Re: Australia in India
Yet if the Aussies do fail to bowl out the Indians twice, there will be 1 player blamed, even though for India it was the pace bowlers who did the damage

Re: Australia in India
I don't hate White, I just think he needs to work on his game, particularly on his bowling in order to warrant a spot full time. White is a decent batsman and has the ability to score very, very quickly. His bowling is more part-time, those saying he should be picked for his bowling are kidding themselves, there's no way White should be a front-line spinner, his bowling just isn't good enough.
Im my opinion, White is stuck between all-rounder and proper batsman. His batting is just below the standard required to gain a place full time on the Australian side and his bowling isn't good enough to warrant being picked as an all-rounder. At the moment, he's a batter who bowls a bit. One-Dayers will always be White's game I reckon, he would have to have a great season with the bat for Victoria to be in the selector's minds about being picked as a batter for the test side. Having said that, I'm okay with him being in the one-day team.

Re: Australia in India
Lee strikes in the second over of the day. A quick delivery swinging from outside off, Gambhir tries to work it away but he is too early and the ball straightens and hits him right in front.
Gambhir gone for 21, and India are now 1/70. Dravid is the new batsman.

Johnson!! Johnson gets rid of the dangerman Sehwag. Full and wide outside off-stump and Sehwag flays at it with a drive but only gets an edge to Hayden at first slip. Silly shot from Sehwag but Johnson's move to around the wicket proves to be an effective one.
2/76 now, Dravid up to 5. Tendulkar walks to the crease.

Re: Australia in India
Oh Johnson again!! A slower ball from over the wicket to Tendulkar, the ball was nice and full with Sachin completely misjudging it and he pops the ball up to give Cam White his first catch in test cricket.
Tendulkar is out for 13, India are 3/94 and this match just became a little more interesting. Laxman in now.

Re: Australia in India
Watson gets a wicket. Manages to swing one to Dravid and looked plumb but Dravid's disappointed reaction suggests he may have hit it first. The replays disagree, showing the ball probably hit the pad first.
Nonetheless, Dravid is out for a fighting half century (51) and that gives Watson some much needed confidence.
India slip to 5/155 with Dhoni the last of the recognised batsman to come in.
