A draw looks pretty certain now. Even if one of these guys get out there's the in form Harbajhan to come in.

I thought it was inconclusive but considering the very generous benefit of the doubt Roy got in the first innings he should've been not out. Ah well....The ball was clearly grounded. Only the most extreme sort of bias would prevent a person from agreeing, and looking at this forum, it's apparently in abundant supply.

I have just been reading some of this thread
It's only a game of cricket, a very good one, I might add
I know this may not cheer up the Indian supporters, but one good thing that I think will come out of this game, is more use of technology, I am 99% sure we will have something "new" added by next summer

Yeah. According to me, Australia will play 4 pacers (with Tait coming in) in Perth.

I think its wrong to say George bowled badly, i just don't think Ponting has shown enough confidence in him to use him well, but definitely Hoggy has bowled well and btw when was the last time an Australian wrist spinner to did well against India!
Agree with Princey Johnson's surely bowling to save his spot in this spell, so lets hope he can pull something special out of the bag.

Haha. Why would I get upset over a match involving two teams, neither of which I support?
Worst bloke.

Reading this thread - I am ashamed to be an Indian supporter. Most long standing members have been civil and mature about this, so that's good. It's possible to be unlucky....there is no grand conspiracy by the umpires to keep India from dominating the world of cricket guys.
Umpiring has been shocking though - if ICC don't pull their head out of the sand and do something about umpiring after this, they never will. The fact that they would allow a perfectly good Test series deteriorate because of easily preventable errors is completely beyond me.

If Kumble and Dhoni manage to play out time we may still get a great end to this test match 
Dhoni fighting hard along with the battle scarred skipper. Another 7 deliveries and Kumble would have fended off more deliveries in this one innings than Yuvi has done in all four so far. This was a fabulous time for Yuvraj to show his mettle in a tight scrap for survival which is what top test players do well besides winning when the chance comes. Sad that he didn't.

What did bring a smile to my dial was hearing that we get to see more Super Stevie in the third Test.

Yeah, thats a fair comment I suppose.The ball was clearly grounded. Only the most extreme sort of bias would prevent a person from agreeing, and looking at this forum, it's apparently in abundant supply.
I thought only the Indian fans can't be objective, but apparently the Australian fans are about the same (though a lot less emotional and abusive). No way in hell can you not see Clarke putting the ball straight on the grass when he's trying to get up.
I've lost all respect for Clarke, after he stood around after getting out and then this matter. This is the future captain of Australia?
Not that I have ever though much of Clarke (although he is a fine bat) as future captain of Australia. I dont blame him for taking the catch though - you take what you can get away with at this level, which is where good umpiring comes in. However, that said, there is no need to go on and on about fair play, its the hypocrisy that is really galling. And yes, Clarke's theatrics on his dismissal yesterday do indeed leave a sour taste in the mouth when coupled with this dodgy catch.
As to the posters, yes. IMO a certain number of Australian posters here are just as biased as a number of Indian posters, they merely do not get as worked up about the whole issue which is then reflected in their posts. This permits a veneer of moderation and reasonableness on the part of many of them. But if you look hard enough, you see it for the lie that it is.

Interesting point raised by the commentators on Channel 9. The catch early on in Dhoni's innings, the ball clearly hits the ground...is it out? I still think its a catch, but don't think anyone could have seen hit Dhoni's glove without the replays. Even then it's still not conclusive.

Matthew Sinclair did the same thing today, and the batsman (Habibul Bashar) was given it. Such poor umpiring.Love Punter claiming the catch when the ball touches the ground.
