R.I.P Hughesy

[Mailman the 2nd]

I mean bouncers were bowled regularly for how knows long since the last death (which I assume probably happened when helmets weren't used) so I'd be disappointed if they do give it up.

Johnson terrified (legally) the Poms last summer, I hope he does the same against the Indians.

This is how Johnson operates. He is not the same bowler if you take the intimidation factor away.

the Indian XI bowled bouncers in their game today...so I guess they will be bowled.
brave move by India to openly bowl them

Correct move. Hughes was a tragedy no doubt, but it was also a freak accident, the only time we have on record of a bouncer killing someone The chances of it happening again are so so minuscule it was be overreacting, and also takes away an important weapon in a fast bowler's armory.

I'm glad the Indian's bowled them. Last thing we need is for batsmen to think that bouncers will not get bowled for a while and then the next bouncers hits the player in the head coz he's not expecting it.

agree, I just mean India are in trouble because Johnson will be thudding them in half way down like he did to England..whereas it was a touchy subject whether they would be bowled and in what frequency

[SydneyRox]

let india bowl first if we win the toss? they can take the focus away

[JBs-Hawks]

thats always the plan when playing in Adelaide anyway :P
