Bangalore: Day 3
Comfortbaly India’s day ending 435 – 5.
The Great One shows us why he is The Great One – scoring his 49tn test century.
I am more and more impressed with Murali Vijay – he is a slightly silent assassin, doesn’t get all the accolades and respect that Tendulkar, Dravid or Laxman do but he has the range of shots, precise ball placement and grit and determination.
It took Australia till mid-afternoon before they made a breakthrough and Ponting’s bowling attack looks insipid on a pitch like this. It’s almost impossible to see where they’ll get the necessary 15 wickest to win from.
This test is looking more and more like a draw which will hit my Cricketbetlive account and more importantly mean the test fizzles out into something less than exciting. An anti-climax after the drama of Mohali.
