Mongia gone! Great bowling from Watto lately, shown great improvement.

 

[Dravid]

Mongia out. **** I just thought in my mind that Moniga is starting to do good and he gets out!

boy u were quick, lol

Nice stuff from Watson. Pity about the missed run out of Sehwag.

Great entertainment today - McGrath and Sehwag back close to their best, Watson continues to impress

But Stevie Bucknor, are you blind? The ball from Bracken to Sehwag would've hit half way up middle!

I reckon that was out, too. In Bucknor's defence, it probably pitched just on leg stump, and he might have thought it pitched outside.

India has been pretty lucky over all apart from being very patchy. Some of the aggressive shots they played early in the inning were very suicidal. 100/2 hardly tells the story of disciplined Aussie bowling (apart from straying down the leg on some balls which is normal in so many overs).

Nnanden informs:

please inform CW that "upon viewing the decision by Stephen Bucknor for that appeal by one Nathan Bracken, Mr. Nathan Patrick left his residence immediately, boarding a plane to Mohali, in pursuit of one Stephen Bucknor"

Good batting by Dravid(Not me) two consecutive 4s

Lee doing a bit of a Harmison here

Not looking good for Australia here. Given that the pitch is meant to be a good bowling one, and the whole 'dew factor,' we really need to get them out for a low score, and I daresay 2/123 after 27 overs wasn't what Australia was hoping for.

What the hell is Sehwag thinking with that shot?

 

[Dravid]

Damn! Sehwag out

 

[pasag]

Sehwag gone, nice bowl from Johnson.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I assume Yuvraj Singh is injured, is he not?

Great delivery from Johnson - swinging at close to 90mph and a leftie is quality

Sehwag chanced his arm and hit some great shots but was really tied down once they bowled at the stumps

Big period now

3 down now - Sehwag plumb to Johnson. So far the pitch has been described as a good one though, and the dew factor ought to affect them more than us.

Not too worried at this point - if India go on and make 270, 280+ I might be pretty concerned, but there's plenty of time here for a collapse.

Yes, he is injured.

Theres plenty of time and wicket for them to get there too.
