Need at least a decent 30-40 from him (and Kohli too ) for us to have a lead
just need to see out pattinson and hilfy new ball spell. will be interesting to see if oz use fast bowlers from first over tomorrow cause new ball will be availaible in 15 overs and if clarke uses fast bowlers they may be tired. so if he uses lyon then dravid and ishant may be able to add 35-40 runs which will help in settling us in. also rd will have probably completed his 100 by then and get confidence.

I think Aussies will start tomorrow with Siddle and Pattinson going flat out for about 6-7 overs. If they dont succeed switch to Lyon and Hilfenhaus and then bring back Siddle and Pattinson with the new ball. The pre-lunch session tomorrow is critical for both teams.

Dravid will get out in first 5 overs tomorrow... even if he stays he wont make his 100 before lunch... so no question of 100 and confidence before the new ball comes :D

laxman + dravid + kohli + dhoni + the tail will get a 100 run lead. don't worry. even we can't feck this up.

pitches were more difficult (ppl like vvs not so good in eng conditions but right at home here). bowlers were higher quality. raina.

He is found wanting technically. Hence lot of times he gets out to desperate shots. He is not rash. He is a smart man. But being unable to cope he resorts to swishes and slashes

exactly.. He is also aware of his limitations..so he will get a100 in flat tracks and some how manage a avg of 35
