Watson has caught some kind of viral fever and hence is not playing in this game.

Probably to give Siddle a go.

I'm sure it was Siddle. Johnson better be dropped.

Siddle got a go in the last match though :confused:
And yeah just noticed that!
I think if we're going to have a chance this series we'll have to go with someone other than Johnson but i'll probably end up eating my words by the end of the tour! :p

Not just the stream, because Cricinfo can't update as well.
Edit: Working again, Siddle is bowling.
Siddle looks far quicker than he actually is. He's bowling mid-30s but it looks like he's bowling 140s. He hits the pitch very hard.

Krejza being given the ball now.
0.1 - Massive no ball, full ball down the leg side
0.2 - High full toss wide of off
0.4 - No Ball, full toss wide of off, dispatched for four
Poor bugger is nervous clearly haha.

Johnson picks up Yuvraj. Total nothing shot from Yuvraj but top bowling from Johnson cramping him for room, ball lollied into the air and an easy catch taken.
Aussies just missed a run out unfortunately.
4-141
Ind Pres XI 168/4 (46.6 ov)..... Lee just dropped a c&b chance R. Sharma on 67

Quote from the Indian Commentator
"He doesn't look any threat to the batsman. They'll be happy to play Krejza"
Ball straight after is pummeled down the ground for 6. The second 6 off the over.
Rohit Sharma is turning it on as Micheal Clarke is introduced into the attack.
Presidents XI 4/190
4/196 Kholi looks good the Indian U/19's captain just turned 18 recently I think
Is there any reason Phil Jaques hasn't been playing in the warm up matches? Does anybody think Katich may be a chance of stealing an openers berth for the first test match?

Cheers for that :thumbsu:
Hopefully it clears up for the first test although Katich is in great nick and would be a worthy inclusion.

Sore back kept him out of the first game, but apparently he is fit for this match (according to Fox Sports).
Jaques omission is a selection decision, which does not bode well for his first test chances.

Find that hard to believe, I really do.

Intriguing.
Langer made a move to opener later in his career and it proved a massive success, maybe Katich could do the same?
4/257 R. Sharma 104 & Kholi 65 no.... Kreja is getting hammered so is M. Clark.
285/5
Parthiv Patel is the newest man to the crease: he is on 10
Virad Kohli is now on 81
Ponting just dropped Kohli a short time ago: juggled catch.
Australia are really going to struggle to bowl out the Indians come test match time.
had to laugh a moment ago at the long hop from Krejza, Ponting at short leg has yelled "oh no" the moment the ball was released.
Krejza is really struggling at the moment.
Hmmm interesting India seem to have so pretty good young players coming through.
Blue Dimension
2 Oct 2008, 20:46
You really have to wonder now what Australia is going to do. This is a terrible showing from Krejza.
It may very well be the case that we take 4 pace bowlers (plus Watson = 5) into the first test.
Wow just wow.
Call Warne and get him to India.
Now.

Lee bowls an absolute snorter to get rid of Kholi! Full ball, bang onto the pad.
PXI 328 for 6.

I think we need me to stop working. 3/50 odd when I'm watching. Comeback and we're getting spanked only for Binga to get a wicket when I get back. :D
Seems Krejza has been pathetic. We need an SOS to Warne. Or get Cullen, Hauritz or the chinamen from the WI tour (Forgotten his name. He was alright) or someone like that. They're all better than this Krejza.
well we can now safely say that we don't have cheating umpires in control of this game :p
you want Beau Casson back Sean?

He's better than Krejza.
As is Andy Symonds.
they can go through until 5pm. Which is 9:30 Melbourne time, 9:00 here in Adelaide.
They've got 9 Overs to be bowled, but with this light - and it does look dark - it may not last that long.
OzBomber
2 Oct 2008, 21:06
As is Andy Symonds.But he's struggling with the bat atm and they wouldn't fly him in now after all that's happened.
OzBomber
2 Oct 2008, 21:07
Does Krejza even spin the ball?
With all the crap that Symonds has had to put up with from the Indian team and the BCCI he never really wanted to go to India. This whole "gone fishing" saga was a media beat up and he was looking for an escape clause to not go to india.
he'll be back once the Australian summer starts.

Really is that why he went and played in the IPL there? :rolleyes:
different situation there was too much money involved :p

Probably not.
But as has been proven today his non selection just upsets the balance of the side.
Whatever happened with Andrew within the ranks, has and will continue to damage the side until someone steps up to the plate.........and neither Kreja or Mcgain have.

McGain probably would have, but sadly he got injured.

Pup is far more dangerous than Krejza. Bowling great areas.
Australia's spin bowling stocks cant be that bad, don't forget Kreja has been tossed to the wolves really. Against teams that don;t play spin well and thre are plenty of those he will do quite well.

He played in the final test the last time we toured there. He took 1 wicket, Pup took 6.
6/371 at stumps. I'm off Bigfooty until next Sunday. Cyas later.
Kohli will be the next captain of India.
Great knocks by him and Sharma.
Should be picked before Laxman and Ganguly, so should Raina before Dravid for that matter. :rolleyes:

Yeah I agree Ganguly should not be in the team. R. Sharma and Kohli should be in the test squad. But either way it looks promising for India in the long term.

Hauritz took 5 wickets for the match, not 1. (scorecard (http://content-www.cricinfo.com/australia/engine/match/64102.html)) 2 of those wickets were in the 2nd innings where Clarke took 6.

Pretty sure McGain never got a chance to step up to the plate, due to his injury perhaps u could of worded that a little bit better.
However do agree that i wouldnt really mind if we flew Symonds over at this stage after what i have seen.

Wickets in India are tailor-made for spinners. To have 4 quicks toiling in the Indian conditions for 90 overs in a day on a flat track that gives them nothing would see the Indians rack up 300+ runs in a day for the loss of 5-6 wickets, a la yesterday.
If Krejza can't make an impression on the Indians in India he's not much good to the Aussies.
Our stocks are at an all-time low now that Warne and MacGill have each pulled the pin within a season of each other. We've basically gone from chocolates to boiled lollies within the space of 18 months.

Actually it was only having Krejza bowl 20 overs that saw the total get that high.
Any chance that there'll be a four-prong pace attack, with Katich and Clarke to roll over the arm occasionally?

You have to also admit that Warne and Macgill also had very poor records against India in India and in Australia. Kreja is young yes he got torn apart against teenagers but he is still learning.
Dixie Flatline
3 Oct 2008, 14:43
Tough on the job learning then.
Siddle has made the breakthrough, bowling Partik Patel for 62. Irfan Pathan is 45* and Chawla 4* as the Presidents XI is 7/420. Lee has been menacing but Pathan keeps nicking him for four.
LIONS then DAYLIGHT
3 Oct 2008, 14:58
Will Pathan be playing in the test team?
This is a poor performance from our bowlers.
We could get smashed in this series.
Nope only one player from the Presidents XI is in the test squad for the first 2 matches. After that I am sure R. Sharma, Pathan and Kholi will be included into the squad.

.Thank **** pathan isnt in there, he is one of the more frustating lower order batsmen, we can enver seem to get him out.
Also a handy bowler.

3 Oct 2008, 16:05
Presidents XI all out for 455 - a bit of a collapse to finish the innings. Patel went at 7/403. Pathan went at 8/443. Ojha went at 9/451. Chawla last man at 455.
Lee 1/61 (18 overs), Clark 3/67 (18 overs), Johnson 4/75 (23.4 overs), Siddle 2/64 (19 overs). Krejza didn't bowl today.
Australians 0/15 after 2 overs. Haydos 9* and Kat 2*.
EDIT: That's the lunch score.

I can see this series being very similar to 2003-04 in that bat will dominate ball all series long. Our batting line-up will be very solid I think, but our bowling attack may struggle. Same goes for India.
I hope I'm wrong because 2003-04 was one of the most boring Test series I had seen for some time, barring one S.Waugh having his swansong.

We'll be right LtD, they won't get near smashing us with the attack they have.
Ricketts
3 Oct 2008, 17:12
We may as well forfeit the series if McGain or Krezja are selected.
Clarke is our best spinner.
Our best option is going with pace only bowlers, and having Clarke chime in occasionally.

you're right, we won't smash you.
but a 2-1 win will do me nicely.
australia 58/2 against our second string attack.
and if anyone was following pathan's recent form in the subcontinent you'd know its actually a disadvantage for the aussies that he's not playing. :o annoying batsman but no where near test bowling standard.

Yep your right.
Would love to have seen Mcgain make the Indians look like they saw Warnies ghost :)
We do have the most under-devoloped all rounder as the vice skip.
If M.Clarke can turn a few and get the cheap wicket it changes the game.
He's up to it and so are we despite the usual panic merchants.

Huh? Warne was piss poor against India over there and over here, especially there where the wickets help the spinners a lot. So I doubt they would have been worried about Mcgain.

with watson coming in for siddle (i'm assuming it'll be him) it'll strenthen up the batting.
