viroo nearly gets bowled twice in a row

dave_dj · « **Reply #2 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:12:15 AM »

Do you think that we are in store for a double ya triple from Veeru - would be great for his confidence. he can then murder the Pakistani attack in the next couple of tests.

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #3 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:14:17 AM »

i hope so. he didnt seem very pleased with his 100, almost bored. he took off his helmet nearly as an afterthought. no smile, no brandish or pointing of the bat.
is this the new Viroo he promised or is it just the easiest pitch in the world?

abhinav · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:16:03 AM »

It is an easy pitch no doubt..prolly even easier the the Multan pitch..but then a 100 is a 100 and in some style it has come as well.

I just have a sneaking feeling though..that he will get bored pretty soon..

I hope I am wrong.

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #5 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:17:59 AM »

SEXY shot by viroo, comes down the pitch and hits it to the right of long on. 25th boundary.
followed by the 26th. great shot over midoff

dave_dj · « **Reply #6 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:19:09 AM »

Veeru has SR over 100 where as Dravid has below 40. It's easy but keeping SR over 100 is not that bad in a test whatever the pitch may be - and he is opening the openings.

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #7 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:22:04 AM »

Akhtar just bowled a ball at 152 kph. Siva commented "bit of a change in action that time, a bit slingier"
anyone else reading deeper into what Siva just said? he was spot on, by the way.

abhinav · « **Reply #8 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:25:47 AM »

Is the ball reversing as well?? Cricinfio mentioend something to that effect.

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2006, 08:31:42 AM »

yeah, chuckthar is getting the ball to reverse.
shoaib akhtar constantly having a chat with either batsmen. they arent even bothering to look in his direction.
dravid collects a 4 past gully, opened the face of the bat there

cool - new DG and away from that horrible rediff blog interface. hi , hello, all :-) a voice from yore here.

kban1 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2006, 09:15:20 AM »

welcome to the DG and this thread

dave_dj · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2006, 09:53:17 AM »

300 for 0 - will they be able to break Pankaj Ray and Vinu Mankad's record of 413 runs?

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2006, 09:54:38 AM »

and does viroo have a rendez vous with Lara's record

dave_dj · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2006, 09:56:13 AM »

57.4 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, one run, short and a bit of width, Sehwag
cuts uppishly and the ball almost carries to the third-man
fielder. That brings up the second fastest double-century in the
history of Test cricket

kban1 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2006, 10:34:01 AM »

dhruv:

did i hear you comment on a MILF sighting ?

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2006, 10:36:40 AM »

yeah, on the other website.

she was pretty happy being on the camera too. next to some kid, so I assumed she was a MILF. she looked quite young so cant confirm on the 'M' part.

btw, i cant be reported for this, can I?

kban1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2006, 10:42:54 AM »

dhruvdeepak:

you will be reported for having exquisite taste in women. That is a SIN on this DG.

We talk about men here --only

RD, SG, GC, RSD (well, maybe Lata, but only in reference to RSD)

and the Sanjay Manjerekar / Ramiz Raja romance with Ramiz referring to "young hard ones"

ROFL

dave_dj · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:08:11 AM »

Is still 413 the record for opening partnership?

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:09:26 AM »

not for long

kban1 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:10:36 AM »

keep your fingers crossed

feverpitch · « **Reply #21 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:12:18 AM »

I suggest VS should go for Lara.

And India should remove the Jayasurya/Mahanama ignominy by posting a 600 partnership and a grand total of exactly 1000 runs!

Any takers?

kban1 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:18:19 AM »

would be nice but will the weather permit that ?

feverpitch · « **Reply #23 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:22:19 AM »

Oh, how I love this. All I ask of the openers is to go for the following:

600 partnership.

Veeru: 401

Veeru: 5x6 in an over [am I sounding greedy?]

Chuckter going for 200 runs in an innings without a wicket!

Is that too much?

kban1 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:24:46 AM »

cricinfo scorecard stuck on 384 / 0

nairash · « **Reply #26 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:37:54 AM »

Any idea of the records for fastest 250 / 300

Who hit the fastest 200...apparently Sehwag's is the second fastest

kban1 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:41:20 AM »

Nathan Astle hit the fastest 200 against england. he broke Adam Gilchrist's record set just a month prior to that.

I believe VS is the 2nd fastest 300 scorer behind hayden --he was in line to break that but slowed down a tad at multan.

250 -- dont know --there have been too many 250+ scores.

astles 200 was in one of those tiny NZ fields with incredibly short boundaries...

kban1 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:53:01 AM »

true but it was an incredible assault -- in the 4th innings with a 500+ target needed to win. And with pretty much cairns (injured) and the tail for company he took the score to 400 something before NZ were dismissed and lost the test.

splendid innings. of course smaller ground meant boundaries came easier

feverpitch · « **Reply #30 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:53:20 AM »

just checked,

England 1st innings against NZ, 1965 R M B 4 6
JH Edrich not out 310 532 450 52 5

kban1 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:57:02 AM »

and VS has how many ? 46 ?

feverpitch · « **Reply #32 on:** January 16, 2006, 11:57:26 AM »

So veeru needs another two overs from rana or sami
