Man, he's good. A real talent and a great package. Aesthetics and all.

Aye, the Snoozers may have a couple a decent players (Ryder and Taylor) to back Dan the Man up.

Did the pitch change between innings? Still looked a road when McCullum was splatting injuns to all parts....

two very poor shots. sehwag wanted to send danny's ball into orbit and gambhir wanted to finish the match off in style by hitting the winning runs. it still looks like a road, and hopefully stays so for at least 2 more days

steve waugh himself? probably

No, Waugh said Ishant reminded him of a young McGrath. It was Lilee who went gaga over Munaf.

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:42

To me, Ishant has more spingy action like Gillespie whereas Munaf is almost McGrath like in delivery action.

Don't know what Waughs on...

by Brass Monkey Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:44

Munaf = Michael Holding.

FACT.

by doremi Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:52

Waugh said it when we toured Aus, Munaf wasn't on the tour. Lilee talked about Munaf about 5 years or so ago, when he was in the MRF pace academy.

And losing our wickets to Vettori and Jeetan bloody Patel FFS. Disgrace.

Chappelli never coached India. It would have been interesting if he had ... he makes his brother look like a shrinking wallflower.

I think Chappelli's views on coaching are the same as Warne's.
