Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[Ponting_14]

It's going to be a draw now for sure. The Indians are going to survive this test.

As if Khali could even squeeze into the stadium.

Did you see the ball kick up (bowled by White to Sachin)? I thought he edged it.

Ya Khali wont fit into any seat and he probaly will sit on the pitch to ruin it more for us. Yep I thought he edged it even commentators thought that too but then Sachin asked the umpire that if he gave him runs. Anyway i am off to bed its 4am here need some sleep and I hope its a draw plus a century by the master.

Sachin didnt edge that. There was enough gap between bat and ball to sneak in another ball of the same size. Thank heavens that Hayden didnt catch it. Or else, it would have been 'Sydney revisited' (the umpire would've given it out since he gave 4 runs to Sachin's name).

Hope these two hang on till tea. I'm going to go to bed after that since it's 3.30am already.

The spinners look like they may take a wicket (or sound like it, at any stage). Ponting is probably buying time for his fast bowlers in the final session, though.

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

99% this is going to be a draw. India won't score at more than 4.6 an over and won't lose wickets either.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Bring Matty Hayden onto bowl.

He was bowling 135kph in the 2001 series.

 

[nikhil_99]

Is the pitch really not that good today?I mean batting is hard on last day?
Because Sachin was playing well earlier,playing his shots,but after Gambhir's wicket he has slowed down,that could be reason,but the question reamins,is it difficult to bat?Aus lack good spinners to exploit turn.

 

[mattfb]

Meh I cant see the Indians getting 150+ in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

 

[nikhil_99]

Due to tea break,Sachin's fans wait extends to see him get closer to Lara's record,also Sachin had not son good SL tour,so he will be getting 50 (hopefully he gets there) after quite some time.

Ya,the match seems to be a draw,unless Indians really go after the bowling,possible we might see Lee after tea! who knows..

 

[SaiSrini]

Well done to Sachin for surviving the 2nd session and keeping India's hopes of saving the game alive going into the final session. Laxman gave him good company, and both have been very positive against the spinners and have kept the strike rotating as much possible.

If Sachin and Laxman can lead us through to a draw, it will be a big boost to their respective confidence going in the next few tests. Especially Sachin Tendulkar whose form has the potential to have an impact on the series.

 

[angryangy]

Very good session for India, they gave some decent chances, but overall I think Australia has slunk away from the contest more than Tendulkar and Laxman. They might well come back for the final session with a new plan, because the pacemen have been used sparingly. It's almost been a case of using too many options rather than sticking with the ones that worked earlier.

 

[shravi]

Tendulkar out for 49. I reckon bad light may mean that a draw will take place earlier than anticipated.

 

[mattfb]

Whitey! Massive loss of concentration by Sachin and he and the fans have every right to be very disapointed.

 

[angryangy]

Whoa. Out for 49, 15 runs off the record, just a sloppy drive and it's White's first Test wicket. That's about as anticlimactic an event as you could imagine, but I guess it means there's some slight chance of a result.

 

[KBC]

Really, sachin lost his concentration because of that light matter. But, well, Cameron white got tears when he got his first wicket, and that too of SACHIN TENDULKAR!!

Match draw, i bet on it.
