Good point you make. Still I wonder what he could have done in the 2nd test after the success Mishra had. He certainly would have been a lot more threatening. Would have been a handful on this wicket as well.

Amit Mishra had success in the 2nd Test, I see no reason why McGain wouldn't have either had he played.

Two reasons. The first is that the Indians are far better players of spin in India than the Australians. And the second is that Amit Mishra is probably a far better spin bowler than McGain.
Looks like Ponting wasn't watching Katich bowl yesterday. No signs of Katich coming onto the attack.

Ponting himself in attack... The wicket his main bowler aren't achieving, how he can ?
.. Excellent innings mixed with both caution and aggresion. Sure signs of him maturing as a test mtch player.
Your wish has been granted.
Katich on, Gambhir out. Great knock from the young bloke.

I've put it on mute. Can't take anymore of Gavaskar.
Congratulations to Gambhir by the way.

He is speaking a point. White players get away many times even though they provoke or they do the same crimes, but the subcontinent players cope more for the smallest of errors.The wickets are coming too late, I feel for the Aussies. Anyways, awesome double ton from Gambhir. Unlucky for Ganguly, but still we have a big enough score on hand. Hope Dhoni, Laxman and the rest play out this session and bat a few overs in the 3rd session.

India losing it now

Congrats to Watson hes bowled well this session by keeping a good line and length. Was taken to a bit early in the over but came back well. I really hope the selectors look at how Watson and Clark have bowled to see what they need. For mind Johnson has to go, even though he got Tendulkar with a good ball hes just too wayward and for test match cricket you just can't have that wayward bowler releasing the pressure. It's not like Johnson is getting 5 wickets an inns to make up for his runs he leaks like say Tait might do. Also great to see Ponting keeping the faith in Katich even after he took a hammering, this partnership between Katich and Watson is looking good.
