Well done Kapel you were right of course

Anything you think my boys can do to win the next test?

Well Snowy,on cricketing terms- they need to score 400 in Mumbai's 1st innings..cos chasing 200 in 2nd is a difficult ask for any team...check Australia's record in the last series here.
I Live here & i know the weather would be so hot next week that wicket would crack up the 2nd day,so batting first,getting a big score would be Game Won for ur boys,unless Virendra Sehwag fires

On non-cricketing terms,Sachin i'm sure would take the English team for drinks filled dinner at his restaurant here...All ur boys need to do is...get Dravid,Sehwag,Sachin,Pathan & Dhoni drunk till they drop dead

Next day with the hangover in this heat..ur boys can score well

DO English players drink too??

Got them down to earth!!!

Australia did well to survive well in the last 20 odd overs..just losing Langer,i thought he was unlucky there... a couple of close calls for Ponting too..but in the end well played...

All will now depend on the crucial 1st session...if Ponting & Hayden survive...looking at 450+ score in the 1st innings

Did you note the rip Warne was getting on the ball? On the first day

Unless they "doctor" the pitch he will be all but unplayable in the second innings. (unless someone finally takes the long handle to him, which I would love to see)

Yes Julian,infact i was watching this match at the CCI(a club at Wankede Stadium where tommorrow India-England match is starting in Mumbai) where there were some ex-cricketers(Mr. Prasana ,the great leg spinner of his time)
He actually jumped up on his seat when one ball from Warne turned visciously to Boje -i think.

He yelled at at the bartender to call the pitch currator for Mumbai & asked him "The pitch better turn like this in the match"

I wonder what will happen to England

As for South Africa,i doubt if they have anyone who could use the long handle against Warne..Kemp maybe??

Yep, it was against Boje.
Never looked like getting him out, he couldn't get within 5ft of it

Ah...but its the Warne factor

Oh yes for sure..not against India but hell ya against the South Africans...

Sorry didnt here the commentary in the bar though...

I hope he didnt mention abt Adam Parore yelling in his ear"Bowling Shane" when Cullinan was ready to face Daniel Vettori

No, I think he is still having nightmares about that.
You could almost feel him tearing himself apart. There was the South African pride and wanting them to do well........then there was him wanting Warne to bowl out a south african with every ball to make him look better
