Ponting finally breaks the curse against India and storms back into form with a scintilating knock of a 123 followed by Hussey who is not out on 48. My guess is that this will be a very closely finished match.
Australia allllllllllllllllllllll the way 
Re: Australia start Strong in India/First test in Bangalore (10/9 - 10/13)
So we finally figured out who tilted the balance in Australia’s favor. 
I don’t know how many chances were given to Ponting to reach his mark but the decision of Matthew Hayden of caught behind was wrongly given by Asad Rauf. The bat brushed the pad and did not make contact with the ball. The Snick-o-meter showed a peak/nick but there was none.
Ponting was adjudged as not out when the ball - pitched outside off - was clipping his middle-and-off. Rudi upheld the decision and had technology been introduced, it would have overruled the initial decision.
And this was all by the end of first drinks break.

Shane Watson wrongly given not out by Rudi Koertzen. The ball was hitting middle-and-off.
He goes two balls later.

Ishant is bowling well. India should have gone in with 3 pacers with Munaf.

He was given not out prior to being bowled. The first decision of Hayden yesterday was also very doubtful.

Everytime I read Munaf Patel, it reminds of what Fair & Balance Bhai once said before World Cup started: "Munna World Cup jeet le lana re".

Sunil Gavaskar, during the first session of first day’s play, was contemplating whether Australia would be back in pavilion by tea time (on first day) and how much of a lead will India take by the end of second day.
