Gambhir taking on Watson and Katich

Interesting to watch the replays of the contact between players and verbals that went on in today's play in the 3rd India v Australia test. From this replay I don't think Gambhir can possibly have any argument about his deliberate arm into Watson. Yes, Watson wasn't making it easy for him, but Gambhir clearly sticks his arm out.

The Katich confrontation is interesting. If I was an Aussie I'd want to see Katich bowl so much more - he's got that Warne like aggression when he bowls, all be it with nowhere near the ability. But nevertheless it appears that something will happen, and that's what the Aussies desperately need. It's difficult to tell if Katich blocks Gambhir deliberately, but obviously the officials didn't think so as Katich hasn't been charged with anything.

Worst case scenario for Gambhir is that he's banned from the next game which could be crucial if Australia hang on in this Test. Given that he's got history and has barged into Afridi only last year, that's got to be a big concern - his previous 65% fine doesn't seem to have deterred him from repeating the incident, so they may feel a ban is now required which will be a big loss to India given his form over the first 3 Tests.
