It’s getting hard to watch the cricket, the ground is covered by a white sticky liquid, it seems to be coming from the commentary box.
But through the mess I still saw some things.
Sehwag looked lost once the runs dried up, this happened to clash with Lee bowling a great come back spell and Sehwag playing a too close to cut/back foot drive/swipe with feet off the ground to slip.
Hogg was being played like the part timer he is, the Indians easily scoring off him, so then the chairman of the save the tongue foundation donated his wicket again.
Ganguly wasn’t happy with the decision, he was a long way down the wicket, but it was a swipe across the line from a straight one.
Hawkeye said it was flicking the bails, but hawkeye says everything is flicking the bails. Even Tony Greig is bagging it now. It look likely to hit the stumps half way up, even if it had 4 more metres to travel.
Then again I am biased against Ganguly and I'm a leggie. Then again I'm also biased against Hogg. So its a (c)rapshoot.
Lee bowled a very testing spell and Johnson bowled a good couple of overs just before tea.
The ball has just started to reverse swing and in the last over he got Tendulkar nicking one bounce into the slips.
Clark bowled a very placid spell for him, but as usual wasn’t easy to score from.
Hogg isn’t getting any real spin, and when he is not being recklessly attacked doesn’t look he could find a wicket in a wicket making factory on the most wicket taking day of the year.
Sachin is just going ok, Laxman, looks a little put off by the pace of the wicket.
Could be the sticky stuff.
Beautiful count: 163.

And in the important game the Vics need 10 runs with 4 wickets in hand. And the new ball is just being raised.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
