Cricket Test Series 2014: Australia v India

[QF WP]

Watson out for 0, caught by wicketkeeper after a very very poor shot. What was he thinking? He should go for the 3rd test. Not batting like a test player should.

AUST 2/22 at tea . Smith is in

 

[QF WP]

Smith gets lucky and its 2/40. 4 byes... Who'd have thought ??

 

[QF WP]

Rogers has opened himself to scoring runs rather than being the sheet anchor. 2/63. Smith 5
9, Roger 38

 

[QF WP]

Steve Smith dropped !! Poor fielding and had himself moving the wrong way

 

[QF WP]

Rogers gets a well deserved 50. Rogers 55 and Aust 2/84

 

[QF WP]

Whoops -spoke too soon. Rogers out for 55. 3/85 with Sharma getting all the wickets. smith 12 n.o.

 

[QF WP]

Charging up the phone and there have been two wickets to fall - Shaun Marsh and just then, Steve Smith.

5/122. Now only need 6 runs, so the win is a given

 

[Awesom Andy]

Would certainly be an interesting match if we had to chase another 50...

 

[QF WP]

That's a Win . Marsh and Johnson finish the job

 

[QF WP]

Just had Greg Matthews walk past us in the QCC. Just come off the ground with an "Area of Play" pass. He looks old

 

[QF WP]

Would certainly be an interesting match if we had to chase another 50...

It would have been a close run thing - thankfully Starc and Mitchell were still fresh

 

[QF WP]

Having out last beer for the day:

 

[JohnK]

They have 9 wickets, and need to last about 4 sessions or may be pray for some rain. It can be done.

I didn't think India could do it.

We were lucky to win. The Indians lost the plot yesterday where our last 4 wickets scored 250+. A game of cricket turns very quickly. Another 50-60 runs today and we were gone.

Clearly a few under performers in the team but as long as we are winning they don't change the team.

 

[QF WP]

I think the Indians only this morning. They were 1/61 at stumps. I expected them to bat all today and be a 5th day chase for the Aussies. They capitulated today losing 9 wickets.

We made hard going to get the 128 runs needed. So 15 wickets today - unusual but not unheard.

 

[QF WP]

Joe Burns (Qld batsman) has been announced to replace Mitchell Marsh

 

[QF WP]

I think his father thought Joe was joking when he was told

 

[QF WP]

The Third Test begins today. I'll be driving to the Gold Coast to see friends and will check in from time to time

 

[Major]

Are there any AFF members at the MCG today ?

 

[QF WP]

They're off, Aust batting

...and Warner is out for 0. 1/0
