Too slow reacting Smith!!!!!!!!!

Hard enough winning there without you dropping them.

 

[windyhill]

He can entertain the lads with his guitar to make up for it.

 

[sherb]

Our batsman 8-11 faced less than 30 deliveries between them. That’s where it all came undone. We should have made 250.

Four players get a start - three out in the 30s and one in the 40s.

What about the other 7 players I hear you ask? 9 runs between them.

[BACCS]

Lyon seems to have this happen to him more than most, so many dropped catches off his bowling

 

[hoopla]

Oh that’s awful, Smith. And of course it’s jadeja, the arsiest player I think I’ve ever seen.

 

[Westend]

another terrible day

 

[FRUMPY]

This is setting up to be an innings loss, unless we bowl them out quickly from here.

Adelaide only 30mins behind from melbournr isn't it? Not 24 hrs.....

Inning defeat was obvious a long way out

Another of stupendous day of Nathan Lyon cricket. Honestly, would struggle to bowl out my 7 week old grandson.

Should be ahead of Warner and Renshaw the youngen

Good story the Murphy thing.

Had our moments, couldn’t forge ahead.

India well in control.

Not if we kept them to a lead around the 100 mark, which was on when we got Sharma out

 

[Doggy]

Oh that’s awful, Smith. And of course it’s jadeja, the arsiest player I think I’ve ever seen.

Survived dropped catches and 2 that could have been given LBW

 

[BACCS]

Smith has dropped 3 in slips today. One was extremely tough, but he can’t be missing the other two. Extremely costly.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Smith has been dropping dollys for years and no one dares speak up becuase HE'S SMITH

 

[FRUMPY]

Lyon has been a solid performer over the journey but seems to struggle on the subcontinent for some reason

No bounce and hasn't learnt to adapt to different conditions. Just bowls the same as he does on Aussie wickets.

Players like Smith and Warner are completely wasted in the slips

Selfish players who only want to be there because the think they're above everyone

 

[FRUMPY]

Our batsman 8-11 faced less than 30 deliveries between them. That’s where it all came undone. We should have made 250.

8-11 to blame......heard it all now

Marnus says hi

 

[Syd_Bombay]

I thought the pitch was tailored made to get lefties batsmen out ? Wouldnt it been even worse on 2nd day ? Yet Patel and Jadeja made 50?

 

[Plugger35]

A great fifty from Axar, a pity I couldn't understand anything he said in the after game interview as he selfishly decided to speak Hindi instead of English.

 

[FRUMPY]

Why wouldn't I, still entertaining when a young kid is bowling better than the rest

How about Warner, Khawaja and Renshaw facing less than 2 overs between them for a grand total of 2 runs?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We've unearthed a player in Murphy. Couldn't have asked for a better debut. Boland has bowled well without reward. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end.

So no alinta energy ads in the future?
