India look like they're gonna beat the Aussies. Yey! However Australia have took a few wickets.

Lead by 363 at tea on day 3, 8 2nd innings wickets down.
If the Aussies can kock the last two over tonight, that gives 'em two days to score 400 or so. Not difficult, provided they don't succumb to idiocy. | |

The way wickets have been going tonight I doubt even the Aussies can last two days on a pitch that's only gonna get harder. No chance of a draw on this one.

I'm just looking at scorecards, so I have no idea how the pitch is playing.
Still, they'll likely go down swinging, so it should be entertaining. | |

It was the bounce that was catching the Indians out. A lot of catches in the slips. I hope that suits the Indian spin attack. Aussies went pretty much with pace.

India finished on 560odd. Aussies pushing 200/1. Lunch on the third day. My money's on a draw as the Indians aint getting any swing and aint much bounce. Very much a batters wicket.

On one hand: one of the most exciting batsmen in the world. Shame I wont see him again
On the other hand: the most annoying voice in cricket and I'm sick of hearing the wee prick shouting "well bowled Warney/Hoggy/Clarkey" every fucking two minutes

One thing I've always wondered - does being a w/k not really fuck up your knees in the long term? | |

Tom used to be a Wa/nK and his knees are fucked. So I'll say yes.

A 200 run 4th wicket partnership with fucknut Ponting and some other Aussie cunt has meant that, with the fourth day coming to a close, Aussies will end up about 600 all out about 50 ahead of India. Draw as fuck probably.

England's tour of New Zealand could well be a fucking cracker if the first couple of days are anything to go by.
Also: India beat Aus at the night/day match and South Africa got something like fourteen million on their opening partnership. Was only against Bangla tho'.
