Kumble's 5 creates hope........


Nine aussie wickets on 1st day of Boxing day test match ! Anyone expected this, i dont think.When you look at indian bowling attack, specialy when you see the play till lunch today. Runs at rate of 4 without wicket in 1st session, was clearly showing what will happen in this test match. But..There are always Ifs & Buts when
you talk about indian style of cricket. So i was saying, BUT ' Kumble turned the match in his spell after lunch ,taking back two back wickets of new aussie opner Jackus & middle ordered hussy(Who has avg. more than 80) , with his typical googlies.New batsmen always found hard to play Kumble. At the end of day, mediocare indian bowling looks much good when you see australia 337 for 9 on 1st day.
Kumble picked 5 wickets.And he is second spinner who done this after Shane Warne at MCG on 1st day. He as always was taking responsibility lead from front as real captain, as except Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan & RP Singh was bowling ordinary.
So how this five wicket hall of kumble signify in the picture of match? When tomorow play will start, indians have to take aus's last wicket early (As there is tradition in indian cricket to give more runs to tailenders)& then bat well.You always dont know what can happen with indian batting line up...So Can we think that india have chance to win this test??????????
