17 overs gone - Australia 0/52
Looking pretty good, Slater was caught in slips of a no-ball.
The pitch is an absolute belter, its dry as. The outfield is lightning fast.
If the pitch doesn't slow down and turn a bit as the match goes on, its hard to see a result.
Slater and Hayden have looked brilliant. theres been lots of 4's and the Indians are frustrated.

Lunch Day 1 - Australia 0/88 - Hayden 41, Slater 41.
Slater hasn't looked so convinging in the last hour. If he settles down though, he could get a majorly big score.

Ponting robbed
Gilchrist robbed even more so
Warnes roobed by the third umpy
Indian umpires are CHEATING curry munching scum
WCE2000
12 Mar 2001, 16:33
are the umpires serious.
is David Hookes serious.
ive seen hatricks with 1 bad decision, but never 2 bad decisions and a pretty dicey one.
Ponting - pretty unlucky, some umps would've given that not out.
Gilchrist - pitched at a metre outside leg stump. umpire got caught up in the emotion. David Hookes has still denied it pitched outside of leg stump.
Umpire should get sacked for that decision.
Warne - bump ball. third umpire gave it not out on the first replay without any evidence whether it bounced or not.
Third Umpire should get sacked for that decision.
Absolutely redicolous umpiring if i've ever seen it.
Anyway, i'll make a predicition here - we will see the greatest ever test innings from Steve Waugh. This has all the makings of it.

hmmm umm well yeah not happy after being 190/1.
Bloody hell the indians appeal for absolutely everything!! They would appeal a six. http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Too bad Haydo didn't get his hundred, he played very well.
Bloody umpires, but who wouldn't be intimadated by 11 screaming indian players plus the 75 000 crazy ppl going off?!
------------------
"Collingwood forever"
Great. I missed everything from about 1/150 till stumps. Cricinfo seemed pretty satisfied with Ponting's dismissal, less so about Gilchrist's and made no comment on the validity of Warne's. But it's not as if we don't get the rub of the green at other times.
I thought we were on our way to a 4/600 declaration at one stage.
I could watch Mark Waugh or Gilchrist bat all day, but Langer is an ugly batsman to watch. He never looks set or even balanced, he always seems cramped up and half his shots look like afterthoughts. Good luck to him for scratching together half centuries while giving the impression of being completely at sea, but every innings of his an ordeal. Pity, because he appears to be one of the nicer guys in the team.
Anyway, I think we'll still win comfortably. Unless it all comes together for Tendulkar and some of his mates hang around for long enough.
We still need to get Tendulkar out twice, if we do that cheaply, we should win. Gillespie is a good defensive batsman and hopefully he can hang around with Waugh long enough to add a few more runs. I reckon tomorrow morning is crucial, if we can bat on for a session it will frustrate the Indians no end. If we're shot out quickly, they could bat for a while with the crowd going wild.

Is that another one of those innings where he leaves the tail to face two-thirds of the strike, leaving himself on a precious not out at the end, and everyone hailing him as a hero http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif Sorry I don't share your enthusiasm, but I've seen it all before.
BTW, between Gilchrist's dismissal (71.3 overs) and stumps (90 overs), the tail had faced 74 balls out of about 111 (add the odd no ball). You do the maths...

Australia 8/377
Steve Waugh - 79
Jason Gillespie - 36
Darky:
I dont know how you can say that. Steve Waugh hands over the strike because he has confidence in the tail, why do you think they often put on runs with Steve. Like right now, this is the highest 9th wicket partership for Australia v India.
When other recognized batsmen bat with the tail, they make sure the tail doesn't strike. Then, when the tail get on strike eventually, they get out, and in the end the recognized batsmen is often not out as well.
Anyway, this was one of the best innigs i've seen for a while from Waugh and Gillespie has been good two. Hardly a false shot all match from the two.

How good is Steve Waugh with the tail? Gillespie has been fairly impressive too - 38* with 7 fours. Australia should be aiming for 400 plus for their first innings total.
But the game is still in the balance - India still has to bat!

My god!!! Were the greatest Test team in history by a long long way. Steve Waugh has to be one of the best Captains ever!! I honestly thought the Indians would be tough to beat but doesnt look that way.
GO AUSSIES!!
Has anyone else noticed a pattern here? It seems to be getting harder to bat as the day goes on. The combined three morning sessions have produced 2(tailenders) for 268.
The two final sessions have produced 14/194.
Quite a discrepancy!

how things have changed today. We still have the upper hand, but were not as dominate as we were at the start of the day.
I think the half hour after tea could cost us the match. Steve Waugh, who is normally a brilliant captain, put in a bit of shocker here by telling his bowlers to persist with bowling around the wicket.
Even if it Waugh didn't tell the to bowl around the wicket, he didn't tell them to not bowl around the wicket, which is what he should've done after the first few boundaries were hit.

wow the game's back on again!
India are now 4/376 with Dravid and Laxman looking the goods. I think if India can make Australia chase over 200 on that wicket they would consider themselves very lucky and in with a good chance.
India lead by 96 (4/368) with 6 wickets in hand. Laxman is unbeaten on 163 just before lunch day 4.
Unfortunately I can't see a tv until I get home but it looks like Ponting's bowling which is a big worry. If India can get a lead of say 200 which looks very possible we may still have a very close game.
The pitch must be pretty tame though and Australia should be able to post a winning score. Good effort by India though.
India lead by 102 runs with 6 wickets remaining
Lunch - Day 4
Batsmen: R B 4s 6s S/R
VVS Laxman (RHB) 171 262 31 0 65.27 Striker
R Dravid (RHB) 50 127 7 0 39.37 Non-striker
Inida 4/480 - Laxman 222, Deadbat Dravid 101
Warne has been expensive at around 4.5 runs per over.
India are obviously only looking for a draw...there goes our record!!! Can a draw be counted in our streak..i dont think so unfortunately http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/frown.gif

how are india batting for a draw. if they declare now, it gives Australia well over a day to score 200 runs.
India won't declare till tonight, if they're still in. Whiich, they way things are going, they will probably be around about 300-350 in front.
Should be an interesting finish.

LOL LOL LOL - I knew Hayden would get a bowl soon!!! His first ball got belted for four! Five dot balls followed. Laxman and Deadbat have put on 259 now - is that some sort of record for the 5th wicket?
NOW SLATER IS BOWLING - THIS IS A PISSER!!!!
Maiden over bowled, same scoreline 4/491 at tea.

I dont know why Slats or Hayden didn't toss a couple of balls up.
So what if they got hit for a few sixes.
20 runs won't make much of a differene at this stage, but they would've been a chance they would've taken a wicket.

well if india keep batting and get such a high score that australia cant possibly reach it on the last day isnt it a draw?

Visro, I think that's very uncharitable. To say that India are ONLY looking for a draw - really. What we're seeing is a game in the balance. Australia can still win from here. But the magnitude of the achievement of Laxman and Dravid should not be belittled.
Laxman now has the highest score ever by an Indian in a test match. From an impossible situation, they are on the verge of saving this test. They are putting together an incredible partnership, threatening to bat all day, and possibly ending Australia's run of wins. You portray them as party poopers.
Plenty of teams have tried to save matches against us recently and failed miserably. India has been dismissed as a one man band. I think that claim has been comprehensively debunked, along perhaps with the myth of Australia's invincibility.
The 300 partnership has just come up. And Laxman has just reached his 250. No matter which way you look at it, it is an amazing match and a watershed for this Indian team.
Plus - test matches aren't played like Shield games. There's no onus on a team to force a result. That's why they run over five days.

Visro:
Australia are still very much in the hunt. India are 278 runs in front. If we need 300 runs if 5 hours, thats very gettable.
If they declared at tea, give Australia 4 sessions to get 200 runs, thats committing cricket suicide in every sense of the word, so i think you were a little harsh on the Indians then.
Anyway, this has been a great performance from Laxman and Dravid. You just keep thinking, will they ever get out. They just keep going on.

Shit, this looks bad. Goodbye to the winning streak. Im not sure what the score was a stumps on day 4 but if they dont declare soon then we will never get that many runs. I have an idea though, throw Gilly into open the batting.
