Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2248248, member: 1764"] It was a very good finish, though Australia will be disappointed they let India back into it. They had the game won at when Dhoni went at 6/186, with just under 13 overs to go and more than 100 runs needed. There was some poor bowling to Harbhajan in particular. Far too much wide stuff, overpitched stuff, short stuff. It's times like that Australia really miss Glenn McGrath who used to bore opposition batsmen into submission by relentlessly landing it on a 5c piece just short of a length on off stump. As I said, that 49th over from Watson was probably the worst display of bowling I've seen from a player trying to close out an innings. 2 wide low full tosses outside off stump with no third man...then a juicy long hop on leg stump...Harby just smashed the shit out of him. LOLZ. Very surprised Ponting didn't give Lee the final spell from Watson's end. He only bowled 6 overs in the innings. Maybe being rested after the ICC Champions League? Who knows. Watson's shown some talent with the bat, but quite frankly I think he should give the bowling away. However, with Hopes now injured that can't happen as Australia's short an all rounder now. Oh, and kudos to Nathan Hauritz. Brilliant spell of off spin bowling against a team that usually picks off spinners to pieces. 9 overs, 1/34...excellent return. Really tightened the screws on them.
