Ponting and Clarke do something for once.

Hussey promoted to steady the ship. Must be a different pitch.

by Nath Fri 03 Oct 2008, 09:08

I predict a sub 250 1st inngs score from Australia.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 09:31

Ponting getting into some form.

BP XI needs to get another wkt now to put Aussies under some pressure in the final session.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 09:38

Ponting clean bowled by Chawla's googly.

Very Happy

Aus 94/3

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 09:45

Wow!! The same Chawla who was litrally murdered by by Pakistanis and Lankans bowls Ponting!

don't get too carrried away - Ponting's innings of 41 pretty much double the amount of FC runs he has scored in India in the last decade.

by Bradman Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:21

You beat me to it. I don't expect much from Ponting this series. And that ain't even a reverse whoof.

by Nath Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:32

Is it just my imagination or do the stumps seem to cartwheel out of the ground (when batsmen are clean bowled) easier in India? Even the spinners can knock the middle stump out of the ground, FFS!

by taipan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:34

A lot of grounds these days water around the stumps to produce that effect.

by Bradman Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:38

Nath it's been a subi thing for about forty years. They put water in the stumpholes so they cartwheel. Adds to spectator enjoyment, especially important when you don't have fast bowlers capable of doing it themselves.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:46

Good to see Pathan bowling well after a long time.

And Chawla gets Clarke LBW.

Aus 128/4

I guess there's no law against it... shrug

Haddin opens his account with an excellent shot.

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 11:01

Chawla is still quite inconsistent in bowling. I don't like it when he drops the ball short just give a free boundary to the batsmen.

Maybe Clarke should have been a real Captain and catered to Symonds ego. All super players have insecurities and Symonds petulance should have been taken into account. Read Roy's book and you will get my drift.

The gone fishin' episode split the team in half. Sorry Michael you cost us bigtime.

Cricinfo will want to provide better service during the Tests than they are during this match. Scores keep going backwards and then updating properly.

It does that only to Aussies.

by philcric Fri 03 Oct 2008, 11:26

17 overs left for the day.

BP XI should be looking for atleast 1 more wicket.

by Para Batsman Fri 03 Oct 2008, 12:14

Haddin is due to be caught at long off any minute now and I dont have video.. If he can adjust he just could be our Messiah, but who is going to slip him a Valium.

by Chandan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 12:16

Very good going by Haddin and Hussey. Hussey on 54 and Haddin on 34 have taken Australia to 194/4.

Is that "literally literally" or "metaphorically literally"? If it is the former, Chawla must be a bit whiffy by now.

Haddin saw off the dat successfully.

Yes reverse woofing worked for once.

Sad effort by Clarke who has NOT been anywhere near consistent for yonks.

by taipan Fri 03 Oct 2008, 14:35

Aussie tail looks pretty long with Haddin at 6 and Lee at 7.
