3RD TEST IN V AU + chatter

[mal]

Gambhir banned for 1 match

s***t they will ban the rest of the tour !
Even though he is Indian , that is a woeful suspension on face value
WATTO has got him out twice this test !

Kumble drops a catch, and off the ground with a split webbing

Meanwhile
DHONI and KUMBLE still have not taken a wicket in this series

1/187

Rubbish mal. He deliberately made physical contact with an opposition player. He deserves at least a one game suspension. You simply do not make contact with an opposition player ever.

RUBBISH ?
He WILL play in the 4th test if not injured
The Indian hierachy WILL squeal and he will get off for the next test
There will be a riot of a double centurion does not play for tickling Shane Watsons tummy

What he did was silly but he will get off

[Zulu]

If you should never make physical contact with another player out on the ground, why isn't Katich up on a charge for grabbing Gambhir when he tried to set off for a run? Simple enough answer, because it was a minor incident, and not worthy of being taken any further. The same with the Watson/Gambhir incident in my book. If anything, it should teach Watto to keep his mouth shut in future, and not constantly sledge a bloke who has achieved far more in his cricket career already than Watson is likely to.

If I was India, I would appeal the suspension too, and use every available option to ensure a key player can front up next test if possible. Australia would do the same, if the situations were reversed.

I am surprised to see no comments on here about Ponting's possible stumping off Mishra before tea. It looked very much like he had his foot on the line to me, and yet Billy Bowden didnt refer it to the 3rd umpire. This type of incident with Ganguly nearly started a riot in here last test, yet nothing has been mentioned about Ponting's incident.

PONTING LBW shout not out AGAIN
Geez he has been lucky this series with LBWs
But then again it makes up for the rough ones Matt the Bat has had

ZULU/ROD ROOSTER
The Indians have appealed against the suspension on GAMBHIR.
This is GAMBIHIRs 2nd offence, hence the suspension
Without a shadow of doubt if this was his 1st offence he would have been reprimanded

Im still tipping he WILL play next Test
The Indians will complain and get him off for the 4th test

2/244

Who knows they might get the New Zealand Judge over

Obviously this pitch deteriorates significantly on days 4/5
How else could a curator produce a pitch like this

There was no way that should have been out, outside the line. Doesn't matter now.

[hearts on fire]

Well done Matty Hayden, great to see him back in some sort of form!

[the wonder elephant]

[Thiele]

Aus 3/294

Ponting the last man out for 87

[hearts on fire]

A bit disappointed that some of our guys are falling just short of the ton, but i am also pleased that they are making some decent scores..... we need someone to go on and make a big ton though.

[the wonder elephant]

Hussey NEEDS to make a HUGE ton, maybe a double ton would be nice......

[Thiele]

Cheers Thiele.

Overall, a pretty decent day for the Aussies, i am quite pleased with that.

Hopefully tomorrow we can progress and hunt down this mammoth Indian total!

[Dirko]

Hopefully tomorrow we can progress and hunt down this mammoth Indian total!

No chance. Watto was lucky not to be out. We'll be all out by Lunch. The Indians will bat for a day, declare about 400 in front
and bowl us out.....
