Christian was there in IPL. He is a good player.

If Australia take a lead of 250 or more they will win the game I think.

It will be tough for india to chase 300+. Also it all depends how veeru plays

[kaustav]

Hussey dropped!!

[Vic Nicholas]

Siddle gone.

I reckon a 350 lead would just about be enought...but not looking like getting there.

[400notout]

Lyon gone lbw

[kaustav]

Game nicely poised I would say: remember chasing in the 4th inning is never easy lads.

[Johnny]

After the way he batted first innings, why move pattinson to 10?

Agree hilfenhaus is a number 11 though!

This pitch is blameless.

I would back India to make up to 300 comfortably.

Australia need 100 plus runs from teh last two wickets...and frankly, that isn't going to happen.

good to see the aussies now have our mid ninties pessamism!
aussies are easily favourites now, but vvs is the best at managing a run chase in the history of test cricket... going to be a great day tomorrow

Theres nothing wrong with the pitch. India should do this easy. This is still a very similar attack to what the Poms destroyed a year ago. Siddle, Hilfenhaus. Lyon isnt much better than Beer. Pattinson is an improvement however.

anything would be an improvement on Mitch!

Mitchell Johnson was so hit and miss it was unreal

Mitchell Johnson was so hit and miss it was unreal

he had the mental weakness of an early 90s England bowler. 

interesting that we're all talking about him in the past tense already!

[petehosk]

Shaping up to be an interesting match! It looks as though India will need to bat at their best in their second innings to stand a chance AND bowl well enough to keep Aus total down!

Well, the bowling well to keep Aus total down has happened! And India are in the game.
Looks like we could be in for another close finish in a Test match!

The Test cricket in recent weeks has been outstanding entertainment, and really shows the value of pitches with a bit of life in them.  I hope that groundsmen/administrators the world over take notice, but fear that it will make no differnence.
