^ Other teams yes - not India.
BTW this game is far from over - the slog is starting
5 overs to go. Aus 221 for 7. Need 63 from 30 balls. Harbhajan back into attack. Jai Bharath!
Awright! Hogg is gone stumped Patel b Harbhajan. Aussies 8 down. Fans have started dancing
Bichel is gone! One more wicket to go...Zheeeer!
Why the heck are the fans lighting up some thing! They're waving lighted paper or something...so dangerous
Aus need 52 runs from 20 balls with last wicket in. Fans are bursting crackers...the noise is deafning...Zaheer is zooming
Now there's a big bonfire with a crowd dancing around it..233 for 9 in 48th over

Ofcourse I have faith. It is the best batting line up in the world. Australia happens to be a close second in batting and a league ahead in bowling when any two of those three show up.

best batting lineup on their own pitches...
Zaheer bowling 49th...Aus need 48...9 balls to go!
Great Bowling by Agarkar as always - 5 overs 37 runs (> 7 runs per over). Would anyone know, who does his shifarishi in the selection committee....
akpower ...whatever! so jealous?

Was there an Indian Umpire in this match ? I dont know the details regarding the decisions made but I am all for neutral umpires at both ends. I am not sure what stops the Indian board from deputing only neutral umpires...it can't be money...

You know what's funny?
We'd have been perfectly happy if Agarkar scored a 0 and took the wkts Sehwag did and Sehwag scored the 5 (or so) boundaries Agarkar did and didn't take any wkts.
I agree Agarkar looked pretty bad and was gifting away with bad line and length. Sachin's bowling was scary too.
If both Kumble and Harbhajan hadn't found their l&l quickly on 1st change, Hayden & Glichrist would have massacred us. The 2 spinners should have shared the man of the match with SRT and VVS. To me the contribution of these 4 were equally valuable and necessary.
As long as we have good batting depth, we can afford a risky luxury such as Sehwag. But we cannot afford Agarkar given the overall bowling weakness.
I did not see the match so can't comment but I do know of a few players who I thought were more talented than Agarkar but were not given as many chances to represent India. Everytime I think I have seen the last of Mr. Agarkar, he seems to resurface. I only hope he is not picked for the Australian tour.
