None.

Warney will get 6.
McGrath 2
Gillespie 1
Run Out 1
Where is Kasper in this? you think he will get 0 wickets as well.
Lehmann place would certainly be in jeapardy if he doesnt get any wickets, to go with his poor form with the bat.

I think it's Sehwag and Dravid who are the most crucial, especially Dravid. Almost everytime Dravid fails, they're not able to post a huge score. He's the glue and if he can get a half-century, India will probably win. Some good hitting from Sehwag would be entertaining too 8-)

India have probably been touching up the ball in this game judging by the way the game changes so dramatically. Maybe one of the Indian players has been altering the condition of the ball. Its a shame a team has to cheat to compete with Australia.
Good try. Can you come up with something more inflamatory and inane.

Staying Kool - that's me :) This is what Test Cricket is all about. No matter who loses or wins. I still miss the frontal assault and attack of the Aussies of Steve Waugh :blink:

In some sense it would be a pity if either's Kumble's excellence or Martyn's masterpiece goes unrewarded. Here is an excerpt in the Indian Press on Martyn's inings:

Martyn played a real renaissance innings
....Australia's amazing fightback, and Martyn's virtuoso ton will remain a stellar example. It was an innings of such beauty and character that one could fill up a tome in appreciation. The footwork was as precise as a Swiss clock and certainty with which he judged length to attack or defend blunted the venom of Kumble and Harbhajan for hours. Add to that the sheer grace of strokes and you get a renaissance innings....

India have adopted this tactic before so it is reasonable to assume that they would stoop to this type of underhanded style of play again.

Gillespie was also crucial to the game if Australia win this test.

Expect the unexpected. Every day in this Test. So, when no one thought this would end in a draw - it will....

Too bad about tha rain :@ :@

some would say this is the best result with so many people having a vital role, e.g. Gillespie, Warne, Martyn, Sehwag and Kumble and H.Singh
