C'mon Siddle. Your turn to get a wicket.

Kholi gone now.

7 down, 60 to get for India, 15 overs to go.

Still anyone's game.

60 to get for India. 3 wickets for Aussies to get a great win. Michael Clarke done his hammy much earlier in day and not on the field.

I felt it was anyone's game until Kohli got out. He was devastated as he knew he had to be the one to get them to the end. I doubt these other batters have the class of him to do it.

Yeah, agree, especially India 8 down now.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

First ball with new ball Johnson does it. What a ball!

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Sad that Clarkey cannot be out there for this.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Acting captain Haddin stumps the last man off Lyon. What a finish.

 

[Deeman1]

Thats it all over.

Lyon 7 in second innings to go with his 5 in the first.

Warner a century in each innings and Smith a century in first and half century in the second both not out.

Great win by the Aussies!

 

[Courtesans]

What a fabulous game of test cricket. Aussies won but India were great. Big bash etc. pales into insignificance.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

What a test match!!! Great to watch!

Well done to all involved

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Starc added to the squad, Hazelwood in line to debut after Siddle struggled again and Harris' recovery going to be a worry with the short time to recover between tests.

AUSTRALIA XI for the second Test: David Warner, Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Steve Smith (c), Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon

BREAKING NEWS
Acting Australian captain Steve Smith has just confirmed that fast bowling duo Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle will miss the second Test in Brisbane, meaning that Mitchell Starc is back in, and Josh Hazlewood will debut !
"Ryan Harris pulled up a little stiff and sore from Adelaide, he's got a slight quad-strain," said Smith.
"With Starc, we wanted to play a bowler with a bit of pace and bounce.
"Mitchell deserves his spot, he's bowled well with NSW in the Sheffield Shield
"It's obviously very disappointing for Peter Siddle who's been a terrific bowler for a long period of time. He's not out of the loop, he's still around the team and hopefully he'll play another game soon."
Smith has also elevated himself to number four in the Test line-up, taking over from the injured Michael Clarke, with Shaun Marsh to slot into the XI at five.

I just made a Supercoach Scores group for 'The Streak'.

Competition: Supercoach Scores
Competition password: SCS

For those who don't know what The Streak is, it's a competition where you predict a player that's going to hit a six in each game. Get all 35 games right, you win $1 million. Sounds easy enough right?

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Would rather see Rogers dropped Watson open and Marsh at 3.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Star Sydney Thunder batsman Usman Khawaja has reportedly suffered a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that would rule him out for the remainder of the summer and beyond.

Mitch Marsh has also got soreness in his hamstring, and is off the ground currently up in Brisbane.

Michael Clarke's hamstring surgery went really well also.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Big news, Number 1 T20 bowler Samuel Badree has been ruled out of the tournament. Andrew Flintoff will be called on to play a bigger role in Brisbane Heat’s BBL|04 campaign. Badree is set to undergo surgery to his shoulder.
