I don't get why people expect perfection from every cricketer. Every player is bound to make big mistakes sooner or later. Today Huss and Phil just showed the human element in their games

BARNES OUT
Dravid yeah, but I've seen Laxman throw an innings or two away in my time.

Just like every batsman though.

Apart from the batting collapse, was a good session for India. Need to get Ponting or Clarke early after lunch. The quicker they bring in Symonds, the better. India in the 40 degree heat must be pumped up now.
As probably the only one who tipped India to do reasonably well at the WACA, I'm happy that they've lived up to my expectations.

Big innings from Clarke, Ponting and Symonds is required for us to post a decent total.

You don't count Turbinator. You think India will do well, even when they're 9/140 chasing 500

Yep - they're really missing Hayden today.
Anyway just watch Australia get to 350+ anyway. Australia aren't out till they've lost their last wicket, and India aren't in until they've taken every single wicket. How many times have we watched India steal a defeat from the jaws of victory, and Australia do the opposite? One has to observe not just the state of affairs, but also the general tendencies.

Not really. Can you name me one player who thrives when the ball is swinging all over the place?

I'm actually hoping Gilly doesn't bat today, supporting my previous statement.

Everything you say is right, and I have the exact same views. But its how you say it, the condescending tone, the fact that you even refuse to praise India whenever they do well.
I still think Australia will pass our total, and in Sydney when Symonds and Hogg were going I knew they'd get 350+ (didn't think they'd get over 450 though, thanks third umpire). So its not like everyone thinks India will do well all the time, we're not all Turbinator

A 40+ degree day isn't exactly swing-friendly and they're struggling with the swing....
Fact is, Australia have traditionally struggled a bit more than other teams when the ball is swinging and it's a simple matter of, being a hot country and all, not having a huge amount of experience against quality swing bowling. Most Aussie domestic bowlers are seam-up pacers.
