I think 4 down would def be advantage India. 5 down would be domination India.

Ponting needs to calm down TBH. Some very intemperate shots recently.Ponting looking really solid here. Husseys getting the runs, but thats mainly because of poor field settings, not sure what Dhoni is trying.
Bhajji better not be injured

Yeah, they've just started to get a bit too aggressive here. Kind of what India was doing after reaching 350 in the first innings in Mohali, and we all know how that turned out.
Singles are going good, but those forced boundaries are maybe a bit too risky at this stage, unless all they want to is push the field back

Well if that was the idea they've certainly succeeded.

Yeah, agreed. At least this way if he gets a good one he'll have made the runs his time at the crease should warrant. Got totally set on occupation last time.

Hussey keeps his average above 50 for at least one more innings

Gilchrist:
"The one team that is a long way ahead of any other team is India, and deservedly so, is the number one ranking Test side in the world."
Definately don't agree with Gilchrist's comments here. It would be easy to come to that conclusion based on tests played soley on the subcontinent, because the wickets there really favour teams with:
1. Strong batting line ups
2. Good spinners
I.e., the subcontinent is tailor made for Indian cricket. For India to really assert their dominance they need to first win an outside series in Aus, SA or Eng.
That being said, though, the same applies to Aus. Unfortunately, the best result we can hope for in this 'series' is only a draw.
