The rain certainly isn't helping. Superb century from Hayden.

Will you be proud of them even if India lose? That way, they don't end the winning streak either. And how about Jaffer, Yuvraj and Dhoni, are you proud of them?

We were the worst just a few years back, but I agree no room for it these days

That why I said almost every player. And no India won't lose. Come talk to me if and when they do.

Don't call for a contest, and how pathetic it is that no team is competing with Australia, and then just accept an unbalanced amount of poor decisions.
Its ruining a good game of test cricket. And other than the bias claims (which are silly), I see nothing wrong with people venting about it.

You have a team of 11 players. A few of the players wont perform. Every player cannot perform. About Dhoni, I am at least proud of his keeping. The team as a whole has kept fighting and that is enough to be proud out. Note Turbinator said almost every player, not every player.

I'd say the umpiring has actually helped forge a good game of cricket. If not for the umpiring Australia would've been out for 200, India would've got 500 and Australia would've been struggling not to get beaten by an innings. How would that be a good game of cricket?

When was the last time Australia lost? (hypothetical question btw)

Haha, that's just dire reasoning.

I would have liked to see Hussey walk there, to save what's left of the integrity of the match. I mean put the ethics of walking aside for a second, the match has become a farce and an opportunity to give it any sort of meaning should have been taken.
Anyways, Hayden is brilliant. Very nice stuff from his as usual. Of course you could detract from the knock in various ways, but it's been hard earned and well deserved. Champion batsman.
Lol at Ponting. Definitely Harbi's bunny which is more amusing than anything. The way Ponting is dominated by him is comical to say the least. Is it a technical thing? Or is it coincidence or just mental?
Anyways, as Matt said it's been a really good match where the expected outcome has constantly changed and even though a draw has been predicted since yesterday, there's always been the chance of a result for either side which has left it really interesting.
Another thing, I thought we bowled pretty well yesterday and India today, just the players really haven't had much help from the pitch and have been largely unlucky.

Lol, ridiculous.
Firstly, Australia out for 200 immediately makes a test match more interesting, simply because its Australia. Add that they were 1-0 up, it makes the match a cracker similar to how the WACA test last year vs. England was set up.

It's true though. The reason this match is so competitive is because of the poor decisions. If not for them, India would've romped over us, and how would that be an enthralling cricketing contest?

So it didn't ruin the match but the series then?
