Harbhajan has gone mad!

It is the eighth time Harbhajan has trapped the Australian captain and ''he has gone mad.''

This is how a commentator reacted after Harbhajan got Ricky Ponting for the eighth time in his career. Apt words to describe Bhajji's reactions after another tremendous display by the turbanator against the World's premier batsman.

Few over before , After Phil Jacques had lifted Anil Kumble to midwicket boundary to give Australia a sense of relief by getting them in lead (without losing a wicket), things were looking increasingly difficult for India indeed, in terms of winning this match.

Now with two critical wickets fallen, one will hope for India to get few more in the post lunch session. The key will be to get Australia all out before the end of day’s play, otherwise chasing an Australian target of 250-300 on Sunday will put India under pressure again.

Going by the way how Australia continued with their assault even after losing wickets in the first two tests, the only way to stop this team is by taking wickets at the regular intervals and finishing them off.

If Australia survive the day without a major weather interruption, the 60-65 odd overs after lunch time, at a rate of just over four runs, will take them to an additional 250 runs. They lead by 21 at lunch.

Getting them out at the earliest is also important for another reason. India’s fourth innings displays of late have not really been encouraging despite making those 200 odd runs against Pakistan at Delhi.

But then strange things have happened in cricket before. Including the showers which started soon after the umpires signalled lunch, which usually the opposition welcomes, and not this Australian team!
