RE: [world_cricket] 2nd Test

i dont think its bias, i agree just terrible. You must have seen ponting given out LBW? he almost hit that thing for 4!!! but thats cricket, he was out earlier and got a bad one so all was well!
 
India looking positive early on day 3, it is nice seeing them put up a show with Sachin and Ganguly both looknig good.
