Nah, some balls were seaming big time and causing Dravid heaps of problems before tea when Hilf and pattinson were bowling well. The pitch hasnt miraculously gotten better, bowling's been tripe and SRT's been brilliant since teaWe could be in big trouble here...wicket looks so good for batting.
Only Pattinson has been able to get anything from the pitch after the new ball (and even still not that much), but that's just because he is a pretty gun bowler. I don't think the pitch has really got much better, it was pretty damn good for batting yesterday as well. We (partly thanks to the BCCI, partly average batting) just didn't make the most of it.Nah, some balls were seaming big time and causing Dravid heaps of problems before tea when Hilf and pattinson were bowling well.

It was both. Agree with TumTum though, Pattinson didn't get much swing with the new ball. His main threat so far has been seam.was seam no?
Sorry but after that last spell, I dont even think it's open to debateReally mate...!! I think that spell between Hilfy and Patto was the most sustained bowling effort from both ends that we have produced in sometime now.
