***Official Australia in India***

[Redbacks]

TBH i cant really remember an Australian bastman who I have enjoyed watching for pure stroke play since M.Waugh, we seem to be more proficient than breathtaking. Maybe Martyn actually

Love how Hussey moves himself around the ball, so that he can place it where he wants. Bowl over middle, and he'll get further across so that he can get it behind square for a single.

Spot on

 

[Craig]

Lee out.

So who has been the best Indian bowler? Zaheer or Sharma?

Today Sharma

Since Zaheer came back into the side he has been absolute quality. But seeing the amount of reverse out there worries me. Lee will be a massive challenge.

Brilliant player

Technically and temperamentally as good a player as you'll see

With Johnson gone now, Huss would probably change gears now.

Great bowling from Zaheer. Deserves that 5 for.

 

[duffer]

5fer for Zak. Lovely stuff. Brilliant brilliant knock from Hussey though. We're going to be under the pump to make these now.

I think he stalled..

Nobody is really talking about Johnson atm, but with his pace and round-armish action he could create a few problems for India too.

EDIT: Aussie innings comes to an end, but 430 is a very good 1st innings score on this sort of wicket, great knock from Huss and a 5-fer for Khan.

Was some way behind Sharma IMO

I reckon all four Aussie quicks could pose problems on this wicket.

 

[Craig]

Today Sharma

Overall though? Anyway Australia all out for 430 with Hussey getting 146. I bet howard has eaten his words about Hussey a long time ago!

 

[sanga1337]

Doesn't mean he didn't bowl well. Sharma was just outstanding today. They were both some way better then the spinners especially Kumble.

Watson to do his shoulder whilst rubbing the ball on his trousers

Damn... i have been such a jinxer for Australia right through this game, whenever i have said anything the total opposite has happened, need to really cautious for the remaining length of the game i guess....

Good result for Australia

Decent score and good opportunity to have 2 real cracks at India (tonight and tomorrow morning) with fresh bowlers

 

[pskov]

Great start from Lee, two perfect deliveries so far....... if a right hander was facing.

And a third and a fourth!
