Meh, no time when watching this have I thought he'd get him out. All Siddle is trying to do is cramp him up and make him do something silly.

Dravid...why you gotta go and do that...
I dunno, I'm working as I watch but most of the balls I've seen bowled from Siddle to Gambhir have made him look quite awkward. I don't mean Gambhir playing and missing but just not in the flow he was before the break.

Having a batsman bogged down hardly qualfies as "having his number". Reserve that phrase for Ponting-Bhajji

LOL. Maybe you're right. It just seemed to me that Siddle really stopped Gambhir getting anything and pushing him right back on to the crease. These are usually the "calm before the storm" situations, as I like to call 'em. A ball in the right spot and you may see something silly.
Having said all that, Dravid ripped Siddle apart in that over.

Okay, well I'm seeing it differently, Siddle bowled a couple of good shorter ones into the rib cage but every time Gambhir managed to play the ball straight down so I don't think he's been troubled too much.
He was India's best in the 1st innings of the last test but the bowling to him today has been abysmal - any test batsman in the worl will score freely if you keep feeding him half volleys on leg stump

Yeah he's definitely looking in good touch but the bowling hasn't been too hot against him either.

Seems Punter is still stuck in the 4th innings of the Bangalore Test. Trying to woo Dravid into legside catchers.

It is more a question of when than if he will be back where I am concerned. Hope he gets at least a ton here.

Over rate is getting abysmal. Should see Cameron "Tendukiller" White soon.

Having seen the way wicket has behaved so far, one thing is clear unless the batsman play a terrible shot or lose concentration, there is no way bowlers are going to get 'em out, there is virtually nothing in this pitch for the fast bowlers and on top of that the bowling too has been patchy.

Lol, it was really funny to see the expression on Nicholas' face when Gavaskar was ranting about "how to control the flip of a coin", Completely looked dumb not knowing he being taken for a ride!

Really, I thought he'd asked whether he was being had on at least twice and looked unconvinced until Gavaskar assured him he wasn't joking.
