Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

It did somehow, or it did a lot but Sehwag must be given credit for that ball as well. He didnt try to turn it, it was a pretty quick delivery and Hayden had no clue

Australia would want to attack now as the fields are more attacking but that might help India get more wickets in the bag.

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

Kinda of paid off then, his batting is a joy to watch and hes been consistent. Wonder what he would have been if he trained as an all rounder.

Yes, Sehwag gets the most credit. But Dhoni gets enough credit in there

Ok ok Dhoni is the best

Sehwag must bowl shorter and quicker instead of putting more flight in the ball.

Somehow we gotta change our captain to Clarke but still keeping Ponting in the side. Hmmmm.

Simple, just give the captaincy to Clarke.

He'd probably be lounging around the dark domestic leagues with Irfan Pathan. Too many people have tried to replace Kapil Dev with an unsuitable candidate.

Update: Kumble has been taken to the hospital for treatment. The bleeding on the little finger of the left hand had stopped, but it was a little stiff.
There is a half an inch cut on the finger.

Is this the end of his career?

Problem with dropping a captain lies with how they perform after losing it and how strongly the team feel about him. Could be some rift in the team as well.

Sad, but I do hope his career's end comes soon. I mean, his bowling form has dipped alarmingly and his captaincy is totally uninspiring (especially when we have Dhoni in the side, which makes matters worse).

Right now, the game from India is very positive. They are threatening quite a lot, with those close calls and other edges. Big change from when Kumble was leading in the middle

Its fun having the captain being very close to the stump mic.... The viewers can easily hear what he is doing, and what he talks to his team mates.

Good tips for some of our up and coming players then. A number of them are current batting all rounders so they might be forced to choose between batting or becoming more of a bowling all rounder.

Boy O Boy! The ball is starting to reverse swing here... That last ball before tea swung late and was confusing for Ponting..... Very encouraging signs!

After tea, bring back Zaheer Khan and bowl the seamers in tandem. This ball is reversing now and hope India can make good damage by tonight... Off to sleep.... Its 4:40am here

 

[punterpupnroy]

Well the aussies are really battling it out. We need someone to stand up and put on a ton. Get this match sort of within reach.

 

[aussie1st]

Geez we better start smashing that ball around as it is already reversing on us. Ponting is already struggling, not looking good for us after tea.

 

[Leggie]

Zak is on. Exactly what the doctor required.

 

[aussie1st]

The bunny looks like hes going to fall to his master very soon. Very close LBW appeal now Ponting nearly played on.
