| | Day 3 saw some interesting cricket ... first of the myth of the Indian middle order should be ended as quickly as possible. This middle order is past its use by date and I hope to see some further changes soon.
Hoggard bowled a stupendous spell which brought back memories of Gillespie's spell at this very ground in 2004. The difference was this was much better since there was nothing in the track. Hoggy just produced an outstanding spell of reverse swing. Sehwag, Dravid, Jaffer, Laxman and Pathan makes for a high quality 5fer.
Kaif, the much maligned Kaif whose inclusion caused much ire amongst critics played a very ugly but highly effective knock. It reinforces the thought amongst many who think he has a test match outlook, but his dismissal also highlighted the fact that he has never scored more than 120 runs in an innings.
This match has had the feel of a well contested late 80's game, run rate never threatening the 3 mark yet a highly compelling battle nonetheless.
It remains to be seen how the match unfolds but all three results are possible at this stage. |
