* For those that are watching this game, I imagine you're getting as bored as we are at the continual replays of ZK holding the ball across the seam. Mark Nicholas is talking about it lke he's explaining how to tie a shoelace to a camel.
* And in a massive surprise, an Indian fieldsman has just given up a chase for a ball that trickled into the boundary. In an even bigger surprise, it was His Royal Highness Sauruv Ganguly. Now, India really only have themselves to blame for putting him on the boundary. I guess giving up boundaries is better than having him drop catches. And it also means the other fieldsmen don't have to talk to him. Or hear about his new investment oportunities.
* Brendan Julian really is a handsome man. I don't know what he's trying to sell me, but I want several
* It is a sad indictment on the state of this cricket match when the most exciting thing is watching the chocolate machine skill tester thingy tear the heart out of small children that are expecting a bounty of chocolates for their $2 investment. ONly to come up empty handed. It even sucked in MC Gregor who just lost 45 seconds of his life trying to get a mini Crunchie
* A replay has just been shown of Tendulkar's dismissal. The best part about it is Brazen's celebration. he had nothing to do with it but runs around jumping in the air like he's just kicked the winning goal in a soccer match. And he's not celebrating with anyone else - just himself
* Television seems to be intrigued with slow motion replays of Ricky Ponting leaving the ball. Love it.
* Rudi is getting sick of Bhaji's appeals now. He's actually enjoying giving them not out.
* Bhaji is bowling pretty well to B&B at the moment. I think it's a combination of B&B being really tentative and Bhaji appealing for everything - he was a little disgusted to find that the new "caught at leg slip off the pad" rule isn't yet in force at Test level
* Whatever happened to mix tapes? CD has destroyed this wonder of the 80's
* Wicket - The Chef has finally decided that he'd use his pads on a ball that was going to crash into the stumps. About time - at least something has happened
* It's like Australia have invested heavily on a draw. John the bookie is nowhere to be seen as yet
* boooooooooooring
* Oh look, Flea is there. He just prodded one off Bhaji through the hands of the little fella at short leg. The five foot Tasmanian with the flared trousers would no doubt have snaffled that chance
* 0-17 and ZK is getting some decent swing out there. Why then they have Bhaji on the other end instead of Sharma is a little bizarre. Apparently Katich has 5 off 30 - I can't recall him facing a ball. Perhaps I've just erased those occasions from my memory
* The Chef seems really intent on trying to belt the living Christ out of Bhaji's bowling. Alas, the continual picking out of Indian fieldsmen is proving a major deterrant to scoring runs
* The Aussie batsmen really have to start using their bat. The umpires are getting sick and tired of turning down ridiculous LBW appeals
* Bhaji is disgusted that he didn't get an LBW. The fact that it hit The Chef about a foot outside off stump was my reasoning for it not being given. Bhaji didn't want ot listen to my reasoning though
* Weird - Harbhajan is bowling the second over after lunch. maybe Krumble read that article where he said that he wants to bowl well in the second innings. What an amazing comment.
