Australia vs India - Second Test @ GABBA - Dec 17-21 - Day 3

[RookiePick]

Need a Starceh WACA 2012 effort now!

Looks like Aus rolled the dice on Mitch middling some more after the break. Probably not a bad gamble as we would have been all over a break even first innings an hour into today.

 

[Mateyman]

Wooooh! Lead!!!

 

[Arecsa]

Ah, I see know why we included Starc. Sneaking down a batter in the lower order and pretending he was being played as a bowler.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Australia have a first innings lead. Great comeback boys!
Hopefully Starc can open his own batting academy similar to MJ now.

 

[King_Steele]

We are now in the lead

 

[Showbags]

Smith averages 347 runs in the series.

Lets hope he gets 61* in the second dig for an average of 408

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Cop that.

 

[TaylorMade]

Only about 170 runs too late

Don't see your point really. You were laughing at him for getting excited after taking 2 key wickets and dismantling an important partnership. I'm pretty sure all bowlers do that.

 

[Spitta09]

solid lead

[Feerits Elf]

A Starc reminder that Australia's tail bats deep

I'll see meself out

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Dhoni, pollard and gayle are the coolest guys in cricket.

Telling a guy on a century to * off is always going to make you look like a dickhead. Watson/Sreesanth-esque, (well, maybe not that bad, but still).

 

[Spitta09]

Starc batting for his place in the side here

 

[Keys]

Brad Haddin the only batsman from the top 8 of either side to not reach double figures. (Mitch marsh only just qualified)

Has he actually said * Off? If so I take back everything I said, s**t move.

Sounded like "Come On" to me.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Doubled the lead.

 

[yakka man]

Smashed.

 

[floodbuster]

Who laughed when Erasmus got hit then, no lying now.

 

[Damon_3388]

Didn't realise umpire Peter Carey officiated cricket too.

 

[Badesumofu]

Ah, I see know why we included Starc. Sneaking down a batter in the lower order and pretending he was being played as a bowler.

I recall a little while back it was suggested that Australia should just reverse it's batting order because the tail was making all the runs. It looks like we've been sneakily do this, but in a gradual manner. Watson, a bowler, is batting at 3, while Starc is coming at 9 as a batsman.

 

[King_Steele]

Clubbed for 4. Good stuff Starc.

 

[doggies ftw]

Onya Starc, put em away

 

[FullyBigKPro]

So its settled, Starc now our new number 3 batsmen?

Could understand if it was Watson or Warner given they're pretty antagonistic characters but does Smith even sledge?
