the second match of the india-australia series is on...guys use this forum to post your views about the happenings of the match and reveal your couch-expert side.
The match will decided in tommorow morning as early morning pitch will support to bowlers in first session if indian batsmen played will in that session we can have some hopes on the match.
No sasi,now pitch has become so dried. Its a pure batting pitch,a little hint of movement would be there,but it won't affect,till batsman commit mistake. Dravid was bowled,on a straight line. There was no movement,it was dravid mistake.
Till the batsman commit mistake,its difficult to get our on this pitch now.
The third day of the 2nd match of the border-gavaskar series witnessed display of some brilliant batting on the part of the aussies. The tripple hundred from the aussie captain would stand as the highlight of the day.
India on the other hand got off to a positive start with gambhir playing some delightful shots. During the closing hours of the day both the batsmen (gambhir and sachin) went into a defensive shell which was somewhat criticised by the experts.
The 4th day will be a testing one for the indians . Aussies will be eyeing a quick wrap up while the indians will be hoping for the Mega Ton.
Yes he batted brilliantly but he must wait for some time to reach his 400 runs and must be declared but he had not waited for records he want the match result.
Did you guys know that the authorities of the sydney cricket ground have officially announced that if sachin makes his 100th ton in this match then they will rename the ground to Sachin cricket ground as it happens to be the 100th match to be played in SCG.
Good Day of play has started for India. On Day 4,morning session has gone to india. 243-3 . Sachin and Laxman on crease. We just lost 1 wicket i.e Gambhir.
There was a hope, that Indians experience unit can save this test match. But,its difficult. Defensive,defensive. Ridiculous Sachin !!! When the Batting condition is good,you can't be defensive.
Correctly,said by the expert Indians can't play overseas. Ghar ke hi sher hai !
Dissapointment again by the indian batsmen...but i guess we had lost the match in the first day itself. There need to be some changes made in the side and in tactics as well...rohit sharma is in a fine form and deserves a place in the next match while kholi needs to practice in the nets and find his form.
We have to accept that india does not plays well on foreign pitches. But,in 2nd Innings they did played well except dhoni,virat and sehwag. 400 is a good score.But the massive score of Australians had put us on the back-foot.
India needs changes. As said,Rohit would come in place of Virat.
But,in this match we lost,due our bowlers. Dhoni's captaincy didn't worked. Really had to learn from Australians. The fielding was attacking. Bowlers can't do anything,if the fielding is not set proper.
I would say, Batting first in 1st innings ,was the wrong decision.
If we would had batted second,result would had been different.
