The totally off-topic thread

[JohnK]

Fair enough at least you got to see some cricket , Aussies might just sneak a win this test.

Hmmm.... All out for 164 and if not for Siddle and the tailenders it would have been much lower each innings.

Siddle is the first number 9 to score a 50 in both innings of a test and the first number 9 to top score in both innings of a test. It does not say very much for the specialist batsmen. Hoping for a miracle....

 

[JohnK]

And in next to no time India is almost half way to target for loss of 1 wicket. It is tea now but if they continue at this pace the test match is over today.

They should make Siddle the batting coach for Indian tours.

Vettel had team orders not to pass yet nearly takes out both Red Bulls for his own ego!

 

[JohnK]

Australia have taken 3 quick wickets to have a sniff at victory although India only need 27 with 6 wickets in hand.

How they can allow betting on these rigged races is beyond me.

Good to see Flash is offline , what a joke Mark Webber screwed again!

Scores are level so Australia cannot win.

And Dhoni just hit a FOUR for the winning runs.

India have won a test series 4-0 for the first time ever.

Sad day for Australian cricket and I just hope that most of you are right and our poor performance is due to Indian pitches but I think the issues go deeper than that. Australia need some soul searching and hopefully they are ready for the Ashes later in the year.

Probably expected over in India, even with Warne etc we could only win one series there, but you still like to go down with a fight , now if we get flogged by the Poms then that's another story :evil:

That was a joke Vettel will be fine though as its a German team.

I don't like team orders though they should just race, Hamilton seemed positively embarrassed to be on the podium. It's not good for the sport

Perhaps an appropriate cricket thread could be initiated.. :mrgreen:

I thought anything other than flying was fine.

Just saying ... cricket seems so pervasive at the moment, it could have its own OT thread ....
