btw any of u guys paid some attention to the swami army, there r about 70 indian supportes in the adelaide oval, they r wearing the tri-colour & apparently they r causing havoc!!!!!!!!!
India have a chance to win this test. Personally I don't think Aussie bowlers (in the current squad) will be able to bowl out the whole indian suqad. I doubt Gillespie, Bichel, Williams can do the job. Had it been McGrath and Lee it would have been a different story but with the current Aussie bowling line up I think india can win this test easily. Should be peace of cake. :)
BTW the people of N. America and Canada who are watching this series through Dish network don't get to listen to Akram's commentary how unfortunate :(
Durr Phitte Munh! :-p
Saby: thanks! That punk Healy.. most Aussies think they are unbeatable, but when it is time for a humiliation, they are coming up with excuses( which might have been true but still).
Teaser: Thanks for repeating what Healy said. Yes.. without Mc grath, Lee and Warne, it will be a “peace” coughspellsp-i-e-c-ecough of cake ( I hope I haven’t spoken too soon).

CB--healy repeatedly kept mentioning things like 'oh i just wonder what would have been the situation if Mcgrath and warnie were playing, you got a guy who is new, Williams, a leggie who is not as acurate as warnie could be' and things like that.
[/QUOTE]
I am not too sure about Warne. He has never been successful against the Indians and has more often than not taken a lot of stick from the Indians. Come to think of it, it might have been better for India - had Warne played.

Stop telling excuses. Wasnt critics saying Australia's 2nd Eleven is better all other test playing XI.?
Didnt everyone knew before the series that Warnie,macgreath and lee will not play for better part of series and they still gave India no chance?
Wasnt likes of you and umair were saying "Let the Baqreed begin"?
Wasnt Fasial jumping out of his pants when Aus made 400 on first day,though since then he disappeared?
Fact is that no one gave India any chance. And they cameup better in first 2 test matches so far.Doesnt matter India wins or lose this test but it sure does give the message that Aussies can be defeated in their own backyard and they are no good when they are under pressure.
Now go find some other excuse.

Really. I didn't know Healy have said that too, I just said what I analyzed. Oh well its all good.
And about the spellings thats why we have people like you on this board who can be always used as "spelling check". The only difference is it takes a while to get the result :)
Hey f&b, chandbeti and others... there is still 193 runs to be made... and we all know that the Indian team on many occasions before have stolen defeat from the jaws of victory.
Remember the Chennai/Madras test against Pakiland in the last India-Pak series... India just had to score some 220-230 runs to win in the last innings... and at one time they looked like coasting merrily towards victory but ended up losing the test match by 10-15 runs (Tendulkar was one of the culprits who simply gifted his wicket when it mattered most).
So lets keep our fingers crossed.
For Teaser
Teaser: I can help u with your spellings and your grammar too. :-p
j/k
Don't take me too seriously. Just that the "peace of cake" seemed really funny to me. I mean try to translate it to urdu or hindi: Cake ka sukoon/ cake ki shaanti. So it meant : Without Lee etc.. it is cake ka sukoon for Indians.
And yeah like it goes..Great minds think alike, so is the case of arrogant minds thinking alike. ( kidding again)

Man you need to get out of this negative mentality of yours.Yes it happened.but at the same time why you forget that Indian team is the one who chased 400+ runs to win also.
I have noticed this thing in all your posts recently that you are too negative.Agarkar sucks... Kumble is no good,Sachin needs to learn and blah blah.. Get it over with man... This Indian team definitly is mentaly very strong. So cheer up and pray for good. yes its true that in cricket you never know whats gonna happen.But watching the game yesterday I dont think pitch has detoriated as much as score suggest.Aussies batted very poorly.

I have spent enough time on this board to know likes of you.I very well understand what you meant. Take it for sure that Lee or no-Lee we will never get out on 53 and 56 in same test on wickets of Sharjah. So chill.Give the credit where it is due.
This Test match has been amazing. Over 1000 runs scored in four days.
I hope India wins it. If they can't win this match, I wonder what match they will. About time, World Champions face misery on their home soil.

Well, it is true. Indians are known to screw up the easiest of chances. But hope is all we have. :-p
Well, the pitch is still conducive for some good batting( hopefully). And with players like Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, VVS etc.. it should be a breeze( theoritically). But future cannot be predicted. So yes.. I am having my fingers crossed in the hope of the guys not screwing up this golden chance.
really, I wish Tendulkar is not able to play any significant inning in 2nd inning and R Dravid takes the side home so he gets the credit for winning the match.

Sachin needs to learn... now that is something I wouldn't say.. I am one of the biggest defenders of Sachin and his so-called inability to play under pressure.
But you are right about the "negative" part.
"B Negative" is my motto and also my blood group.
Ok sachin one was a bit exaggageration.
I hope you are enjoying it. By the way it is on dishnetwork $200 I am sure you would be watching this intresting series. 
Zabardast... lets see if Indians can hold the line and kick the Aussie arse good and firmly this time. Its time to bring the arrogant kangaroos down from their high horse.
