great stat there....Aussies have done pertty well tooJust thought I'd do some investigation into the tail-wagging. Here are the runs made by both sides after the loss of the 6th wicket. It looks fairly even, but India's innings here pushes it in their favour.
MELBOURNE
India
1st – 74
2nd – 17
Australia
1st – 52
2nd – 63 (declared 7 down)
SYDNEY
India
1st – 202
2nd – 63
Australia
1st – 329
2nd – 8 (declared 7 down)
PERTH
India
1st – 46
2nd – 134
Australia

2nd – 113
ADELAIDE

Nah, 70+ imoJaques to get out swiping for under 20.
ppl forget with Warne and McGrath we also struggled against batting lineups at times on dead wicketsThe new Australia?
On the whole, our bowling hasn't been bad at all. We've bowled enough wicket taking balls for 15+ wickets on an absolute featherbed by now, but poor fielding has cost us. We don't have any major problems at the moment because Johnson, Lee and Clark are all bowling pretty well. We just need to work on our catching, which sounds obvious enough, but had we taken all our catches it'd be a very different story out there. Catching is something that can easily be fixed.
All out. World record for Gilchrist.
would love that, but cant see it happeningNah, pitch is flat, Aussies are hungry. 1st innings lead.
Exactly. We only took 6/550 against England last time around. Was that an indicator of the 'new Australia'? Give me a break. Some people are so reactionary.ppl forget with Warne and McGrath we also struggled against batting lineups at times on dead wickets
Yeah, as I said, Warne, McGrath, Clark and Lee were just as ineffective first innings last year. CA really need to start preparing pitches that play to our strengths and stop thinking about the gate earnings.ppl forget with Warne and McGrath we also struggled against batting lineups at times on dead wickets
Haha, nah. India are in a great position, but that's stretching it. If the best batting line up in the world can't crack 500 in two shots on a flat pitch, I'll be damned.India to win by an innings
Depends how he plays. If he grinds it out there's no telling how much he can score, if he tries to play Mr Aggression, then he won't last long.Nah, 70+ imo
Haha, yeah. Did not pick it myself. Thought that India would fold more or less quickly after SRT got out this morning. But Kumble and his bowlers had other ideas. Not that I am complaining mind. Few things I like better than the Australian bowlers going on a leather hunt. And Kumble seems to have batted exceptionally well.This is so frustrating, India play 5 bowlers and the tail wags! Their gamble pays of spectacularly and they haven't even gone out to bowl yet!
