Zaheer is looking slimmer, and wats with the pony :P

yeah, he is looking much slimmer and younger, I was kinda shocked to see him.

Also not a bad first day to be honest, 6 Aussie wickets on first day is nit bad, not bad at all.

Ian chappell's and Richie Benaud's commentary is pretty biased free.Also great to see 70000+ crowd at MCG.India were lucky to get Hussey and Cowan out though. :bigyellowgrin:

Cowan looked pretty much out to me, it did not light up on the hot spot, but there was a visible edge.

very balanced day of cricket....if this day is any indication, the series will be super-fantastic with both teams pulling at the initiative equally.

 

India just needs to be careful with the bat :fear: still remember the 2007-08 boxing day test, when we folded for 160 odd after getting aussies out for 350

considering how badly we have started series in the past if we get them out for <350 we'll have done a decent job. india usually gets better as series progresses. but once again we allowed runs to be made by a batsman making his debut and another in the twilight struggling with his career. bowling was just a bit short. fuller bowling would've got us in a better position.

 

some gripes -

 

tata sky hd sound mix sucks. the audio level of the match is soft and the promos in between are 3 times as loud. have to keep adjusting the volume :thumbdown:

 

why the hell is ganguly licking ponting's a** so much ?! even during the WC and here again. havent heard him praise and back any other player so much.

 

same old tired voices on star cricket again - shastri and akram :ack: shastri after ponting got out after making 60 and putting on a 100+ stand says "timing for india couldnt be better"! :doh: umm, yes it could - his wicket before he helped put on 100 runs would've been much much better, wouldnt you say? he repeated it after clarke was out after 60 run stand.

 

also ganguly - you dont need to begin every sentence with "and there you see.." :bash: tv is visual medium so yes we do see

given the voice 'talents' of Shastri,ganguly and Akram; Benaud's commentary seems like manna from heaven....At least he does not make it a point to speak 'always' like these guys do. Measured commentary!
