Glad u r back ' date=' just avoid bringing Sreesanth in every post, I am not sure if u have some connection with him other wise good banter is fun , hopefully Sreesanth is watching the games and learns what it takes to get back , commitment, skills, pace of Umesh is eye opening, even Ishant u have to be grudgingly admit bowled very well.:giggity:[/quote'] Hey man, cheers for welcome. Thanks I will take that advice on board. But you have to admit I do get provoked a lot about Sreesanth and mods don't deal with that. Anyway yes Ishant has improved but needs to develop wicket taking ability. Look at Yadav, he created so many chances just this morning of day 4! If Umesh can learn to regularly swing the ball, he will be even more deadly. But the surprise odd swing/seam movement works in his favour too. Sree or no Sree, it does cause a lot of pain but at least India are playing hard :two_thumbs_up:

Thread is not a total fail. GG is nurdling well and leaving outside off with reasonable reasurance:icflove:

But we have a star studded line up :hatsoff:

Brilliant positive batting by Ind so far .... But looking at the pitch you can never feel as if you are in

[Sachinism]

8 wickets to go

[zen]

Sachin starts of positively too .... Brilliant approach by Ind

[zen]

GG needs to improve his backfoot game, esp get the pull and hook going .... His initial reaction to anything short of length is to just tuck up or glide the ball for a one .... On the front foot, he is brilliant

Lets at least try and get to around 225 to make it look respectable. 3 test series starts from 3rd Jan at Sydney.

I m loving Tendulkars approach here 12 of 11 .... 50 up for Ind

[Prakat]

Tendlya and VVS to take it from here. :yess:

[zen]

Aus has its tail up .... Ideally one of these two (10 or Lax) will hv to get a big 100. Great opportunity to be a hero. I wish I were batting :P We needed someone to take the Aus attack to the cleaners and dent their confidence level. Too bad that ball didn't go over Hussey or in the gap

[zen]

Dhoni's shot :haha: Lax too hit straight to the fielder With aus all over the place, it was too much of a pressure situation for virat .... Could hv sent him to bat higher

[zen]

1st test blues continues ....

[Dravid_TheWall]

I can't believe I have woken up to this.

[peterparker]

bowling..though bowled them out but still...26/4..then 240..these pitches are not meant for 300 first of all... same thing which south africe did..got them out for 40 odd runs..though indian team have this easy going attitude..i will give the a lax of 120-130 all out score

[lovish]

If Mahi opened with Viru could we use him as a pinch hitter' date=' surprise the Aussies. Maybe the mere sight of MS's broad shoulders and his blade, Australia ko dar lagjaye ga.[/quote'] Ye australia h bro not bangladesh... she the aussie shoulders and msd would look a girl to you...
