Jaffer was set up so nicely by Lee, it was delightful...anyway Laxman's innings was Gold standard...the first 50-75 runs were truly amazing....Dravid's innings did not make any sense at all....he has all the skills and yet..the devil in the mind....... Yes, the umpiring was extremely dodgy.....Steve Buckor and benson have had bad matches before too...the elite panel now has only 3-4 elite umpires..the rest are crap.... My own negative vibe seems to suggest that India will fold within 300 tom....we will then battle against rain....... Lax's innings showed that we can do well in this series and all it needs is an open mind and application....in that regard, should yuvraj decide to open his blade to attack the Aussies, the reward will be massive....he is the key guy tom........ 312641@desicritics.org Thu, 3 Jan 2008 11:09:19 EST
