Rogers still walking a long way across the stumps.

Wouldn't surprise me if he struggled here, but I wouldn't write him off on that basis - it's asking a hell of a lot of a player on debut.

All those in the media, on the idiot box and even here who keep coming out every now and then asking about whether Laxman deserves to be in the side or the time has come for him to make way for young "bright-world-class" blood (like Yuvraj Singh?????), should go and jump in a well. Though one suspects they will lie low (even praise Laxman for the present) and come out of their holes at the end of the next limited overs tournament or when another "bright-world-class-youngster" blasts a few sixes of a hapless English medium pacer. :sleep:

This is why I hate and love cricket. This has the potential to be one of the greatest Tests ever, yet Australia are on the back foot, looking set to lose and every wicket that falls will make me want to go and hide in a dark corner.

FFS, cop one frickin' loss :@

How do you think Indian fans felt 4th innings? I was in the Singapore Airlines lounge at Melb Airport cringing every ball.

Can't believe Australian fans after 16 wins straight, and in a position where they can't lose the series/trophy, are acting like this.

Man up you spoilt brats. :p

Hmmm, I don't see any team making 400. However, if there is one team in the world that can do it, you'ld say it is Australia.

What is that highest succesful test run chase. Isn't that about 400?

I think, having two days to bat, we should slow things down and negate the new ball. Perhaps go for about 2.5 per over for the first 30 overs, then move up to 3-4 for the next 50 overs, just before the new ball. That would give us about 240-odd plus more than a day to bat.

We have won so much that every loss hurts worse than a loss would if you were just an average team. I've experienced it both ways. I'm a passionate Roosters fan, but last year a loss was nowhere near as bad as a loss to the Aussie cricket team. When you win more frequently, losses are harder to deal with.

What makes you think RP wont get his length right given it has been the least of his problems? He has struggled a bit with his line at times but not much with his length. So I reiterate, what makes you think he will not get his length right?
