4th Test: India v Australia at Nagpur

[NFC]

After your success with Watson and Krejza, now all we need rodney is for you to slag Cameron Shite and we are on our way but I suppose you can't work miracles.....

I stand by my Watto bagging though. He's been serviceable this tour but nothing more. He's had plenty of mates though and a few other who can't even claim that.

He's been better than that, and you know it. In fact by even saying that you're admitting it.

[hearts on fire]

Watson has been one of our better players this series, he has done a hell of a lot better than anyone would have thought.

WTF.
Stats to back that up please big fella.

[Brock Landers]

The idea of the art of spin bowling is to deceive the batsmen with flight and turn.

Even on turning tracks, White hasn't turned it off the square. You are never going to regularly get wickets in test cricket if you can't turn the ball.

Krezja looks a much better proposition. At least he is taking wickets early in an innings

Kumble took over 700

Kumble turns it.

31 with bat, 42 with ball = serviceable

I'm not sure how that is me admitting anything. He has been one of our better players but that doesn't mean he's been that good. He's been consistent with the ball but at no stage has he looked particularly threatening and he hasn't done an awful lot with the bat. As i said serviceable but he's hardly been a star.

i can't be bothered looking them up, but i think he has done quite well.

He has bowled pretty well and has also done alright with the bat, i was a bit ambitious saying he was one of our better players, but i think he deserves his spot and if everything goes to plan this test, he should retain his position this summer in Australia.

Very small amout of turn, White turns it as much.

India 3/122

Sehwag made 66
Vijay 33 (thought he played golf)
Dravid 0

Krejza 2/48

[FD88]

Geez that was terrible Haddin. We were building some pressure and he lets that go.

Not up to test standard IMHO

[locky801]

MMMM think we are getting into the trouble stake area again

INDIA 3/188

Tendulkar 55*


Laxman 27*

[NFC]

Geez that was terrible Haddin. We were building some pressure and he lets that go.

I missed it, what happened??

[Gozu]

Yes Krejza has two wickets but he's going for six runs an over.

Unless I wasn't paying enough attention (on the laptop at the same time), we were on track for three consecutive maidens before Haddin failed to make a straightforward stop and let the ball roll past him to the boundary for byes.

[dinglinga]

krezja has bought his 100 up in 18 overs

[FD88]

Krejza would have had Tendulkar as his third test wicket, but Johnson dropped him. That may be the match right there. D:

[cyclops]

Someone please tell me how the hell test cricket is going to get crowds coming thru the gates when we are playing on pitches like this in India.This is an absolute f##n disgrace,its so f##n boring id rather watch a game of netball.Australia seems to be the only country in the world that actually offers something for the batters,fast bowlers and the spinners.Surely the icc should have the power to do something about this or we might as well just watch 20/20 cricket all the time.f##n indian little cheats.f#k it gives me the sh#ts nowing the team that wins the toss is going to bat for the majority of day 1 and 2.TEST CRICKET WILL DIE IF THIS CONTINUES.We need to be realistic bout this if the indian crowds wont go to home games then surely thats sayn sumthing.The last tour there every day was sold out and they were all jumpn around like monkeys.

[FD88]

Krejza gets Laxman, India 4/264. So he's got Dravid, Sehwag and Laxman, and should have had Tendulkar a few overs ago. Needs work on his consistency but his good deliveries are better than good and he is a genuine turner of the ball unlike White. Warrants further selection, he has been surprisingly impressive.

[Thiele]

Krejza has 3/116
