5th day lunch report

Haddin and Watson went about continuing their tempo, and with Kumble dropping Haddin it seemed possible.

Watson then followed it with a superb on drive off from Sharma, next ball he was bowled plying across the line.

That is the Shane Watson life story.

Cam White came in and batted like he belonged.

So much so that Ponting declared leaving India 299 to win.

Lee started off with great swing, and the proctologist at the other end was all over India.

But India was scoring in boundaries, so it was a good start for them as well.

Then the chances started, Haddin dropped Sehwag on the dive, it was fast, it swung, and Lee would have loved it.

Sehwag then played across one and gave Hayden a catch from Clark.

The chances of India winning dropped by roughly 74.2% at that moment.

Then Rahu Dravid played an attacking shot, infact he smacked one off his pads, unfortunately Ponting still has the ability to take horizontal catches.

So Lee and Clark had one each, and India’s run rate was looking rough.

Then Clark appealed for a ball that wouldn’t have hit any stump, and while Gotham City Gambhir hoped he would be given not out, Haddin threw the stumps down.

Gambhir got back by the smallest bee’s dick on the smallest bee ever.

I hate when batsmen forget about the crease during an LB decision, Watson did it yesterday. Idiots.

From there Gotham City batted like a kitten drowing in a tub of paint, and Ponting seemed to enjoy a bit of verbals with him.

Tendulkar batted quite nicely through to lunch.
