Yeah Yadav looks impressive, glad the commentators pointed out his wrist action. Reminds me a bit of a West Indian fast bowler the way he comes in and uses the wrist - I can't think of which one it is - I think there's a bit of Ambrose, maybe Merv Dillon in there. It'll come to me
I think maybe 280 would make it a close match, anything over I'd probably bet on Australia, anything under would be hard to defend against India's strong batting lineup. Then again Sehwag's 2nd innings performances are generally poor, Gambhir and Laxman looked rusty. You never know what Dhoni's going to bring - the chinks in the lineup are there if Australia keeps bowling well.
And what's going on Australia - 3 inside edges back onto the stumps??? At least we got a bit of luck with Dravid being asleep at first slip, but it seems like the gods are with India a little more in this match thus far. Note I said a little, I know Ponting and Hussey could have been LBW yesterday...
.
chase of 260ish I reckon. I'd bring kohli up the order, a la pujara back in 2010. he can play the role of a 3 and it lets him come in and play his shots rather than having to stress about being the last man in before the tail should he be needed.
you'd far rather have laxman and the bowlers guiding the end of a tricky case than kohli.
I actually like this idea a lot
VVS Laxman failed another time in an away match today.His overseas record this year has been quite poor.
From 'Very Very Special' Laxman he has now become 'Very Very Stupid' Laxman!!!!!
Bit early to be calling him that I'd say. Look at his record after the series finishes.
Just checked up on Star Cricket. Where is Harsha Bhogle ? Jason de la Pena just ain't in the same league as him.
He was in the Channel Nine box at tea discussing some historical Aus-India Tests. I haven't had the chance to hear him yet, but I assume he's on ABC radio here in Australia - he's always liked working with the ABC so I'm guessing he locked that in rather than do the Star stuff.
