you were right though, You said they would bat on and the game would end in a draw, respec.
Just disappointed you seemed to have abandoned what makes you Australian. Please don't invite me to tea! |

Aus gave them too much time and not enough incentive.
|
|
By:
Too little time I mean...doh
|
|
By:
yep. should've slogged from first ball and got a quick 40
|
|
By:
About time he gave himself a bowl. Needs to go around the wicket though.
|
|
By:
Needs to be 8 fielders around the bat.
|
|
By:
comms already talking about both sides shaking hands after another 10 overs
|
|
By:
6 wickets in 22 overs. not even west indies could screw this up
|
|
By:
Here we go then
|
|
By:
This is going to be an Australian win isn't it. You can sort of just tell.
|
|
By:
No handshake i think.
|
|
By:
Great bowling by MJ. Pujara should have employed a bit of gamesmanship and taken a glass of water.
|
|
By:
No handshake at all with the Indian tail. Need to get Dhoni and then that should be g/0
|
|
By:
Like clockwork.
|
|
By:
OUT
|

By:
you sometimes wonder about the minds of some of these guys! Moronic shot! Stills keeps the excitement going!
|
|
By:
Dhoni clearly not the man for a crisis.
|
|
By:
Nice defensive shots from Dhoni.
|
|
By:
good spell this from Harris
|
|
By:
I can't believe there hasn't been a wicket in the last 4 overs with all these edges and balls only just passing the bat with nothing more than **** paper gap.
|
|
By:
cigarette paper! can't say f@g?
|
|
By:
what time does Pup come on and take the last three wickets in an over?
|
|
By:
This Aussie team is not as dominant as that one Jon. Dra had also made Umpires stronger even if not used here. They cannot intimidate Umpires anymore.
|

By:
If ever India needed a reason to have drs it was that over. It was a disgrace and I think infuenced the introduction of drs
|
|
By:
it was in jest wd, agree with your 2nd point too
|
|
By:
Also Symonds should have been out about 17 times when he made 150 in that match.
|
|
By:
like a number of his inns iirc blake
|
|
By:
australia should have carried on lol
|
|
By:
3 more overs at least
|
|
By:
I am surprised at that. Should have continued with the drama!
|
|
By:
Can't believe that. 1 wicket, even in the second last over could have changed everything.
|
|
By:
Quite enjoy the fact that India got a draw out of it at the expense of Shaun Marsh's failed 100. Would be interesting to see what Australia say about the slow run-rate over a whole session this morning and with rain lingering.
|
|
By:
Agree Blake. It's almost as if Australia backed the draw today, very weird strategy.
|

Smith: "It was a tough five days on a pretty flat wicket. Couple of drop catches in the field cost us dear,"
"India played well, but we have got the series. The wicket did not deteriorate much and they had some strong batting, so we wanted to take it away from them. It was about keeping the series safe, rather than Shaun's hundred. We came close here but it wasn't enough. We are looking forward to make it 3-0 in Sydney. Rhino was outstanding with the bat and with the ball, helped us build up a strong total in the first innings." |

I think India have had every possible chance to win in Australia, 2 of the 3 games so far have been roads.. which is ideal for India given their batsmen are superior to ours.
In regards to Kohli in this game, his reputation has taken a significant blow. You don't really want your next captain coming out in the media and calling out the other team, it's just poor form to take something out from the middle and turn it into a big personal hooplah between yourself and the opposition. It doesn't matter what was said in the middle, I am sure worse has been said and unmentioned in the past. He just strikes me as the kind of guy who is willing to deal it out but refuses to take it back and people will say that Australia is the team who can't take it back but I can't re-call any of our team members ever having a whinge in a press conference after a hard days cricket. He's a spoilt brat playing for a cricketing nation which always gets what they want and that is starting to rub off on the players, interesting to hear Dhoni playing the "we're developing a team" card, you may very well be developing a team but you need to be able to take 20 wickets to win a test match and they haven't looked able to do that all series. |

And we have the biggest moron of the lot of them Warner who assaulted Root in a pub...in the media lecturing
the Indians that whatever happens on the field should stay on the field PPLEASEEEEEE that coming from Warner. Any wonder they have no respect in the game. |

Australia unambitious on last morning , batted like they were openers on the first day instead of potential match winners . Whether that was down to individuals or team orders will remain in the dressing room , pity that is no longer the norm .
Sledging just pisses most of us off , it's juvenile behaviour in my book , but has been elevated to "manliness" by some . Indians are OK by me , but some day the penny will drop that they would be better embracing all available technology to ensure fairest possible result . Their batting is good , their bowling not so good . Dhoni has not been at the races last couple of matches , think he lost interest in Test cricket during last summer . |
