Oval has short square boundaries, and Ponting has had deep fielders, square of the wkt on both sides

Thats a good strategy to not give away too many easy runs. Hope Kumble makes a note of this. Too often such small things (noting the geography of the outfield), and placing fielders to prevent easy runs will slow the scoring rate and frustrate batsman. Hari - pls. SMS Kumble on this

he is dumb.. earlier in the inningz, he didn't keep 3rd slip for sehwag.. ball continue to go from that gap and sehwag got lot of runz.. punter used to just bend and get up but never put a fielder there..
