session update tea day 4

...
Another question for the cricket administracrats, how come tea can be taken anytime there is rain, but lunch can’t be. I don’t really care if Lord Toffynose gets asparagus that is over done, its about the cricket gentleman.

2 down at tea, even though the last session is going to be longer than a Peter Jackson film, is still a pretty good spot for Australia to be in.

Hayden is standing like Ash in Army of Darkness, except without the sense of humour. He is injured, but his batting is the reason India yet again found themselves losing momentum.

It’s a common thread in this series, they get into the game by taking a few wickets or by having a big partnership, but then los it all quickly through the Aussies aggressive style.

The spin bowling Singh was looking pretty dangerous, so Hayden smashes him for 2 reverse sweeps. Kumble has to shuffle the field, and all of a sudden Australia looks comfortable.

Imagine the set of large testicles youu need to play a reverse sweep 2 down scores pretty much level on the 4th day.

I’m assuming he has to check them in before boarding, to big for check in.

The first shooter has occurred, and I think Kumble was unlucky not to get the LB decision against Hussey. The umpire was probably morally against giving a right arm leg spinner a LB when bowling around the wicket to a left handed batsmen playing a shot, or it was another mistake.

Ganguly left the field again, apparently he is ill, or really really lazy.

Just on the rain delay the King Probot got a short one off Anil and slapped it just wide of Yuvraj, who was probably a bit unsighted due to the short leg fielder. He flung his hand out, and dropped it.

When your sh1t outta luck the ball knows it, ask Gilly or Yuvraj.

Yuvraj then fell over, which pretty much sums up his tour.

Harbhajan bowled really well, but still a bit flat. He beat the bat a few times and had about 12 “spinners only” chances. Other than reverse sweeps and one bad over he has hardly been scored off.

Anil bowled some excellent deliveries, but the Aussies seemed to score off him pretty easily. Sachin and RP bowled only a few overs each.

Hussey still looks susceptible to good spin bowling, but you can see how hard he wants to succeed. Sort of like a nerdy accountant in a singles bar, you so want him to get a phone number.

Hayden is Antonio Banderras in desperado, injured and angry, those Christians don’t like to lose at anything. He is dragging Australia up the mountain, like Moses did with the Scientologists.

It’s raining at Randwick. Not sure what that means, but it is.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
