1st test- Australia Vs India

[rod_rooster]

Ponting now gone for 4, knocked over by a very good ball from Khan

aust now 2/162

Hayden 87*

Hussey 0*

Well that's an understatement. It was a peach.

Hayden still looking good. Some good cricket from India though.

Yep have to agree Rob and nice to see Ponting acknowledge that fact as he walked off with a nod of the head, basically the unplayable delivery

Only way not to have got out to that would have been to play down the wrong line. I would've hit it for 4

[rod_rooster]

100* to Hayden.

Superb knock. Well done to a true superstar of Australian cricket. Test hundred number 28.

[Thiele]

weel done Hayden

[locky801]

well done to Haydos, not his best ton by a long shot but has fought real hard, lets hope he can go on and double it now

I reckon you wouldn't have lasted long enough to get a ball like that

Aust 3/213 at tea

Haydon 121*

Clarke 14*


Very even session of cricket IMHO

[locky801]

Clarke gone for 20, did not appear his usual self at the crease

Aust 4/225

Hayden 124*

Symonds 0*


couple more quick wickets and you could say that India are right in this

[locky801]

Now Hayden gone for 124


Aust in trouble at 5/241

Symonds 15*
Gilchrist 0*

[stampy]

got the wobbles just a little bit, this is tailor made for gilly and roy

[rod_rooster]

Not sure too much trouble. Could be 5/400 pretty quickly. Either way 350 plus is a good score just not what Australia is used to. Maybe the bowlers will actually have some pressure on them for a change. Would like to have Tait in that side.

[magpie in the 80's]

only 68,500 today. would have thought there would of been pushing for 75 to 80,000

Probably the only time i wish i lived in Melbourne. Why wouldn't you go to the greatest show on earth?

[locky801]

Cause you can sit at home and watch it on telly and speak to great people such as ourselves on SA FOOTY

If you're in Melbourne it ain't on telly until the last session.

Otherwise you are spot on. How's that pool? Gonna be hot later in the week. I'll see you then

[locky801]

Pools great, be better tomorrow with the telly on the verandah and I can watch the cricket whilst floating around like a beached whale

[locky801]

Symonds now gone, poor shot selection against the worlds best spinner


Aust now 6/281

Gilchrist 17*

reckon we may struggle to get 320 here

[rod_rooster]

Pools great, be better tomorrow with the telly on the verandah and I can watch the cricket whilst floating around like a beached whale

I'll be there at 10am. Beers on you

[locky801]

Gilchrist now gone trying to slog the worlds best spinner out the ground

Aussies in real strife at 7/288


Hogg 1* (and doesnt look like he is capable of hanging around long)

Lee 0*

[locky801]

Lee gone for a duck

Now 8/294

Kumble now has 5/60, funny, the bloke they reckon from the Lankans is the best spin bowler in the world, sorry pal, have watched a real craftsman spin his web today and honestly the aussies have had no idea on how to play him
