Australia's Second Innings

*  0/9 A last ball lBW appeal is treated with barely hidden disdain by the pudgey Seth Efriken.  

What are our thoughts?  (a) Shaka's beard is kinda cool, (b) Katich is hard to watch batting, (c) NZ will not become a maor export provider of curaitors, (d)  Stu should link our blog, (e)  AFL draft week is a waist of time, and (f) in the right light, Hillary Clinton looks a bit like McCain. 

*  And Queensland have picked up all the points.  Wonder how many sides have won with an inning of 60-odd?  WA and NSW is interesting.  NSW about 100 ahead with 5 wickets in hand.  I wonder if the WA batting line up can go on with their innings a bit better in the next dig.

*  0/8  Slowish start with a lot of variable bounce.  The next session will need a bunch of runs or wickets for this to be of interest in the 5th day.

*  Stu thinks Sharma would look ideal bowling in a Megadeth shirt.  The Balls concurs.

* Flea is wearing a new style helmet - I have nothing more to add

* Sachin Tendulkar has "ST" on his white, floppy hat.  Now, I don't know if that's because he is worried that Bhaji is going to steal it or if it's his new line of clothing.

* Hayden's made a run - praise the lord, hail the day, call a public holiday.

* And for the 19th time since this Test match started, the commentators have mentioned the 2001 Calcutta Test match.  Apparently India won

* And in other news, Daniel Metropolis is the topic of conversation around the table at the moment - 5 goals with his first 5 kicks in the AFL.

* The Chef looks like a pig trying to play a harmonica at the moment.  A close LBW shout not given and now it's Flea's turn to poke and prod his way around

* 1st ball - and The Chef has just thrown everything at the first ball.  He missed - thankfully the Indians didn't appeal this time so he stays.

* The Indian's just spent a good 3 minutes in a tight circle, arms around each other.  I think they were singing Khe Sanh
