Sounded like a good match. I work nights on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, so I can never watch the 2nd innings. Have to listen to them on the radio.
Sharma's got to watch out he doesn't get too big for his boots. He's a great prospect but he's not there yet. Can't count the number of players who've had one good tour only to disapear in 2 years.

I'm a bit late but I was out on the weekend to attend some events. I followed the game when India was 130-140 before my sleep got the best of me 
I did stay awake till 4:30AM
As for the result, of all the matches so far you could have counted on Australia to get the bonus point .. easily but it didnt happen and yet India got dangerously close to the mammoth total. +1 Gambhir, its his second century knock of the series, no other player has matched that yet. :lol And in this match, Yuvraj, Tendulkar & Sehwag didnt click .. only if India would sort out their batting like Australia did today, then winning the finals isnt an uphill task anymore.
And India is now taking a leaf out of Australia' book and lodged the compliant. Apparently the Australian cricks neither take verbal abuse sportingly nor admit to it when they are caught red handed for it. :lol :lol
Today's game is on with SL in to bat, crucial for both sides, more for SL.

India threaten another boycott boy it's become a running jokes with these guys it seems. Also the pannel really need to sort themselves out. Dhoni get's away with wearing illegal gloves yet Sharma is fined 15% of his match fee (For what I consider a provication). What a joke...
Anyway Sri Lanka looked solid dare I say threatning early in their innings but collapsed horrbily, which has been story of the series with them thus far. And India look like their crusing for a comfortable win at this point.

Reporting incidents where Aussies provoked first is called showing your ugly ass in the mirror, however some people are so delusional that they consider it as boycott. With the same logic, Aussie called for a boycott when Symonds/Harbhajan issue was reported.
Today's game is much too one-sided for me, not watching it. :|
On a side note:

well done to brett lee on a marvelous year with the ball...
congrats to hoggy for a well accomplished one day career
(its a shame he couldnt do much in the tests...)
and hayden getting charged is a bunch of bullshit and every
aussie cricket fan knows this!!! looks like the CA got extra
money bags by the Board of Corruption Clowns in India
On Hayden getting reprimanded:
"Scarred for life" :lol :lol :lol
From left to right: Ricky Hypocrite Ponting, Micheal Liar Clarke, Andrew Baby Symonds, Matthew Upset Hayden.
And no I dont believe Harbhajan abused Symonds racially in that incident. Harbhajan complimented Lee on the yorker, Symonds provoked and Harbhajan reiterated. Till date, Symonds himself is unsure of what he heard while that little snitch Clarke was caught red handed lying out of his guts by the judge Hansen.
Australian cricks should focus on the cricket rather than carrying a personal grudges and getting reprimanded ..

Just don't look Cyclone... just don't look.
Anyone who wants to listen to Hayden's spray, it's here.
Pretty funny stuff. Sounds like Hayden was a bit hung over from the night before, but the great man calls it as it is. He obviously tailors the message for the light hearted comedic morning show that he was speaking on.

Wow Irfan i have never seen someone so deluded and hypocritical. :lol
You dont have a mirror?
Aussie cricks cant claim the high ground of focussing on cricket and not on controversies when they themselves have stirred the pot and on many occasions, just like Hayden did. Hopefully CA lays down some smack like they did on Hayden so they know shut up and focus on cricket.
As for Hayden's comment about Harbhajan being true, the same could be said of Hayden that many teams dont think of him in high regard either, all these are opinions. However you cant wiggle out of things like hard facts where that Clarke was caught lying..:lol
Today's game will be worth watching only if Jayasuriya or Sangakarra click, otherwise it'll be a one sided affair again. :|

The lesson from the other thread is that he's just not worth the effort speedpop.
Not much fun arguing with someone who has lost all sense of perspective.
In his desperate attempts for attention, Irfan has become a parody of himself... I glance at his posts for a quick chuckle, but they don't even spark an emotional reaction anymore.

Bump this shit, Bracken 4 for 29, quite incredible, would have been better if not for the few quick 4's.
Aussie's 0/31 close call for Hopes almost LBW.
