Spectators at the Radelaide Oval said they had never seen such a brutal draw in all the tests they had visited.
India were confused at Australia playing for a draw, but they decided to go with it as they are comfortable with draws.
Ian Chappell was heard to say it was one of the best draws the great Les Burdett has cultivated in his time at the Radelaide Oval.
He said it reminded him of a first class game where the great Les Favell drew a game against Victoria.
Anil Kumble said he was happy with the spirit that Ganguly didn’t walk with.
Ponting was quite impressed with how Michael Clarke positioned himself at slip.
Gilly went out of his way not to mention Michael Slater in any press conference.
Sehwag didn’t say anything to the media in case he would get dropped for another few tests.
Matthew Hayden thanked jesus for Gilly, Mark Nicholas prostrated himself in front of Gilly like he was Jesus.
And Bill Lawry left quietly with something flapping in his suit case.
Ps, Shane Watson has been promoted to the role of wicketkeeper for Queensland for the rest of the year. Sime was heard to say,
“Lets be honest, he’s a surefire selection now.”
A dreary test befitting its venue
Brilliant doesnt begin to describe this post!!!Absolutely, totally, brilliant!!!
“And Bill Lawry left quietly with something flapping in his suit case.”Let me guess…the stump microphone transcript?Or was it Sachin’s honour?I was disappointed Gilly didn’t get a bowl. Did you see Missus Gilly, she has the figure of a 16 year old. Damn!
if only…this series has spared you from writing another frustratingly angry posts on gilly and hogg…specially hogg…indians did enough to ensure just that…only if CA takes the clue…
I’m glad I went to bed instead of staying up to watch. I’m also glad that I hopefully won’t have to look at / think about Brad Hogg’s tongue any more.
SP, I never wrote frustratingly angry posts on gilly. Just said he was slipping, which he agreed with. Did, sat next to mrs gilly on a plane once, i know what slater saw in her. Homer, thanks.
It looks to me as if Australia aren’t that good at cricket any more. Have they tried swimming? Apparently, that can get exciting.
Can you guys help me here…How many times did Gilly ever walk anyway?
I like Gilly, I really do. A principled man. But I seem to remember Gilly walking one time when he in no way got any kind of nick. If I had the time I’d trawl through my wisdens and find it.We don’t get to hear much of Sime on this blog. Not that I don’t love you dearly Uncle J Rod. Just saying, you know.
LB, he walked most times he nicked the ball. Always got on my nerves.Miriam, Sime has a very deamanding cat.
Ah, well you see I’m from New Zealand so I can’t really remember ever seeing Gilly knick it.
Sehwag didn’t say anything to the media in case he would get dropped for another few tests. Matthew Hayden thanked jesus for Gilly, Mark Nicholas prostrated himself in front of Gilly like he was Jesus. And Bill Lawry left quietly with something flapping in his suit case. The best review I’ve read of the match title downwards. And I spend good money on five fkkng newspapers every day! Not to talk about web browsing.When you break ground for your publishing house, I’m already qued up to buy a share.
Actually you should put up a “genius at work” sign while blogging…
You’ll make me blush SB.
Jeez, get a room.
