UMPIRING in the 1st test

the umpiring in the 1st test left a lot to be desired the decisions given by asad rauf were horrifying.........i dont know despite so many mistakes committed by him he still manages to stay in the elite panel boy ICC do have to take a note of his decisions in the match

matthew hayden had an horror decison in the first innings and also rahul dravid in india's first innings .....
umpiring decisons did create a lot of bad blood in the last series between the two sides an hope they dont repeat again in this series

INDIA-AUS

after the 1st test wat looked at the beginning of the series as a humdinger of a contest with the bat and ball is just turnng out to be a war of words. plenty of indication coming from the end of the 1st test from zaheer khan(probably the only fully charged up indian player in the match) and ricky ponting probably too much of cricket is taking its toll or they are waiting for the next installment of the IPL to begin............. 3 more tests to go mohali chennai and kanpur......

i was pretty disappointed with the pitch at bangalore kept low from the 2nd day onwards and was pretty difficult to bat on but gutsy displays from bhajji and zak pulled india from troubled waters and a lack of a quality spinner shown inthe australian bowling as they failed to trouble the the indian batting.....

cameron white was an honest trier inthe match but can perform miracles in his first match .... michael clarke is a partnership breaker but that doesnt happen every time........

next we go to mohali the best wicket inthe country prepared by the best curator daljeet singh a result oriented wicket but actually dies down on the 4th and 5th day

May the best team win
