Out! Really good ball (very tired-looking shot, though) and when Brett Lee is bowling off-cutters, you know he's feeling pretty good so this could get interesting.

Hope the 40 overs Sehwag bowled were worth it.

EDIT: Nightwatchman? What the....?

Sharma didn't seem up for facing 90mph bowling with the new ball. Actually, he didn't look up for facing Clark's 80mph bowling.

Not even for five wickets?

Not if he's your opening batsman, in my view. Mind you, his 2nd innings record isn't great so I guess they weren't losing much. :D

The way I see it, the Aussies were always going to get close to the Indian score, even 5 wickets (4 bowled and 1 LBW even!) didn't prevent that. Yet him bowling 40 overs would have cost him in terms of batting. Not worth it, for mine.

Only because Sharma and Mishra can't catch.

Who else would have bowled them though? Especially when Kumble was injured. Maybe 40 was a bit much though, yeah.
