Feelings before and during the last day of Perth test.

Yes, we are favorites, yes 400 is a lot of runs, yes we've got two wickets, yes we have Kumble, but this is just huge. A test win at Perth!!! Luckily our team is made up of sterner stuff than I am. Two big dangers as I see it : 1. Ponting playing the innings of a life time. 2. India panicking at a Gilchrist/Symonds onslaught with 150 runs to get and 5 wickets in hand.
You might be right. Ponting is gone but Gilchrist is certainly very dangerous in such a situation.

Symonds is Australia's MVP player Lethal with the bat, handy with ball. He's been in tremendous form off late, and this is the sort of wicket that could be ideal for him. Ball coming onto the bat with some bounce, attack tiring in the afternoon and the situation ideal for a man who excels with his back to the wall. Some of his finest knocks have come in troublesome moments - the hundred against Pakistan in the World Cup, his maiden test hundred at the MCG in particular - watch him deliver here.
