There is no swing but they must pitch it further up!

I think Ishant is making him play, which is what you want. I think if the field placing was better and you were inviting the drive, then you could pitch it up. I am not sure why Kumble only has two slips. It doesn't make sense to me.

It does when the wicket is slow as anything and there is evidence to suggest having four or more slips is the way to go...

A wicket here would be awesome.

 

[silentstriker]

And his a staff member. The inmates have taken over the asylum it would seem…

Wha....?

 

[silentstriker]

I have a good feeling about a wicket here.

 

[Vroomfondel]

i don't. nothing beaten the bat, nothing far from the middle of the bat.

 

[pup11]

Shot Haydos......

 

[kingkallis]

Why spin from both ends? Keep Zak or Ishant going from other end...

 

[silentstriker]

BIG turn for Mishra there. Can't believe Bowden is umpiring, we'll never get 20 wickets with his interpretation of the LBW law!

Yea, it was definitely not out. I'm saying in general.

In general he likes to be the centre of attention

 

[silentstriker]

Hmm, I said 56/0, they are 50/0. I suppose I had to be right once, just by pure chance.

 

[pup11]

50 for no loss and that is stumps, it was very important that no wickets were lost today and Haydos and Katich have made sure about that, but the real test for all the Aussie batsmen still lies ahead, from whatever little we saw of the Indian spinners they got plenty of spin and bounce, so its certainly is not going to be easy for the Aussies, especially considering the fact the pitch is also showing signs of crumbling.

Cricinfo closing statement:

Sayonara. Not to be confused with cyanide, which is, of course, goodbye in any language.

 

[Johnners]

Whilst, a couple of spells aside, the bowling was well short of international standard for nearly 2 full days, if Aus get bowled out cheaply on a wicket where the opposition has scored 600+ for 7 then a large number of players should be playing for their immediate international futures
