The spectators around me were a bit freaked out by it all, and then we noticed on the TV scoreboards there was a plague of locusts, or some insects of equally biblical proportions, flying across the ground.

Umpire Aleem Dar seemed the least fazed of everyone, and Sourav "Dada" Ganguly obviously didn't want to get back up because he knew he had a long day of fielding at fine leg, where he belongs.

Virender Sehwag made our spinners (and his team-mates for that matter) look very ordinary as it seemed he was bowling hand grenades.

If you have been watching, you may have noticed a bunch of Aussies waving our flag after fours etc.

This is a tour group I have been sitting near during this Test.

They have effectively fenced off a "foreigner only" section around themselves, which for some reason the local police are enforcing.

Apparently they don't want any interaction with the locals.

Having sat amongst the Indians for the previous Tests I can kind of understand why.

For anyone who has gone to an Adelaide Crows game at Footy Park and supported the away team, it is a similar experience.

But it is the Indians' country after all and if you don't like the atmosphere, then don't go (which is the decision I have made when it comes to watching the Mighty Hawks in Adelaide).

Typing of the Hawks, I might head down to the local for a brew and think back to that wonderful day in September...
