When should India declare ?

lol dandroy' date=' tu toh different banda lag rah hai.. kya hua??[/quote'] Except once or twice I never take criticisms or gaalis here seriously. If you were sitting next to me and a good friend this is how I would talk to you. After all, despite all the pessimism and the strong criticism, I am as hardcore an Indian fan as you are. We just have different ways of showing it.

lol dandaroy itz all good.. same offcourse when i criticize u of being over critical of Indian team and curse u here n there a bit, then offcourse the first thing i expect from the person being cursed is to take it in a friendly gesture and ignore it.. good u have such standing..

India's lead is 99 runs with 69 overs to go. Bat another 15 overs, then if wickets are in hand, slap the aussie bowlers around for 10-15 more overs and declare. Pity Tendy had to get out when he did, especially the way he did. Still if Veeru, Gangu, Laxy and Dhoni score another 150 in next 25-30 overs, we can at least *try* to win.......

Are you guys serious? Australia with their bowling attack was not able to take a single wicket in the entire session and you want India to put up a sporting target?

[Cricketics]

YAA shwetabh, aussie bowlerz suck Indian team has legendz all over the middle order.. aussies don't

[sandeep]

you honestly think they can score at 6 rpo for more than 30 overs on Day 5 in a test match? I'm not saying that they should set a gettable target - but setting a gettable + 50-60 runs is definitely worth it IMHO.

Very tough decision to make. I say declare about 20 mins before tea but if Sehwag gets out right after lunch then forget about declaration.

The idea is to challenge the Aussies. There you go...chase that if you can, the old Aussie sides would, go have a go, do it for Gilly...or are you just a bunch of ***** has beens?

we have such a great fighter in the team, namely sehwag.. why can't all bloody legendz come together and take the decision and give it back to the aussies.. show them, we ain't no england against whom u are playing ashes series for nothing.. we are INDIA FOLKZ..

[putrevus]

Aussies bowled 24 overs today till lunch , if they bowl at same rate we need another 100 runs so that will take till tea so you think , we can get 10 wickets in 30 overs after tea , i dont think so

If India to declare, it has to be realistic..not so dumb that it would be impossible I'd day 220ish in 30 overs

[chanakya]

when we get all out ??

[Rajiv]

We can forget abt decalring now,

[DomainK]

Can we bat long enough to save the match?

[sandtest]

Just give Aussies 200 to chase, that would be a comeptitive total with game open for any side and of course a draw....anything below that will be a danger for us.

[Grim Reaper]

Can we bat long enough to save the match?

Yes we sure can. Only 45 overs remaining for today. If we are able to bat 25 overs more, things should be cool.

[sandtest]

KUMBLE...Declare NOW...Declare NOW. We have 200 on board and 35 overs left....if something good happens with spin bowling who knows we can even bowl out Aussies in 35 overs. There is No way we are gonna loose now....Please declare....

agree with this...they just hit 200 so they hopefully declare soon.,...but it seems to me they aren't trying to win

[Sachinism]

210 lead now 15 overs + last hour left
