Length delivery on the off, pitched up on the corridor of uncertainty and shapes away at the last moment, Hayden pushes forward getting a thick outside edge, ends safely in the lap of the keeper, little hardwork with the appeal to convince Rauf, finally the dreaded finger goes up, Hayden goes for a blob, big big wicket for the Indians, B'lore erupts!

Zaheer to Clarke, out Lbw!! Just about pitches in line with the stumps, Clarke gets forward to defend, plays down the wrong line, misses and rapped on the pads, big appeal and the finger goes up, that would have crashed into the middle and leg stump! vital wicket at the stroke of stumps...

9.1 Sharma to Ponting, no run, good length, good movement, bad decision by Ponting not to offer a shot after getting well forward, but he is let off as the ball struck him marginally outside the line of off stump, even though Ishant roared out an appeal
Ball was hitting the top of the stumps....TV comms said Pontee was lucky there since he didn't offer a shot

That wicket in the last over of the day evened things up
But great knock from Ponting
It was a blessing for him to come in after only 3 balls in the innings....he didn't have to deal with the spinners very early in his innings....however Ishant Sharma gave him a torrid time....but like true great he weathered the storm and scored a ton for his team....leading from the front....one could see the determination on his face

Ponting survived a couple of tight lbw calls early and, after he had reached triple figures, was reprieved when replays suggested he was caught and bowled by Kumble off a delivery that was adjudged to be a bump ball.

2008-10-09 08:58:46
In reply to Narper
Watch Haddin get into the runs tomorrow. Then there is Shane Watson who had a magical run in the IPL and should know conditions pretty well and White. Plus, Johnson and Lee are no rabbits. Am not expecting much from the Fab 3. Laxman and Sehwag will definitely get into the runs and that will decide this match.

I don't give a fuk what the comms said...it was goin over the top...haha...so if the comms say it it's right is it??
2008-10-09 13:44:55
Good knock from Dubya. But he needed to stay there to protect our fragile middle order from the mighty Indian twin-pace, twin-spin attack. As for Kumble, geez the bloke would appeal for wides left alone.

In reply to Surya
see that tigah...now he's tryin to open the face and hit 4's to third man cos there's a sweeper at extra cover...
2008-10-10 06:57:27
Go on Viru!
2008-10-10 06:59:14
you could put 9 men on the boundary and he'd still hit 4's...this cat aint human...

In reply to Catsanus
But , not better than Gayle, mate!
2008-10-10 07:04:48
In reply to Surya
how many 6's has Sehwag hit?? if Gayle was 43 he'd have at least 2 sixes...I rest my case...you can't put fieldsmen in row N...

Stumps - Day 2
Australia 430
India 68/0 (18.1 ov)
India trail by 362 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
G Gambhir 20* (55b 3x4)
V Sehwag 43* (54b 7x4
2008-10-10 07:40:04
In reply to bugz
3 days to go
This game will have a result
India must get a sizeable 1st innings lead...they have to bat last....and the pitch will give variable bounce
2008-10-10 09:22:48
It will prolly be a draw...their may be a few draws in this series cos both sides have strong batting lineups and fairly ordinary bowling attacks...
2008-10-10 14:29:47
Sehwag and Harbhajan are key for me. Ishant and Zak make the back-up. Australia rarely collapses in the first innings...it is the second they do the spectacular.
If India go 100 up, then match over for Australia for the pitch is already fizzing.
The last match here against Pakistan, Kumble almost won it.
2008-10-10 23:04:54
Sehwag has regained his confidence
Now OZ will face his blade
In two blinks Sehwag approaches a double...and den triple
If only Gayle can rekindle his confidence....but now he is burdened with cappoship
Sehwag and Gayle are not dissimilar in style...how can one explain Sehwag with a 50+ test average and Gayle a below 40 average? team...and team's batting strength....only reason
India can allow Sehwag to always play his natural game....because there are Dravid, Tendy, Laxman, and ganguly to follow
2008-10-10 23:08:19
as of right now. aus is still in control. its up to india to chnage that
2008-10-10 23:08:47

as of right now. aus is still in control. its up to india to chnage that
I don't agree....match even so far
1st innings 430 on this pitch is not enough....and India have already blunted OZ attack without loss.
I expect India to overtake this total by the end of today's play (3rd day)

2008-10-11 00:09:08
Lee to Gambhir, out Lbw!! Excellent line from round the wicket, angling into the left hander, Gambhir comes on the frontfoot and looks to flick it away, early into the shot, the ball keeps coming in, has him rapped on the pads and he was a dead duck, pace and accuracy rocks for Australia!!!
Gambhir lbw b Lee 21(61) [4s-3]

He lacks confidence
2008-10-11 00:25:44
SEhwag goes to a stupid shot
Wide ball...he goes for it
Great catch by Haydoes
22.6 Johnson to Sehwag, OUT, oh thats a silly shot! Johnson bowls it full and wide, perhaps a touch slower, Sehwag stands rooted to his feet and reaches out for it, chopping it off the outer edge straight into the bucket hands of Hayden at slip, talk about throwing it away

TenD gawn for 13
28.4 Johnson to Tendulkar, OUT, and Tendulkar just chips the ball to White at short cover! Johnson rolls his finger of a slower one, pitching it full and Tendulkar is deceived into pushing the ball t the man brought in to that position the over before after he drove four through the covers, a massive wicket

32.6 Johnson to Laxman, OUT, Well done Mitch! on the off stump, fuller than good length, seaming away a touch, Laxman is tentative, pokes at it, and edges it to Haddin, who gets it on the full this time. Laxman is gone for a 12-ball duck, and Johnson is proving very difficult with the variable bounce

Flashed hard
37.2 Watson to Ganguly, (no ball) FOUR, uppish cut here, don't think he heard the no-ball call before going for it, but it was wide and he flashed hard at it, the thickish edge goes wide of second slip
2008-10-11 01:40:31
Weh all dem birds come from?
2008-10-11 01:41:29
Beautiful off side shot again....pulled back on de boundary
dem two ole rass only run two
37.3 Watson to Ganguly, 2 runs, vintage Ganguly there, opens the face just a bit, sqaure drive finds the gap between gully and point who are standing almost next to each other. Hussey dives desperately to save the boundary, and the batsmen have taken two only. Vintage Ganguly again
2008-10-11 01:44:22
In reply to Narper Yes, it was well timed too. Dada mean to show em their mistake

41.6 White to Ganguly, no run, almost a return catch, full on the off stump, Ganguly closes the face early, and the leading edge falls a bit too wide of White

2008-10-11 03:21:57
49.5 Watson to Dravid, OUT, Dravid is not happy at all, this one swung in, looked pretty plumb, but was mighty close to the inside edge. The bat hit the pad just before the all three - bat, ball and pad - came in close proximity to each other. Rauf lifted his finger right away, but Dravid looked disappointed. The replays suggested it might just have been pad first
R Dravid lbw b Watson 51 (104b 7x4 0x6) SR: 49.03
dravid becoming more and more demonstrative these days?? btw, was that a dodgy decision?? some one who has seen it live?? and what was the ponting issue, heard he was caught and bowled by kumble, but indicated it was a bump ball. the umpire took the batsman's word?? now why would you believe ponting (any batsman for that matter, but especially ponting, who is the not the most honest guy out there). btw. who any action be taken against ponting for misleading the umpires?

2008-10-11 03:52:54
Lee to Ganguly, 1 run, short of a length, outside off, Ganguly drops and runs, Hussey is sharp, but Ganguly is in the way of the throw. Smart running

Johnson to Ganguly, OUT, and he's given him! Johnson gets Ganguly with one that pitches outside off stump and comes back in to rap the front flap, it looks to be marginally outside and Asad Rauf has a thought before adjudging it out ... the break in play has done Ganguly in

bro, punters need to set this up. if he declares at 300 we have a game on. but then there is the vicious sewag factor. if he gets going the game is over by tea.
2008-10-12 19:48:22
In reply to jcveletta
It seems to me that Ponting is going to bat India out of the match, and still have a go at them. Look for him to try to push the lead to anywhere from 325+ and still have a go. I think he will try to bat 1 session, and have an all out go at the Indians.
2008-10-12 19:49:17
In reply to jcveletta
aus shoulda showed more urgency last night...Katich fuked around then they were blockin kumble out at the end...I spose if anyone can score quick on that deck its sehwag but 260 is a fair target on that deck...difficult to dominate but I guess Sehwag will score quick on anything...
2008-10-12 19:53:25
In reply to Catsanus
325+ will set a bad precedence for the rest of teh series. it shows that punters is afraid of the indian top order. 300 will be bold. batting a session out will be negative.

Hmm I thought that it at least gives him enough time to bowl out the opposition. To improve that option he leaves India a glimmer of hope. He wants to keep them interested but he is not going to throw the game. Most teams tend to play it safe I like the Aussies they are aggressive and go for the win

In reply to Babylon They shouldda batted faster yesterday if they really were aggressive.
Who goes after 300 at a run a minute on a fifth day track.
If wicket bad, dem can be bowled out.
Caution first should be the batsmen mantra.
2008-10-13 00:59:24

Australia's job is not to make it easy for India bro. Theirs is to win the game. If India wanted to stay in it they should have attacked more Kumble was way too defensive yesterday

2008-10-13 01:02:35
In reply to Babylon Nah, if Australia wanted to win they shouldda batted faster so they couldda declared earlier giving their bowlers more time than just five hours to bowl out India.
They might still get lucky if uneven bounce or turn present.

Ponting takes it...great catch
Lee strikes
8.3 Lee to Dravid, OUT, what a catch by Ponting! But that's soft from Dravid. It was overpitched, on the pads, and Dravid went for an instinctive flick. There was a short midwicket in place, it went to right of Ponting, and fast. Ponting went horizontal, and caught it while parallel to the ground. Superb reaction

yes, will be hard; but, dravid and sewag gave their wickets away. mate, will you flick or play across on a slow track? they have played too much cricket to get out like the way the did. i am sorry, but that kind of shot selection is unacceptable. higher standards is needed.
