AWTAMate, you've got such an 'Us vs Them' attitude it's not funny. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the game. I guarantee you'll feel much better. Bitterness never did anybody any good.

Can't work out whether you are being serious, or taking the piss.

I reported this post because your attitude and behaviour in this thread is souring it for everyone else. You seem completely and utterly unable to concentrate on the cricket, rather than the peripheral issues surrounding it.

Masterblaster said it well enough himself which you should listen to sideshowtim. Take it on board for the benefit of yourself and the forumMate, you've got such an 'Us vs Them' attitude it's not funny. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the game. I guarantee you'll feel much better. Bitterness never did anybody any good.

Man, that really was a peach from Ishant. Good to see.
It is really amazing that India were scoring at 3.8 vs Australia at 2.85 per over at ~ 70 overs, almost a run an over faster. In a test match, hadnt really expected that either!
(If the situation was reversed surely folks would've accused India of playing for the draw already).

Australia don't need a win to draw the series though. Plus, it'd be stupid of us to try and bat quickly this far behind India's total. We saw at Perth what happens when you try and do that. I'm happy with our position at the moment.

If Australia are actually going for a draw on day three of the match, I'd be astonished.

I would be happy with a 2-1 series win at this stage. This game was always going to be out of reach when Hayden was dismissed.

I don't think we're batting for a draw, I don't think we have any result in mind at the moment. I'm assuming we're batting for as long as we can and then assessing our position. It'd be stupid to play for a draw at 2 down in your first dig as most would acknowledge. The risk in trying to score at 4 an over is just too high though and increases India's chances of winning the match tenfold while increasing our chances of winning the match only a little bit.

I agree they aren't. I was just responding to the suggestion they might be. I don't think they would so early in the game.

Ponting's looking a little better now out there in the middle. Will be tougher for the Indian's to get him out now. Hussey always looks solid, so looks like a big partnership in the works here.

Ponting's shocking against the Indian side, especially in India where the pitches suit Harbhajan and co.
I would like to see him step up and make a big score.

Yeah, Ponting has never made a big score against India.
On the whole his average against them is something like 47. Hardly 'shocking'.
