Lee doing a bit of a Harmison here

Not looking good for Australia here. Given that the pitch is meant to be a good bowling one, and the whole 'dew factor,' we really need to get them out for a low score, and I daresay 2/123 after 27 overs wasn't what Australia was hoping for.

silentstriker · 29-10-2006, 04:13 AM

What the hell is Sehwag thinking with that shot?

Dravid · 29-10-2006, 04:15 AM

Damn! Sehwag out

pasag · 29-10-2006, 04:16 AM

Sehwag gone, nice bowl from Johnson.

PhoenixFire · 29-10-2006, 04:18 AM

I assume Yuvraj Singh is injured, is he not?

social · 29-10-2006, 04:18 AM

Great delivery from Johnson - swinging at close to 90mph and a leftie is quality

Sehwag chanced his arm and hit some great shots but was really tied down once they bowled at the stumps

Big period now

3 down now - Sehwag plumb to Johnson. So far the pitch has been described as a good one though, and the dew factor ought to affect them more than us.

Not too worried at this point - if India go on and make 270, 280+ I might be pretty concerned, but there's plenty of time here for a collapse.

Theres plenty of time and wicket for them to get there too.

From this point 132/3 i would back india to score atleast 260. I have got this great feeling that dhoni is gonna smash it around the park today? and take india to 280+.

The lack of singles and twos in the Indian innings in the middle overs is worrying. There's no shortage of batting here, when you've got a genuine batsman yet to step in, but they're playing out way too many dot balls. The Australian bowling attack is rather inexperienced, while Kaif and Dravid have been around for a long time. They can't afford to let this carry on till the 40th over, else we'll see lots of reckless batting past that phase.

Nitpicks: Notice the crunching sound each time the ball hits the pitch before it reaches the batsman?

Dravid · 29-10-2006, 04:41 AM

8 runs saved by the stumps this inning. 153-3. 270 most likely from here.

Yea I notice that too, when I'm looking at laptop and I hear that I get scared thinking a wicket fell

The Indians have already found a target: Andrew Symonds.

When the Indians come out to bowl, they'll be a bowler down. The big question is how they'll handle the spare ten overs. If dew is a factor, we wouldn't expect any of the part-time bowlers to last longer than three overs, making it a weak area in the bowling lineup.
