Will young Jaiswal redeem his 3 dropped catches with a century? He survived an LBW due to what I consider a flaw in the computer umpire:
50% of the ball is seen hitting the bail, but apparently the system only calculates the stump height. In reality, knocking a bail off, when hit, is out. So much for the infallible computer age. Grin

So far, Australia is looking to win. Three dropped catches at crucial moments of their 2nd innings batting was Luck on their side.

Currently the Curry Munchers have the Havascar-Border patrol trophy.

It shows the superiority of the British genes we have - even though our population is only 27 million and India has 1.4 billion people we still prevail in the cricket.
