Hilfeh!! Be talking about that one for years.

Australia's tail looks really capable of hanging in in Test cricket. That could be a vital factor in this series.

 

[Spark]

Wooooow.

Dhoni is having a mare.

 

[Top_Cat]

Won't know for sure until the Indians bat but I do suspect a strong reply is likely. The pitch looks very, very flat.

 

[vcs]

Our ****ing catching....

Dhoni should have gone for it. Always the keeper's responsibility. Horrible match he's having.

 

[Top_Cat]

haha it was yours!!

To be fair, was tough to know exactly who should have gone.

 

[Xuhaib]

c'mon get lost now want to see Sehwag bat as I won't be able to watch anything tomorrow.

As always a lot depends on Sehwag. He can score quickly and do it effortlessly even on this slowish surface. Gambhir isn't in form. Dravid prefers the ball to come on to the bat, so does Laxman mostly. Tendulkar usually adapts but he's not going to take the game away in a session or two. He'll probably grind out atleast 50 but that's not going to be enough by itself unless we build partnerships all the way.

Backing Raina to do decently.

Hilfenhaus' batting's improved in the last 6 months, doesn't look like a total bunny anymore

Yeah he worked on his batting a lot when he was injured and couldn't bowl. Franklin syndrome, except he didn't forget how to bowl when he came back.

 

[Spark]

Aw

Fantastic innings nonetheless. The difference between a healthy total and a woeful one.

Top catch VVS, well played Paine. Zaheer has more than deserved his five.

This pitch should really suit Raina. Laxman to get bowled for < 10.

Is this most Tassies aussies has ever fielded in a test match?

 

[Zinzan]

Was hoping the young lad would get to 3 figures

 

[irottev]

lol yeah, India finally take a catch. Zaheer with 5. Such a good bowler.

Dhoni has had a shocker. Lucky he's a good enough batsman to make up for his keeping short-comings.

Sharma needs to stop bowling no-balls.

India just aren't doing the basics right, well aside from Zaheer and Harby

 

[Evermind]

Finally.

Jesus, India are so ****. Can't catch, can't bowl. Ground fielding is halfway decent, no Shoaib-style howlers at least.

 

[Top_Cat]

Good reward for some really top bowling by Zaheer there. Was a good ball that got Paine too, had to play, good seam movement.

Yeah it could happen but VVS did well on a slow wicket at the PSS especially in the last innings so I hope that continues.
