6.10 A.M.
This Test match is likely to have dreary death if India fails to take wickets in a heap.
Already the pitch has been blamed for India's lack of success. The Kotla curator has pointed his finger at Daljit Singh the BCCI's representative, saying he is to be blamed for the placid nature of the pitch.
Which brings us to the question, why the Indian's failed to bowl out the Australian's on turning track. One cannot blame the absence of Kumble,he had already bowled 17 overs and gone wicket less before he cut his hand trying to latch on to catch. This is a failing often noticed - on a turning track the Indian bowlers struggle - what they need is spiteful track.
If you noticed most Australian batsmen got of to a good start but none as yet has scored a century. Can we label this as a psychological victory?

If Australia play till lunch the match will end in a draw. We will be forced to choose a time for declaration.
this has been disturbing fact of late...we cant even bowl opposition out on turning track...and its in a way is directly proportional to the kumble's form which is sinking like titanic...
if i were kumble i would seriously ask one question to myself...
what more i can get if i am to play next two matches or so....
hayden's the reason.
R,
Your words have come true.
Pan,
Asking the seniors to introspect is like asking for the moon. For all his faults, Ganguly was the only one to introspect and retire.
NC,
Absolutely. Hayden killed our bowlers spirit.
Now Aussies may go for a win by bowling their heart out. If they dismiss us before lunch on the fifth day we had it.Any lead less than 200 will be chased down.
R,
I have echoed the very same thoughts in my latest posts.
