I had 6 units on the ml that I played before a ball was bowled on day one, and had all but thrown it in the bin and was just an enthralled spectator over the last few days. I thought Ponting took too much time declaring, and when Harbahjan and Kumble looked like they had dug their heels in I thought Australia would run out of time.
On comes Pup and cleans up the tail in potentially the second last over.....
What a finish. THAT is what I love about the purest form of our game

How about that then?

Just watch it also...couldn't believe the Aussies WON, Clarke's bowling was similar to when he took 5 for in India, only this time it happened in Aussie land.
India should never have lost the game, would love to see the Aussies break the record in Perth, and I'll be def going when they play in Adelaide.

To be fair the draw would have been the fair result.
Some awful umpiring decisions didn't help India throughout the Test match. Bucknor must be blind as a bat, it's time for the ICC to give him the tap on the shoulder.

I agree. India should never have lost that game and some of the decisions were of the worst I've seen. I used to really admire Bucknor, but after this match maybe his number was up. Dravid, whilst as exciting as cancer, should never have been given. His bat AND gloves were tucked that far behind his pad that it wasn't conceivable he could have hit it.......
That being said, Dravid aside the other batsmen got themselves out - Ganguly was the only guy (apart from Kumble) who looked to have the stomach for the fight.
On to Perth to make history

Controversal umpiring aside, that was an exciting 5th day of a test match. Up there with Steve Waughs hundred off the last ball of the day at Sydney a few years back.......
