Ankit: After two days where do both teams stand?

Nishant Arora: So far this has been a very compelling Test match where both sides have not given an inch except that small partnership between Haddin and Hussey or Lee-Hussey.

I feel India have started off well with the Sehwag-Gambhir partnership. They just need to carry on from here. It's still a very evenly poised Test match. Let's hope it continues like this for the next three days.

delhiboy: How would you rate Australia's bowling on the second day?

Nishant Arora: It could have been better. As it was mentioned before the series, they have quality but lack experience. The likes of McGrath, Gillespie and Warne won’t give you easy balls to hit. But today, the Aussies were a touch inconsistent in terms of line. They bowled bit too straight and you will find that a lot of runs came from the midwicket to square leg region. I'm sure they will come better prepared on the morning of the third day.

khatei: Sehwag has a wonderful Test career up to now. But still people are not considering him in the class of Lara and Tendulkar. Why?

Nishant Arora: I feel Sehwag will go down as one of the greatest batsmen India has produced. He is a match-winner and at present India’s most valuable player. Every team loves to see his back and with time he will get his due place in Indian cricket's history.

Batsman: The Indian openers have got a good start to their innings. I think they should carry on from where they have left off and lay a solid platform for the middle order to play attacking shots.

Nishant Arora: I agree with you sir.
