H_T 3,049 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I think there are serious 'travel fears' associated with Pakistan that do not exist in India at all. The situations in those 2 countries are vastly different, so I take Symonds' side on that one. As for whether he'll play again, that's up to him I guess. I reckon he will, because if he doesn't, he'll lose out on all the sponsorship deals he would otherwise get. Geoff Lawson has left Pakistan it was reported on SEN this morning. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Howzat - 6 Bangladeshi's have walked out of their nation's side to play in the Indian League! Is it the death of the Bangladeshi's!? Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Return of cricket today with the first day of the first test of the Bordar-Gavaskar trophy. This should be a cracking series. I think India will win it too. Cameron White makes his debut, representing Victoria. Ponting won the toss, elected to bat. Zaheer Khan bowled the first over, and had Hayden caught behind third ball. Replays suggest the noise was bat on pad, not bat on ball. Currently 1/7 in the 7th over, Ponting on 6, Katich on 1. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Katich out for 66 after a pretty good knock, highest second wicket partnership by a touring team in banglaore, 7 minutes before tea. Can they get another before the break? Quote
Eastie Boyz 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 New batsman so they'd be a decent shot at it Quote
Kiss of Death 772 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Cmon you Deshis! Banga about to defeat NZ - they need 7 runs off 35 deliveries right now Quote
WonnaJurah 5 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Cmon you Deshis! Banga about to defeat NZ - they need 7 runs off 35 deliveries right now oh yeah nz cricket is on the up Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 LOL NZ, isn't half the Bangladeshie team banned from International cricket now as well? What's worse than losing to the Bangladesh Firsts? Losing to their Seconds! Quote
Kiss of Death 772 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Anybody with Foxtel able to tell me if Harbhajan is rolling around Bangalore? Quote
Kiss of Death 772 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 wasn't me Cricinfo (hasn't Baggygreen turned into a useless website?) let me know that Punter was out, however i've only got the updates, and i'm sure harbhajan getting pointing will have caused riots! Now i just have to put up with my indian mate at work tomorrow... he's already SMSing! Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Michael Clarke needs his head read. Why scramble for a single with 7 balls remaining for the day to retain the strike. Out in the last over. LBW. Frustrating. Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 5/314. M.Hussey is a legend. 5/333 at lunch. Hussey 92. He is so damn unflappable. I think our run rate is going to hurt us, especially if Harbhajan keeps bowling negatively outside leg stump. 1.5 days in, I reckon Ponting would like a few more on the board. With no Gilchrist or Symonds to smash it, maybe White will show us some fireworks. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Unfortunately not. I thought at the start of the day we'd be looking at 400. That should now be considered a good score from now on for the Australian team IMO. No middle order, which will become more apparent as Hayden dwindles and there's no Gilly to save the side. Biggest problem is that i think we'll battle to take 20 wickets. India should build a massive score, but as they say, never judge a pitch (match) until two teams have batted Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 And if you thought Queensland's first inning score of 4-13 was troublesome, try their current score in the second inning of 6-16!! New Zealand 7-118 What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Firsts? Losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds! What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds? Losing to them twice! Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 India's 2/41 at lunch on Day 5. We need 8 wickets, they need 258 runs. Draw's still favourite, but if we can get Tendulkar out early on in this session, we're still a good chance. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The bad light rule is nothing more than frustrating, especially when the Aussies were putting on the slower bowlers - White and Clarke. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Anil Kumble GAWN MS Dhoni would be the next Captain in the second test. Is Kumble standing down immediately, Juice? Quote
WonnaJurah 5 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 MS Dhoni would be the next Captain in the second test. Is Kumble standing down immediately, Juice? will be real soon, as he has an injury to his shoulder and his form has been woeful, the rest of the retirement group should be gone in the next year or so as well i imagine, ganguly,laxman,dravid,tendulkar Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 ganguly,laxman,dravid,tendulkar sehwag... Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 he is only 29 29? Geez he looks 40! Incidentally the Vics are 0/29 in their Sheffield Shield campaign in the game against Sth Aust in Adelaide. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Kumble Confident of Shoulder Recovery This would suggest a different story... Hodge apparently batted really well the other day for his 100. Took about 20 of the last 22 runs to just get there. Apparently hit a six bigger than Blizzard's in the 20/20 final Quote
