People talk about how Gilchrist played counter attacking innings for Australia that stole the momentum from the opposition and that is a perfect example from Prior. Came in at 62-5 and scored 103 from 120 balls.

I think he'll get some leeway for being one specialist bowler down too.Not much though....

Superb innings from Prior, under pressure when he went in and explosive at the end. Can't ask for anything more than that.
Now the match really begins, we wait to see who opens and if Gambhir can actually bat properly anyway. 30 overs left today so India will be around 100 by the close, just depends how many wickets go down.

Yep. Dhoni did his bit too, but really did not have many options.

Like the first test almost every series.....
Though the injuries have compounded this time too.

Could ruin the whole tour too, the injuries to Gambhir and Zaheer may be a disaster with back to back tests.

Yeah, the injuries have made it worse. We would have still lost in all probability, but it wouldn't feel so helpless.

Wish ZAK was fit, wouldn't have to chase 500
Had them on the mat that innings but lacked the final blow.

Corrin to confirm that I called the Prior domination at the start of the day on BBM.

Maybe should have stayed out there another over or 2, setting India the highest score of the match to win would be even more demoralising.

Did my stream stutter or did Nasser Hussain say 'James Anderson - at his best in the last innings'?
