Ferguson in for Clarke with his dodgy back, Maddinson the T20.

7 games lol, does anyone even care about this meaningless series with the Ashes coming up?

 

[futureblackcap]

I'll only be interested if the Australians win and knock Tendulka into retirement haha.

 

[Kram81]

Should just send a team mostly of players not in the Test side for this so they can prepare for the real stuff, Indians will still watch any rubbish cricket just so long as the coloured clothing on.

 

[futureblackcap]

Well it might be good preparation for the Ashes even if it is in the wrong conditions. But Australia couldn't afford injuries to key players.

 

[JM71]

My biggest concern is our batsman tend to fail badly in India (see last test tour), and just get themselves into a form slump.

We want confident in form batsman come the Ashes...

 

[futureblackcap]

Yeah but the quality of the players they will be playing might be a bit higher at the moment than what they would be playing in the domestic comp in Australia.

There are some phenomenal players in India at the moment.

Anyone see James Faulkner poke Brad Haddin in the eye (attempting a high five)? *awkward*......

Watched some of the replay but just missed that, Phil Hughes took a nice catch off Watson.

 

[futureblackcap]

It's not great quality but....

 

[Kram81]

The high 5 is just a piece of Seppo bullshit the West Indies have introduced

 

[futureblackcap]

Billy Birmingham predicted the future when he wanted high fives to be outlawed hahaha. He's been receiving so many tweets in the last 24 hours.

 

[JM71]

How did the aussies fail to defend that score?

 

[ioppolo]

God we suck huge cawk.

 

[nairbe]

clearly a track but really someone forgot to tell the bowlers what the plan was

 

[nairbe]

Well we pulled that one off chasing over 300. Well done and it was an overall effort with the bat no 100 by anyone. Good to see James Faulkner has stepped up in this series and is showing some spine in his cricket as well as attitude.

 

[Kram81]

God Matt Hayden loves talking about himself, he's a bit of a tool imo.

Big miss to drop Bailey first ball, Aussies would've been in the shit at 3 for 25 on this flat wicket.

 

[Kram81]

Voges gone Aus 4 for 74, might need that rain to come in and save us if this continues..

 

[Kram81]

Bailey holes out for 98, boy is that man in some form, Maxwell also on fire and have got Australia right back into the game 5 for 226, still some decent batting to come.

 

[Ljp86]

Match ended up being a no result due to rain in the very early stages of the Indian innings. Australia still lead the series 2-1 with three games to play.

Ishant Sharma is the worst bowler in international cricket!!

 

[Kram81]

Yeah Sharma is right arm poo, also just looks a knob. Sounds like there is little chance of a game tomorrow night with all the bad weather.

edit - Ishant has taken 2 for 189 this series at almost 8 runs an over lol.
