One of the major players against India, when india plays abroad are pitches. Otherwise how com they are heroes in India and zeros outside? SO why encourage India play test matches at all, when defeat is certain?and india has never bothered to prepare international standard pitches that suit fast bowlers

I do not know what to say
-----
As far as Todays show at ADELAIDE is just a repeat of SCG test

at SCG --- 3 wickets quick then
Clarke 3 century
Ponting Century plus
---
Adelaide
--
3 wickets then we have
@Ponting close to double century
@Clarke close to double century as well
--------
Are Indian bowlers motivated or just through the motions ?

your state ment in generic terms is correct
but what happened on the field today is lack of wickets - in 2,3 and 4 sessions which is very weird ?

ponting's 100 and his crossing 13000 runs in tests has give sachin thoughts about his retirement. Pointing is only 2000 runs behind sachin & 2 yrs younger .

2 yrs age diff is not a factor at all

Sachin has ample time left
BCCI as well his team mates want him both to motivate and score runs
ofcourse as a mentor too

Records will eventually come

The 37-year-old, who scored his first century in two years in the second Test in Sydney [ Images ], brought up his 61st Test fifty with two runs behind square leg.
Thats a wrong statement those two runs comes from leg bye, punter scored his century by hitting zaheer for 4 runs.

Indian Cricket Team - a Shame to India - Disperse them
by powerful Goldstar on Jan 24, 2012 01:09 PM  | Hide replies

An absolute bunch of non-performing money eating pedestrian crickets with no energy or spirit or competitiveness to win. Even Bangladesh or Kenya cricketers are better. Disperse this team and form Gilly Danda Team. There is no use of them playing cricket anymore. Board the next flight back to India to avoid beating at hands of Aus and Srilanka. Dhoni and Sehwag are shame faces of Indian cricket.

I saw your comments before ,by looks of it looks like an Aussie
--
anyway why are indian bowlers unable to obtain a wicket in 2nd ,3rd and 4th sessions(if any) Today(First Day)
---
can someone tell me the real reasons :
Flat pitch?
Inaccurate bowling ?

what has led to a wicket less sessions ?
so many too
--------
will it be SCG test where Clarke makes a Tripple Century again
?
and Ponting double century again ?
----
very hard to follow such cricket ,in SCG they bowled without wicket and next day bowled better ?

is this a repeat of SYDNEY ?

-----
SCG TEST - three quick wickets
then Clarke - 3 century
Ponting - Century
--------
@Adelaide tes
-----
Three quick wickets in one session
then nothing and looks like
Clarke - double century
Ponting - Double century as well

Ponting against India..
by jaguar on Jan 24, 2012 01:07 PM

well, Ponting must be thanking his stars that Aus played this Test series just at the nick of time.. Indian bowlers are known for giving big lives to struggling batsmen and Punter is no exception.. Everyone was talking abt SRT's 100th ton before the start of this series but Ponting was licking his limbs at the prospects of blasting pathetic indian bowling attack and return to form.. I suspect this series belongs to Punter.. his revival and the beginning of end for the awesome threesome!!!

@Why no wickets in - 2nd ,3rd and 4th sessions ?
by rama anne on Jan 24, 2012 01:04 PM  | Hide replies

Even I cannot understand
---
someone said Shehwag has no Third slip against even NEW BALL ,raises a few questions

i)Are Indian bowlers juts not interested in taking wickets

ii)does captains field placements indicate to the bowler to just go through the MOTIONS on the field

iii)why is Indian cricket Team playing like this ?

How could they not create CHANCES ,is SCG test recreated again in ADELAIDE

in SYDNEY too they took 3 quick wickets ,but Clarke make a Triple Century and PONTING a Century

I have serious doubts something is wrong
But what exactly wrong I do not know
----
There are some Bangladeshis in syd while I walk I see them sometime
they say betting and BCCI corruption - But yet I also find it hard to beleive them and think they may be wrong or motivated against India to say such things anyway ?
==================
being a concerned Indian Cricket Fan Can I please know what exactly is hapening in this TEST ?

why are Indian bowlers unable to get any wicket - in 2 session or 3 or 4th sesssion at all ?

Flat Pitch?
Inaccurate bowling ?
bad field placements by Captian ?

what is wrong ? can anyone shed some light please

iam sure when Australia bowls it will look as if there is nothing wrong with the PITCH
-
usually First day Pitch is supposed to assist BOWLING and then Flatten out

so did it flatten out just after one session ?

by anirban lahiri on Jan 24, 2012 12:04 PM

what is going on?Can't India play a single match in a fighting mode.they r just waiting for the Aussies to make mistakes.They should be dropped into an uninhabited island on the way back.

Only player in Indian team to face fast bowling
by Kumar Gourkar on Jan 24, 2012 11:57 AM  | Hide replies

I think only player who can handle the Aussies fast swing bowling is Sehwag. Wait for Indias batting innings. Sehwag will score double century.
