The Indians started this session like teenage boys on red cordial.
Just when I thought Dhoni was going to play one of his innings he got caught slapping a ball to deep point.
Then Clark and Lee slowed them down and worked Tendulkar over until he was gone.
Kumble and Harbhajan strolled to Lunch in such a manner that if Australia make less than 400 in the first innings they should forget about cricket.
Harbhajan seemed a bit reserved, but his straight drive off Johnson was a ripper, reminded me of Neil Johnson at the 99 world cup, for some reason.
This is still a very Keira Knightley pitch, and the fact that Hogg isn’t even bothering the tail means that Kumble or Harbhajan shouldn’t be a big factor today or possibly even tomorrow.
So when Australia eventually get these two out, if the swing doesn’t bother them, it could be a long couple of days for India.
But if the ball swings and Hayden doesn’t make big runs, India will be in a good spot.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
