To get a result 20 wickets have to fall in 2 days. I smell a draw.

The bookmakers are backing a draw as well.

A win for Aust would equal Steve Waughs winning streak.

Because of the time zone problems, I have missed all of the action. Can't get up so early in the morning.

But from what I've heard, Sachin scored a century after a long, long time. Good to know. Looks like Indians have finally gotten acclimatized to the Australian conditions.

And I've a keen eye on the Roy-Bhajji head-to-heads.

Re: betting.

No big deal, really. Cricket betting is a billion dollar business in the Sub-continent.

IMO, cricket (and I mean, T20) is just a decade away from monopolizing the sport industry. Give it a chance, ICC.

Long on is my favorite, too, Dadpad. Did I ever mention I am disastrous at fielding? I'd really make a fool of myself if I stood at, say, point or mid on.

The "monkey" is tying India in knots. I'd also like them to try it when there's not several million people watching. Symo would knock the skinny little pr!cks into next week.

Roy dropped a sitter today.

We can win this! 6/137 last session.

Another doubtful/suspect decision by Steve Bucknor on Ganguly caught by Clark at 2nd slip.
A referal to the 3rd umpire would have resulted in a "benefit of the doubt" decision.

YES!

That was soooooo sweet. One of the best. 16 straight, and now they go to the W.A.C.A.

Hey come on we both had the same umpires. Sometimes they fall your way sometimes they go the other way.

I understand the thing with LBs; they are a judgement call, but what about the Sourav catch? It could have saved us the match.

And what about the first innings?

I think the umpiring decisions alone have shaped the match result.
