Some chances here.

 

[Burgey]

Why's that funny?

Gotta have a crack, especially at Zaheer in this context. Does get rattled at times, and if they can hurt him it gives Dhoni one less option.

Odds very much in his favour though.

 

[Johnners]

Bloody hell - what a start, throwing wood. When does the power play end?

5pm IIRC

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

That's the ticket!

 

[pasag]

No need to go nuts.

 

[pup11]

Both openers playing some agricultural shots, and i am liking it!!

 

[Johnners]

No need to go nuts.

Should have told Haydos earlier, not that It would have made a difference mind you

 

[Burgey]

5pm IIRC

Mike Coward saying he'd "like to see Hayden play more conventionally".

Good on ya Mike. Always the kill joy. The Malcolm Conn of radio "expert" commentary. At least he hasn't banged on about the "enormous cultural significance of that wide half volley which was let go by the batsman" yet. If he bangs on with that **** again today, there'll be blokes throwing themselves out of buildings in the Sydney CBD.

Chasing 380 in a 4th innings with a reversing ball is hardly easy, the time just adds on to that IMO.

380 in 4 sessions would have been pretty damn tough anyway, surprised you'd think they'd get it. It'd break many records.

Just a feeling I guess. Australia's second innings batting efforts have been pretty good for the most part and I think they could chase down the target.

Not in one day though, excluding a miracle.

 

[silentstriker]

Very good over.

 

[pup11]

Give him the charge Haydos...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

****

 

[silentstriker]

Gone.

 

[pup11]

Katto

 

[Top_Cat]

If these guys stay out there for a while, reckon they'll target Mishra.

EDIT: Bah, the Cricinfo delay strikes.

 

[pup11]

Punter to play innings of his lifetime, to make up for his ****ty captaincy, c'mon Punter!!!

 

[Johnners]

Haha Katich

Would like to think that Ponting will bring some control to the innings, that was just ridiculous, even if it was quite amusing.

 

[Top_Cat]

<howardj> Ponting to play the innings of his life, just quietly. </howardj>

 

[HMas]

1 down, 9 to go

 

[silentstriker]

Career defining opportunity for Punter here, so many things, personally and as a team at stake.
