it was DADA who groomed players like yuvraj,kaif,zaheer,harbhajan etc....

Good stuff India, really should not lose from here. We had a job not to lose this match and we are doing that well whilst not eliminating the possibility of an Indian win (or an Australian win) entirely.

The match has turned the other way i mean the India's side

Probably a draw..

Bat shot selection by Clarke & Watson loved the wicket of Watson

one thing i have to say in this BG Series it's nothing is certain PROVED many a times,

 

[sohum]

One more thing. If this is the Indian attitude to cricket , they will NEVER take over OZ as the best team in the world. When we are dominating cricket we never settle for draws , or winning 1-0.We wouldve tried to absolutely smash the other team and try to win 2-0 or 3-0. But India are more than happy with 1-0 win from what I can see. India are just a team full of champion players and if this their attitude they will never be a champion team.

What should we do... take a shovel and dig up the pitch? There's only so much game you can extract out of a flat surface.

sohum added 3 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

On an another note, anyone else having trouble with the Sky Sports feed on WillowTV?

1st boundary since 23 overs.

I say it everytime he bats: this is your chance to cement the spot (Haddin). Knowing how fickle selectors are Ronchi might be drafted if you don't perform. He needs a triple figure and its his spot till the end of the Ashes next year.

Whats that song playing in the drinks break! I need it. Where it showing the scorecard!

Laxman drops a catch off Johnson's bat.

Nice to see my prediction about Australia's lower order coming true Watson and Haddin impress once more........Australia are lucky that White's alright with the bat, be screwed if he wasn't.

Ishant's bowling beautifully. The Speedo claims 130-135k's but because of the height he bowls from and the movement it looks alot faster. Krejza was ridiculously late on the delivery that got him out. For a few deliveries it looked like he was trying to bowl too fast, but he's back on it again, and looking a class act. Worried about seeing him running in against Cook and Strauss.

I hope Ronchi is ready because Haddin sure isn't, getting outshone by White comfortably with the bat again, which is interesting as both have the same FC average (40). That's not even mentioning Haddin's glovework.

 

[mattfb]

Ronchi wouldn't do much better...

 

[Themer]

White gone, missed most of todays play, am I right in presuming its been quite boring haaving read some of the comments earlier. If so Im glad I didn't get early to watch it.

 

[Inbox24]

This is gonna be a repeat of the first test with roles reversed.

 

[smssia0112]

Well it's not over for us, we got within 100 which is important, let's hope Lee and Johnson can get a 30 or 40 run partnership as unlikely as it is, and if we can bowl well we're in it with a chance. Krejza needs to take 8/100 instead of 200 though.

 

[King Pietersen]

All out. Mishra didn't look dangerous at all. He doesnt' seem the same bowler as he was in that first test. He looked like getting a wicket every ball in his first test. Was bowling the Googly with regularity, was flighting the ball more, getting far more turn, and bounce. Just doesn't look dangerous in this test.

1 over of Indian batting if the commentators are correct. Guessing it'll be bowled by Johnson.
