    I think we're lucky just to get a stream, let alone a good quality one. :)

    CHN surging ahead 13-11

    KOR wins the driving battle, forcing CHN to lift and they are killed. CHN 13-12

    Haha yes... I'm pretty good, but extremely disappointed with the way that India have completely and utterly capitulated this entire series.
    It has been a complete no contest, and it seems that it's gonna be a sad way for the likes of Laxman to end their careers, as they continue to fold like a headless chickens.
    Can't believe they went with Vinay Kumar for this test instead of Ashwin who could actually make some runs. The Indian tail starts with Dhoni and it's a very long one at that!

    Absolutely shocking that this is already pretty much over by Day 2 of a Test where the pitch has no real demons apart from having good bounce. A total disappointment and a white wash on the cards! I can safely bet another Kolkata 2001 or Adelaide 2003/4 will not happen as Laxman has been in just atrocious form along with Sehwag and co.

    Even the Kiwis would probably decimated them in a home series right now, their bowling is also pretty awful apart from Umesh and Zaheer Khan and no comment on their pathetic fielding as expected of most subcontinent players.

    Been also following SA vs Sri Lanka.... it has not been a pretty start for sub-continent teams in 2012.... I'm praying that Pakistan put up a good fight or even wins against England in the UAE.... They seem the most capable at this moment,

    you really have to question the wisdom of the bwf.
    if they are going to broadcast only 1 session, why not this one rather than the morning one?

    Totally agree. But there may be licensing issues/rights, or BWF is too cheap to pay for 2 sessions

    The word wisdom shalt not be associated with the BWF association!

    And to be honest I can't even open my TV to watch the channel 9 broadcast... it's just too depressing...
    It seems everytime I flick there a wicket of India falls....
    And it annoys me to no end seeing Peter Siddle smiling like a clown and looking at that arrogant Brad Haddin having a dumb laugh.
    Just personal thoughts :p...
    I do enjoy Hilfenhaus, Pattinson, Harris and Starcs bowling though :p.

    Dravid and Kohli holding firm with a current 37 run partnership. The counts as good for India these days. Honestly, India were never going to stand much of a chance at Perth, the most Aussie of wickets.

    Haddin needs to have the English bowling revive his Ashes nightmare, That'll take that smirk off his face.

    Oh, and any one but Mitchell Johnson bowling please :D

    Johnsons injury was the greatest thing to have happened to the Aus bowling attack! They've become much more consistent and thus lethal... albeit on helpful decks.

    I am looking forward to the ENG v PAK series. On the surface of it, ENG looks too much but they are not as familiar with the Middle East wickets and the playing conditions. Big debate as to whether England goes with a 5/1/5 lineup or 6/1/4.

    Yup, that's the truth. It's almost like they have taken a leaf out of England's bowling book and went for the suffocation type attack.

    seems like to beat the Chinese pair, you need a new pairing.

    So Cho/Sin set up a rematch with Taipei MD who beat them in Korea last week.

    And this is just 3rd tournament for the Korean
