Australia v India, 4th Tri-series ODI, Adelaide, 12 February, 2012

And the sh!tfest continues.

Wooo! Starts in 90 minutes and still no posts. Epic.

You sense they're already regretting bringing back the tri series.

their bank balance isn't.

So, Forrest to play?

you would think so, unless the players are arcing up about being rested.

Don't think so, Trev.

As I alluded to last week, with the finalists most likely to be Aus and India, there are potentially more games for India to be exposed to the Indian audience, where the major cash comes from, than if it had've been a 5 or even 7 match Aus v Ind series. 4 v Aus and 4 v SL, and possibly 3 finals. Ka-ching.

He should, or he'll end up like Dean Jones rotting on the sidelines in 92-93. Was 12th man for the early part of the Test series v Windies, then got dropped and never played another Test for Aus. PMSL.

Forrest in, Mitch Marsh 12th

Tendulkar rested, so no 100th 100 today

Punter fails again.

Time to hang up the Canary Yellows Punter.

Aye. FMD, the poor man struggled like all hell to get himself into some Test form, and all credit to him, he succeeded. Now he's put the yellows on and played his way out fo form again.

Yes in canary yellow the same old weaknesses have resurfaced.

Clarke having a strike rate of over 80 (and well over 100 ), India's rubbishness never ceases to amaze.

Stoopid run out.

Good pace from Yadav today. Has any Aus bowler bettered the 151.4 kph that Yadav has got up to just now? Let's hope he can progress rather than go backwards.

And he's just got Clarke, ironically with a slower ball.

Darn it. Pup looked in good touch.

Umesh looking in decent touch. Now, if only Ashwin bowled somewhere other than the farking middle and leg stump.

I reckon it's a Dhoni instruction. Harbhajan was criticised and eventually dropped for doing it as well.

And now Ashwin is getting hammered. Again. Pragyan Ojha is a much better ODI bowler, imo.

But it's typical Duncan Fletcher, isn't it- Leaving the best spinner on the sidelines because he's not as good a batsman or fielder as the others. He really is a stubborn old f*cker, isn't he. Seemingly incapable (or unwilling) of learning from past mistakes.

Possibly. Harbhajan overdid and took it to the tests.

Forrest has been quite impressive. A tad slow, though.

A fair start to his international career by the Forrest kiddy.

33 not out.


The score he was on when Mark Nicholas proclaimed- "Australia have found one here."

In a World of uncertainty, at least you can rely on the Channel Nine commentators for fair, rational, and balanced views......

Forrest becomes only the 12th Aussie to make 50 on his JAMODI debut.

As long as you don't rate him, Trev, it's all good.
