I'm surprised the two spinners - Doherty and Maxwell actually got some wickets - 7 of them to bowl out India for 500 and some change. Australia are in trouble at 2 for 70 odd though.

I thought Cricket Of The Future was going to sort out all this **** - **** this India Cup crap, it is lop-sided as India take far more wickets than the team I support, and it is obvious the Aussies are down on runs compared to India, so I am going to scream for parity like a whiney little bitch and say that I will refuse to watch...
Hughes must be in big trouble.
Wonder if English curators are working on perfecting some spin-friendly decks.

Not sure how to read that Wrighty. You give us no hope in the Ashes over there in a couple of months, or give the Poms no hope?

Khawaja may be in for Hughes. Not sure whether this will help our batting all that much...

The Aussies were well ****ed even before the 4 players got suspended. But there is good news, Haddin is heading over to save the day Actually he can play spin, So they will probably not play him and leave Wade there with a sprained ankle

And as expected Watson has cracked the shits and left the tour.

I don't get it - so the coach and captain don't have any ideas about how to improve the team's performance so they get everyone in the squad to give a presentation of what 3 things they would suggest to improve the team and 4 of them are sent home - let's look at the players:
Watson - probably thought wtf am i giving this presentation as I am VC.
Khawaja and Johnson - probably thought wtf am I giving this presentation as I haven't contributed to the losses on the field.
And Pattinson - probably thought wtf am I giving this presentation as unlike the rest of you I have actually performed!
Utterly bizarre.

3 things hey?
(1) Bat better
(2) Bowl better
(3) Field better
Starting to worry about divisions forming within the team, and between factions of the team and the coach.

Watson can **** off and not come back. With what has come out in recent days as to his alleged indiscretions, I sadly have to agree. He just doesn't have the right attitude. Clarkey is right to toe the hard line over this, especially with the Ashes coming up.

If Wade gets over his ankle in time, they may still need to play Haddin as a batsman. If they do play both, wonder which one will keep?

Not since Gilly started playing for Australia in the one dayers as a batsmen has this occurred IIRC
