If the ball starts to reverse then i can't see them going for the new ball as there is not much conventional swing on offer and scoring too has become harder for the Aussie batsmen as the ball got older and softer, so they might delay taking the new ball imo.
Good call, but they'll need to either take it first thing tomorrow morning or throw it to the spinners.
Haha, well he can call it a longish tail, but most teams around the world would to love to have that sort of a longish tail imo.
He's really been bad every time I've seen him this series. Doesn't seem to know what he's talking about at all.
Showing his understanding of the game.
How gutted would Badri be if a batting slot opens up, him being the only specialist backup and they go and draft someone else in?
Absolutely. I'm a big Badrinath supporter as you probably know, so I would love it if he got his spot in the team.
Its Zaheer who is pretty much wasting it but Sharma has been on the button most of the times.
They're leaving everything. If anything, India is wasting it.
The Pnottath/Precambrian effect in action.
Bit hard when barely anyone puts a fielder in there.
Mark Waugh?
When and where?
But if you think about the shots that go in that region, very few are catchable. The keeper has any slight deflection covered, while the fielder is blind to anything else because of the batsman's body. If you were going to put in three leg slips to cover the whole area - which is totally impractical - then you might have a chance at a wicket, but one man has virtually no chance.
