Some quotes from Irfan Pathan:

“We did pretty well but I don’t think there’s anything for the top order to be ashamed about .”

We did very well today , and we’re very confident that we can do even better over the next two days.”

Is this guy even playing the same test match??

:rotfl:

Seems like even the players live in the same fanstasy world as the journalists. If they think they are doing so well, no wonder they don’t improve

^ hahaha, that is so funny, may be he was talking about himself “playing well” or may be he has some other definition for “playing well” :hehe:

Warnie has a so-so performance but Glenn is back in groove…:dhimpak:

What would be a good total for Australia and how long should they bat?

I think a score of 500 runs for the second innings will be enough to demoralize the ‘strongest batting lineup in the world’ :mudhosh:

Please someone grant a wicket to Zaheer. He is starving.

Kyoon bai..everyone is a post match ‘expert’ here? :hehe: Nobody knows what is a good total other than Smoothy?

Yea, smooth guy…500 plus would be a good total..Just enough to challenge India to show some balls and chase the target or else we all know their defensive mentality. Anything over 600 and they will just go for the draw. I will be impressed if Aussies can get them out in the second innings though.

Hi guys.....its good to come back here. Is anyone showing the match online cause i dont have Dish Network at home.
Please I really wanna watch this exciting contest

Harbhajan itching to get his 10th wicket of the Test with AUS at 226/9

edit: Harbhajan takes the 10th wicket, AUS all out for 228

Indian batsmen prepare to chase a mammoth 456 run lead

:(

Sehwag out for 0 on another incorrect LBW call by Bowden.

saala billy bowden

Bowden:bash:

Holy Cow Chopra OUT

Looks like the we will be done with the match today it self.

7/2 off 3.5

oh my
RUN OUT
ganguly gone...

6.1 McGrath to Ganguly, no run, RUN OUT! terrible mix-up! pitched up on
the pads, turned away to the midwicket region, Ganguly sets off
for a single but Dravid is not interested, throw comes to the
keeper, both the batsmen are at the bowler's end

DOOB GAYAY -- KOEE BACHAAAO

WHAT THE *****

They are playing like kids -- in this way the game will be over before the end of the the day

I feel bad for you neighbours !

I feel bad for myself too:teary3: :teary1: :teary2:

Laxman out first ball after tea. Leg before to Warne. What a disaster on cards.

11.1 Warne to Laxman, OUT: Goners! The flipper and straight in line, hit
low and umpire Bucknor waits, nods then puts up his finger - a
first ball wicket

Saby Bhai looks like they want to finish off the match today itself

:mad: :mad2: :mad3:
