The wicket came at a very good time for Australia, just before the new ball.

Wasnt there a forecast for rain?..lol

Ok-- that one; sorry for a moment I was thinking about something about the English tour. Yes, that was an interesting incident indeed to say the least. That was a big one while at the same time quite complicated. He did stick with his mates while I understand how the Aussies might have been hurt by his stance. By the way, if you don't know, 'monkey' is a petty insult for Indians; it has absolutely no racial undertone. Just like Thumbs Up in Indian terms would mean 'thenga' or zero, nada and is actually quite negative.... But the fact that Bhajji was involved in that incident makes it a bit more complicated

22 years of hard work and that 'controversial' incident made him a absolute villain....that is really sad.

What do you then think about Greg Chappell, Lillee, McGrath etc? 

Completley different era for Chappell and Lillee, MacGrath and Hayden I found typical bullies, loved dishing it out but couldn't cop it back, unlike Waugh and warney.

I think Shane Warne is the most loved Aussie player in India. I agree with you--- he could give it as well as he could take it; awesome thinking competitor.

McGrath vs Sarwan -- don't we all love this game 

Laxman gone; come on, make the opposition bat one more time even if they have to score 1 run to win 

[Number4]

Well well look who has got another wicket Hilfie

[langer17]

Hillfenhaus had no idea he had bowled Laxman, then didn't know that Dohni had scooped it up to him for a caught and bowled, lol.

[kaustav]

Good bowling! Even better batting 

Well played Australia--- you guys deserved to win.

Back to the drawing board for the guys from India----in a big way 

[langer17]

Australia win and another 5 for Hillfenhaus.

Looks like being dropped and going back to his old action has paid off. He is also fitter than last season. Good dilema Australia now have with Harris and Cummins to come back.

Good to see Australian fast bowling department getting stronger and making boys compete for the spot.

He is under the illusion Australia are the only team that dosen't walk, walking is the exception rather than the rule for all countries, the tit for tat would be endless and has nothing to do with my reasons for not being a fan of Tendulkar.

I'm under no such illusion

Pattinson is out for the next month with a fractured metatarsal.

Neither you should be when dhoni (who I like) stands for a replay of an obvious return catch. According to you he should have walked? Anyway, the Indians will get absolitely pumped in Perth, got my seats booked, can't wait.

[awp]

That is a blow, but sounds like he was going to be rested anyway.

[lazza32]

where do you play awp?

[awp]

Mate I'm an old fart long since hung 'em up, enjoy the odd social run these days...

I didn't see it, but if he thought he was out, he should have walked, yes
The Aussies are right on top and pumped up for a big series win.  It's a shame about Pattinson, as he's made a superb start to his career and sincerely hope it doesn't affect him too much going forward
