Australia v India, 2nd Test, Sydney, 3-7 January, 2012 (II)

Nice standing ovation by the hella grouse SCG members as TLM walks off for the last time in Tests.

Once again Hussey cleans up after a wicket-keeping error. Come back, Wally Grout, CA will pay off your gambling debts!

SRT has the same score as SRW in their final SCG innings.

Aye, poor keeping again from Haddit. Dodged a big bullet there.

Shurely not?

Pmsl at getting identical "TFFT" SMS s from skully and zim at the same time.

Milf bowls VVS with a peach.

Pretty much. Except no 100.

Tendulkar is an idiot. Everytime he goes into his shell and looks to defend, he looks vulnerable. Hasn't he learnt that by now?

Pattinson showing a worrying Midge like response of falling apart when things aren't going his way.

And Dhoni is an even bigger idiot than Tendulkar. Should be all over by tea now.

Lardy sends his regards to Trev and Mick re: that trundling pie-chucker Milf.

rofl....give the damn gloves to snicket NOW

Oh dear India.

Welly well well. Patto bowls tripe for a day then gets one to run along the ground. Perfect declaration from Pup.

Well, a pleasant turn of events while I've been forced to listen to the radio coverage. Home just in time - hopefully - to see the whole thing wrapped up. Got a mate's 50th tonight, and I'm tending the biggest BBQ I've ever seen, with ten to twelve kilos of various roasts under my stewardship.

And how about the bowled and the c&b from Hilfy? Two wickets and he was the last to realise on both of them!

It's been 18 innings outside of India since India scored more than 300. Will they get there this time?

good learning experience for OP...they need to keep cretins like bung away from him

Pitch getting a bit up and down. It won't matter now but it's the reason most of us thought Pup could've batted for at elast another hour. Let the cracks opena little more and the bounce to get a little more inconsistent.

May as well say it now - Congrats Australia. By far the superior team.

Very happy to acknowledge that Hilf's current season form is a welcome surprise.

who knows. they did the same the last time as well

india embarrassing themselves once again. australia absolutely killing them and soon it will be 6 consecutive defeats away from home. i dont think it was that bad even in the 90s

who could have predicted this 9 months ago. we have taken worse teams on tour, on paper, and gotten better results. sadly gambhir seems to have sealed his spot for the series at least

oz crowds are very respectful of champs from other countries
