Edited 1 year ago
Reason: :)
The match is drawn ! They got a 100/0
Yeah match drawn... I thought we will lose it but since Hughes and Khwaja were both dropped from the Aussie team they played it safe...
The Aussies drop Phil Hughes and Usman Khawaja from the test squad. David Warner & Shane Watson doubtful due to injuries. Are they gonna go in with a brand new opening pair altogether?
Shane Watson is not in the 13 man squad for the 1st test Vishal.
I think they will open with Warner and Marsh. If Marsh is unfit then Cowan comes into the picture...
And we still dont know whats the suspense with Ishant... BCCI works so strangely...
Dipesh bhai, BCCI works for nothing but money. They don't give a damn to ANYTHING ELSE... I hate that sports body as much as I love the Indian cricket team...
The feeling is the same here too... I just hate BCCI.
Australia announce their playing 11 two days before the match!! Here it is... Warner, Cowan, Marsh, Ponting, Clarke, Hussey, Haddin, Siddle, Pattinson, Lyon, Hilfenhaus...
The match starts tomorrow morning :)
Match begins at 5 am tomorrow... Must get some much needed sleep now, if I am to get up that early in the cold!!!!
Good Night:)
Umesh Yadav takes his third wicket. Zak yet to strike.
Zaheer takes two wickets in two deliveries. This is great. :)
Umesh bowled well! Zak got lucky with the Hussey wicket...
Australia finish Day 1 on 277/6 after winning the toss and deciding to bat first.
Not bad as the wicket had something for the bowlers the whole day...
We must wrap up the innings quickly tomorrow as 350 will be a challenging score on this wicket...
Australia 319/9... Last pair in now:)
Bowled out for 333!!!
Zak - 4 wickets...
Umesh, Ashwin - 3 wickets each...
Waiting for the Indian batting to commence...
How will they fare??
India 6 for no loss at lunch.
BIG SESSION coming up:)
I believe this test match is poised for interesting finish......
Words being exchanged between Sehwag and Aussie bowlers!!
Gambhir gone!!
Aussie bowlers can try doing only that when they're being bludgeoned. Sad to see Sachin depart in the 70s.
Its been a good day two, sachin is gone which is sad
Yes, he played a great innings. Some of the shots were really classy.
Really sad to see Sachin depart, yet another chance gone begging :(
Sachin missed out on the 100th ton yet again, was looking so good!
The first session will be very important tomorrow... If India lose couple of wickets, then it will be very close...
Thats true. I hope they bat well. How much lead do you think will get us into a stong position? I think anything above 150 would be good.
Yeah! Minimum 100... Or else we will be in pressure chasing in the 4th innings...
The less to chase the better:)
Forget the lead now! They are crumbling...
From 214/2 we are now 245/7... What a collapse... The strange thing is that Ishant is still there... He was the night watchman...
He is gone now.
We are in a mess... Surely we will concede a big lead... What a waste of a situation from 214/2...
282 all out. Trail Australia by 51.
Lost the last 8 wickets for just 68 runs.
Australian opener have been sent back to paviion . Umesh strikes 2
Yes Dhiraj! Umesh strikes twice in an over...
Australia 20 for 2... Warner and Cowan gone:-):)
Awesome Marsh gone:)
Dhiraj, enjoying the game?
after bad start today , hope ind recovers well .
clarke is out , ishant strikes
Captain Clarke gone!! 40/2 now Australia:).:)
Bye Dhiraj, going to office now...
Australia finish day 3 on 179 for 8... Lead now by 230... Hussey still there on a well made 79... Zak bowled really well along with Umesh:)
Match hangs in balance... It will be a close finish...
If they manage to add more than 30 runs tomorrow , its going to be real tough chase for us . With few of our batsmen yet to get out of Catch practice mode .
Its going to be unpredictable even though many news channels are saying " India just an inch away from a victory "
The news channels show crap most of the time... They dont have any idea what the pitch is behaving like or of the overhead conditions...
Waiting for Day 4 
Aussie last pair adds a valuable 42... All our for 240.... We need 291 to win...
This will be extremely tough...
Sorry we need 292 to win, they lead by 291:)
Sehwag goes for just 7... India in serious trouble now :-(
DS i agree with you Shewag gone, but match still on Lolz
Gautam gone too... Sachin survives run out chance...
India 51/2...
117/6 now. Dhoni and Ashwin at crease. Still 175 needed.
Kohli, Laxman and Gambhir have not been able to adjust to the conditions.
Catch practice session continued today also .
I think a partnership like Ponting and Hussey's is what we need to reach 291.
Thats bordering on impossible Abhi...
Abject batting display so far... Really disappointing so far...
Totally disappointed , Hope they make atleast 150 . Hope to see zaheer chip in some runs just like Ashwin
Lets see how much they can get... Wont matter much though... Dhoni should try to get some form here.
Zak betta har ball pe six nai mara ,
Zaheer also gone. Guys predict our final score... Will it be 160 or 180 or less.
what are these guys upto , Dhoni is out .
Thats the height of optimism abhi :P
