Australia vs India, 3rd Test, Day 1
Finally, some cricket! The contest I'm most anticipating, now that Shaun Tait is in the squad, will be Tait versus Sehwag. The nature of Tait's bowling is he either takes wickets or goes for runs. The nature of Sehwag's batting is he either gets out or scores fast runs. I'm hoping India bat first just to hurry up that confrontation.
I'd also like to see Harbhajan versus Ponting although ironically, it won't be an ICC suspension that sees him out of the side but the bouncy WACA pitch. Shame - I'd like to see how he tops the commando roll.
The least interesting aspect of this Test will be the level of scrutiny leveled at the umpires. Every questionable decision will be agonised over by endless TV replays. Hopefully, the only criticism of the umpires will be what a tool Billy Bowden is.

That's a great cartoon of Billy.
I'm suprised you aren't mining the current rich vein of material for more cartoons ie dummy spits, commando rolls, clown makeup.

I did have an idea of Kumble and Ponting sitting on a pschiatrist/counsellor couch complaining about each other like a married couple. But well, I lacked the time and motivation :-(

Kumble wins the toss and bats. Not too long to wait for Sehwag vs Tait (that is unless Lee gets him out first).

Interested to see how Chris Rogers goes on his Test debut. Australia hasn't had many bespectacled cricketers. Good omen - Dirk Wellham wore glasses and made a hundred on debut (but not many more after that).
Any others you can think off ? Peter Taylor ?

Players from both teams are all shaking each others' hands, very sweet. I'd like to see some more bonding exercises - like that game where a guy falls backwards, trusting everyone else to catch him.

Yes that is why Sreesanth took 21 wickets in 3 tests on fast bouncy wickets in South Africa. Had he not been injured he and Zaheer would not have let Australia cross 150 here.

jaradevans: SA did prepare a seaming wicket in Joburg and a bouncy wicket in Durban. And most of our bowlers did really well there. Sreesanth is not Allan Donald but he is better than Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Tait and Ishant Sharma.

The time that Tendulkar and Dravid have in playing Tait makes me think that they are playing a sclub class bowler. Such class batsmen. I shudder to think what will happen to Tait on subcontinental pitches. T

bunny, seaming wickets are not fast bouncy wickets. I'm afraid you can't "prepare" a bouncy wicket, it's the nature of the surface itself. The wickets in SA are these days very similar to NZ wickets (having played on both surfaces over the past 10 years I can promise you this IS the case).
I'm also not getting into the playground "my dad's better than your dad" argument either. It's juvenile and bull****. Let their results do the talking.

Jaradevans: I agree one can't prepare a bouncy wicket. If at all it takes a lot of time. But the wicket in Durban was bouncy (way bouncier than WACA).
And if you look at their results you will see that Sreesanth is the best of the lot (although none of them have played enough test matches). And Sreesanth has got a deadly outswinger/leg cutter which none of the other possess.

Sorry, Mitchell Johnson can't swing and cut the ball? How did he take 4/11 against India then? the movement away from the right hander and bringing it in off the seam IS a left armer's cheif weapon (and one Johnson does have). I do like watching Sreesanth, however (barring the odd psychopathic episode) and would rather he was fit. I'd rather Australia play the best side India could produce, rather than 2nd and 3rd choice bowlers.

Posted by jaradevans on 2008-01-16 17:12:01
Jarad: Mitchell Johnson can swing and cut the ball but he needs helpful conditions (a bit like Irfan Pathan). In this tour he has been strictly 1-dimensional though. Just keep bowling way outside the off and hope that the batsman pokes at one. (Maybe that's what Ponting wants him to do. Keep it tight and bowl long spells).

I would say more than umpiring it is the aussies who are not playing fair and appealing excessively...there is no need for Lee to appeal for that Tendulkar ball. 2 balls earlier he appealed when the ball was going away and later he appealed when the ball was going above...this is how the aussies play...most of the LBWs the aussies appeal are not fair but their excessive appealing puts the pressure on the umpires....SHAME ON THE AUSSIE PLAYERS!!!

I might do another "simulated Test" at the end of this one, factoring in dodgy umpiring decisions. Two clear errors IMHO:
Tendulkar erroneously given LBW 71
Dravid erroneously given LBW reprieve on 67 (we'll see how many runs it costs Australia)

Ghurram, it's become a statistical compulsion for me (being a statistical geek). How I work out how many runs India lost from the umpiring decision - Tendulkar got to 71. According to StatsGuru, Tendulkar averages 124 runs per innings whenever he reaches 71. So India lost 53 runs from the LBW decision :-)

Okay, What is a good score on this track. A winning one. Should 400 be good enough for India, keeping in mind that Hayden is not there and Ponting is as good as not there.
As far as LBW is concerned, I think the umpire are best judge of it. Fielders will always appeal. Nothin wrong in it.

JC: I think you should only really count those scores where SRT made 71+ and in those innings he averages 153. So it cost India 82 and Dravid's reprieve cost Australia 22. So we are 60 runs behind.

bunny, agreed, umpiring was pretty good - only a few iffy LBWs which you can't really complain about. How I work out Tendulkar's "virtual average" is the average per innings as there are 12 not outs in his innings over 71 runs, inflating the batting average.
Posted by JC on 2008-01-16 22:15:08
Posted by JC on 2008-01-16 22:15:08
JC, not really sure why you're counting Tendulkar? If you are going to include LBW's then he was out on 49. It looked out to the naked eye and Hawkeye confirmed it. So by your Calc's that would make Australia 22+22=44 run behind where they should be at the start of day 2.

You got to love how when the decisions have been going against Australia all day, one against Dravid and Tendulkar you still get the idiots who whinge that India were "robbed".
It is kind of pathetic...
At the end of the day bad umpiring decisions "could" cost a team a game, but they happen all the time, but you won't see Australians burning effigys.

The spirit and umpiring in this test has been good so far.
I agree with JC assessment that India are slightly ahead on UMPH factor on day one.

Tendulkar was snookered by excessive dramatic appeal by Lee that pressurized Rauf on consecutive deliveries...
Just for the record on APPEALS.
Yes he would have been out at 49 earlier.

Hello guyz whoever is complaining that Tendulkar got a reprieve on 49...it is b**s**t. If you have watched it in hawkeye, the ball was going over the top...and usually benefit of doubt is given in batsmen's favor. What do you guyz say about excessive aussie APPEALING...it is not in the right spirit of the game...the excessive appealing by Lee forced Rauf to give Tendulkar out LBW. Unless the aussie mentality change...it is not right to play against these aussie cheats!!! I am sorry for writing this...but just think about it!

JC: Just wondering what the difference is in your simulations between players' overall averages in innings over a certain score and players' overall averages in innings over a certain score AGAINST AUSTRALIA?

Excessive appealing - cheating. Again, if it is a line-ball decision in the umpires mind then a good/strong appeal may get you over the line, but if it's not out in his eyes then it's not out. This excessive appealing/pressurising umpires crap you continue to drag out is a laugh. If we were found to be excessively appealing for slim chances in this match then wait for the announcement of penalties/fines - nothing so far.
Toughen up, saw a couple of nice lb chances on Dravid go begging, one from Johnson that was absolutely plum - but you don't see me down at Bunnings buying bits for an effigy. In this days play they evened out.

rk9, HTFU. If it looks like it might be given then appeal. Get over it.

Mike can you get effigy's in Bunnings now, wow they really do stock everything. Then again being a multi-cultural nation the local Indian supporters have to get them from somewhere.
Looking forward to seeing the Indian's not "excessively appeals". According to their fans the Indians will only appeal once for each wicket...
