Was he really out?

Without hot spot and the proper camera replays, can't really be sure on the tight decisions.

He seems to think not! Batsman usually knows. Unfortunately, without the review system, Umpire decision is final!

Indians appeal for everything though, don't they?!! Sometimes feel the umpires are under undue pressure...

9/10 the batsman will know.

+1.

Did you also notice when Kohli was batting, he took a refreshments break every couple of overs, having banana and juice. When other teams do the same, India bitch and moan about time wasting.

Looks a belter...not sure if chasing is difficult or not but looks a 350 wicket.

Average 1st innings score is 235. Saw a stat along the lines of out of the last 20 odi's here, 11 have been won batting first and 8 batting second, so in terms of the toss, it's not as crucial.

I'm glad to see the positive attitude adopted against the spinners. If we can see them off while still ticking along at 4 or 5 to the over against them, we'll be well set for a great total.

Superb to watch! Well batted young man. That pick up for six... Adam Gilchrist would be proud!
