The pitch would appear to be deteriorating already.

we will see how he does on flat pitches with this kind of pace(130s).

Why on earth should he waste his energy bowling the fastest deliveries in a warm up? Still he has barely bowled below 137 apart from his slower deliveries and his fastest was over 146 today.

He should treat this like a test match and figure out things that he needs to do while bowling at top speed plus that would kind of help him in getting the tailenders out( i know you think pace isn't much of a factor in getting people out but there we will have to agree to disagree)

aussies getting whooped, well over 4 an over. good and bad for india. good for destroying a bit of morale, but bad as this might make them work harder on their game and prepare better for the tests

Just as Rohit and Kohli's hundreds might have made the likes of Ganguly and Dravid work a bit harder and prepare better for the tests.

one would think so. the selectors certainly have a case now for pushing in sharma

What happened to the live telecast? Will this rubbish transmission continue during tests? It is really very frustrating.

Back on now.

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 06:30

Pathan goes to Clark.

I hope Yuvraj doesn't declare now.

The longer the bowlers stay on field, the better. It is a long series.

Meanwhile Clark is generating good bounce with the new ball and claims Ojha too.

Why did Ponting delay taking the new ball?

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 06:51

Hayden and Katich are out there to open. Pathan and Gony to be smashed all over the park!!

Chandan, your positive outlook towards Indian cricket never ceases to amaze.

But it never happened before. Is it some kind of new phenomenon?

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 07:47

Wow Goni gets Hyaden but not given. Well bowled.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:02

Haha. Pathan gets Hayden but not given. tbf to the umpire, bat pad was close, and bat hit the pad to create a doubt in umpire's mind.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:02

Both were LBW appeals btw.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:10

Hayden gone caught behind by Parthiv off Pathan.

by Naeem Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:11

Jeeez, gone 4 times in 3 balls?

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:24

Why did they change the ball?

Ponting off the mark.

by Para Batsman Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:26

To give Johnson more reverse swing time.

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:30

Ball which is older than 90 overs hardly gives any swing since it becomes too soft by then.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 08:58

Ojha gets Katich for 15.

Aus 54/2

That was his plan though.

Nevertheless I'll cede to your local knowledge. Smile
