I have never seen a luckier batsman than Dravid's been on this tour. Has gotten out twice on no balls, numerous dropped catches, at least a couple of plumb lbws(including today's) not given. It's been AT LEAST a life per inning for him in this series.

Who was the umpire at Johnsons end that gave Dravid the benefit of the doubt? I'm assuming it was Billy "I don't give LBWs to anyone" Bowden?

Perth did go against him though, but you're right he should have been given LBW today, but in real time I personally believe it wasn't that obvious. However I would have been disappointed if I was an Australian supporter.

I don't. If you had Jon Lewis in your team, would you bowl him second change and open with Simon Jones?

The bowlers with the most comparative advantage from the new ball in relation to the older one should take it.

At the moment, I think that is Lee and Clark, but it's not because they're the best two.

Ponting's faith in Johnson all through this series is paying off at last I guess. He's bowled beautifully today. And I'm so glad Dravid's gone. Nobody deserves the luck he's had in this series.

Knew we'd lose a wicket before lunch. Just had a feeling.

Worst time to lose that wicket, they were doing really well and going into lunch at 1 down would have been great. :(
