Australia in India

[sohum]

Dravid did exactly what I expected him to. Nudge around and then hole out.

Also shows what sublime touch Sachin was in. He was playing Hogg with such ease.

Thanks K. Australia have opened up a sizable gap going into the home stretch. In cricketing terms, the difference between runs needed and balls left is 51. India need 101 off 60 balls and have lost a bit of momentum in the last few overs during which the batting has been rather rudderless.

Its gonna be a tough task with now Dravid out! 4 wickets to Hogg, Australia should have this done.

 

[sohum]

A bit of spineless batting in the middle-order. However, we have no one but ourselves to blame. We may have gotten Ganguly's opening as an advantage but his complete lack of energy coupled with Dravid's caused us to lose the plot.

Michael Clarke into the attack now. Hit for 10 runs, 2 boundarys.

 

[sohum]

Two boundaries in the over but the required run rate still went up at the end of the over.

 

[mattfb]

Yeah its up around 12 and over but Dhoni still isn't lying down, six runs! Slower ball goes wrong for Binga.
13 off the over.

 

[sohum]

Yeah, but how many times can it be replicated? We need it to happen over after over and Bracken is a specialist at this time.

India needs 73 runs of the last six overs. I would this is too much for India.

 

[mattfb]

Yes good point, I think India are out of this game, its just to much to ask.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Game not over yet. :S

 

[sohum]

LS is obviously unaware of the match situation: "He's got 5 runs off the first two deliveries, he should just knock it around for singles."

 

[ZexyZahid]

17 runs of the last over. I'm glad they're making a match out of this.

56 from 30 needed now.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Listen to the chant around the ground.

India!!! Innnnndia!

Gap is 24. Gotta keep it above 15.

2 dot balls. Great bowling!

 

[sohum]

Great catching from Lee.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Er.... Gay.

5 good full balls then Bracken has to mess it up with a juicy full toss forfour last bnall.
