Got star last match, and even today it started with Ian Chappel and Akram, then suddenly I start hearing Richie and Bill Lawry

It was a fairly short delivery, not unplayable by any means.

Haha, yeah it was weird. But it's good because I want to hear Tony Greig bashing India. Will be good entertainment for a while.

It's still baffling, I just don't see how Australia (who are about evens) are little more than twice as likely to win than India. Besides India are due at least half a dozen injuries in this game, given they had none last match.

First test they had a combo of Moody, Chappelli, Wasim, Shastri & Ganguly.

Not unplayable but a good ball all the same, lifted a bit and didn't move down leg as he might've been expecting. He makes a split-second misjudgment and the armchair heroes are all over him.

Not at all, there was so much wrong with that shot it's not funny, the angle of the bat, the fact it was the first over of the day, saying nothing of the fact his previous two dismissals were also to simlar short deliveries, which makes that short all the more dire.
Not overly critical at all.

On the Gambhir dismissal, it's a shot from a man that is out of touch, no surprise there. He's seen it as an early opportunity to just tuck it away into the gaps on the legside and get himself a couple of easy runs, but when you're out of form you're impatient and don't wait for the ball to be in absolutely the right area to play it there and so you do end up looking like Gambhir just did.

How do these morons get paid to talk about cricket? Dravid never had a rough patch where he could have been dropped from the team? Really? Ugh.....I miss the English feed

I'm pretty sure even in his rough patches 2 or 3 years ago his numbers are statistically ok because there would be the odd ton at home against rubbish opposition.How do these morons get paid to talk about cricket?

Ian or Greg Chappell? Surprised if Ian could work for both teams? Conflict of interest and all that...

What would be good would be the commentators picking out Dravid's movement, balance and backlift in spite of the fact that Hilfenhaus didn't let go of the ball in that little false-start there. That would make for interesting discussion of conditioning and timing... instead, we get "Dravid has never had a lean patch". Ho hum.

Agree & all because India have won once in 5 attempts at Sydney

The main critisism would be that he was pushing forward to a clearly short pitched delivery, which is awful technique for an supposedly international standard opener. Not to mention it's the third time in the series he's been dismissed by similar shortish bowling.
