Honestly I doubt it would have made any difference. Even if Australia were batting right now and had to survive the day with no chance of winning, which would have taken a much better effort with the ball for India, a draw would still be the likely result.Terrible match for India. Barring a sensational collapse by the Indians, which look unlikely, this isgoing to be a draw. 3 catches dropped of a century maker. Dammit! Even a lead of 120 could have worked to India's advantage.
Yeah, Dravid will churn out the fastest 50 in Test cricket, and India to declare at 260-3 at lunh, leaving Aus to score 300 in 60 overs. Mishra to take a fifer then, and Aus crumble to 128 all out in 42.3 overs.Does anybody think there is a chance of a result tomorrow?
AWTA. Watched his 270 v Pakistan just then, he'll be insanely determined 2dayReckon Dravid may score today. Just a feeling.
Better than those other teams who can't rack up 600 against Australia, let alone beat them twice in one year!trust india to get into a position of potentially losing the match after racking up 600+ in the 1st innings..
But pessimistic for mine. India and Australia have both been beaten by the pitch. There's not going to be a result unless India declares or the Aussies bowl a sensational morning spell. Can't see either happening, India are only two down because one of the batsmen out bowled 40 overs in the last innings and the other was a nightwatchman whose pants turn poo-brown when he faces a ball not in his half. It's a great deck, Gambhir looks in fairly stunning touch and India have enough batting left to bat the day out easily.trust india to get into a position of potentially losing the match after racking up 600+ in the 1st innings...they need to be really careful in the morning session, i have a feeling michael clarke who has been freakishly successful against india with his part-time spin might be a factor tomorrow...
Yup, he is far from a finished article, but he is a batsmen with immense talent and from what i have seen of him he is a very quick learner, so one can expect him to have a really good solid international career.Gambhir has obviously been excellent this series but I've lost count of the number of times he's edged just short of the keeper and slips
It'll be interesting to see how he performs outside the subcontinent because there is definitely a weakness there
