* WICKET And Flea has just edged Ishant Sharma to MS Dhoni to end a very good innings. Just moved it off the seam slightly and the Flea didn't quite get across far enough. Edge taken by Dhoni who MC Gregor referred to as a rubbish keeper. I (Mix Master D) refer to him as dreamy.
* It should be noted that The Balls don't just refer to Allan Border as AB in an Aussie "let's give everyone a nickname" type of way. We've been intimate with the great man. Well, Mix Master D has. MC Gregor merely took the piss out of him in front of 100 people as MC at a wedding. Over and over and over again. AB sat quietly at his table and mumbled something to his wife about captaining Australia and little shits. We couldn't make out the rest
* A friend of The Balls, The Collector, has just reminded us that should Punter salute here that would take his number of centuries scored to 36 - level with Gavaskar. And in 5 innings less no less. The Collector knows all the stats
* Punter has moved into the 90's. Some call them the nervous nineties. Those people watched Steve Waugh bat too much. MC Gregor's comment about not pissing Punter off is seeming to ring true
* Actually, the commentators have agreed that it is an advantage for the team batting first to post a large total - I'm going to go back and read Cricket 101 to try and get my head around this
* there's Roy!!! sure it's as car ad, but he's still part of the game. AB has just suggested that it's an advantage to bat first in India. Shocking revelation. More to come!
* 1-153 (Ponting 82, Flea 59) - pitch is holding up. Watinjury's slower ball may come into its own.
* 1-152 BTW - I imagine everyone is well aware that the Tassie Quota has not been breached. Iron...clad...rule!
* as if to prove a point, Punter smashes a four right at the fosters oversized can. this tassie lad is betraying Boags.
* 1-145 as Punter plays one of the most intelligent shots we've seen today. A seeming inside edge that flew past the stumps and down ot the boundary for 4. Upon closer inspection, the ball clattered into a Fosters Lager sign on the boundary - Punter merely making sure his personal sponsors get greater exposure. Genius Ricky. Genius.
* The pitch is already showing variable bounce. note to ICC - don't use NZ curators in India. don't even use them in NZ.
* OK, I take it back. it isn't some mole. It's Bella...the mole. And it seems as though we've finally managed to get sound for the cricket - just as Bella...the mole...has launched into a tirade of abuse on a poor defenceless microphone.
* Is it a triple blow if we didn't win the meat tray in the re-draw? Or is it a nightmarish re-occurence of the double blow. Either way - some random minger won.
* In a double blow for the Balls, the meat raffle has escaped our carnivorous clutches! oooh, redraw! This hasn't happened since the great meat raffle at the Bunbury Bowls Club on that lazy summer's day in 1985!
*1-129 Blowout by a length. point me home is dead last and considering a change in career...perhaps glue would best suit.
* 1-127. The Balls have had to relocate themselves due to some mole setting up for a trivia night. We now have the cricket accompanied by the call of the 6th at Northam (Come on Point Me Home, LIIIFT). When will this country stop with it's annoying thirst for knowledge?!
* And now he has just nudged one past both short cover fieldsmen for a single. GENIUS field placement. Give us a third, Anil
* And in an intriguing piece of field placement, Bhaji is bowling to 2 short covers. Flea didn't really mind as he just quilted a cover drive straight past both of them to the boundary to pick up his 50
* And whilst the lads are having a watered down lemon cordial let's take a moment to talk about Simon "Flea" Katich. Apart form one delivery he's looked completely in control. He's the perfect foil for the likes of Hayden, Ponting, Clarke, Hussey, Wattooooooo and the Saviour Of The World as he nudges and nurdles as only Chris Harris before him has done. He's currently on about 40 and just looks like accumulating runs and frustrating the Indian bowlers. I've just been informed he's on 49 - I like maths
* As Foxtel take us away from the pain of listening to Mark Nicholas to some random studio in Sydney, The Balls can't help but think that Mark Waugh is still shagging a 60 year old. And the bloke sitting next to him is wary of Mark mistaking him for said 60 year old
