Australia v India, 1st Tri-series ODI, Melbourne, 5 February, 2012

And what an embarrassing way for Sharma to get out. Bowled three quarters of the way up middle by a slow full toss from Doherty. X-Do will probably never get another wicket like that in his career.

Pretty fair team effort in the end by the Aussies.

There are two sides out there, but only one of them is playing cricket...

Well said, Jumbo.

but they have the momentum

Pissweak effort from Nein to ditch the cricket before the presentations to show some sh!t movie...

Can I clarify, it's worse than I thought. It's a sh!t Bruce Willis movie...

India started off all right but after the rain break became total shyte. They were a mess in the field, scrappy keeping, drops, misfields, overthrows and free hits. The less said about the batting the better.

Interesting that Dohni lost track of how many bowlers could bowl the maximum number of overs at the end, with two bowlers already bowled the maximum 7, then Rahul heading to be third (illegally), what would of happened if a wicket fell on either of those two balls, that Rahul bowled that he wasn't entitled to bowl.
Surprised Nikki didn't get MOTM, batted brilliantly, and well played by Fletcher at the end, just rotating the strike to a on fire Nikki, plus a tidy bit of work in the field for the run out.

Skulls

b) The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batsmen at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.

If Warner was marking his guard then that was probably enough evidence for the ump to consider the ball dead ...

Cheers A. This was Tubby's view.

Had to go out last night so missed the last 10 or so overs of the Aus innings. Caught the back end of the innings on Foxy replay this evening. These Hussey lads, some potential, what?
