1ST TEST: India v Australia Mohali Oct 1-5

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

LOL, is this the same locky that was saying that Dougie will be sh*t in this test? lol. A few things; people bitching about the umpiring, don't... it went both ways, we were lucky to get Sharma out, and cmon, that was the more valuable wicket... he was in and could hold a bat. Kind of reminds me of Dizzy actually, both with the ball, the bat and in stature/hair. Ponting is one of the worst captains going around, i have said this from when he was appointed, finally his performances have made this indisputable. I like North, i know i'm a rarity... I'd rather drop Hussey first, because like it or not, at times North threatens more than Hauritz. I would bring in Smith for Hauritz... beef up our batting a little, and Hughes in for Hussey (Watson drops down the order in order to bowl more.)

Kat
Hughes
Ponting
Clarke
North
Watson
Paine
Smith
Johnson
Hilfenhaus
Bollinger

Thats a pretty deep batting line-up... with Watson dropping down and bowling more, the swap of Hauritz for Smith won't be as noticed.

I would hardly call the first test' a raging turner PB, Harby only got 2 more wickets, Ojha got the same amount. The quicks would ahve got 80% of the wickets for both sides!

Who did? :?

Watson will never bat at no6 again, he is a top 4 batsman, period. Ponting has said this, teh selectors have said it, Watson has said this. He won't be moving!
