India v Aus
-
This test is turning into the Rohit Sharma and Assorted Rabble With The Bat show...
Though Jadeja may yet join in...

bloody hell. DRS has been a huge asset for the game overall -- but they just ruled pad first on a simultaneous impact. Reeeeealy tough on the batsman. Thankfully not out on impact in line (umpires call) -- but that decision doesn't seem right. Still some work to do.

India get 400 and push the lead out to 223.
Pressure on the Aussies. Ashwin and Jadeja will be gunning for blood with a few of these Aussie batters
@NTA that Warner dismissal was a symptom of him not playing straight.

@Rapido said in India v Aus:
I draw from this that it appears Andrew MacDonald has bugger all say in selection.
I think its more they didn't want to play 5 lefties so Head went, bad decision as Renshaw did nothing and will struggle we all know here if we bowl spin at Matt in certain areas he fails.
As soon as Matt comes out in club on come the spinners and he normally struggles especially to orthodox Offies.
Coach always has virtually no say in Selection mostly the Captain on tour.@Chris said in India v Aus:

Head is going to play the 2nd test!

@ACT-Crusader innings loss coming up

Looking forward to the brains trust now dropping Murphy for the second test

deadset this pitch bullshit in India is blatant unadulterated cheating.
yes, every country prepares decks that suit them. But take a fucking look at the pics of the pitch for the 2nd test. Grass in teh middle, but none at either end. it looks like a day 4 deck already. it's blatant cheating.
fuck them. I hope Australia beat them by an innings in England.

Warner now has the lowest average of any opener to have batted at least 15 times in India

We have just seen an umpire review for a stumping where the Aussies also appeared to appeal for a caught behind which was turned down. Part of the review process was to look at the front view to see if there was an edge. In effect, the Aussies just got a free review for the edge. Unless there is something that has escaped me, I cannot see any reason why the front view is necessary for a stumping.
