Australia vs India First Test - Adelaide Oval - Dec 9 - Dec 13

[Millky95]

We need Smith bowling.

 

[drummond2fevola]

We are no hope of winning now. We just don't look like taking a wicket.

Have faith.

An MJ special late in the day would be great

 

[dumb]

need to keep things tighter now instead of waiting until they need 50 from the last 10. lyon would be great when they shut up shop but no wickets means that doesn't happen.

 

[Tulip]

Chappeli just said that Haddin shouldn't be captain if Clarke is out, but Smith and Watson maybe shouldn't either, so Haddin should be captain.

 

[GROTTO]

A bit ordinary we are appealing for anything. We are not that type of side or so I thought.

 

[Millky95]

Unlucky there, was so close

 

[davis_756]

Good shape now one away for the edge

 

[Tulip]

Don't think so, we've bowled woefully today.

Strike lineup needs a reshuffle.

 

[treefingers]

I'd love it if India went for the runs. would make for compelling viewing

 

[Mkcaptain]

I don't mind Siddle's spell so far. It only takes one mistake by the batsman

 

[Richard Pryor]

Give Warner a bowl

 

[Underdog]

Hard to feel much sympathy, he refused at any point to give his back the complete rest it needed and it helped contribute to multiple injuries, real troubling thing is the medical staff CA have on staff they are either flat out incompetent or they are simply unable or unwilling to stand up to senior players and make them sit out when they obviously need to sit out.

Who is asking for sympathy?

I doubt anyone, including Clarke, would change their decision with the benefit of hindsight given the circumstances and his contribution.

I'd be happy to give him however long it takes to get him fit again. Give the bloke a break now.

One wicket could trigger a batting collapse so I have not given up hope!

 

[Lebbo73]

They need less than 200 now, they can treat it as a one dayer now. Australia winning is out of the question IMO. Hopefully we take a few wickets soon and they play for the draw, which I suspect will happen.

I am calling it. India will win this Test. We should of batted on for 30 more runs this morning. The wicket is easy too bat on against the fast bowlers. They probably should of got another 50 last night except for the terribly slow batting from Rodgers and especially Watson!!

No use having him there if Marsh is going to do the same thing.

 

[Kappa]

Day 5 and the pitch is still so flat no one looks like taking a wicket

Fire the groundsmen please

+1. If Kholi stays in, it's possible IMO.

 

[Richard Pryor]

It isn't catching on Warnie.

 

[TN25]

Johnson on to take a breakthrough. Come on

Shut up about 'the beast' you flog

 

[RandB]

He's been ok. Apart from that one that strayed on the legs he's been tidy. Deserves a few more overs and keep it tight with MJ on at the other end.

 

[Power Raid]

ooohh!

In fairness, this score hasn't been chased down for about 100 years at the Adelaide Oval.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

+1. If Kholi stays in, it's possible IMO.

Rohit Sharma can be a dasher too. I hope they have a crack!

India will not win this match, no chance.

Might have something to do with the drop in pitches..
