Will someone tell Sehwag it's lunch time......fool.

Last over before lunch..wild swing and a miss outside off. Why? WHY?!
20/20 rubbish has got a lot to answer for...
No it doesn't..Sehwag has played this way long before T20.
O.K then...T-ball....what ever it is, this opening style by Warner & Sehwag should be left in the locker...
Agreed, especially when there are just 3 overs left to lunch and he hasn't even got his eye in yet.
Typical Gambhir dismissal..fending high outside off
Some calm restored with Dravid at the crease!
God, Sehwag coulda been out about 5 times by now.
Even though he's on 40, he still looks quite uneasy and likely to give away his wicket
Seehwag is more settled now, could be a big score....
Well played half century. Needs to push on from here and get a big score.
Defo Indias day. Sachin still on 99 but Indian bowling looks so much better now that the leader of the pack Khan is bowling. They just need to get rid of Ishant and they will have a effective foursome.
India has done very well Down Under in the last decade and I expect them to win this series.Clarke is slightly too defensive and the field setting shoulf have been a bit more aggressive during Dravid and Tendulkar stand
Zaheer is looking very fit at the moment too, looks like the time off has done him some good. Yadav too looks really impressive and should improve under Zaheer.
The first session today may well detiremen who is going to win this test.
2 - 3 wickets for 70 runs or 1 wicket for 100 runs.....
I feel India will need 400 - 420 to win, batting last will be difficult to chase runs...

Rabbitohs, the MCG drop in pitches don't deteriorate that much. Can't see why batting last will be particularly difficult against this attack.
Still, they will want at least a lead of 70/100 given the position they're in.
This drop-in wicket is 5 years old now and cracks are starting to appear....nothing huge but cracks just the same..
Re; Tendulkar, not sure if your telecsat showed it or not, Tendulkar got a huge reception when he walked out into the middle with everyone on their feet clapping the entire time until he reached his mark...
Sometimes good sportsmanship gets lost in amongst the ugly stuff...well done to the cricket fans in Melbourne....hopefully the same gratitude will be shown in the other states, I'm sure it will.
With Tendulkar getting out, it has cost the MCG 20,000 spectators more then likely..
The groundsmen said they got new pitches every year...and as a result they don't deteriorate how he would like.
They may well have got new drop-in pitches this year, but this one is five years old.......they don't replace all of them at once.
