Rol(l)(e) Reversal

It's probably premature to talk so. But the one and a half days of play at Perth has thrown up unexpected turn of events. It was India that was to succumb to the 'chin-music'. The bowling quartet of Lee, Clark, Johnson and Tait (the superfast) were to vanquish the Indian batsmen susceptible to fast bwling. And register their 17th win on the trot to create a new world record (by erasing their own).

So far the scores belie the expectations. At 72 for 5 as I write this Australia seems to be on the mat - on a pitch that was made for both their batsmen and bowlers.One small thing on the side too. I was proved wrong about Pathan. mrsgollum you were right! But I'm glad you are!
