Perth Test

[Ravinag]

India 161 (60.2 ov)

Another failure from the famed India batting

[Rockguy707]

Another day of sustained hostile fast bowling from Australia. Hilfenhaus was the most successful with four, but you can't find fault with any of their bowlers who relentlessly tested India's batsmen. It was a pitch with some juice in it in the morning, but nothing more than you'd expect from a regulation Test match surface. Can't put the 161 all out to demons in the track, more of a combination of good bowling and another day of poor shot selection.
Hang around, the Australian reply will start in a about five minutes.
Down and under: "A deliberate ploy by the Indian team to get out early so that they can subject the Aussies to the Fremantle Doctor on the very first day....And you thought we failed, huh ?"
The_Wicked_Wicket: "Okay - it's friggatriskaidekaphobia that's troubling the Indian team today.... the Indian team could attribute the collapse at Perth to "Friday, The Thirteenth - the Demons on the WACA Deck"!!"

End of over 23 (maiden) Australia 149/0
DA Warner 104* (80b 13x4 3x6) Z Khan 7-1-44-0
EJM Cowan 40* (58b 6x4) V Sehwag 1-0-1-0


That's the end of an utterly humiliatingly day for India. If their fans were wondering how things could get worse after the England whitewash last year, there was the mauling in Sydney. If they thought that was the nadir, Friday the 13th brought on even more embarrassment. Shot out for 161, before Warner bludgeoned a magical century in less than a session. And to think, six months ago India were No. 1. As one reader posted, it was hard to decide whether the Indian bowling was worse or their batting.
At the end of that shellacking, India fans can only resort to humour of this sort. Vij: "Hey! India won the day by 12 runs!"
It's been a day to savour for Australia, and a day that should prompt deep introspection in Indian cricket circles.
