Test 2
Day 1 Anil Kumble, Anil Kumble and Anil Kumble! Day 2 Virendra Sehwag, Virendra Sehwag and Virendra Sehwag! So far so good, and am keeping my fingers crossed. Anil |

Day 3
Patel, Kaif and Warne. The newspapers and TV here are full of Warne and his world record. I wonder when Murali is next in action ? |

QUOTE(Bhirgu @ Oct 16 2004, 02:10 PM) Day 3 Patel, Kaif and Warne. The newspapers and TV here are full of Warne and his world record. I wonder when Murali is next in action ? At last Warne got 5 wkts haul against India... Well if things go well you may want to add Kumble for Day 3 honours... He has already sent back Langer and Hayden and with 26 overs still left, you never know... Cheers, V i V e K ...

The Turning Point to the match was provided by Anil Kumble with a beautiful googley which shattered the wickets of Adam Gilchrist... An unsual bowl from Kumble as he rarely bowls to that line of out side legstump (he bowls mostly on middle and legstump) and this was a surprise delivery pitched outside legstump (usually Shane Warne bowls to this line).. I would call it Kumble's Bramhaastra, which he uses once in years.. and today it worked to the perfaction... Although the game is still open, but India has a definite edge now.. all eyes on tomorrow

one observation last wicket of india kaif hits the ball -attempts a run - but slips-zaheer meanwhile gets to the strikkers end-kaif cannot get up-the ball comes from the fielder and gilchrist knocks the bails at the strikers end- the indian first inning is over???-but zaheer was in the crease where they removed the bail. did i see less?? |

Not really.. Actually Kaif had a support in the form of Runner as Yuvraj Singh... Both the runners (Zaheer and Yuvraj) were safe in the crease at their respective ends, unfortunately Kaif forgot that he had a runner and he too ran for the run and at the time gillchrist took off the bails, Kaif was out side the crease.. hense Kaif was out.. as Yuvi was the runner for Kaif, as Kaif was outside his crease, he could have been given run out at either of the ends... Hope this clarifies the situation Pavan |

After the end of D4, Game poised for a fantastic finish...I think India still has a better chance tomorrow.. the only thing the players require is the application of their mind (which has been missing in last few months)..
For me the chances on theresults are as below Indian Winning 50 % Aussies Winning 30% Draw 10 % Tie 10% The worrying factor is the Aussie's percentage in on rise with every day... All eyes on D5. Pavan |

All depends on how openers do... If Sehwag stays till lunch I guess he can take the game away from Aussies provided someone stands with him at other end

I don't want to sound like the prophet of doom, but the next day may well be Shayne Warne's finest, on the dustbowl of Chennai.
If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

It does n't seem like you have been keeping yourself abreast with the pitch condition of Chennai. The track seems to be relaid and it surely is not the dust bowl this time, unlike in the past. The bounce is uneven but the pitch is still firm and has not generated cracks or crumbled into dust. If it were, Bhajji and Anil would have caused havoc in second inning and especially the likes of Gillespie would have been seen as a monkey on a hot tin roof. Shane Warne is a spent force and a non entity for Indian batsmen. Most prophetically, I'd like to predict an emphatic Indian win. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living". I fear if I examined it, then according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle it would somehow change. After all, we are just particles.

Buhuhu.... It has been raining since morning. Damn, Indra, when we needed you in Bangalore to pour then you didn't and now when we were about to square the series, you had to show your cruel face.
It has been raining buckets acc. to cricinfo and even if it stopped now, the play would nt start before lunch. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living".

@#$^& Rain
What a fantastic finish it would have been. It was good to see 18 runs scored off that master sledger Glen MacGrath in just 2 overs. Anil |

With rain ruining this test, we now will have to win both of the remaining tests...
Any changes in team? I would still like Zaheer to be dropped... Cheers, V i V e K ...
