Looking good, 190 odd in front with 4 wickets in hand at the end of day 3. Bat most of the next session, get up to a 250+ lead and get India in for 20 mins before lunch. Monty and Swanny ought to get plenty out of this deck now, judging on how it turned in the last hour of today.

Definately ask for the heavy roller tomorrow to really break the surface up.
even 30 tomorrow morning could be enough.

good performance today.

Still mindful of the Australia turn over though...

key thing was making India field again in the morning - the mental battle should be pretty much won by now.

I'm going to keep going back to it and count the Indian fanboy comments. Could be a real tumbleweed moment lol

I, being an Indian, disagree with the statement "One of these days, India will admit they have become an ordinary side. That currently they are arguably the worst bowling unit in the world, bar Bangladesh" in the article. I think Bangladesh are better than India as a bowling unit at current time.

There is a bit of difference between a line up featuring peak versions of Laxman, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid and one featuring out of form versions of Tendulkar, Kohli, Singh and over the hill, fighting against the dying of the light versions of Sehwag and Gambhir.  Quite aside from which, a peak Harbhajan when allowed to blatantly chuck his wrong un has a bit more threat than anything this Indian side possess...
