the days play today

I didn’t see much of the last session, but I did hear a bit of it.

Funny thing about the radio is they didn’t go on and on every 38 seconds about Radelaide Oval.

So I enjoyed the coverage more.

Gilly dropped Laxman, cost Australia 20 odd runs in real life.

But in cricket terms it cost momentum.

Lee & Johnson continued to bowl well.

Clark continued to be ignored.

And Hogg continued to be the failure I thought he would be.

Sachin Tendulkar must be taking some sort of cricket equivalent to Viagra, because he just keeps making runs.

I saw his first 50, and it wasn’t pretty, but runs is runs.

Dare I say it, but the great Sachin is becoming a probot.

That might be a good thing for the Indians though, because without his probotic innings, they would have cactus.

Dhoni continues to bat like he is on valium, or whatever Dravid is taking.

And Australia could have had a good day, but just didn’t quite get there.

India would be happy with this day, but they need to get the best part of 500 incase the rock don’t swing.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
