I’ve written this three times, but due to the mcg’s wireless network and my parent’s computer it hasn’t been public.
So just in case my parent’s computer dies again I’ll write a simple version.
Dravid – sh1te, really sh1te, looked so far gone, you’d be hard pressed to realize who it was.
Tendulkar – really good, maybe not the Sachin of old, but enough to remind us of who he was.
Rest of India’s woeful batting line up – Sh1te, utter sh1te, really utter defensive sh1te. Have to wonder how they intended to make more than 343 runs by batting like pansies.
Lee, Clark and Johnson, bowled a pretty handy line and length on a wicket that is more than a little hard to bat on, but their great figures were more to do with India’s complete lack of genetalia.
Hogg – was lucky because after Sachin and even prince lord snooty smacked him, managed to slow down a batting order that batted at less than 2 runs an over all day to 5 runs an over. Then he got out Ganguly with one that went out underground.
The whole Mcg crowd was wondering where Bryce McGain was, or was that just me?
I will be back tomorrow, and hopefully my wireless access will work, or even better I’ll remain sober.
This was written after alot of lemonade, so if it doesn’t make sense i’m sorry.
terrible batting indeed… though apart from the initial hammering, I felt Hogg bowled quite ok though.
Dravid did that in the Oval test in England this year too. The crowd slow-hand-clapped him, and he hit the next ball for four in response, but very soon after that edged one to slip.
Well played Australia, to come back strongly into the match. Good bowling by Lee and Clark, but the real sh11te continues to be umpiring though the Indian batting can’t escape censure for a very poor effort.I never was in favor of the batting order anyway. But that’s besides the point.Guess they’ll just have to beat this sh11te, put the sh11te behind them and play their way out of this hole. I don’t think this match is over yet, nor the series.Enough sh11te has come from umpires this season, yet India has managed to hold ground. This time, thankfully, it wasn’t the usual Tendulkar who suffered at the hands of umpires but Yuvraj and Dhoni. Some questions too on Kumble. (I just watched the highlights having missed the day’s play). They’ll flush this sh11te away as yesterday’s waste again and carry on.It is entirely upto the batsmen now. Boy, I gotta head for the loo with all this talk of sh11te!
