Does anyone know if there are any sites providing audio commentary of this game? or of any Indian radio stations covering it?

7/348 at drinks. Bit of a grind but thats fine. The bloody pitch looks worse than my backyard. Although I believe I'm a top class curatior, I seriously havent been out there in a while or actually laid grass........you things to do busy busy. Back to the pitch, cant believe how bad it is. I dont believe for a second our spinner(s) will strike much fear into the Indians, but a few of the quicks hitting that pitch with a hard seam might cause a creator!

119.1
Jadeja to Clarke, OUT, Clarke has finally got out. And the wicket comes - as Dhoni has been expecting for hours - through a mistake by the batsman. Clarke skips down the track, is not close to the pitch of the ball, but goes ahead with an attempt to loft it straight down the ground. The ball turns, and hits the outside half of the bat, and Clarke holes out to long-off
MJ Clarke c Kumar b Jadeja 130 (246b 12x4 1x6) SR: 52.84

120.6
Harbhajan Singh to Siddle, OUT, Bhajji finally gets a wicket in his 100th Test. Finally Sehwag takes a catch. He has worked Siddle out well. After that slow doosra, he bowls full and fast, and Siddle guides this to slip. Sehwag is awake, and Harbhajan has a wicket, who looks towards the skies in sheer relief
PM Siddle c Sehwag b Harbhajan Singh 19 (94b 2x4 0x6) SR: 20.21

It's not out turban head ... move on FFS

Spinners have taken all 9 wickets,

pacemen have 0/110 (28 overs)

The most nervous man in world cricket right now will be Inverarity, this next innings may make or break his career as a cricket selector. F**k i hope we bowl them out cheaply!!!! I hate India!

Great first innings total!!!

And piss of Harbhajan, use are the ones who dont want DRS so put up with the bad ones!

[dedja]

It wasn't a bad one ... brilliant decision by the umpire

[dedja]

Are the Indians going to spit the dummy and threaten to go home over 'bad' decisions ... oh, hang on

[whufc]

It wasn't a bad one ... brilliant decision by the umpire

[dedja]
