Dear Srinath, With yesterday's start a score of about 450 to 500 seems on the cards. The question is whether we can get Australia out under 400 and then make 250-300 in the second innings. Getting Australia under 400 is hard, but I think a score of 250+ in the 2nd is harder.(wicket will be quicker and firmer). Surprising how the Australian pace attack has taken 7 wickets in the first, 8 wickets in the second and 1 yesterday. You should comment on this and why they are struggling in pacy pitches and overcast conditions. Also why they dropped Bichel. Probably a failed gamble. Also, how should the Indians bowl now and how should Kumble be used. The weather will stay cool one more day then become warmer till it hits 95 on the final day. Again we will turn to Tendulkar and Kumble(and maybe Sehwag). Also we wanted your comments on Sydney and Murali Kartik.
