only ourselves to blame. The Aussies in their pomp wouldnt have faffed around for an hour this evening letting Prior get 100.

360 keeps India interested and put that in context of Tendulkar having a bug, Ghambir injured and sehwag not playing that should be enough. If we didnt win then it says more about our bowling attack than any perceived generous declaration.

Prior got from 77 to 103 in about four overs I think, it was hardly faffing about.

And against the best batting line up in the world, on a good batting wicket, an extra thirty runs could be crucial. I'm expecting the Indian win to look on at some stage today. I doubt they're going to try and dig in and bat the day out, they'll be playing positive.
