I watched about 20 minutes near the beginning of the day and another 30 mins around 2pm and their fielding was absolutely atrocious. Think I saw 4 or 5 mistakes at least in about 50 mins. Could've been more, it seemed like nearly every second ball was misfielded at one stage. Also saw a bouncer clear the batsman by about 3 feet and the keeper by at least a foot and a half.
But, as Gambhir said, just you wait until they get us at home...

Not really. Just saying that "oh, India are completely out of the game etc etc" just shows a lack of knowledge about how games at Adelaide work. They aren't.

Roach smashing Kallis in the grille was pretty funny.
They're carrying a passenger - a number 3 bat no less - and it makes no difference at all.
From what little I saw it wasn't just that they weren't trying hard enough or had already given up: they were deliberately taking the piss. I saw different fielders (Ashwin, Yadav and Zaheer are the ones I can recall right now, but I was floating in and out of consciousness and definitively fell asleep just after Clarke got his century) either deliberately time slow-motion dives to ensure the ball had passed them by the time they hit the grass or sort of jog alongside the ball even though they could have fielded it with ease, making no effort to stop it and sort of ******ing it to the boundary.
It was bizarre. Someone should put out a highlights DVD: Heroic Indian Fielding Failures Abroad XVII, Australia 2011-2012.

Ishant disagrees.

If it were the first Test, maybe, but this has become borderline trivial, hasn't it?

It's sticking the nerdy kid's head down the toilet after you've stolen his lunch money and giving him a wedgie. You've proven your point, it's now getting a bit unneccesary.

Stuart Broad was basically Ishantesque before India series anyway....
what do you think he was bowling like mcgrath on viagra before too ?

Broad has never had an 11 Test run where he took 20 wickets @ 65.60 - but I guess that's only because Ishant is unlucky, not at all that he's abysmal.

Is it me or is Michael Clarke not talked about much?

I think you are being disingenuous there by including the stats after the England tour. Pre England there wasn't much to chose between the two. Post that they have been traveling at the same speed in opposite direction.
