Nice to see some HD cricket on the TV - pity it'll be a short game.

Pity it's not Australia.

Strange opening bowling pair...hmmmm

 

[Andrew Mc]

Pity it's not Australia.

Australia not playing is the only reason it is on GEM, unfortunately.

Strange shot. Twice he's done that now, Ali.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Yes, he is. Although I doubt he'll get preference over Jadeja.

Seems like Akshar has lost his spot to Jadeja though as soon as he's fit.

And, although it's one game, given our batting struggles on this tour I can see one of the three pace bowlers making way for Binny. Bhuvi has been poor so far, so possibly for him.

And Ashwin will play most games.

Good thing we're not playing any WC games at the Gabba, from this performance. So I wouldn't really take this game as an indication of how India will go just yet...

Just got home to see the wickets for India. It's like they've just got out here and can't cope with the pitches.

Couple of decent catches by Morgan and Ali at the end of the Indian innings.

Lulled into a false sense of security by the MCG and SCG.

Well they did play a test match up there.

Seems a while ago now. Good to see a pitch with some bounce in it after the rubbish we've watched all too often lately!

 

[Cleavy]

are double bonus points on offer, or just 1?

 

[Gough]

A pity India don't have the bowlers to exploit it, without Sharma their bowling attack is pedestrian.

Half the time with Sharma in it, it still looks pedestrian.

It's a no-brainer that Jadeja should play as he's very handy with the ball, is an excellent fielder and scores handy runs lower down the order. Binny is a poor man's Faulker who can bowl between late 120s to early 130s and I reckon should replace Kumar who's a substandard player in these conditions. Irrespective of who the opposition is, India has to play Ishant - says a lot about their bowling when someone like Ishant is a must-have. However, their bowlers can't win a match on their own, therefore, the batsmen have to put out huge totals. The day their batsmen fail to score big - like they've so far in this series - India doesn't stand a chance against AUS, SAF, ENG and NZ.

He isn't great either but he can at least bowl with a bit of pace and bounce at times, some of their other bowlers are barely above medium pace.

Also, he's the tallest of them all.

This will be over in time for BBL

What BBL? None on until tommrow's game.

Didn't see the whole first innings, but from whatever I saw, I think the Indian batsmen threw their wickets away; shots by Rahane, Kohli and Dhoni were completely unnecessary, the supposedly great batting lineup would need to perform exceptionally well for them to have a shot at the world cup.

,

Finally got a wicket that did something. Soon sorted them out. Bit different from the flat track rubbish we served up for the Test matches that nullified our strength, our quicks, making it easy for them to bat on.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Pity we made that so flat for them too in the Test.

Yeah I see them playing Jadeja, Ashwin, Binny, Shami/Yadav and Ishant, who I think will actually do well in the ODIs here. Got a really good record over his 9 games in Australia so far - 14 wickets @ 20.42.

I'll back our batsmen to score decent totals on the other grounds in Australia.

Pretty s**t game today, just going to have to write it off and move on.

Poop.

Well the Hewitt game then or something.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

"That's a bit of rubbish from Binny"

 

[eth-dog]

Binny looks pedestrian. They should play Sharma, Aaron and Kumar in this format.
