India in Australia

[mattfb]

This partnership has gone to over 80 in 13 overs. A run rate over 6 an over.

Theres an excuse when Symo and Gilly are on

Hardly. Especially if it happened about a week and a half back.

it will be interesting to see what happens after tea. will the batsmen continue too pile on the runs or will the Indian bowlers get a few quickies.

I dont think they will come out with a plan. They will probably just play there natural game.

We need to have one of these two in the next 30 minutes or we'll be toast.

Both Roy and Gilly should get TON

Reducing this lead will be the only real thing on their minds. Even getting 100 off this total will be an achievement after their circumstance. Genuine pace bowling got them into this position. And don't think there's much to hang around with after one of these 2 get out. After Lee there's not much.

 

[punterpupnroy]

hopefully doubt it though. Gilchrist may get out trying to play to many big shots.

You do lead have a lead of 180 and I dont know how well our tail can wag on this fast track.

India has a history of letting teams off the hook. Perhaps any other team, I would have been slightly more optimistic.

we need to get the lead under 100 i reckon get 250

Really we dont need to think about the lead. Gilly and Symonds and the rest of the batters should go out there and just bat and not worry about the lead and hopefully we can knock off the difference.

Raufy gets one right!

These two need a century here to secure our position.

It seems like we only have two bowlers in this game which is a shame. Johnson is so flukey and gets tailenders to save his career. What a shame. I'd rather have had Johnson failed, then India scored maybe 350-400 so that he'd be dropped next game and we can bring in Hilfenhaus, Noffke or even Bracken would be better. Tait's been quite ineffective which is a shame. Hope he fires next innings.
