Could get tight

India's collapse from 422-5 to 441 all out on the second day could come back to haunt them. Anything less than 500 was always going to be a score that would leave the door open for Australia. As of now, with the score at 189-2 (scored off 49 overs) India need to break through and quick, before Australia bat their way into a position that could be awkward. Forget about taking a lead; even if Australia catch up, it will make India's second innings a stressful business. That is, even if India take all eight remaining wickets tomorrow and bowl out Australia for 450 tomorrow, they will be sweating from that point onwards. While Krejza's eight wicket haul might be thought of as flattering, given that he also gave away 215 runs, its worth noting he bowled well: he flighted the ball, did not wilt in the face of some battering, and obtained decent turn at all times. And I doubt he will be treated with the same disdain in the second innings. Still, Australia chasing 250 on the last day of this match would make for great drama. If India doesn't want it to get that close, they'll have to trigger a collapse tomorrow and then bat with great initiative (and fight their tendency to gift away wickets to a mediocre Aussie attack and a defensive captain)
