Agree with the former, not sure about the latter. They just didn't have the warm up games necessary to even compete. You can't embark on an away tour against one of the greatest dynasties in the game's history and expect to be competitive without solid experience in the conditions.
I don't think they were that far away in this game, very unlucky in the first session on day 1 when the opening bowlers beat the bat a number of times. If you take that first session out from day 1 there has not been that much between the teams
yea i agree
Okay buddy, pull your pants up, it's not even over yet.
Haha yeah, doesn't matter how many we make, I won't feel confident.The prospect of India chasing a target of 500 in the 4th innings against Australia is mouth watering
Doesn't matter how many you make, I'll still feel confident.
sadly it is...as far as this test goes...
Doubt it.
No, it's not.
and this is based on what? unbounded optimism in the first case and unbounded pessimism in the second?
You are optimistic. Kumble needs to get a bag this afternoon for India to have any shot of winning and even than it's still going to abe a battle with the form of the batsman.
I'm saying India are still playing the match f00l. Anything can happen, we're only halfway through the match. Stop being so down and enjoy the freaking contest.and this is based on what? unbounded optimism in the first case and unbounded pessimism in the second?
