    *Official* West Indies in India

    To be fair, he also makes it look easy, not? In fact, for the first time I will go with those who keep comparing DMB with BCL. I've always felt that was way too early. But the facts are pretty clear. He's 22 years old and has scored over 1000 Test runs in the last 12 months. And not just easy...

    From Cricinfo: Welcome back. These are the days for records. let me tell you if Samuels reaches 50, this will be only the fifth time in Test history that each of the top six have scored at least 50. It last happened against India, inflicted by Pakistan. In fact Pakistan have done that twice to...

    I see. Good arguements ;) . But why? I've never been impressed too much by Harris. Botha has done reasonably well in the 5 Tests he's played.

    I most defenitely think Botha should have gotten a few more chances!

    EPIC! What a Test. Well into the 3rd session on the fifth day and still the odds are even! A tail-ender not knowing what to do in a tense situation!

    Dale Deeb, he is. Well only costed a single run.

    Got to feel for him.... Dropping a sitter as a sub.....

    I still refuse to be too critical over Watson. His place is a solid as a rock. Getting him from the opener's spot to 6 or 7 will NOT benefit the team! Aussie fans should be happy to have an all-rounder that can consistently get the shine of the new ball. Whining about the lack of conversions is...

    TBF, the Kallis of old woudn't have done this.

    So, what is it? The positive influence of T20 for Test Cricket? Great stuff by Kallis.

    That's why I like DRS. This is what it is for!

    Well, I guess I would, but in slow scoring matches, it's been the regular thing to take the game away with the bat first. Or am I wrong with that?

    Can't really argue with that! To be fair, Watson's first dismissal was by a Steyn snorter and his 2nd wasn't exactly poor batting either (could have reviewed it). I've always liked Watson as an opener. Stay there for a while, get the shine off, set a decent start of the innings. Who cares...

    You think Aus would have asked SA to follow on?

    As PEWS said, they have made a choice. Would be interesting to see what happens when Jerome Taylor tries to get his way back, I guess.

    Well, well! Useful 9th wicket partnership that. I suggest no one doubts Darren Julius Garvey Sammy ever again!

    Butt/Amir/Asif - Spot Fixing Trial

    I've always disliked the idea of punishing groups for the deeds of individuals. Doesn't make sense to me. Apart from that, even a banned Pakistan could get into controversy ;) . As far as ICC handling goes: a ban and possibly a fine. But the British criminal court is not about cricket or...

    Well, Windies were unlucky too. Especially Edwards didn't get the wickets he deserved.

    *Official* West Indies in India

    I was just gonna post that Ashwin has a decent FC batting record and a reasonable ODI batting record............ Anyway, great test so far! I've watched yesterdays afternoon session. A bit disappointed this morning when I saw that the nice set-up was somewhat disturbed by Indian bowling. And...

    Honours even today? I can see India finish this off relatively quickly tomorrow, but I can also see these two adding a few more. Sammy and Rampaul can hold a bat, so it is once more in the hands of Chanders. The real challange for the Windies will be to crack the Indian batting line-up. Sehwag...
