Despite 3 wickets and 31 runs, Ishant needs to be thrown out.

He definitely won't be dropped, only injury will keep him out.

I am with you, I know he'll come with something crap in next match but he won't be dropped surely after this match. Only injury can keep him out of next match.

He is injured and bowls crap. That should count.

I just saw the ball that Johnson bowled to Ojha and which hasn't given LBW. I can understand now why Australian fans are angry at him. That ball was taking the middle stump out if Ojha didn't put his leg there.

I don't understand why nobody was backing up that attempt for the run out, which resulted in four overthrows. Especially since only 6 runs were needed.

Being crap seems fine for our Aussie selectors see North

 

[Cricketman]

India! Laxman! Ojha! Ishant! Can't believe we pulled it off!

Amazing amazing amazing!!!

No doubt North will get a fifty in the next match and be safe for the Ashes

ROFL. Umpire was fairly equal for both sides....... in bad decisions

lets be fair though, sharma was given out to a ball that was really quite obviously going down leg (hit him barely inside leg stump, the ball was moving across him from the right hander) just a couple of overs earlier. they shouldn't have even been 9 down at that point. the LBWs though were generally rubbish, harbhajan had a couple of good shouts turned down and then got awarded one that pitched a mile outside leg. Gambhir was given out LBW to an inside edge. it was rather poor umpiring en masse.

I can't understand why australia had so little faith in hauritz though. Sharma was hardly going to cream any long hops for 4 in that situation, he can surely turn the ball more than north which would have made the batsmen nervous.

Yipppee!India Won the match


:hpraise V.V.S.Laxman - Tussi Great Ho!:hpraise

Tragedy for Australia, they really bowled wonderfully well especially Hilfenhaus although Gambhir dismissal was a SHOCKER. Laxman was pretty special once again, scored his runs very very quickly indeed.

What I saw was that Hauritz was too much outside off in the match and North was bowling close to batsman just like Andrew Symonds used to do.

Why not bowl Clarke for 5-6 overs?
