Nicholson??? After his performance for AA in Hobart he should have been picked over Williams. Hopefully Bracken will play instead but I wont hold my breath.
 
spoke to bracken on the phone last night - he said he was confident of playing boxing day test.

being a family friend i must say - BRACKEN MUST PLAY!

he dominates sehwag and tendulkar - give him a start over williams :boring:
 
I GOT TICKETS TO THE VB SERIES SECOND FINAL!! I feel so special. It'll be India vs. Zimbabwe.

With India smashing Zimbabwe of course.

i think its pretty obvious itll be india australia...the VB series is alwayus good fun...this time even more so..since india are a much better team than in 99..
boxing day test starts tommorow!!...im sleeping off early tonight..got to get up at 5 am for it..
 
Good crowd at the ground today, quite a bit of banter being traded by both supporters. I'd like to have been in the dressing room when Tugga let fly about that fielding effort.

All in all not a bad day, I saw some entertaining cricket and got to participate in a big crowd which is always quite enjoyable. The only sore point was at the end of the day- with the city's population of Indians at the ground, I couldn't get a bloody taxi home.
 
Sorry,but the only thing that caught my eye in your post was'that fielding effort...'.I am sorry but are you referring to Katich's dropped chance or Lee's or the run out miss or possibly the overall inept display by the Aussies?!I respect Australia as a team and believe in giving credit where it is due....but obviously you choose to ignore the amazing batting put on display by our lad Veeru who single handedly made the Australian team,the world champions,look like a bunch of shoolkids giving batting practice.
Almost as if he was punishing them for their disgraceful fielding....
But as a great man once said to the aussies...
"I love you,like my own family,i cry with you, i laugh with you and it pains me to see you put up such a display......" :lol: :lol:
Looks like MR Buchanan will have to exercise those tear glands once again :lol: .

Ps:nice to see that you enjoyed the first days play,only wish i was there...

I can dream, can't I? Personally, I'd prefer India vs Zimbabwe, rather than India vs Australia..

Sehwag was obviously brilliant.
 
But let's now focus on the day's play.

It's debatable whether the Australian batting was more notable for it's excellence than the Indian bowling performance for it's monumental shitness. How hard is it to bowl a consistent line? The Australians bowled well by comparision and were undone by some excellent batting by India...the Indians on the other hand bowled doughnuts on a shitheap and got the stick they deserved.
 
whose better than punter?

sachin " cant get a 50" tendulkar? :lol: :lol:

dravid is a close third, matty hayden number 2 :)

now lets wrap this game up boys - knock em over the sarvo and score 60 to win :D

Well no denying that India had none but themselves to blame after the defeat.Ricky and Matts superb batting had them in but i think they lost the plot in the first innings after the openers had given them such a solid start they failed to capitalise on it.But all the best to the aussies for the sydney game because i have a feeling that sachin is going to come into his own. :devil: You may come back and laugh at me but mark my words.....
Well done aussies.....
You're starting to give us some competition now :xmas:
Happy New Year lads...well done steve and ricky

This point of yours is actually worth discussing.Now answer me,you or any aussie...if your two best bowlers are both 33 years each(correct me if im wrong) aND you start crying every time you lose about how you miss them and how you cant do without them then what happened to the famed and overrated IMO aussie bench strength.now the bowlers didnt do an especially good job in this the Melb test IMO(williams wickets were a fluke.it may never happen again;)TM)it was more tht the indians played bad shots.

:smirk: :smirk: Shut up yeh miserable twat...get back to your friggin hole,you obviously know nothing about cricket.
 
well done aussies..got to give credit where its due..but we really shot ourselves in the foot...the batting on the first hour of the second day was disgraceful..no application at all..
this should set the series up brilliantly for the third test...with the aussies going in as favourates...
as for best batsman in the world..depends..at the moment ponting hayden and dravid arre probabally the best in test cricket..that will soon change...
BUT in one dayers no1 comes close to sachin...player of the tournament in the last 2 one day tournamentts...world cup and the tri series in india...its just his mental attitude..hes aggresive in the ODIs and by far the best in the world..in tests hes trying to change his style to a more defensive one which obviosuly doesnt suite him..
 
To tell the truth im not so bothered about sachin anymore because i believe hes a class player and will come out of this all guns blazing..........what im worried about is indias bowling personally i feel indias lineup should be summat like this....

Sehwag(superb form)
Chopra(excellent temperament)
Dravid(do i need to say anything??)
Tendulkar(a god,the rest are mere mortals)
Ganguly(hmmmm......)
Laxman(class)
Patel
Agarkar(definitely needs to prove that he was takien into the team as an allrounder,his wife praying her guts out isnt going to make him one!)
Kumble(should really do well in sydney,hes class.just need thirty odd runs from him)
Kartik/Nehra(wouldnt got with him,has been struggling throughout.definitely hasnt recovered)
Pathan(looks a good prospect)

What do you all think?
