On that, hopefully Hazy now knows he's good enough and moves on to become a useful impersonation of the mighty Pidg.

Play Hilfy (so he can reach 100 Test wickets)

Hilfy should have played in Brisbane. Swing bowler, workhorse ... what were they thinking choosing Starc? Not sure Starc even had form going into the game. Let's hope he makes a few runs ...

starcs never had reliable form with the red ball. hilfenhaus was the logical choice

Starc had taken a few wickets in his last Shield game and played the 2nd test in the UAE (and didn't suck).

M Marsh shows that stoopidity runs in the family.

Sharma bowling beautifully. Nearly had Haddin LB there.

"Sorry Brad, we think you're struggling a bit too much, so I'll go around the wicket and serve up a half-tracker on your hip so you can get going."

Stupid idiots.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:49

Haddin fall into the trap first ball after drinks.

by JGK Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:50

Bye bye Brad.

by JGK Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:50

Hard to see how Aust can win this test from here.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:54

Ugh - deep shit.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:55

Positions like this is why qunts like Twatson should be dropped for someone with some heart, like Moo.

by WideWally Fri 19 Dec 2014, 00:59

Surely this is Haddin's last test.

by Blackadder Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:06

Looks like Instant Karma, trying to bounce out Midge despite being a mediocre 130ish km/h confused

He's scored 91 runs in 7 Tests since the Ashes.

He's now embarrassing himself.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:08

India are letting their desire to act all fired up get in the way of them actually remembering to play good cricket.

by JGK Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:09

Apparently* Rohit sledged Midge as he walked in asking him how many wickets he took.

Doesn't sound like the smartest thing to do when you might be battig later in the day.

Rohit certainly doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the box. For a start, Johnson has so many comebacks at his disposal, seeing as it was Rohit who sledged him.

Ishant really is an idiot.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:33

Did Tweak dodge a bullet with that lb shout? It looked close. Ah, no, hit him outside off. Nice work Gouldie.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:34

Just when India needed to step up, they've collapsed into a heap. Mentally weak.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:35

Crikey, Midge is having some fun.

Ironic stuff. The Bannies have attempted to get the mental edge on Aus with heavy sledging and intimidatory bowling, but it's backfired deluxe.

by skully Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:41

That's a cracking shot to bring up a cracking 50. Well played, Midge. Good for his bowling confidence as well.

by Henry Fri 19 Dec 2014, 01:42

India are bowling so badly here, you could legitimately ask if there is some fixing going on. Absolutely brainless stuff.
