12.00 Looks like the Ponting-Sehwag conversation seems to have created a monster. Look, we don't know what was actually said. Clearly Ponting was unhappy about something and Sehwag shook his head after that. Let's just all hold fire till the end of the day when, hopefully, one of the two will come out and reveal what was said.
After Sehwag got away with that thick edge, Ponting walked up to him and suggested that he shoud have walked. While he didn't walk when Kumble got him in first test.
36.6 Johnson to Sehwag, no run, edged, and what was that? Asad Rauf was unmoved, Sehwag slashes a short of a length ball outside off and there's a sound as the ball leaves the bat, Haddin and Johnson reckong they have him but Sehwag doesn't move, that could be an error from the umpire's part, the edge looked pretty clear to me.
In Indian's 1st inning Gangule was stumpped out but umpire didn't refer to third umpire.
In first test first inning Hayden was not out.
History is repeating himself. Aussies will realize soon what India suffer in Australia.

Good, especially Azharudin in Artistic players list. Though he is said to be the fixer I always remember his batting.
And above all you are changing the categories. From result oriented you added mass loved. Why?
For a while many people were asking for the retirement of the 4 senior batsmen. Now that Ganguly has announced his retirement and other seniors performing well, the focus has shifted to Kumble. One bad series by Kumble and a good debut by Mishra and everyone thinks we got a replacement for Kumble and he should retire. While we should applaud Mishra's achievements, dont expect too much out of him as it would put unnecessary pressure which may lead him to go the same way as Hirwani and Siva.
Re: Its amazing how the focus now shifted to Kumble

you are absolutely right. not only the 2 u mentioned but many have gone into the wild like this, praveen amre, chauhan, etc., etc., . All the seniors should retire in phased manner to give chance and guide the talented youth not the regional cricketers
