The current projected score if they continue this way after 180 overs is..

9/232

Lol, I don't think they plan to though. They'll target Hogg and Symonds and obviously score quicker once they get set.

I won't give him away as he posts sometimes.

LOL you would hope so, although I think India would take 9/232.

I reckon Symonds will get an LBW or a catch to mid wicket.

 

[Pratters]

what the hell is Dravid doing? is he trying to draw the match or something.. i believe the only way a team can defeat aus when they play aggrassive cricket.. Dravid and india is doing the opposite of that..Lee, Clark, Johnson and even Hogg are dominating india by bowling one median after another..

Are you even watching the game or is it just your mandatory Dravid post?

I know there is no need to score quickly but the strike has to be rotated at least. Letting Symonds dictate too much where he wants to bowl it is not good enough really, it allows the pressure to soak through completely and the bowlers to be in total control.

 

[silentstriker]

Agreed. They certainly need to rotate the strike.

Yes, VVS does not look much between the wickets

 

[Raghav]

Nearly a catch there! Johnson would have got Dravid!

Dravid is no gazelle either.

True, although he does give the impression to at least be looking

Indians are always **** when it comes to rotating the strike, taking the singles and the doubles. On larger grounds like in Australia, it hurts them more as boundaries are not always that easy to come by.

 

[archie mac]

Good idea looking for the stumping, at least they seem to have a plan the Aussies

 

[Craig]

Missed chance there for mine.

Yes, foot in the air

 

[Pratters]

FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd wakes up.

 

[Matt79]

Is it just me or does Symonds look a more threatening bowler than Shane Watson at Test level?

Dravid's footwork seems so bad. You can tell he is very short on confidence.

Hahahaha. You must be watching another game. Dravid's footwork seemed dodgy in the first inning but it seems excellent today. And it is not just me saying this. Ian Chappell is making the exact same point on star cricket right now.

Yeah, I didn't think he would be much good at all, but his medium pace bowling is quite useful - in Australia at least. Watson's bowling has improved a lot since he last played test cricket though, it should be noted.
