I think he will bat for an hour, and try to get to 450 or so.

Agree..

AK is under the weather, so if MSD goes, we should declare

what happened to AK?

Commies saying that he is sick..not a lot of detail yet. He is still at the hotel and will not be at the ground today!!

Zaheer gone!!

Zaheer looked like he was woken up from a nap.

Only VRV and RPS left..

Well, if AK cant bowl, we may as well bat on.

Dhoni gone..

Declared at 387/8

Dhoni gone. KK- comments please?

LosingNow · « **Reply #89 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:30:00 AM »

8-0 in first ZK over. Streaky 4 though

fineleg · « **Reply #90 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:31:51 AM »

Its ok going in with the intent of scoring quick runs in first 30 mins or 60 mins.
But still the lack of ability to execute it (plan) even against Bangles is really poor.

Even if you want to score quick in 30 mins - u need to play urself in for 2 overs at the start!!!

That VRV singh is a horrible, horrible tailender who does not even know how to hold a bat - and just swishes it - did not help MSD either!

fineleg · « **Reply #91 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:33:51 AM »

Look at our "new generation" tailenders - one would think bowlers of today will bat a bit better than Bedi & Chandra.
Nope.

RP Singh (only tad better)
Munaf Patel
VRV Singh
Ramesh Powar (far below expectation)

Really poor tailenders.

Sreesanth may be the only saving grace!

So this is what the deshbhakt kachchha bachchhas [who are often denied their rightful place by the greedy and aging maharathis] did against the minnows:

India 1st innings      R    M    B    4s    6s    SR
W Jaffer    b Mashrafe Mortaza      0    1    1    0    0    0.00
KD Karthik    c Ashraful b Mortaza    56    146    102    8    0    54.90
R Dravid   c w-kMashud b Hossain    61    154    99    11    0    61.61
MS Dhoni    c Omar b Mortaza      36       38    6    0    94.73
RR Powar    b Mohammad Rafique    7    16    12    1    0    58.33
A Kumble    retired hurt      1       9    0    0    11.11
Z Khan    c w-k Mashud b Hossain    0       3    0    0    0.00
VRV Singh    not out      1       6    0    0    16.66

And this is what the selfish maharathis, who should retire on their own and save indian cricket further blushes, did:

SR Tendulkar    c Ashraful b Hossain    101    274    169    9    0    59.76
SC Ganguly    c Rafique b Mortaza    100    222    165    13    2    60.60

Extras    (b 2, lb 8, w 2, nb 12)    24

Total    (8 wickets dec; 98.5 overs)    387

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Since we've also discussed first inning lead, follow on, etc, lets take the contribution of the two out of the equation, and see where we stand:

387-201 = 186

imo, not good for follow on, unless the minnows inflict one on the big cats!

Very well said. I think we should 'save' the Maharathis for exactly these kind of big games. We should save them for all bangladesh and zim games. It would be a great seva to the country

Javed Omar gone.. bad LBW decision. Pitched outside leg

LN

From Cricinfo : RP Singh to Javed Omar, OUT, pitched on leg stump, cutting in, Omar gets on the backfoot, tries to turn it away to the on side, gets trapped in front of the stumps, easy decision for the umpire

Why are you saying "Bad decision" ??

feverpitch · « **Reply #97 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:11:50 AM »

You mean, CP that you don't want India to play any other country, right?

Because if your teenaged teamsters cant face Bongo lollypops, guess what they'll do against the likes of Lee/Ntini?

CI is wrong.
Ball clearly pitched outside leg.
The commentators talked about it, at length and now Darryl Cullinan is smiling at Arun Lal's comment that RPS was lucky to get the first wicket.

RPS bowling well.. 143KPH

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #101 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:33:07 AM »

How is RPS bowling? I know he got 2 wickets, but does he look penetrative or were they freak dismissals?

LosingNow · « **Reply #102 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:40:32 AM »

Bowled fast..was wayward.
Troubled Omar and his wicket (even though not out) was "earned".
Bashar slashed at a ball outside off leaving him.. and SRT took a blinder. He should have left it alone..perhaps give some credit to RPS for that wicket.

I am surprised he has 11 wickets in 3 tests so far.

To me it looks like batsmen take him easy and he gets the loose-play wickets.

LosingNow · « **Reply #103 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:41:55 AM »

Nafees gone. ZK strikes. Good take by SRT again. 47/3

vijay · « **Reply #104 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:43:36 AM »

That was a good wicket. Nafees was looking really good.

LosingNow · « **Reply #105 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:47:09 AM »

Agree.. ZK bowling better in this spell. Pitching it up and inviting batsmen to drive

VRV looks very ordinary

LosingNow · « **Reply #107 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:51:42 AM »

VRV keeps knocking the stumps over with his bowling hand.

Clearly SS and MP are better RH bowling options in tests.

Cricinfo update
India's administrative manager Surendra Bhave just informed that Anil Kumble is suffering from high fever and is under medication. He has arrived at the ground, though. John Gloster is watching him, and if the fever doesn't come down, they might send Kumble back to the hotel to rest.

LosingNow · « **Reply #110 on:** May 21, 2007, 06:56:09 AM »

RPS strikes again.. Kartik takes a beauty. 58/4. Man, he dove like a keeper. He has been quite a find in the field.

I thought Powar was bowling well.. he was giving it a good flight.

We are missing Kumble, who could have done the clean-up job.
