India Red 38-2 in 5.4
Kaif is in, batting like crap as usual - trying his patented pull shot and has been dropped at slip once and now edged to slip but dropped short. awesome he cant play jogi sharma.
praveen kumar celebrated his call up with a 1
bose bowling, sucking it up. even kaif pulls him for 4...not once but twice.

jogi has given a good account of himself and his bowling abilities in this tournament, gambhir doing a good job out there too.

yuck kaif pops a catch to short cover. bose strikes. that's the end of that. good captaincy by viroo i guess. at least badri gets to come in early. hope he scores a big one today

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #2 on:** October 28, 2007, 11:34:44 AM »

gambhir played a good knock and got out for 82. Reds have struggled since, are on 175-6 in 33.1
Badri is on 50(80) and hasnt hit a boundary yet! fairly struggling out there, but keeping a cool head. he has to accelerate. though he and gambhir did a good job. he is going at around a run a ball now...
he also strikes me as a very fit cricketer. likes to run, and field.

note: with sunglasses on lalchand rajput looks like a scary pedo especially when he smiles.

badri gone lbw! poor decision, looks like there was an inside edge.

Mishra has bowled quite well in this tournament. Good to see several spinners doing well. So now we kinda have mutiple spon choices of every type.
Karthik - Ozha
Bhajji - Powar
Chawla - Mishra

Reds pull to 269..good hitting in the end by Ojha and Rawat.

Badri was not out.. he played more of the anchoring type innings and didn't get the chance to accelerate. GG needs to stay longer .. got out to a silly shot.

Over to Praveen Kumar.

LosingNow · « **Reply #6 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:20:31 PM »

Sehwag dropped on 0 by Kohli of the bowling of Praveen. He is swinging it.. but a bit wayward

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #7 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:21:43 PM »

yuck sehwag gone playing stupidly, leading edge skied and the bowler takes it. bye bye

LosingNow · « **Reply #8 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:22:42 PM »

Munde takes out Sehwag. VS back to his Afridi ways!

LosingNow · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:33:15 PM »

Munde bowling well.. Yadav dropped once by WK and one hard chance through slips. This guy has no technique to survive the moving ball.

LosingNow · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:39:19 PM »

Good fielding gets the wicket.. Paresh's fielding runs out Yadav who was living a charmed life.

Kaif's team is a good fielding unit.. you can add 25 runs to the 269 .. it sucks that Virat and WK dropped catches.. still no damage done, yet

LosingNow · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:40:56 PM »

2 good 4s to start by SR..

LosingNow · « **Reply #12 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:42:29 PM »

3rd 4 by SR ...

LosingNow · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:50:36 PM »

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT ... 444444...RAINA ROCKS.

He threads a packed off side .. (just like SG of old times!!)

..and another pull for 4!

He is ON FIRE. This is fantastic batting.

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:52:42 PM »

raina on fire. why arent you buggers on chat today

Vick · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:57:27 PM »

Bad running by Rahane. I guess little too immature. Or nervous?

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:00:52 PM »

oh my god what a shot by raina!!!!! what form is he in!!!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:02:08 PM »

Raina is playing like a PSYCHO

- showing his anger at not being selected

ru4664 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:04:33 PM »

Raina is causing a rain of runs. chat?

LosingNow · « **Reply #20 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:04:40 PM »

He is scoring off-side boundaries in a packed 7-2 offside field. I hope he carries on.. this is a visual treat.

OldPal · « **Reply #21 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:07:21 PM »

giving some touh time to MK ..
Takes one more PP . should be interesting now..
while i tried to make case of UP pllayer yesterday, was told he is nothign more than mediocore..hope Raina can target somebody else apart from Trivedi

OldPal · « **Reply #22 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:10:36 PM »

Ojha comes in ..
Raina on strike after single

LosingNow · « **Reply #23 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:14:22 PM »

This is good cricket...

Good batting, good running between wickets, good fielding, good captaincy by MK (making good bowling changes and fielding placements), good bowling by PK and Ojha...

Raina - The Angry Young Man

LosingNow · « **Reply #25 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:15:56 PM »

Badri to bowl in PP.. wow...

gouravk · « **Reply #26 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:16:15 PM »

Btw why not Raina as our potential no. 3 ?

OldPal · « **Reply #27 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:16:25 PM »

Badri .. the other angry man

Vick · « **Reply #28 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:18:17 PM »

Praveen Kumar 'The' Jat from Meerut trying to dry the ball by blowing. I love this guy

because we are blinded by the fact that GC liked this guy and saw potential in him...and whatever GC did or tried to do, was ALL BAD.

guys wth are you doing, come to chat

LosingNow · « **Reply #31 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:28:24 PM »

KKD joins the fun.. 6 of BAdri

LosingNow · « **Reply #32 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:29:55 PM »

16 of the Badri over.

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #33 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:30:16 PM »

"Somewhere in Hong Kong, perhaps Greg Chappell, who rated Raina very highly, may be smiling."

Why is he in Hong Kong?

LosingNow · « **Reply #34 on:** October 28, 2007, 02:46:28 PM »

Kaif ...the always thinking captain.. delays the PP.. gets Raina out..and takes PP.. slows things down.

Pity his 2 6s aimed at DBV were off-target

a few matches too late !!!! And some very ordinary bowling ..... and supported by the dew

And a century here is not a guarantee of scores at the Int'l level...KKD is a good Test player and should be kept off ODIs for sometime... RS / Badri make better ODI players

gouravk · « **Reply #39 on:** October 28, 2007, 05:23:54 PM »

DBV is the single largest destructor of Indian cricket in recent times.
