Maybe. I'm not sure about that. They've handled Murali well, and while India were owned by him in the Test series, they've started playing him much better. I'd think the Aussie team could too.

Haven't seen many Australian one-dayers recently?

Ah one-dayers - I was thinking Tests. Yea, he'd do well I think, because both him and Murali can keep it tight. I really have no clue what was going on last game vs. Pakistan. They are better than that - they kept on getting bowled!

They were really good but now its going down hill for aussies in the spin department, facing and bowling it.

Different side (though, not vastly in complextion) and one of their best players of spin has retired. Afridi is no mystery bowler (been playing for over 12 years) but they couldn't pick his googly yesterday or counter the drift he got.

Where Paul Harris just recorded he's best test figures and enjoyed a rather fruitful home and away series, on wickets which hardly conducive to spin.

I don't know if Yusuf Pathan is even capable of scoring a century without a massive amount of luck. Were he to try to stick around and play a long innings, he probably wouldn't score any more runs, he'd just score them slower. If it were someone like Tendulkar, Ganguly or Badrinath I'd be completely in agreement with you. But i think in Pathan's case you're wanting him to be something he's not.

Pretty poor batting from Rajasthan i thought. Mendis aside the KKR bowling was nothing special. Somehow they've got an eminently defendable target though. Considering bowling is their stronger suit and KKR are chasing under lights, they've given themselves a chance. But given batting direness often rubs off on bowlers, I don't think they'll do it.
