*Official* Australia in India 2010

Pencil in Marcus North to take a career-best haul

Would be fair impressed if so.

Gut feel is that Katich should enjoy this.

Don't think Harbhajan will really come into calculation either. He'll bowl a lot and might take a few by virtue of that but the lack of bounce nullifies him a lot.

Same with Hauritz I fear. From what I saw he bowls best with some bounce in the deck.

They waiting for the pitch to harden up in the sun? Unusually circumspect.

 

[Murtini]

Zaheer doing the right things now, wicket to wicket hoping for a bit of swing or LBW/bowled.

I'd get one of the spinners on in the 6th over, I really would.

 

[Top_Cat]

LBW is India's best chance. Zak should keep targeting the pads.

Ordinarily I'd agree but unless a yorker, I reckon the bowlers will struggle to beat the bat. It looks a real pudding.

 

[four_or_six]

Tendulkar love already.

Will be interesting to see how the Aussies cope with Harbhajan.

 

[Contra]

LOL they should seriously try what Brad Hogg just said I swear.

 

[Burgey]

Ishant bowls two no balls in one over. News of the World expose to follow

 

[Murtini]

Woah, two back foot defence shots. Sharma looks the more likely to get a wicket so far, he's getting as much bounce as the wicket offers.

 

[Burgey]

Sharma doesn't seem anywhere near as upright in his action as a couple of years back.

Ooh shot!

 

[Spark]

More of that, please.

 

[Jayzamann]

Bit of a skewed on-drive, but runs are runs. 94 more to go, fancypants. Then choke back the tears

 

[Top_Cat]

Oh bugger, glorious drive undoes all of Sharma's good work there. Length only slightly off too.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Shot

 

[Jayzamann]

Kat asked to define class in the context of 'effortless'

And then fall over the line of the ball to get lbw. Bums.

 

[Contra]

Yes!!!!!!!! Lbw!!!!!!

 

[Sanz]

Yes.!!!!

 

[Murtini]

OUT - first instinct for me was out.

Pretty much plumb.

 

[Spark]

Oh well.

Yeah quite plumb that.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hmm. That's pluuumb.

Punter not to last the hour.
