*Official* Australia in India 2010

[vcs]

There is no way that Ponting will declare with a lead of 250 with a whole day to go or even 75 overs.

Specially with the psychological impact of Sehwag opening for India.

Ponting might not declare but I was talking generally about India's chances of chasing a target. You never know whether Sehwag fires or not. Or gets out for 35(19) or something, which wouldn't make a big dent in the target.

North looking comfortable.

 

[Jono]

Anything over 240 and Australia become more likely to win the match, definitely.

 

[Cevno]

Bring Zaheer on Dhoni!!!

If India do collapse in the 4th innings, who do you think will be the chief destroyer for Aus?

 

[Daemon]

North looks horrible even in defense atm.. Is he always like that or is it just nerves?

 

[Cevno]

North looking comfortable.

What game are you watching?

Well to be honest, that would seem incredibly likely at this stage. That is only about 80 runs away.

Edit: Or perhaps less likely now that Hussey is gone lol...

Johnson, definitely.

Pessimistic IMO from the Indian fans to call 240+ difficult.

Hmm. That's no good.

 

[NasserFan207]

As a neutral I'm hoping for India to bowl Australia out with a target of about 270, having the whole of tommorow to chase it down. Would be pretty exciting imo.

 

[Daemon]

Husseys gone, not out though

 

[Jono]

I thought all of you blokes were saying Gould was a good umpire?

That's a woeful decision against Mike Hussey, and he didn't give Katich when he was plumb earlier today if I recall.

 

[Noble One]

Such a crucial moment in the careers of North and Hussey. Good cricket right now.

 

[NasserFan207]

What game are you watching?

Sarcasm.

He is, which is why this is a surprise.

Shows why the UDRS is such a necessity. Even good umpires make howlers.

And that is a howler.

 

[isaacnewton1]

Johnson, definitely.

I dunno, tough ask for him to get two 5-fors, or better, in a row.

 

[pasag]

Ridiculous.

 

[Jono]

Hussey rightfully pissed off.

 

[vcs]

Scandalous decision.

Looked like a "let's even them up" call in favour of Harbhajan.

 

[Cevno]

Gould is such a dodgy umpire.

Gave North not out the last Harbhajan over when it looked out ,and now has given a howler.
Also gave Katich not out earlier who was plumb.
