whats the follow-on rules in this match anyways? its a 4-day match so it might be 150 runs

The board 11 should forget about the upcoming test series should just have ONE goal in their mind

Win the match and win it BIG!

by JGK Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:34

Aust wouldn't mind the follow on I think. It will give their rusty batsmen a chance to get some more practice in before the first test.

by PlanetPakistan Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:36

Clark showing the top order on how to bat against spin! Couple of beautiful strikes for six.

by philcric Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:37

Hmm .. I'm also leaning towards enforcing follow-on now.

Aus still can avoid follow-on though. They are around 50 away.

by JGK Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:47

The Indian bowlers have already bowled 100 overs. They'd be crazy to enforce the follow on other than to satisfy Yuvraj's ego.

by philcric Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:51

Aus need 41 more runs to avoid follow on.

Most of the overs were bowled by 20 year old spinners...

by PlanetPakistan Sat 04 Oct 2008, 06:57

S Clark- Chris Martin he is NOT.

by The One Sat 04 Oct 2008, 07:31

i think the follow-on is not possible now. too long of a stint already today and the spinners are getting a bit of stick

by Para Batsman Sat 04 Oct 2008, 08:02

Hussey gets his 100.

by Henry Sat 04 Oct 2008, 08:33

Looks like the game is heading towards a draw now.

by Henry Sat 04 Oct 2008, 08:39

In fact the game has pretty much ground to a halt.

by JGK Sat 04 Oct 2008, 10:35

Aust all out for 314 - 96 run 10th wicket partnership.

Clark's great day continues - currently has 1/10 off 5.

by JGK Sat 04 Oct 2008, 10:44

In other news, Cam White FFS has been chosen to replace McGain.

We are SO screwed.

badrinath fails again

IIRC last team to win in IND with out a spinner was the famous W Indian team of the 80s.

south africa and australia won primarily due to pace. boje and warne cleaned up a few times
I remember Warne did quite well in 2004

That should tell you that Ponting's poor form in India is not a guarantee. Warne had an aweful record in India before that.

Would we be less screwed if it was Beau Casson answering the call?

Badrinath can never succeed against quality seamers because of the odd grip that he has. He just fails to get on top of bounce even if there is little bit of extra bounce.

Impressive bowling by Chawla and Ojha. Pathan and Goni weren't bad either.

.

And in the other match vs NZ A Amit Mishra took 6 wickets in the first innings.

India's spin stock coming along nicely?

At least he can turn the ball and has potential not stuck in the groove like the straight leg spinner.

by JGK Sun 05 Oct 2008, 05:10

Interesting, Cricinfo commentary suggests Jaffer should have been given run out off the last ball of Day 3 but the third ump said not out.

Did any of our Indian forummers see what happened?

by PlanetPakistan Sun 05 Oct 2008, 05:48

AUS getting hammered again! Its more to do with good batting than poor bowling.

by Henry Sun 05 Oct 2008, 05:50

The problem for Aus is that apart from Lee and Clark, they have a genuinely inexperienced bowling attack.
