They have Warney and Michael Clarke on commentary. ****ing unbearable.

I thought the Indians didn't use the DRS system

Since Tendulkar retired they have slowly come around.

 

[Mr_Nyah]

Spinner on to bowl over 6 (Ashwin).

*over 2

Not only that, they're allowed to take about 60 seconds to decide when the rest of us get 15.

Renshaw just retired to take a shit.

Renshaw just retired to take a shit.

Still making runs in the pavilion though

In cricket parlance they normally say that 1 brings 2.

But in this case 1 brought number 2.

Renshaw being attacked for going off ill. It was obvious he wasn't well and had a case of Delhi Belly.

The cricket equivalent of not going back with the flight.

Honestly was shameful.

Wiped his ass with the baggy green IMO. Border said as much. He should have shat his pants in front of 1.25bn people and walked off at lunch with his head held high.

Not sure if serious.

But seriously if ya gotta go, ya gotta go. The feeling becomes all-encompassing. Not sure how anyone bat under that, um, pressure.

It's the old "everyone gettin' a start but nobody goin' on with it" syndrome.

More like the team as a collective got a start but turned to water at the same time as the contents of Renshaw's digestive system.

Mario Brothers > Marsh Brothers.

Here's a novel idea:

Why don't we pick a proper batsman at number 6 that can actually bat. This half batsman, half bowler just doesn't work. Particularly somewhere like India. If you need an all rounder to bowl some overs then throw the ball to Smith or Warner who might actually get something in India, but this insistence on picking an all rounder who can't really bat in a crucial position like 6 is nonsense.

 

[Pep Fraudiola]

Khawaja averages 47.
Marshx2 average 62.

What the **** are they thinking?

Smith and Warners bowling isn't up to being the 5th bowler. After seeing the pitch, I can't believe they didn't play Maxwell.

I'm kicking myself that I didn't take the $1.37 for India at the start of the day.

not sure where u got $1.37 from. I got on at $1.77 5 minutes before the start. You can still get $1.32 on India now.

Sorry. It was $1.47, If I'd seen $1.77 I would have put my house in it.

My Sportsbet account currently have India at $1.22

Apparently Shaun is deft against spin and Mitch is equally proficient with bat and ball. Which strikes me as true.

Usman needs to go back to the nets and work on his paternal line.

I've got no issue with Shaun playing, Mitch though, FMD.

 

[Mav]

Was it Ponting that said something like "I'll always back our first innings score against their 4th innings"? Getting 200 batting last is going to be tricky, if we can inch towards 250 we're far from out of this.

 

[Zondor]

Mitchell Starc looks more of an All Rounder than Mitchell Marsh. :stern look

Mitch Marsh test batting average 23, first class batting average 29. U were right if Maxwell cant get a gig ahead of Mitch Marsh theres something seriously wrong with our selectors.
PS u should get a betfair account India are $1.30 right now.

Always has.

It's called having a technique.

All of Pattinson, Starc and Cummins will end up with a better batting average than Mitch.
