hope it rains all day tomorrow....other wise this thread will get locked post lunch session

Nah don't reckon it will mate.

Really need Johnson in particular to get through the first half hour today. Won't be easy, especially if he starts against spin. If he goes early, I can't se us putting on many more runs at all, and the emphasis will swing dramatically to occupying the crease.

If he and Hauritz can get through that period, we might be able to get up to a 250 lead, which I think will be a challenge for India day five. If that happens, India's approach will be very interesting. We know how Sehwag will play, but will they look to attack or simply play normally for a while and assess things at tea?

Should be a great finish to a quality series.

Someone like Sehwag or Sachin will today provide the latest demonstration that the adage about it only being bowlers who win matches is a load of cobblers.

 

[howardj]

Refer them to the Aus v Windies series in 1999

BCL.

These are tail-enders facing the swinging ball. Completely different from Watto blocking non-threating deliveries.

 

[Jayzamann]

At least they're... using their heads

 

[Spark]

mitch

no matter the delivery a batsman being bowled leaving will never not be amusing.

 

[Shri]

Fell out of my ****ing chair!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TumTum]

Hilarious how commentators are hyping up Sreesanth, he is facing 2 tail-enders ffs

 

[Shri]

Go SREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

[pasag]

God, hope the headlines at the end of the day aren't bull****ing on about India completing a "world record" chase.

 

[Shri]

George had no clue there! Proper tailenders ftw. Make bowlers look good.

You bet they will

Haureh better go for shots because, well, George is a McGrath-esque bunny.

 

[Bahnz]

Wow, I just checked out Peter George's batting stats. A potential spiritual successor to Chris Martin?

He'd have to get slightly worse to rival Martin. I've never seen a worse non-Martin bat in a First Class match though.

 

[pasag]

Really disappointed in Mitch's batting.

Cmon Haurrie!

 

[outbreak]

George to make a brilliant 50 off 25 balls.
