Sean Abbott has taken career-best figures of 6-14 in a Sheffield Shield win over Queensland at the SCG today. What a great effort by him!

Mitchell Johnson first ball to Virat Kohli whacks him straight on the helmet. Tough stuff for Haddin and Warner to experience close up again but they all managed to get through it. Kohli assured them he is fine after checking out his helmet. Johnson was a bit shaken up but all looks fine. Least the players are not too scared to play normal cricket. Impressive bowling by Johnson in the little I watched in last twenty minutes.
India 2 for about 120 at Tea.
I said to a mate immediatley after Kohli got hit that he would endup making a tone, and I was right. Good knock.

Warner gets clean bowled on 66, however yet another no-ball by the Indian bowlers and he is recalled to the wicket. Then a few heated and fiery conversations occurred.

Wow!!!
That is so sensational. I seriously doubted he'd be back bowling so soon after such a traumatic experience. Simply amazed and so happy for him.
Wish I could have been there to see it. Really special moment.

Kohli is a talented bat. Will make a lot of hundreds and be the main guy for India in World Cup tournament.

Pretty funny what happened with India fast bowler Varun Aaron. He mouthed off after bowling Warner but got ahead of himself as it was a no ball. When Warner came back, he re-enacted Aaron words back to him of "C'mon on, C'mon on"
He did it again after first ball back from Aaron. A few of the precious fielders did not enjoy it. Umpires had to come in and calm down some silly fielders. Not sure why fielders feel the need to get involved when it was clearly a bowler/batter thing. Fielders feeling like they need to have a go at a batsman saying "C'mon" is a bit of a laugh.
Anyway think umpires and Kohli made sure fielders get back into their place.

There will still be a bit of feeling between Warner and Aaron but that is to be expected with young fast bowler on one team and fiesty character like Warner bound to want to stir up the young bowler to lose the plot. Don't think I ever seen an India bowler before that can bowl genuinely fast. Can touch 150 km/h at his quickest.

Pity the India side bowled their overs so slow. Did not get those twenty overs I expected :(

Smith not dismissed this Test.
Expect Aussies declare in morning giving India 364 to get.

Ooops. Wrong. Lyon was on 8 wickets and that India batsman would have been given not out if India played with DRS.
Drinks and Aussies need 6 wickets and India about 120.
Would love to see Lyon get 10 wickets for match. Bowled without much luck for many parts but that last wicket helps make up for some bad luck in other spells.

Great catch Warner off Lyon
India need 87 to win and Australia needs 5 wickets.
Kohli batting brilliantly. This match is virtually 50-50 now. Love it.
Lyon 9 wickets for match. Warner and Kohli a century in both innings. Smith never dismissed all match.

Kohli out for 140 to Lyon, caught deep by a nervous Mitchell Marsh. One of best innings I seen by a visiting player in Australia.
