I don't expect them to reach 517, but they might play out the entire next day, and save this match :-(

If we could get this far in 4 days, I'm sure our team have the capability to take 5 wickets during the day.

Keep the faith!

Match can only be saved if it rains otherwise India will win tommorow.

I checked the weather forecast. 0% chance of rain in Mohali tomorrow.

The delivery with which Ishant bowled Ponting was pure magic!! Way to go young man!!

I hope India wrap the match up quickly tomorrow!

Aussie Slide begins - 144/8.

Zaheer's beauty rocks Haddin, White & Lee.

Let's wait for the inevitable now.

A victory - very well-deserved,is staring us in the face.

Bhajji starts it all, Ishant chimes in, Zaheer joins the party and now Mishra wants to wrap it up. Good all round performance

From cricinfo

India won by 320 runs. Thats a great all round performance from both the bowlers and batsmen. Good show guys and special congrats to Dhoni

5 times in 5 Test matches so far - Ponting is now Ishant's bunny, after being Harbajan's bunny for a long time.

Righto Ishan! The look on Ponting's face said it all. He looked like he has seen a ghost.

ashish22 · 21st October 2008, 16:42

Eddy · 21st October 2008, 16:45

Yes he will be as in Indian cricket politics is always more important than performances

Ane he will be captain as well!

Bingo! Ishant seems to really enjoy bowling to him too!

Yup! The way he looked back & tried to figure out what had happened, one could see he had no clue how the delivery slipped past his defence!

I hope not for two reasons:

1. I think Mishra is doing better than Kumble in this series and

2. Dhoni is a much better & much more aggressive captain.

Eddy · 21st October 2008, 17:04

I think Kumble will definitely play. He will not risk losing his place to Mishra. Unfortunate.

Depends entirely on Kumble. Hope he is large hearted. Delhi is also his favourite haunt.
