Umpire Ian Gould would now have to play a crucial role for Australia, give at least 5 Indian top order batsmen out when they are not if Australia are to win the next one.
Umpire Ian Gould did a valiant job today for Australia by declaring Ishant Sharma out lbw on a delivery going down leg side and missing all stumps but his effort came in a bit late.
Hopefully for Aussies, Ian would practise more and try to declare top order Indian batsmen out on every appeal if Aus wants to level series.

India was also missing Gavaskar and Kapil Dev.
What are you trying to say by pulling retired players?
Talk about current players and teams.
If Aus was playing without Gilli, Haydos and warne, they were not playing with eight players.
I think more relavant things to discuss are the umpiring decisions, the way Sachin/Sehwag got out in second innings and the way Raina is giving chances regularly

What whould you say during the time of Gilli, Warne, Hayden, if somebody says that with them Aus can never be champion(Indeed it's true).

IF NO WARNE, NO HAYDEN FOR AUS, IT WAS NO KUMBLE NO GANGULY FOR INDIA.

Also, do not forget Australia won the toss and had the great advantage of batting first.

India too is without Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, Gundappa Vishwanath, Bedi., Chandrasekhar and Prasanna!!

Common ! This is all loosers talk. How dou you know that India will loose without these three u mentioned. Certainly in ODI they are playing without Dravid and VVS and still in 2nd place. In the contemporary indian cricket there are many youngsters who can replace Dravid and Lax and still win. So if you loose don't finger and whine. You are saying with out Gilli, Hayde, Warne....don't you see the inrony there (Of course implies with out them Aus can't win...fighting doesn't matter, it's win that counts. Aus is in ICC 4th rank and not even close to India in number of points). You are saying the same reason against what you are with Aus.

HEy are you a BJP supporter?Because like the BJP "chaddi" party even you are in the retirement era. Hayden,Warne,Mcgrath have retired and many of them were shown the door!after the ashes loss.And do you even remember how Warne was thrashed around in India and how even with Mcgrath,Warne,Gillispie Hayden Gilchrist and the rest the aussies were defeated by this team.The aussies have met their match.The current IND team depite bad decisions went on to win and this is the true fighting spirit not what the aussies are showing now by talking about reitred players 3-4years after their retirement.That is looser spirit!!Just like you LOOSER

Cool:
a) Thanx for showing your Chaddi arguments. THAT just comes naturally to your Abhishek Manu Singhvi style... right? :) b) Bad decisions were not just there for India. So spare us more Manu Singhvisms c) No one is Looser here. You seem to be "Tighter" though... :)

This is essentially the problem. Saala never will be satisfied. Its a super win against a good professional team and you cant still enjoy it. Start respecting VVS and Sachin now, and stop kissing the behinds of our YOUTH BRIGADE.Talent is talent despite any age.
There are many persons who have underrated laxman.But he is always a match winner and plays for the team not for record.Good Going Laxman.You have added salt to Aussies Wound yet again.Best of luck for your future contributions.Also try to give some tips to Andhra Youngsters .
Re: Laxman is Great
by Kaka on Oct 05, 2010 11:24 PM
Both teams played well, but India got there due to some lots of spirit and a little bit of luck. Good that the rivalry has become so clsoe, good for the game
Re: Laxman is Great
by Rakesh Narayan on Oct 05, 2010 11:16 PM
Why tips to only Andhra guys, he should give tips to every Indian player. We look at him as an Indian and this team is Indian.

hey koool buddy..... so the whole of india is revolving around ram and lakshman at the moment..... lol :)
There was a lot of talk before(as always) by them about targetting our batsmen with short pitched bowling, while forgetting that our guys have 50 plus averages both home and abroad. Since 2001 India have always had the better of Aus(who created records thank to playing mainly eng,windies and nz), and whenever they lost it was due to dubious circumstances.Proof? Nagpur in 2004(victim of board politics), sydney 2008(needs no reminding) nad WC final(bowlers had an off day). We have series wins in 2001,2008, drawn series in 2004 etc. Hauritz wont be able to get into a ranji team, and while bollinger and johnsona re good competitors, can they show the skill that Zak showed in reverse swing?? Aus is a team in decline and their supporters better accept that they belong to no4 or 5, and not No1, which India has had since a year almost.

by Azzrooddin on Oct 05, 2010 09:02 PM
HeHe. They are not in decline buddy. They were never number 1. Got it? Wait for the world cup, when all my favorite pakistan, S. AFrica, english teams are there. Everything will be managed. Got it?
Re: India have always dominated Australia!
by Abhijit Nair on Oct 06, 2010 08:52 AM
Get lost from here.Indians were exposed to Short pitched bowling in this test as well.Hauritz won a almost lost test in SCG .Bowlers having off day is dubious circumstances? Get a life first

Sandeep Kumar:
:) A team comprising of below Ranji level players brought our MIGHTY Indian team on its knees which needed a miraculous rescue mission from an injured batsman and a resolute tail ender? :)
I liked the joke... :) So in your opinion we should be sending our Ranji team instead of this "can barely beat a Number 4 or 5 team" that everyone seems to be currently boasting about... eh? :)
Re: India have always dominated Australia!
by Sameer on Oct 07, 2010 09:33 AM
so according to you, the substandard aussie bowlers almost came within a wicket off a win and still are on a decline and deserve 5th ranking as opposed to india ?
Zaheer Khan did reverse swing , hmmm in 1 match so far. I don't get you guys. You people always jump the gun. then you get shot in the face and then you find someone else to blame for you getting shot.
bollinger and johnson are good competitors ? yeah sure
wonder where that leaves harbhajan/ ojha/ ishant/ sreeshanth/ ( am tempted to add zaheer to this list) ?
Bollinger and johnson are frankly much superior bowlers. we would be an excellent team if we get the club level fast bowlers from australia. Thats how bad our bowling team is
Courtesy VVS,India rallied from 126 for 8 to record a nail-biting 1 wkt victory.In Kolkata test it was Steve Waugh and here in Mohali it was Ricky Ponting to suffer at the hands of Laxman. Jai ho India !
