No, it's the adjectives, and how amazing everything is all the time.

huh? You can't really see anything at all in that video. It could be anything that he's grabbing. Absent of anything approximating evidence (other than Laxman had 'something' in his pocket), this is meaningless.
Dire to see that already on the site some people are suggesting ball tampering *sigh*.

Exactly right, its just the media trying to stir things up again.

Sorry but that seems to discount the performances of other players in the team. Dravid has made a 93, Tendulkar a 70, RP was very good with his 4 wickets and his 30, Laxman was so good with his inning today, Fact is that it has been a team effort and your post makes it sound like it has been a solo Irfan effort.

Two down at stumps means it would take a minor miracle for Australia to win tomorrow, IMO. The key to such a large chase was a good start, and Australia being 0 or 1 down when they made it through the tricky period tomorrow, with a good start on the chase and good batsmen still to come. I had a feeling that was managable, but it didn't work out at all, and Jaques in particular was pretty disappointing.
Obviously anything is possible, but I just don't have that much faith in anyone below Clarke at the moment to make big runs in a situation like this. Ponting and Hussey will have to be together a long time.

Fun Fact: West Indies were down 2/50 in their record breaking chase against the Aussies in 2003.

It says something for the aura that Australia have built for themselves that they’re 2/65 chasing 413 in the fourth innings of a Test in which they’ve been generally comprehensively outplayed and there’s still a lot of people saying the balance of the match is 50/50. The boys certainly deserve such credit, so remorseless have they proven over the years in their pursuits of victory. That being said, it’s very, very much India’s game at this stage – an Aussie win from this position would surely go down at or near the very top of their all time victories.
Personally I’m going for an unbeaten double ton from Punter, and Kumble to take our last three wickets in a hat trick to dismiss Australia for 412.

Enthralling match really. Tait's selection has been highly dubious, that's for sure. His fielding is such a liability. Hopefully it will be nice and close tomorrow, with the Aussies getting home of course. 
Also want to give credit to the Indian bowlers. Apart from Sharma today, the Aussies have not been given much to drive and the controlled swing has been a standout. Understood that the Perth deck is giving a bit of help to everyone, but Pathan and Singh in particular are exploiting the cracks and making the batsmen play. Almost feel like I want India to win, given they've been the better team so far.
