India, Day 2 - and then there was Mitchy

The batting was slow
Watson did finally go
And then there was Mitchy

71 runs in one session
snails could give us a speeding lesson
And then there was Mitchy

Paine seriously kicked arse,
showed us all he has some class
And then there was Mitchy

Gambhir tried to get settled,
Sehwag showed us his mettle,
And then there was Mitchy.

He can bat, he can bowl
(although mothers take their toll)
Ladies and Gentleman, that's our Mitchy

Australia finished their innings with 428 and India ended the day on 110/2. Both wickets were taken by our tattooed one.

What do you think about your Lord? would he keep bowling full-tosses lol.

I think the shirt off picture taking has worked Sid. Maybe Hauritz should have tried it. Like Mitch, he may have had some wickets by now.

Lou said...

He's just teasin'. He'll be back bowling wide pies and getting out for stuff all again soon.

But it's so, so good when he plays like that.

We can't expect much from Ritzy on this tour.

Mind you, Johnson has already outplayed anything I expected from him.

I agree with Lou, this was always going to be a tough tour for My Lord. These Indian batsmen can play spin and the pitch ain't exactly helping here.

I console myself that even Shane Warne never had much luck in India.

Stani, if Mitchy can save us with his batting and bowling he can take his shirt whenever he pleases. I won't mock.

OK, so I'm logged in as my son but I'm sure you can tell it's Sid.

Sorry about that. I'll let him get on with his homework now.

Stani Army said...

I bet you won't! Was that a confession Thomas? ;)

Stani Army said...

I'm telling mummy Thomas!

Lou said...

Can you dig the tatooed torso getting a fivefor in India on a really unfriendly pitch?

Onya, Mitchy.

Sehway, Ghambir, Dhoni and Raina.

Nice.

He did go back to the homework, he did good.

And so did Mitchy. I'm definitely down with the tattoed torso now.

Pleased My Lord managed a couple as well.

Stani Army said...

I wasnt talking about the homework Sid :)

I was talking about perving on a half naked man....little did I now it was you and not Thomas!

Send Thomas my apologies. Parents are just embarrassing.

Maybe I was secretly getting an eyeful of Mitchy but didn't want you to know about it, so hid behind Tom to do it.

Or worse - I was getting an eyeful of Twatto!!
