Siddle has had his share of luck but even as a tail-ender his application and approach has been far better than many of our recognised batsmen.

Ugh we always get screwed over by the tail.

Australia in the driver's seat, they have full control.
Need quality bowlers to stop that happening, yours are just, meh.

Need to see how the Aussies bowl yet, an attack with Siddle and Hilfenhaus in it is never the most potent. Big pressure on the kid to perform here.

Not Terrible
Cowan didn't play a false stroke and there were good spells from Sharma, Zaheer and Ashwin. Ponting played well too.
Cowan played well but his style of batting really needs some grenades being bowled at him to give you a real sense of watching "great" batting.

Looking at the score Australia possibly marginally ahead given the parlous state when the sixth peg went down. Alternatively you could say at 3/200 odd we were on target for 400, notwithstanding the odd middle-order collapse.

India let the game drift a bit towards the end and their bowlers looked a bit fatigued,

Ishant perhaps didn't get just reward for his toil but Yadav had a reasonable day at the office.

Shaping up to be an interesting test.

Aus needs 450 imo. Personally don't think Aus has the bowling to take 20 Indian wickets Harris, Pattinson, Cummins- Yes but it looks we might not see them bowling together this summer. Hilfy will get murdered by Sehwag.
