[...] aggressive cricket on day-1 and day-2, India had choked Australia almost out of the game on day-3 of this intriguing Test match. In a strange manner, India played the “new age cricket” [...]

India hold the edge in the game at the end of Day 3 unlike the edges they can’t seem to hold when it comes out of the bat these days….

When India bowling well against Aussies, suddenly everyone wants to change the bowling laws. When India fielding well against Aussies, suddenly everyone wants to change the fielding laws. When India batting well against Aussies, suddenly everyone wants to change the batting laws. When India is winning, suddenly they are negative…

Grumpy Aussies….

I don’t think the match is evenly poised. Even if we disregard factors such as the series score or the fact that Australia would have to bat last, India is in a better position.

India has secured sizable lead and that can be only advantageous.

SBS score does not take into account the extent to which a team dominated a particular session.

Media is overhyping this defensive tactics thing.

I’m sure the players who are on the middle find it very normal.

Look at what Katich has to say about it in the
post match interview. ( Cricinfo)

Teams have been doing it since time immemorial. I don’t know where Mr. Chappel was hiding all these days.

I bet that he must have adopted this strategy many times himself.

I hope they stipulate a retirement age for the commentators too.

These guys become so opinianated with age.

@ riya.
Same goes for Gavaskar. He was going on and on and on about Dhoni’s 8-1. Soon after 3rd wkt fell…….. he was eating his own words and after the tea he was swallowing his words with a cup of tea!

Ian Chappell was quite angry with Dhoni as well, during Lunch report on Neo cricket…he was talking about poor over rate, defensive, negative tactics…about 8-1 field and bowling outside off stump…he also mentioned that ICC should do something about it and penalize the captain by not letting him play the next two matches, if they resort to such tactics and poor over rates, because it makes for poor test cricket…

he was eating some of his words by Tea and Stumps…

Anyhow, not surprised that he conveniently switched himself off when Aussies had slow over rates throughout the series, and Watson was bowling off stump to Gambhir earlier in the series….
