OK, Now We Rock at cricket- What was I thinking :-)

[Snow]

An outright win would be a great way to finish an already won series. They just need the flat Sydney track to start breaking up a little to give our bowlers the edge.

[paceman]

It's only the 1st innings, plan will be to make 650+ and only bat once, then spend the next 3 days talking 20 wickets. It's not that hard if you understand cricket...

trouble is, if a result is to happen, then this pitch better start breaking up from the concrete strip it is at the moment.

or else india's top order (who aren't in terrible form either) will just keep batting as well...

i love how our commentators start looking for the superlatives when our batters make runs, when the pitch is an absolute batters paradise...

i am willing to bet my leftie that if the ball was moving a bit, half those runs don't get scored...

[D4D]

1 down, 19 to go

Dontcha love the unbiased commentary  If the Indians have a cuddle circle you never hear the end of it, but when the Aussies did it, it never rated even a mention ffs

i'll take healy over brayshaw, any day of the week.  at least healy can talk sense and actual cricket tactics, instead of just wanting to boof aussie players...

here's a new drinking game for channel 9 cricket:  take a shot when someone says 'outstanding'.

pissed within minutes...

[Bird]

at least healy can talk sense

but how to you turn him off??? once he starts...

When something good happens for the aussies, hes like Bill Lawry on the 12th man when Merv gets his caught and bowled...

A few years ago everyone was bagging the "old" commentary team, but based on comments here it seems that the late Mr Greig would well and truly be welcomed back from the grave should that highly unlikely event ever transpire.

don't know what you've got until it's gone...

greigy told it how it was and gave it to the aussie muppets in the comm box...

legend.

[Mace]

A current run rate of 2.16!

About as exciting as watching:

[Homer_Jay]

It's a slow old day today.

They really need pitches with a bit more life.

Be no result in this game.

[Bird]

Be no result in this game.

Plenty are hoping for this cause "we won" then and they feel better about themselves.

[D4D]

Watson picks up a couple of quick wickets. That'll keep him in the team for at least the next season...

Day 4 BORING draw coming up YAWN

Day 4 BORING draw coming up YAWN

Australia will go back into bat, leave 20mins for India to get 12,000 runs.
Awesome.........

[paceman]

cricket australia want tests to go for five days, hence the flat wickets.

all about the cash.

day 4 and we haven't even started the second innings for either team.  riveting.

[Paul (SA)]

C'mon India. Have a bleeping go!

This test is slowly grinding into a cure for insomnia.

NO no, this is the technical excitement of test cricket.. you just don't understand it....

i think anyone with half a brain would agree that this is not good test cricket. 

but i'll take half decent test cricket over t20 hit and giggle any day of the week.
