i think ganguly is a bit stupid to bat on, even though the bowlers are tired he would have had more chance of winning by not wasting time and batting again. If he would have enforced the follow on yes australia may have made the deficit up but india probably would only end up chasing a very small total, now they have to bowl australia out tomorrow with less time
oh well go aussies!!!!

Gnaguly went for the safe option........i cant see them making enough runs to declare tonight......all the Aussies need are a couple early wickets and the door will be open for them to at the very worst draw the game.

yep i hope the aussies bowl better than the first innings, maybe try bowling at the stumps instead of outside them

Well the good news is Lee MacGill and Bracken can only improve.

India has a pretty long tail so if a couple early wickets fell than you never know.

I think Ganguly will set a target of 5 runs an over for the aussies at the very least. That would mean they would need to be about 450 ahead tonight.....lol

Could this be a Gillespie lead recovery ??

Lee needs to pull his finger out and bowl like a demon and support the bastard who is giving his all for his captain.

Aussies are back in the game at least and this should be a thrilling finale.

ganguly had 2 bowlers, Pathan and Kumble (which is admittedly one more bowler than Waugh seems to have!) To roll the Aussies again, he would've needed Agarkar and Kartik to step up...agarkar's had his day in the sun this series, Kartik must be Hindi for Brett Lee!

hehe, yeah kartik got karted

JLC · Post by **JLC** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 3:18 pm

I think Kartik is a loose translation for Carted....lol

Catches win matches and the Aussies have spilt quite a few this match. Warne would be very handy in the slips area

If his mummy had given him the correct pill, that is. The stay alert one, not the one that makes his tummy look nice or the sleeping one.

gillespi takes a good catch out in the deep off the bowling of macgill india now 2/73

Gillespie is a gun....lol

He can BAT BOWL and FIELD

You certainly are world class Dizzy even if you have a bad hair cut....lol

Dizzy is clearly the number 2 pace bowler in Australia behind McGrath.

Oh and congrats to MacGill on taking a wicket......good to see Dizzy doesnt hold a grudge for MacGill dropping catches off his bowling....LMAO
