    Too many loose shots from the Indians. Nair, Ashwin and Yadav all should have just dropped the bat on balls they've tried to drive at.

    Hard to score on this pitch and you've got to be very patient - wait for the bad ball.

    I reckon Ashwin might come back in here with a MOTM performance to win it for India with the ball

    Re. Your post on Ashwin - your pessimism knows no bounds. 🙂

    On this one - that's a good sign. Actually, Saha and Ishant are looking relatively comfortable after a foolish flurry of wickets.

    Michael Clarke doesn't think the Indians have enough runs - I don't think they do either. If the Aussies start well and keep their nerve they'll get these comfortably.

    Its hard to be optimistic when you can't see the wicket.

    And we're due a collapse.

    Funnily enough, seeing the wicket isn't that much of a help.

    Started out this morning looking quite bat-able - then suddenly Starc and Hazelwood blew away five Indians and I thought "minefield" - and then it suddenly looked pretty benign again. Saha turned down 10-15 runs, which is costly in itself - due to some shit shots from the lower middle order getting themselves out.

    If the Aussies grind away with a bit of caution they'll get these - four down! Mitch Marsh to hit the winning runs! 🙂

    Hold on 1 down, have to think these 2 will need to score the bulk of the runs for Oz to win.

    Oh - silly Mitch. Gets himself facing on 13 when Oz need 87 to win.

    Even when it's your day you can't do that!

    Little bit of trouble now. 🙂
