Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Dhoni Out! Three tailenders to get in the last 10 overs. Australia have the upper hand now.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

I still can't see Australia getting all 10, Hogg is rubbish.

He's bowled a similar number of overs to Symonds yet averages 14 runs per wicket more. I just don't rate Hogg, now if they had McGill playing it may well have been all over by now.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

I don't know why Symonds is bowling. If Australia want to win the match, he certainly isn't the bowler who will do that for them.
Now they are saying that play can continue for a half an hour more so Australia can bowl as many overs they can until then. I think thats unfair, I was under the impression that we just needed to survive another 6 overs.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

That half hour won't make a massive difference, it'll still be about the same amount of overs.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

kumble is doing a fantastic job.....just need to play out few overs...im still disappointed that we got into this position because of controverisal desisions...
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Cracking question from one of the viewers on cricinfo:

"Why aren't they being offered the light?" wonders Ashwin.

Because it's bright sunshine.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

harbhajan gone...just two wickets left....kumble should try to keep the strike now.

oh no rp singh gone too :cry match gone for india
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Game Over for India. It just took one over to get the last 3 wickets after a good partnership between Kumble and Harbhajan. Can't say anything except that I am pretty unhappy with those umpiring decisions that cost us the game.
I don't think India can make a comeback in this series if the batsmen fail to perform and umpires make wrong decisions against the ones that perform.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

That's that then.

Always a big ask for Sharma, pressure must have been unbearable.

Australia snatch victory from the jaws of a draw, despite defiant batting from Kumble and Ganguly.

Plenty of talking points, umpires will cop a lot of flak.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

The match should have been over long ago, the partnership between Dhoni and Kumble gave India hope but couldn't quite get the job done. Once Ganguly and Dravid fell, India was always facing defeat. Yuvraj and Jaffer have failed in all four innings. Dhoni stuck around for 80 balls, but more was needed off him. Very disappointed that we couldn't last for even 2 sessions.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

what an awesome match. great finish to a great game. i almost thought that the match was going to be a draw but clarke finished the game in one over. what a legend.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

we lost but well done to the indian team....they fought well till the end....full credit to kumble for batting and bowling so well...australia played well but got some help too....no point in thinking about that now... i hope we make a comeback at next match
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Mike111, you just gave 2 contrasting comments. :confused:

But i agree with most of what you said. the victory wont be quite as sweet because all of the 50/50's went theyre way. good show by the indians and full credit to them, they took it almost to the penultimate over, well done but hard luck
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

Lol that seemed strange to me. Turns out it was a database error.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

wtf that wasnt me. had me puzzled for a while. i see that its been fixed now.
yeah its not so good because of the controversy involving the umpiring but still it was a sensational finish to the match.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

jaffer and yuvi should be dropped for the next game...bring in karthik and sehwag....sehwag is very attacking player so he has better chance to play well.
 
Re: Australia vs India - Border Gavaskar Trophy

from an aussie point of view it was a cracking finish to the game, 3 wickets in 6 balls, it seems clarke enjoys bowling to indians, 6/9 now 3/5
