Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

I never liked Dhoni as a test captain. The only option left is Sehwag.

We could try out Laxman as we did it with Kumble. I reckon it will be a good move. :)
 
Great work lads. Coincidental that the 2 underbowled men of yesterday did the damage? (George and Watson)

Anyway, I'm hoping for a stumps score of around 2 or 3 for200, with some positive batting on the 5th morning to set India about 250-300 in 2 and a quarter sessions (declaring just before lunch). We can't die wondering here, lets make the Indians eyes light up at the target and see what happens when they lose a couple of quick wickets - like last game.
 
250-300 in 2.5 sessions will make India shut shop and bat out for the draw. But I am guessing its not that easy for Australia to get to such a target. The wicket is now helping the bowlers far better than before. Harbhajan, Ojha and Zaheer (with his reverse swing) will be the key.
 
Not bad at all by George, a tall bowler that can get reverse swing is going to be very useful. Just needs to maintain his pace in the high 130s and he could have himself a test career. Hauritz the tail remover, too bad he didn't do it last match.
 
So far, so good for Australia. India should get the spinners in soon and see what they can do. A target of 200+ is going to be very challenging.

WTF,dhoni is such a good test captain!:facepalm:sarcasm
 
Damn, just lost Watson. Another start without going on...Intresting to see how Ponting starts against the spin.
 
one feels not so much that there's more there for spin, but that the first hour after the roller was an important period.
 
Another Aussie collapse in on the cards :facepalm
Can any one predict what North will do in second innings.
 
Why does Cricinfo show only 5 balls bowled for the 18th over? And can anyone gimme a working stream link...
