i'm not quite sure what I'd do if Ind lose this match..

don't worry, you wont.

This is just delaying the inevitable but I'm still enjoying it.

I hope you are relishing the smell. I hope it is bringing back memories.

well if you want to talk about 'memories' then I can remember plenty of Indian farts from Pak-Ind games, that's for sure.

4 more for Sarfraz.

very close match going on here too...Federer is havign a tough time here
Federer is 1 set down. 4th set going on. 1 set to federer and 2 to the other guy. This will be the biggest upset of tonight if he loses to the unseeded player.
 
can we still lose this one? This is pathetic....

slater if jerking off in the commentary box
 
Its only adding to the story of this great test for future generations to read. And it will keep us sharp for the next game.
 
Some gorgeous poor cricket from India. They just need to keep it simple.

i'd like the story to end about now, lol. This is looking terrible.

CAN you lose? Yes you CAN.
WILL you lose? I highly doubt it.

They are swinging their bats and its coming off but sooner or later there will be a top edge or they will miss one. Stranger things have happened (like being 39 for 6 on the first morning and winning by 340 runs) but it is unlikely.

Just sit back and enjoy it because this has been a fantastic game of test cricket.
 
On a lighter note, SRT just sent an SMS to pawar - if we dont win this game, we will not play next test. :)) :)))
 
Come on Pathan...get one in this over....come on..don’t make us sweat in cold fear...pls....pls...come on
 
Pathan has got the much needed breakthrough, 9 down and just 1 more to go!.
 
There it is. The fat lady is clearing her throat.

Nail the last nail in, and let her sing, full-blast!
 
i dont care about clearing her throat, she can always take cough drops. I want to hear her SING.
 
We win or loose it is it has been horrible bowling by Kumble, IS and RPS in the last 10 overs. Most horribly by RPS after getting the new ball. Short ball after short ball. They should discuss about these short comings for the next match.

Federer trying to bounce back..so far leading in 4th set
 
Would love to see Irfan get the last one

Come Pathan one more now...get it over with...come on..
 
oh down the ground that's a glorious stroke from Johnson. Two bounces four. Bla bla bla he deserves his 50. He is only 4 away.

nice smooth hit.

He deserves it. He played niocely and scared the **** out of us...Will be a well deserved 50. :19:
 
God willing, this is history in the making, a win at adelaide the aussie ego will be in the gutter
 
Eish, this test is quite a cooker. I went and did some things and come back and it is pretty interesting. 73 runs needed. Last wicket stand.
 
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow


We Wonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Aussie top-order must take a few tips from the tail-enders. Johnson and Clark looked a million-dollars out there today

Congrats to India BTW. Outplayed the Aussies in almost every department
 
Now Aussies will have to start all over again. We will again ruin them on their next 17th victory attempt. :))
 
There it is!

We halt them again (though No. 16 had a big asterix against it), and that too by beating them!

First Asian side to beat Australia at Perth!

Now no country can say they are better competitors against Australia than India!

Way to go, boys!
 
the fat lady has left the building.. well done India !! Aussies-eat some Indian crow !!
 
What a win!! This has been a great day. Two great matches....one just concluded and another in progress.

I was watching the Federer game and boy is he in for a scrap. 5 setter and Federer unsure whether he still has a measure of his tenacious opponent.

It is 2 set a piece and I wanted to see what India was up to - and boy oh boy what a win for the team. From the lows of Melbourne and then the issues at Sydney, this team has indeed performed way above expectations. And to think that we stopped Australia yet again on 16 and yet again that master batsman VVSL was in the thick of action - it is deja vu all over again.

Wonderful win and I hope we win the Adelaide test too and return 2-2

with a little bit of luck and better umpiring we could have been 2-1 up now.
 
We wonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! congrats India!!!

A great combining team effort.
 
Above all ,it was test cricket at its best .The drama ,the excitement .Fantastic finish ,yes gave us some heart pains .But it was still wortrh gold and made this test match even more memorable and beautiful.

Hail both teams .Hail Aussie tail enders .Above alll congratulations for my team after all those debacles from sydney they played with spirit and made history .
 
I've been calling for Sehwag/Pathan to be in the team since day 1. I'm glad it all played out. Pathan did really well, Dravid went back to 3 and finally regained his form, Lax was still able to contribute despite going back to 6. Ahhh what a match!
 
Now no country can say they are better competitors against Australia than India!

Not yet . I think the next few years will see many countries competing with Australia . Once the psychological edge is gone Australia will have to win purely based on talent ...and going by that their bowling and aging batting leaves a lot to be desired .

congrats India
 
awesome, couldn't have hoped for a better return for Pathan. My favorite Indian player is back in the team!

Congrats to India! Whatta game!!

What is Bucknor thinking right now?
Bucknor has been arrested for a drunken brawl he had after India won the match. He is cooling his heels in a jamaican cell smoking pot.
 
super test match.
really tested the batsmen and also the bowlers skills.
very satisfying win
.
Kumble proved that he can get the best out of this team!

but to be honest, this Australian team is much inferior to the West Indies teams of the 80's. they would beat the living day lights out of this aussie team.May be Steve Waugh le(a)d aussie team was better than this team because of McGrath, Warne,Steve Waugh,Mark Waugh, Langer, Martyn are proven performers, under pressure! but their presence makes a huge difference.

even if this current team had scraped thru somehow, i would still feel they are no match to the WINDIES of 80's.

I think Aussies have to seriously plan better for their team once Haydos, Punter,Gilly retire by 2011. even before that their dominance would be tested by SA, Pak and India.
 
The aussies are in good shape. The two best performers with the bat, Johnson and Clarke are both youngsters and the future of Austrailian team. They also have plenty of backup when required. David Hussey hasn't even gotten a run at the team yet.
 
From a Pakistan fan to all my Indian friends:

Well done and congratulations to India. They have won atleast one Test on successive tours to Australia. Something most of the world teams have not done.
