session update day 4 - stumps

Wickets actually fell in the last session, reminded me of drew barrymore.

So some god/allah/lronhubbard type force pushed the imaginary snooze button and the test is like a match again.

Australia’s tail made batting look hard, whether that is because the pitch is hard to bat on, or whether they were rudely awaken by more than 2 wickets falling in the session, I’m not sure.

Australia ended up 30odd in front. Probably could have got more, but they seemed a bit over batting.

It’s like ice cream, a lot of it is nice, but with too much you feel ill and have trouble pooing.

Pathan bowled his 36 overs and then trotted out to miss a straight one off Johnson, but to be fair he probably didn’t expect a ball on the stumps from Mitchell.

The Indians either decided to play for close, or the wicket was a little trickier.

Mind you facing Lee on a driveway in this form would be hard. Especially if the drive way was paved like Simes is.

Lee had Sehwag, at least once with an edge to second slip, where Michael Clarke let it hit him on the belly.

Then he had a very close LBW shout, is was probably half and half, but being that he should have already got him out it must have done his nuts in.

Being that the part of the test where both teams were on valium is over, tomorrow may be some kind of day.

If India were 2/40 it might have been very interesting tomorrow, as it is, it would take a collapse of English proportions to lose from here.

My question is, do India have the courage of the old dart to lose this match?www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
