Surely they wont go home

I would expect Australia will really turn up the heat in Perth and pick Tait ahead of Hogg. I would also think Singh will get a lot of "chin music" when he faces Lee and Tait. Ponting will bring them on the moment he comes out to bat.

And the Indians, after being beaten in 3 days will complain about Tait's bowling action to try to deflect more criticism of another inept performance.

Hogg and Hayden are in doubt for the third test

At least the crowds will be up despite India being 2-0 down - Cricket Aust prob loving this!

QUIZ
How many times was Javed Miandad given out LBW in Pakistan ?

What's that got to do with anything Mal?

It means that Australian teams in the 60/70/and into the 80s were up
against umpires who favoured the home asian teams.[umpires in fear ?]
Australian teams talked about that unfairness publicly but didnt to my knowledge
stoop to asking for umpires to be replaced etc.
This may have been the catalyst to nuetral umpires in all countries ?

Now India is whinging about sledging, suspensions umpiring etc
They got an umpire in South Africa and now in OZ replaced.
For decades these guys had some favourable decisions in thier favour in home tests
The tide has turned and they are reacting like the childish people that they are.

Our cricketers against more hostile parochail crowds had more right to sulk + quit tours
These guys who are revered in thier homelands + treated by kings in our country and act like kids

Yeah, but lumping India with Pakistan in a generalisation is no different from lumping together Australia and NZ. Are the Indian population grumpy with NZ because they got the rough end of the pineapple in Australia last week?
