Losing the toss didn't exactly help...india struggling as usual in the 1st test of the series...it is as if they need to necessarily mess up one test to come alive...
Doing it away from home is sort of understandable but seeing them do it at home now and against South Africa earliern this year is really really poor.india struggling as usual in the 1st test of the series...it is as if they need to necessarily mess up one test to come alive...
All the variable bounce came when they dug it in I found. They're bowling more conventional new ball areas now and it seems to have disappeared. Need to bend their back and get at them for mine.Damn... this is getting really dire now, this partnership is seriously hurting the Aussies and eating into their lead. FFS where has all that univariable bounce disappeared all of a sudden.
AWTA.Bring Watson on IMO.
AWTA. We'll double check if its a four, but not if he's out or not. Cricket is losing what little integrity it has. If in the May 2009 (or whenever) the report comes out and it warns against TV referrals, I'll go completely bat**** insane.Really rags me off that, we've had about half a dozen dodgy LBW shouts* so far, most of which tv could've helped with, but the 3rd umpire spends about two minutes deciding if that was a 4 or not.
Can't help but think the fall or non-fall or a wicket rather more crucial than one or two extra runs to the outcome of a game.
*Although Ganguly looked gone in real time to me.
When isn't he looking awesome?Zaheer looking awesome.
