Good start, should give the guy's to follow a good feeling.

Wow pretty fast 50.

broadbat · « **Reply #42 on:** October 17, 2008, 04:49:59 AM »

If the new ball does not work for Australia then they are in serious trouble. Imagine White against Sehwag?

justforkix · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2008, 04:50:34 AM »

At this rate, we can declare towards the end of today with 1/2 hour left

teamindia · « **Reply #44 on:** October 17, 2008, 04:52:11 AM »

They usually qualify those with a 'But you will have to bowl well'

and Sehwag spoils it with a 4 on the first ball after drinks

WicketView · « **Reply #51 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:11:43 AM »

Well, in such flat tracks it is crucial that Sehwag scores heavily .... only he can pile up runs a rate fast enough to put pressure on the opposition in good time.

broadbat · « **Reply #52 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:12:44 AM »

This must be the most attacking Test opening combo for India so far.

broadbat · « **Reply #53 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:14:07 AM »

Ok thats that Sehwag out.

LosingNow · « **Reply #54 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:16:36 AM »

Viru loses out on an easy 100...

So much for those hopes.

Was he out? The CI commentator says he needs to look at the replay.

LosingNow · « **Reply #57 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:17:54 AM »

if you stay on this wicket.. you will score a 100.

WicketView · « **Reply #58 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:19:49 AM »

Lee back to take a shot at the new batsman.

broadbat · « **Reply #59 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:20:45 AM »

According to CI, it pitched outside leg and went further down, but Lee celebrated.

15.1 Lee to Gambhir, no run, appeals straightaway for a leg before but Asad rauf is unmoved, it was pretty obvious it was missing leg, for starters it pitched outside leg and angled down the leg side, Lee started celebrating immediately

gouravk · « **Reply #63 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:23:34 AM »

lee shud be bloody booked for dissent he started celebrating before looking back to appeal.

broadbat · « **Reply #64 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:26:40 AM »

In such cases the umpire should have the option of declaring the bowler out!

Well, I did mention that in the Test 1 match thread - Lee never appeals. He only celebrates

SMG riling the Aussies - says if Aussies have just one slip and deep square leg and deep cover, it is all different tactics and plan B and never a defensive mindset

According to CI RD survived a scare.

And I thought crowd turnout was poor in Bangalore !!!! Mohali turnout is just HORRIBLE !!!!

Test Cricket in India should only be played in Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. Other venues don't deserve test cricket as people there don't seem to be interested in watching it !!!

Blore crowd was pretty decent.. given that it was a long weekend, most people would have disappeared to the nearest holiday destinations...

Seriously, PATHETIC TURNOUT !!! Mohali SHOULD NOT be given any mroe tests !!!!

From cricinfo comments:
"Sensex down 227 points so far today. Let's hope that's the reason for the low turnout."

Huh !! If sensex is down , more people will watch the match unless he /she is a bear in the market
