Yeah, Tendulkar was clearly pissed at the lack of a DRS.

Pretty sure I saw him mouth the words "Fuck those shortsighted pricks at the BCCI".

What does that have to do with him being plum LBW? He should get 3 lives because the Australians appealed one that wasn't out?

No he said "fucking double standards, start appealing for everything and umpire's are bound to give benefit of doubt decisions to bowlers"

Ive seen more Indian fans in that crowd than Ive ever seen away team fans in any Indian-hosted match.

That said, maybe its so quiet as the Indian fans have given up and gone home early for the night.

No the easily missed silent claps are only from the Indian camp.

Quoting this so you cant remove evidence of your silly persecution of Indian players complex.

Why would I remove it? I never go back to edit my posts & remove "evidence", is that something Australian?

Laxman gone, I dont see India outlasting this session now.

When I quoted that post, you had already edited it (adding something), so just making sure.

In any case, no excuses for that wicket. Poor form from Sachin, bad attitude and bad batting.

Sorry, you didn't directly quote RandomVince so I had no idea you were talking about what was going through Tendulkars head rather than the explosive reaction he had to being plum LBW.

No worries scorpio.

Warner's 180 more valuable than Clarke's 329.

 

[Yagharek]

I am still interested why Ricky Ponting is petulant for being angry at getting out, why Ed Cowan is a bad sport for being annoyed at getting out, and why Sachin is fine for reacting just as badly when getting out because Siddle appealed for an LBW two overs prior.

There is a remarkable chain of logic going on somewhere, and I'd be keen to hear a coherent reason from irfan as to why. Of course, I already know the answer.

 

[artist]

Punter has a history of claiming bump catches, arguing with umpires even acting as umpires on occasions. Cowan was showing the same attitude when given plumb out not playing a shot, showing this attitude in your second game is pretty assholey or Punterish without his record.

Tendulkar didnt stare down at Aleem dar like either Punter or Cowan. He just shook his head and cursed on his way out much like Hussey did when he was wrongly given out at MCG.

BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

But yes, ofcourse I already know you want to see something there that doesnt exist.

Don't ask the question then, tensions will only get flared.

Australia are winning, India are floundering. Some people see things one way and others another.

 

[speedpop]

I like how it is irfan vs everyone else. Even when he is not gloating for a response with the usual bait, there are bound to be the typical pool dwellers who want to splash in the water and cause a debate. Some of you are being ridiculously childish.

irfan vs band of dingos

Point fucking proved. Ball miles away from the bat and Australia appealing like Bangladesh. Cherry on the cake was the Punter was 100% sure it was out, more than Haddin.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Slow-mo seagulls are the most interesting thing happening at the moment. Look like everyone is waiting on the morning session.

Wonder what that noise was with the appeal, shows up on Snicko.

Mussey's bowling .. smh. Looks like WACA requested Clarke to prolong this match till tomorrow.

edit: over rate is fine .. not sure whats the hurry?

Bowlers exhausted by the heat, no point running them ragged with the session almost over. Change of bowler has been good for Clarke recently, even Hussey has picked up several key wickets.

Four fast bowlers right? Two can rest at once. Mussey has only 6 wickets in almost 70 tests. :/ Feels like Starc was under used today.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Feels like Starc was under used today.

Paid off dividends with him out of the action after one over where he took a wicket. Came back in and would have taken out Tendulkar's leg stump if he hadn't got the pad in the way. Clarkes gamble paid off very well, someone said he was more deserving of the Punter tag than Ponting which is a fair call so far.

We have had a LOT of trouble keeping our fast bowlers out of injury so the lighter the workload the better.

Hell Pattinson is out for this match! Would hate for Hilf to go down just because they wanted to push harder than need be in a dead match.

Wasnt that more because Starc had to leave the ground for a washroom break than a tactical decision by Clarke? I mean who needs a break after bowling ONE over?

Spoiler

Definitely not a test bowler

He didn't bring him on for quite a while. Long enough for even Slater to notice it.

No when Starc was fielding the commentators were joking that he wouldn't have the balls to go over to Clarke and ask why he wasn't being bowled.

Clarke probably didnt even notice him, all 196cm of Starcness.

I get the impression he was hoping that line and length from Hilf and Harris would do the trick but they looked pretty tired even though they bowled well. Starc bowled a few great ones but went astray after that second over, shades of Johnson in him.

It bothers me to see Indian team struggle like a minnows. I mean they are the world champions right?

Is cricket all about home pitch?

Despite their performance in the last three years (which is what the rankings are based on I believe) this series is embarrassing for India. Getting absolutely demolished in Aus after England was able to win the series here just a year ago is a poor performance.

 

[Grug]

Nice footage from the Ch.9 archive there. I remember that Ravi Shastri double century in 1992 really vividly.

One of the best innings I had ever seen. Can still remember Dean Jones taking the catch on the boundary rope and then running the full length of the field to shake Shastri's hand just before he got to the pavilion.

Meanwhile Tendulkar was blasting his own century at the other end.

Ended up a draw. Border managing to fight it out to the end while the other Australian batsmen collapsed around him.

Great days. Spent my school holidays at my grandmother's watching the whole summer of cricket.

 

[Grug]

Harris has Dravid seriously shaky here.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Both guys seem pretty solid, Aus might have to bat again.

for 50 runs max if.... they have too.

Going of yesterdays batting without Warner and Cowan that might be enough.

lol no. openers would be enough. Indian bowlers do not have spine either they are old or not experienced

Dravid bowled AGAIN.

Big wicket that.

We worked hard for it. Onya Harroman!

Catch indeed.

no hat trick


Hilf gets his man though

India folding as expected.

Haddin MIGHT have had something to say if he caught that catch, instead he managed make a fool out of himself even in that situation. Perfect.

 

[tri_willy]

hilfy hax!

 

[master15]

Hilfy! 3 wickets 1 over.

India toppling fast here...

I am entertained.
