OBSERVATION: The Aussies whilst struggling with the bat in this test - has a problem or two with the bowling. It's easy to say the two problems are no Warne and no McGrath. But the problem is there is no quality spinner to hold down one end. That and the fact the Aussies aren't working at the ball in the field between balls, the Indians are. There is no reverse swing or swing at all. The indians are just picking them off at will. Brett Lee is struggling. First solution: - FFS Work on the ball alot more (one one side) - enable it for the quicks to get 'some' swing and uncertainty for the Indian batsman. Second solution: - Get a quality spinner into the line-up, drop White. Third: - Occupy the crease with the bat and FFS concentrate. Fourth: - Don't bowl too short too often. Fifth: - Siddle give that slower delivery the arse. They're just waiting for it.

Yes great batsman, one of the best of all time, if not the best (next to the Don of course). Siddle just got him caught in slip off a great catch from Matthew Hayden for I think 88. Congrats to Tendulkar on his achievement. Congrats to Hayden on a fantastic catch, and congrats to Siddle on first Test wicket. That's a big scalp. Bill Lawry would be over the moon as a Victorian. White gets his 1st test wicket in the 1st Test of Tendulkar, Siddle his 1st Test wicket in the 2nd Test - none other than Tendulkar. They're both Victorian to boot!! Go Vics!

Nick Jewell 164. Not a bad start to the season indeed, by the Vics.

Interesting re: Kumble. He bowled terrible in the test. VICS off to a flyer and in form, 0/88 in their opening dig.

29? Geez he looks 40! Incidentally the Vics are 0/29 in their Sheffield Shield campaign in the game against Sth Aust in Adelaide.

sehwag...

MS Dhoni would be the next Captain in the second test. Is Kumble standing down immediately, Juice?

The bad light rule is nothing more than frustrating, especially when the Aussies were putting on the slower bowlers - White and Clarke.

5/314. M.Hussey is a legend.

Michael Clarke needs his head read. Why scramble for a single with 7 balls remaining for the day to retain the strike. Out in the last over. LBW. Frustrating.

Swab him. So, Man U have been dominated in each of the games he has reffed in. Just a coincidence.

Careful. Otherwise it will be Tata! And certainly no... Bang Goal!

Spot on. They will really miss Berbatov and Keane, they're leading goal scorers last season...

Spurs on bottom...

I'm sure many people will. I certainly am and I know others have pledged to donate on a monthly basis....

True. Chelsea just keeps on keeping on...... I see Vidic got red carded, to miss the clash against Chelsea too. Sir ALex will have to lower his blood pressure for this clash. It could well be two on the trot!

Howzat - 6 Bangladeshi's have walked out of their nation's side to play in the Indian League! Is it the death of the Bangladeshi's!?

Bingo. Good win. Man U looking a bit shaky. They need Ronaldo asap. West Ham, what happened? I see Neill scored. But a loss to West Brom?!

C.Ronaldo will start back in October and still win the Golden Boot IMO. He's that good.

Geoff Lawson has left Pakistan it was reported on SEN this morning.

New tally, almost $3.1 million. Received this from Members E-mail update: $3,086,462. Keep it going Dees!

Will SYmonds play this summer for AUstralia? <_<

Unfortunately they have to talk about something. They were probably referring to the struggling Aussie batsman in comparison to the recent high standards our Aussie batsmen have been setting. It's out of season for them anyway. Watching cricket this time of the year whilst Footy Finals are on is like watching paint dry. PS. 45, what happened to your Demon logo? I miss it...
