*Official* Australia in India 2010

It's quite something that even though Sehwag has been absolutely imperious in the last year...he still sucks in 2nd innings - averages in the 20s.
There has to be something that places a Tendulkar or Ponting or Lara over Sehwag right...
In terms of averages, in terms of strike rate, he might overcome them but there has to be something... If he didnt have these weaknesses here and there..he would be on the same level as them.

We have chased this kind of total before for Sehwag gone for a duck in Sri Lanka....... Hope Sehwag scores a quick fire 50

India need to be a few down at stumps for any sort of chance. Ideally, one or more of the top five get sub-10 scores like the Australians did.

Bowl short and Australia lose the game. Johnson needs to hit a good length from ball one.
Johnson bowling short stuff to Sehwag wouldn't be too bad an idea. Would get him on the backfoot (albeit thats where hes strong at). Not saying Hilfenhaus should bowl short too though.

Hopefully Sehwag's out a couple of overs before Johnson gets his mits on the balls.

Gambhir gone. Definitely sounded like 2 noises to me.

Jeeeezzz. Huge inside edge, and it probably hit him outside the line. Laughable decision.

So true. Bowlers have been fantastic.

Especially when you consider the missed chances (drops, missed stumping, fielders not going for the catch, wickets off no balls).
Yepp..Thats what I have been saying all this time..even in the bowling vs batting topics.. People use Pakistan and say 'oh look their bowling is so great but they still suck..so batting is more important" and use India and say "look their bowling sucks but because of their awesome batting they are number 1" but here is the thing...India's bowling does not suck.. It delivers more often than not. Add that to their batting and that's what makes them the number 1 team in the world.

Terrible decision. Big inside edge, hit him outside the line and definitely would've gone on to miss off stump if he hadn't got bat on it anyway. Surely the very fact that it ended up hitting the pad should've been a hint to Billy that he hit it.

Cue Jono rant btw. Justified though.
