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

[Ashton Agar]

No post-match presentation?

 

[glenferry23]

But they didn't so they won't

Insightful. Yes I'm aware of that.

 

[floodbuster]

Don't agree with the MotM - had to be Haz or Johnson.

We were on our knees until he came on a steadied the ship.

 

[damochandler]

paine got dropped

 

[Richard Pryor]

Any word on whether Harris will be fit?

 

[Globular]

Bailey any chance of a return if Joe or Henriques are overlooked for no.6?

Does Tim Paine still on the scene in terms of potential to be keeper of they don't go with Wade?

Paine was dropped by Tassie in the last shield round so I'm guessing Wade is ahead of him.

 

[juice t]

I love the way Steve Smith goes about it

 

[outabounds]

haddin will play out the series and retire in sydney. watson he's done

With all due respect, he has not earned that sort of treatment- he's no Ponting or Steve Waugh

 

[vaughany]

Any word on whether Harris will be fit?

Yep Harris will play

Hopefully Nevill or Hartley

 

[outabounds]

Yep Harris will play

Thank the Lord

 

[vaughany]

Dank any chance to keep or is he purely just T20?

 

[vaughany]

Hopefully Nevill or Hartley

Would happy to give Hartley a crack

Reckon Cowans might come in and bat at 3 replacing Watson (or Marsh if he doesn't come up of course). Don't need two allrounders. Harris in for Starc of course. May need another keeper too. Haddin's keeping well but we can't have him as part of the tail either. Our batting isn't strong enough for that.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Really sh*&s me that they cut off the telecast so soon after it's finished How about a few more interviews, some highlights and analysis? And yet they waffle on for an hour before play starts, I don't get it


Edit: Just flicked the radio on and Mark Nicolas is interviewing the captains, why would they not show this on the TV????

 

[The_Reaper]

Dank any chance to keep or is he purely just T20?

Dunk is for limited use only

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Dank any chance to keep or is he purely just T20?

Would be an interesting guy to inject into the side.

 

[Kram]

lol at the Vics on here always pumping up Wade's tyres, we want to replace Haddin with someone than can hopefully keep better not worse..

 

[carnthemlions]

His Shield record isn't great.

 

[Plugger35]

Dank any chance to keep or is he purely just T20?

I think you mean Dunk.

Dank should just stick to injecting peptides.

Good first win as captain for Steve Smith. 1 from 1.

Wade will be the Haddin successor.

Same as the 'can't drop Siddle or 'hate' Wade' people yet Haddin is fair game.

All three deserve criticism on their performance/abilities.

 

[vaughany]

Well Cricket is s**t anyway. Like Watching Paint Dry.

20/20 is Hit and Giggles

Trolling?

 

[TradeDraft]

Good first win as captain for Steve Smith. 1 from 1.

Wade will be the Haddin successor.

Smith will be Captain for a Very Long Time

They were 4/310 the aussie bowlers looked cooked and they were going to bowl last on a surface where 200 batting last would been almost impossible, they should be distraught that they lost this game.

Morning of day 2 and morning of day 4 just one quality partnership and the game is theirs and they missed out twice.

These two games should hurt more than just getting thumped from ball one.

It all started with Vijay's decision to throw away his wicket rather than getting retired hurt and resuming play later. Their batsmen also played some unnecessary shots and got a couple of wrong decisions - they only have themselves to blame for not using DRS though. I believe their bowlers lost the match by allowing the Aussie tail to score almost 200 runs.
