Thats cos Pak batsmen are **** even on flat pitches , Inthe end you cannot blame the pitch . Our bowling has been screwing up more than our batting but dosent get the blame cos bowling out opposition for ~300 is seen as a big achivement for us being used big totals back home  . its actually not , if you concede 300 on a 220 par pitch is no different from the batsmen puttin up 160 ? Add to that our genius mgmt goes in with a batsmen short on such pitches . you really cant blame for Rahane not playing his natural game when he knows hes immediately followed by DK/Saha .

You mean catching.

you havent see Pak fielding/catching ? We just dont create enough chances compared to Pak bowlers

When these sky commentrators Bob Willis,Artheton etc talk, I can suddenly see them go in the middle of the conversation "Ganga Din tum chai garam nahi laata hai,hum tumhe 20 whip lashes marega. tum samajhta?"

Dhawan and Rahul are openers so they are competing for the same spot.So it is natural to bring Rahul into discussion when Dhawan is being discussed. 

 

Dhawan has played 6 more tests and their stats are not that different. I never said Dhawan should play but he has reason to feel wronged given how well others have performed.

Vijay is also opner.he scored even lesser than Rahul,however that is not the point. Dhawan is not suitable for test matches and added to his pathetic slip fielding he should not have been selected at the first place.

Thank God I am busy elsewhere, watching this comedy show live would have been infuriating. Hopefully will get around to watch our bowling show.

We have worst drop percentage to Pacers in last few years Pak are in top 4 where as we are at bottom.

Anyone other than Shastri might have been better things might have been different under Kumble he had his plans for the overseas tour not saying that we would win 5-0 but at least unlike Shastri he would have kept quiet than say something idiotic that we will be at home in England after T20 and Odi series or under me team will be world beaters.We need a professional coach who knows what he is doing rather than a cheerleader who just speaks without using his mind.

Where were Kumble plans when Roston Chase saved one test by batting whole day. These guys were dropping dollies in slips under Kumble and they are doing so under Shastri too.

 

Coach can do only so much , he is not a miracle worker.

Don't be so negative pandu.  Darkest before dawn, and all that jazz.

 

Got to hang in there with the team.  

I would take a 5-0 thrashing only if they kick out shastri after the tour and get someone who knows what he is doing.

Pujara's wkt would hurt Ind as it wanted someone to battle it out there and see off the tricky moments

Just saw the run out. Waste of a wicket that. The fielder did not have to do anything exceptional. As easy as they could get. Run upto the stump and take out the bails. Gully cricket stuff, not even club level.

The previous coach caused rebellion because he wanted changes, the current coach backed by the players does nothing but just have a good ol time. Don't you see a pattern here? while we are on the same page about the players not focusing enough, Don't think Kumble and Shastri even belong in the same sentence.

Raining again..horrible weather. It’s better to not bat again today. Hopefully bat tomorrow and get atleast 170.

Well you might be mistaking me for someone else. However, Rohit's belly is acting as a shield to all my blessings. I have already sent him a book on Hatha Yoga before he can receive it again.
