Bangalor-ed!!
1. Langer must be the luckiest batsman in the world, i have seen nobody get so many favorable LBW decisions (except maybe Miandad in Pakistan). After he was reprieved on the first ball of the match, visions of his century against NZ (when he was similarly repreived off Cairns off the first ball) flashed before my eyes. Thankfully it was not to be.
2. Cant believe that Bucknor is umpiring in this match especially after his bloopers against India in Australia. ICC must seriously look at the idea of acclimatising umpires to the local conditions before they officiate in the series. Maybe they should have been the umpires in the Aus-Mumbai match. With conditions varying from country to country, its tough to expect umpires to make their decisions spot on form the first ball itself. As for Silly-billy, he simply refuses to give the lbw's

3. Patel keeps making costly mistakes, letz see how much India has to pay for them.

4. Clarke is fast turning into my fav batsman, his talent is so obvious that he has been annointed by Ricky himself and I dont see him serving the longish "trainee" periods that Hayden, Langer, Martyn or Katich went through. I would go so far as to rate him the best batsman in the world under the age of 25.

5. The underrated Kumble reaches 400 wickets (taking 20 tests less than Kapil) , as is the case with so many of his ilk, his value will be known only when he retires.
