hmmmm, interesting that, the Indians seem to handle Warnie on those pitches pretty easily, or maybe there resting him in the rotation. Time will tell, but it does seem Buchanan and Waugh are losing confidence in him. As for Ricky, im sure hell be back, but his batting at the moment doesnt justify selection. Cheers

I hope Ponting has been dropped. He has absolutely no idea on the Indian pitches, so why keep perservering? So I hope the balding arrogant little shit has been dropped for good!!

If ya smell what Santos is cooking!!
Hopefully they'll play Lehman. If he gets in he can quickly destroy a spin attack.
I don't think Warne has bowled that badly but his line has been way to negative. What's wrong with bowling at the stumps for christ's sake. I also hate seeing him bowl around the wicket. The odd one may go around the batsmans pads but 99.9% of the time he has no chance of taking a wicket.
The Indians play spinners off the back foot very very easily which is something the Australians and Ponting in particular can't seem to do. And as David Hookes said, he needs to be penalised for his poor form. I don't think he was a rotational decision. He'll be back soon though.

i dont think its dropped
rather, the players are being rested.
Its clearly visible within the players body language, they just don't want to be there.

And what a suprise - Australia won easily!
I don't think Warne would of been a great influence on the game even if he did play - Harbahjan didn't take any wickets, it was more for the quicks.
As for Ponting missing out, they should keep Lehman in the side for now - he's a good player IMO.
