I feel India's only chance is to bowl well and hope Australia self destruct.

Of course Ian Botham did not call Strauss a cheat.

Botham does seem to think the England team can do no wrong sometimes. Much like Ian Healy in Australia and Ravi Shastri in India.

After seeing Aus blow a first innings lead of 188 by capitulating for 47 in Sa just recently, NOTHING is a sure thing.

Aus have to make 350 plus to be in with a winning chance because this pitch is playing well.

Unless a miracle happens India will lose the first test as usual. There would have been a little more chance if they were not batting last. I don't think even those lovely bats of the Hosk and our own CD's will be able to save the Indian batsmen from the deteriorating pitch when chasing anything over 225.

Healy is annoying and Taylor cannot commentate.

Botham is generally not too bad and I simply love Bumble. I have a lot of time for Nasser Hussain and Atherton too.

Ravi Shastri biased? No! Perish the the thought!

Shastri, Gavaskar, Ganguly and Harsha Bogla are paragons of unbiased commentry!

Healy is annoying and Taylor cannot commentate.

They both seem like over excited fans. Give me Richie Benaud all day. Only have Channel 9 coverage during Australia's home series' so I'll take the rough with the smooth. Love listening to Warne too. He always seems to want to give added insight, I guess it's something to do with being recently retired/ playing part time.

I love watching the IPL but the commentary just does my head in.

I wish Sky would show 'The Cricket Show' during lunch.

Anyone know anywhere online that I can watch it?

[langer17]

Yeah it was a goner.

I wonder where langer is today; last I heard he had jumped out through his window with joy.

Hahahahaha, lol 

I was actually out so I missed it, but from what I saw we bowled pretty well. Pitched it up and the ball moved just enough to get the wickets.

[kaustav]

What's with all these top edged pulls and hooks today?

[Vic Nicholas]

What's with all these top edged pulls and hooks today?

Maybe extra bounce?

Either way, both batsmen struggling to make contact at all at times.

[kaustav]

Brother Warner gone.

[Wolfie89]

Lovely shot by Marsh to get off the mark, strange decision from Cowan to leave that ball. The match is shaping up nicely now.

[kaustav]

Marsh got mellowed by Yadav.

[langer17]

Bloody hell, Warner and Marsh both play on.

[kaustav]

Hey Langer, what's the injury update on Watson?
