Heading towards embarassment

5 for 27 after 9 overs.
The record for the lowest ODI total is in danger.

Are these really the back up bowlers we're facing here?

How come Johnson is even hitting the pitch?

Run MSD, your intelligence will be questioned for batting first. But RAF still thinks you are ace.

Lack of application on part of the batsmen can't be blamed on you.

Could our bowlers have been trusted to make use of the 'bowler friendly' conditions early on?

Fuck, i'll just go hide somewhere now.  

6 bouncers:

All right the series is over. A royal kick was given. One dead rubber left.

man, these guys need a proper kick up their arse to get things right.
nothing less, maybe something more

I was surprised Johnson played - I thought he'd be rested for sure. But I'm not complaining, he did good.

It's true a royal kick was given in that last match, but over all the series was pretty close - I certainly bit my nails to the quick more than once!

Apparently, Dhoni has asked for a pack of move and team physio has been working overtime.

Sid,
If we are going to have clode matches against an aussie 3rd 11, its something to worry about.
But all credit to your lads for slugging it out.
Bollinger and Mckay certainly did more than enough to fill gaps left open due to injuries.

Johnson was bound to bowl ONE good spell for all the talent he has.
Dunno who or what scrambles his radar so often these days

Som,
I certainly think it was a dicey decision to bat first.
But if a 'world class' lineup cant get by 5 over of decent swing-seam bowling, can it be called world class?

poor dhoni's been ripped to shreds by some tv channels. Cant help but notice, i work for one.
