Final live blog from the MCG with results

10:00 5-160 from 44 overs (I need to confirm # of overs). India wins! It was an exciting day of cricket with solid bowling and occasional brillance from the batsmen from both sides. As you can see from the result, India only had 5 men retired before reaching 160, compared to Aussie who went all out before their alloted # of overs, big factor in the outcome. I must say I really enjoyed this game, and I would love to see a 5 day test match, as crazy as that sounds!

Michelle-I was glad I held out and did not want to go to the lower level as it proved to be smelly and rambunctious. It smelled a lot like a fraternity house and 10mins was enough down there. It was a long day and I don't need to see another full day of cricket in my life, but I will go to a twenty20 (20 overs per side, about 3hrs long).

Thanks to everyone who read this entire thread, I know you didn't follow along because it's nearly 4am monday morning now! Take care and good night

Thanks for chiming in on this last one Michelle. I had no idea what was going on before that:) Good for you for sticking it out!

I caught the Aussies being manhandled by Sri Lanka a few days ago--the Aussies certainly aren't the best cricket players but I envy you for taking in a game.

Now if I could just figure out all the rules.

I'm so high right now I have no idea what's going on.

Ok I'm not high at all, but I still have no idea what's going on. You might as well have written that in Klingon.
