And, let's face it, Ishant's looked fairly comfortable in general. Faced some top bowling, evaded the short ones well, still there. Nothing wrong with the deck or conditions.
I was thinking the Oz bowling was pretty pedestrian until that over from Pattinson.

If Pattinson doesn't become an ATG in the years to come I'll be very surprised. Doing everything right at the moment.

Hilf bowling beautifully today.

The Indian middle order should be embarrassed that the nightwatchman is still out there while they've thrown their wickets away.

Remainder of the 90's Sachin goes and rest of the team decides... No point hanging around anymore.

Even with Siddle and Hilfenhaus, this attack just feels so much more balanced than the Hilf, Siddle, Johnson combo. Probably because we actually have two bowlers who can use the new ball.

Hilf's had two problems in the past.

1) He's bowled too short.
2) He's been too one dimensional.

In this test he's been neither, which is why he's getting wickets. He's always had the raw materials to become a good bowler, but never really lived up to that potential. If he can string together more performances like this, he'll be a good long term option for Australia.
