Ganguly gone for duck.....****

Isn't he entitled for that

C'mon he had a fifty in the last match (though many feel that fifty turned the match against India

)

So another Karthik in - the test opener of India.

I did not get to watch the game. If the pitch is in favour of spinners, how come Harbhajan as figures of 0-31 off 7 overs? Must have been quite a remarkable bowling performance from Murali Kartik.

I think India should win, but not easily. Aussies can be expected to put up a fight. As for "fixing" theory, it is possible but we have no proof. Most likely that the motivation factor was missing to some extent for the Aussies, as there is not much interest in the game. But still some of the new players would have been keen on putting up a good show in order to retain their places in the team.

The Indian Procession to Pavilion has started. Ganguly gone for a duck. Karthick next man in.

snaronikar · 17th October 2007, 18:54

As of now, the the indians are scoring runs through wides 7-1 and out of this 6W....

snaronikar · 17th October 2007, 19:00

Kathik too out for a duck.

Indians were too cautious. We had seen many a times this approach is not going to help them. If you get runs on the board, the pressue will be to ponting to defend the total. Lets see how Sachin fares

ntomer · 17th October 2007, 19:02

7/2. Out of which six are wides.

Karthick too gone for a duck.

Why didn't they play Rohit Sharma :-((

Funny ......

......
How about getting Dravid in place of Ganguly?

@diabloo: Even I felt so.....but Gangly has scored some runs in this series and is experienced...

Little Fella dropped by Gilchrist off bracken....Our guys are not able to play these bowlers.......

diabloo · 17th October 2007, 19:24

If AUS require 2 odd dropped catches to reach their total, shouldn't we also get it? Hope the little fella makes most of this gifted opportunity.

Little Master's defense broken through

SR Tendulkar b Lee 21 (36b 4x4 0x6) SR: 58.33

Tendulkar leans across for the cover drive, plays away from the body and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. The ball just clips the leg-bail.Lee hits the timber! full and swinging in.
