Do you think that the Indian batsmen have disappointed again? Ganguly and Dravid did weigh in with fighting knocks but the likes of Sachin, VVS Laxman, Gambhir, Dhoni and even Sehwag in the morning were big letdowns. It was a fighting performances by the lower order that gave some respectability to the score with Bhajji slamming a half century and Zaheer making 33 not out... Still India are 117 behind and have to bat last? Do you think India can save this match? If so, who do you think will be the hero... Cheers! Ram

zaheer kumble and ishant have to play for more than 15 overs tomorrow in order to waste time n also to come more nearer to the target....afterwards we have to stop runflow if not able to take wickets...i think its good that ganguly is retiring as he was not able to field even... india got to save this match if not win....all depends on how kumble and harbhajan bowls tomorrow

Of the Fab four, Ganguly and Dravid did have a fighting knock today. In fact, I thought Dravid was distinctly unlucky to have been given out... Ganguly's decision was also a marginal one... but others were very disappointing.. Cheers! Ram

indian batsman disappointed today.now australia seems to have a considerable advantage.the condition were not hard .yet famed indian line up failed.if india still have a chance in this match it is due to its lower order where bhajji added 54 and zaheer 35.ganguly and dravid also fight it to contribute significantly

I think this pitch needed players to settle down a bit and then play their shots. Sehwag's was a real bad shot and I think Sachin himself got out to a poor shot!! Cheers! Ram

That, I believe is the biggest problem with our team. You cannot trust them on anything... on a good day they can take down any team, then again on a bad day they can go down against any team... Teams like Australia, even on a bad day can give good sides a run for their money... Cheers! Ram

It is very difficult for India to save this match seeing their recent performance. And also the statistics at Bangalore is against us. Batting on Day number 5 is very difficult in any pitches in India. Even though Australia doesn't have quality spinners, they have the quality pace bowlers who can turn the match for them. So chance of India saving the game is minimum. In my opinion it is less than 20% Anu

I think a lot also hinges on how fast Australia score in the second innings... If they score fast enough to declare by tomorrow tea, then I think India is in trouble... no doubt about it... Cheers! Ram

Well I think that India is not going to loose this match.Why we Indians get hopeless so easily.Its not over yet.I dont think that all of the Indian batsmen disappointed as Ganguly and Dravid played very well and then got out on bad umpire dicisions.If zaheer and kumble add another 50 runs stand and our bowlers bowl well then the result may be different.But the most chances are of a draw and dont forget one more thing that Australia have no quality spinners to exploid the last day conditions.

The point is that we are depending on Zaheer and Kumble to bail us out with the bat, while the vaunted batting lineup has let us down completely... That is the sad point... Cheers! Ram
