ODI's are my favourite. Still requires skill and endurance. I got to at least 1 at the G a year. Will go to 2 world cup games this year

Gee the Sydney crowd are a bit low... Watto deserved a better send off than that in his last test.

With a 350 run lead, bat a little in the morning (10 - 15 overs) and then put them in and give yourself a chance for the win.

Ashwin has taken 4 already, so the pitch might break up a little more for Lyon to tear through them tomorrow afternoon.

My bet is he'll declare overnight. Good chance to test Kholi, if he's any sort of captain he'll have a dig & go for it in which case the aussies could clean up. If the aussiez bat it will likely only be for a couple of overs so they can goad Kohli & hope his ego will get the better of him. Apart from the captain the indians can be a bit fragile under pressure & might just capitulate.
Thats my bet anyway

With the Indians this summer, when you get 1 out, often you get another very soon...

What to got the break through... He'll get another series.  ;D

Vijay plumb LBW on 46, hitting middle & leg.... Not sure what Umpire Kettlebourgh was looking at (or getting paid) to not give that out!

Yes he was plumb on that one, but be sure to check out the plenty of correct decisions he has made as well.  Easily the best umpire getting around at the moment. 

About time India got a dodgy decision to go their way...

That decision was a howler! He is a paid professional.

I agree he has made many very good decisions this series, however, this particular decision could not have been any easier for him to give out..

human error.  you've never made one?   :angel:

i would much rather the quick decisions (even some wrong ones) than the junk that is the DRS.

brings back the human element and the drama of test cricket.

I prefer the accuracy of science. Give me the DRS any day. It removes howlers like this from the game, which could easily change the result.
