***Official Australia in India***

[duffer]

Brilliant bit of bowling by Mishy!

 

[Ikki]

Absolutely stupid shot by Katich. Completely missed the ball.

 

[Precambrian]

Good bowling pitch! Mishy looks good.

Here comes Ponting to register his first double hundred of the series.

Here comes Ponting to initiate Australia's collapse.....

Absolutely stupid shot by Katich. Completely missed the ball.

No two thoughts there. This was coming, esp when he was constantly playing that stupid flick of his.

Sad, really. Think the attacking nature of the morning got him.

I reckon the team plan will be similar to Sydney 2004; attack the follow-on, get as close as they can and let India bat again, use up time and set them a target which they can't get so they'll have less time to bat out for the draw. Or go for the win......

This'll be a tough period; two lefties would have been helping Aust minimise the risk against the leggies. Hope Ponting's in the mood....

Counter hexing? :P

Ponting will make a century here. You heard it from me.

C'mon Punter time for that 37th century mate, would be a big test for Ponting to straightaway come and face spin bowling, though he would be glad he doesn't have to cope with Harbhajan in this game.

Make it a double please, thanks.

Kumble expected to step in. And let Ponting get his eye, foot and baggage all in.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Ghambir banned for one match for the elbow.

 

[Precambrian]

Naa, not everytime Ishant can get Ponting. All bets on for Punter to cross 100 before Tea.

 

[duffer]

Didn't realise there were 4 Delhi lads playing in this match. Must be awesome for them.

 

[Ikki]

Ghambir banned for one match for the elbow.

Yay!

Dumb shot

After that start, they simply needed to play normally and keep inexperienced bowlers like Mishra and Ishant out there all day

To make matters worse, he's now thrown away 5 starts in 5 innings

 

[Precambrian]

Ishant bowls to his good friend, and idol batsman, Ponting.

Gambhir banned. Deserved it. Copped a 60% match fee fine last time.

Ghambir banned for one match for the elbow.

Can't wait to see Badri make his debut.

Dravid to open?

 

[duffer]

Would have to, unless they call in Chopra from outside the squad.
