Poor...underperforming. Bit of an oxymoron?

love to see that happening if your words come true..It'd be interesting to see if India can put Australia in for about 15 overs tonight... meaning they'd play for about 70 overs themselves and ideally score 300+ setting a target of about 400. That'd require a 4+ RPO chase from Aus but would give India 100 overs to bowl them out.
That's speaking very optimistically, though.
atleast aussies can have a chance to do some unexpected things with the bat on the last day

Indeed, which is exactly why it shouldn't and won't happen.

Nah you're frustrated because you wanted India to lose like you always do, and you expected it to happen against Australia so you could get off on it as usual, but its just not happening.
Damn

Surely I didn't just hear that. Did Peter Roebuck just say "people need to move on from the Sydney test match."
Peter Roebuck said that. The man who's written about this bull**** in nearly every article I've read in the last 12 months....

Not too sure TBH, he is a bit of a bolter though isn't he? You would of thought that Jaffer or Chopra may of got a gig, maybe even Uthappa (maybe). But I guess it is good to see that India put pressure on Dravid and made him open and bring in a middle-order batsman instead.
I hope, as I said in another thread that Badrinath comes in for Ganguly and for Dravid, it doesn't really bother me, I would assume it would be either Raina or Rohit, or maybe even Kaif, he did make it to one of the Indian Test squads of late. I think it may of been the SL series.

That's tough. Gambhir isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I think Badri is probably next in line in the middle order. I would not be surprised if they kept him in the squad though.
However, more so than the opener spot, the middle order spots are fiercely competitive and there are a bunch of people who could get that shot.

But sehwag is looking gingerly here. Looks like the injury/cramps is still there.

You are right!
Not able to find any bowler in Aussie camp that would trouble Indians at the moment!

I don't think Rohit has proben himself quite yet in FC cricket to come in for Dravid. Same with Raina, though his fielding is awesome and I'd love to see him eventually in the Indian team.
They may give Yuvi a go again in Tests, I'm not sure, though I hope not.

I think its Krejza

Very good session by India. Another good one like that and I think India have probably done enough.

Excellent session for India. Poor session for Krejza. And poorer stuff from Midge, trying to emulate Indians by bowling wide, but Sehwag upto the task.
they need a lead of 400+ to be reasonably safe here...the aussies would chase whatever the indians set for them and with hussey, ponting, hayden, katich and a decent tail, they can make a fight of it...

They are. They put one guy on ground, but he doesnt do commentary.

Game is dead set over for Australia now, i just hope they don't make Lee suffer on the field with them in such a pointless game anymore, Lee has show a lot of heart to come out and bowl even after being down with illness, but i think its really not necessary for him to come out and field and bowl in this heat and worsen his condition any further.
