It's looked like this a lot throughout the day. The rub of the green really going Australia's way today, with edges falling just short or into no man's land.
Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

Game much more interesting after Kumble has gone in... Seriously, people might think that I have become so anti-Kumble, but I am telling the truth..
Who was that, sledging the Aussie batsmen? "Well bowled yaar well bowled... Will get tough with the new batsman coming in...." or something like that...
Edit: Dhoni's comment "Good that Ponting is trying to now play the balls out of the rough.....". I am enjoying Dhoni's captaincy

Dhoni reads the game pretty well. After a couple of balls that Ponting plodded away to the off-side Dhoni said, "Theek hai, khelne ke liye dekh raha hai" which means, "It's okay, he's looking to play a shot." And the very next ball Ponting tries to go down the ground to hit Mishra over the top.
Absolutely! Thats what I said in the above post. Dhoni looks to be a good thinker. I feel a wicket is anytime round the corner now

Turns out the corner was the drinks break.
Difference? Dhoni's attacking captaincy made Hayden think of batting a little more aggressively. Result? Wicket.
Funny thing is it was a part timer! Krejza could have been doing that, what could have been...
Haha a wicket falls under Dhoni's captaincy. This is very interesting, lets see how he goes in this match. For India I hope Kumble doesn't get back in the field very soon 
Though this wicket didnt have much to do with his captaincy. Good decision by Billy.

His captaincy played a good enough part in the wicket.
I expect few more here.. Come on MISHY!

It did. Immediately after Kumble left the field, we saw a couple of adjustments in the field. One obvious one was a second slip being added and another one was the deep square-leg fielder coming into the in-field. The batsmen felt more comfortable going over the top and obviously Haydos relaxed just a bit and now finds himself in the dressing room. However, the tempered aggression approach of Hayden is what is threatening to the Indians in the next 3 innings' of this series.
Mishra really getting it to turn right-to-left.

To be fair, Sehwag started out his cricket career as an off-spinner who could bat a bit.
