Sure. They are in my cell as of now and I don't have a USB cable to connect to a computer. Will transfer the pics to one of my friends' cell and ask them to put them up in Picassa or something and then will email them to you. :)
Sounds good - cheers :)

Sreesanth getting decent pace, 88mph, in his 1st over - if he can get the inswinger (to the left hander) working will have Smith in trouble

Been trying to figure out who is commentating took me half an hour to realise it is the lisp himself Graham Thorpe

Doesn't seem too bad TBH

Kiwis, can you let me know how I can catch a live commentary or coverage of this in New Zealand. I want to see Sharma.. but he's not there. WHY?

Don't ever see that happening. Can see Steyn possibly doing well in this series, and obviously hope he does. But not well enough to emulate Donald, either this series or over his career. Even if he takes 17 wickets at 19, still don't see it in fact.
He doesn't have to emulate Donald in the sense that he has to become as good as him, just has to well in this series to prove to any doubters he may have that he can this generations leader of the SA pace attack.

Following from Adcock-P Pollock-Procter-Van der Bijl-Le Roux-Donald-S Pollock-Steyn(potentially)

Ah okay. Cheers.

This will be such a big test for Steyn later on. Smith and McKenzie making it look like batting paradise. 4.22 run rate... holy cow.
Its flat no doubt, and Steyn and co. will be tested, but boy India haven't bowled well at all. Poor lines, and as if they have no plans.

Still, it's crazy to think that tests are played at such a rapid rate run scoring wise. 400 on the cards for day 1?

Whatever it takes!!!
Chepauk is always good for stroke play. True bounce and true pace = enjoyable batting conditions. Spinners do well as we go on but initially at least, it tends to favour the batsmen, esp. the ones who tend to be stroke makers.. Hayden, Slater etc. have all enjoyed it here.....


BTW, watch out for the post-tea session. Generally, that is when the most damage is done by the bowlers, esp. on the first day....

Yeah, so many times teams don't lose a wicket before lunch, and then are almost all out by the end of the day.

Not saying it'll happen today, but Chennai seems to generally follow a pattern.
