"...Zaheer Khan, hitting the seam and bowling in the right areas, stepped forward with five Australian wickets to stake his claim as India's strike bowler here on Friday.
The 25-year-old left-armer led the way as India staged a sensational comeback after an uninspiring opening day to reduce Australia to 323 for nine from an overnight 262 for two after the rain-ravaged second day of just 16 overs. .."
An Indian comeback.

Good comeback by India. We made a similar comeback on day 2 of the first Ashes test of our last series there. Still lost, but it was something to cheer about. 
Fancy Waugh treading on his wicket. Has to be a first time for everything I suppose. Perhaps next innings, he could try and get out obstructing the field. And if successful, he could go for ultimate fame and perhaps be the first person in Test cricket (if not the whole of First Class cricket) to be timed out. He's already been out handled the ball, so doesn't need to do that again.

Concur, z!
Ag, what's the odds: some say India 9/1 win I think 5/1 at Adelaide. Aus evens or 1/3, draw not likely, unless the weather comes to play, short ground it is depending on where they place the wicket;)

Well, when you put the second strongest team in the world against one of the weakest, it is inevitable that SA will be on top. They were on top against us too. bit more luck in the first test against us and they would have won 3-2. But they didn't.
"Also be interesting to see what the Indians can do in Adelaide???"
Lose? At 400/5 with Gilly in and Ponting rampant I don't see what else can happen. :confused:

Has to be a tame wicket tho, the last two batsmen have come in and scored 30 runs just now. Hell Ntini has 2 4s and a 6:confused:
Currymunchers are struggling in Adelaide. Tendulkar and Ganguly out cheaply. Sorry Ag! Hope they're not rioting in the streets yet!
Poms struggling in SL. They should go down to Adams footprint tonight and pray:rolleyes:

Yes we are struggling. I don't know why we aren't batting well at all. It can't all be Mura surely? :confused:

Well, SA are known for batting depth. Large late wicket stands were fairly commonplace when they toured here. Still, WI have made a sound start so there can't be that much in the wicket yet.
