And with Piyush Chawla also giving tough competition, its about time Kumble retired.
 
Hayden needs to go back to NOT facing the first ball of the innings.

Out of his 30 Test Hundreds, 29 of them have come when he hasn't faced the first ball of the innings.

There must be a policy of 'The more experienced Test Player faces the first ball' because Langer always used to face and his always been about 15 Tests ahead of Hayden.
 
Clarke's looking good here, taking on the spinners. I still believe that he's one of the best players of spin in the world. Not afraid to use his feet, has a fantastic technique, and always looks classy. He's like a consistent version of Ian Bell, just not as stylish when at his best. Clarke's gotta be earmarked as the next Aussie Test Captain, he's improved so much from when he was dominated by the Reverse Swing English specialists in 2005. His record is now incredibly good.
 
I have a question.
Why are the Indian Seamers bowling Scrambled seam every once in a while?
Are they trying to rough up one side of the ball for reverse swing?
But if that's true, how can they be sure the ball will land on the side they want roughed up?
Something interesting is going on.
 
Wow, Mishra can really turn a ball. That's good work from Hussey just to play it.

They're sure it'll land on a side, rather than hitting the seam and not roughing up either side.
 
I think this is the main reason that teams like England aren't on par with Australia at the moment had England lost a few quick wickets at the begining then they would be 5 or 6 down by now.

And as Im typing Clarke gets out. Typical I praise someone and they fall flat on their face :rolleyes:
 
Oh ****, Michael Clarke falls again on the final over of the day. He's making a habit of that.

Brilliant bowling from Mishra. A fantastic googly.
 
That really was a brilliant ball. Its the first time I've seen him bowl and I am quite impressed. Looks alot better than how Kumble been going as of late.
 
fantastic googly there !! clarke had absolutely no answer to that.

Srrikanth has to do some thinking now LOL !!
