session update stumps day 3

The two runs added by India after the tea interval certainly helped their cause to no end.

Also their idea of rushing the Australian openers obviously worked a treat at none for 60 at stumps.

India’s best chance of winning this game, assuming that is still their intention, is to get Hayden out.

If he makes a hundred, which he currently looks like doing, India will not be able to bowl Australia out for under 400.

Sure Ponting may fail, Hussey could miss fire, Clarke may fall apart and Roy may do something similar, but the chances of all of them failing while Hayden is smashing them at the other end on a flat track is very limited.

Hayden flattens attacks on flat tracks. It's his speciality. He scores so brutally that bowlers not only forget line and length, but forget their sexuality and their favourite restaurant.

He is just that brutal.

Mind you this is a extremely flat track, even flatter than Keira Knightely, more like that dude from hedwig and the angry inch.

Hayden And Fabulous Phil guided the Aussies pretty easily to stumps.

The rock didn’t swing, so Hayden’s crease position nonsense was not important.

Ganguly fielded a ball at mid off, and went down like an imaginary hand had disrupted his testicles.

He was rolling around in great agony, I thought perhaps he was going to pass a kidney stone, and then when all the attention from his team mates had been won, he got up and waived off the physio.

The dude is just weird.

If the pitch starts to deteriorate one day 3, India are in the box seat, if the wicket falls apart on day 4, could be a ripping match, but if it waits till day 5, then we have a draw on our hands.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
