His first wicket for the match though.... Would be relieved that he is not finishing this match wicketless! 

Saved his figures today in his last 5 overs, otherwise he played bad...

Banjo this game would be very different if not for the spin stylings of Kedar Jadhav.

 

Somehow the guy keeps picking up wickets.  Wait till he gets a chance to bat at #4 one of these days, with only 4 outfielders in the middle overs.  He's going to rip some team a new one.

Incredible how no one in the management had thought of giving Jadhav a go at 4 with spin playing major role in middle overs....he needs to be occasionaly promoted to 4 if spin is in attack

It's a classic case of giving a million dollars to a beggar and chances are he won't know wot to do with it. Similarly Bdesh got a grand start of 100+ and they had no clue wot to do with it. Or as joker said in Batman, like a dog chasing a car and when the car stops dog doesn't know wot to do with it.

sore at Ind Markhor fans would be upset at BD's performance

[zen]

Can BD fight back?

[diga]

Pity the toygers... They could have scored 300 only if they had calm nerves. 120 for no loss in the 20th over to 220 all out . Some jinx with 20 for them

We started Poorly.

[zen]

Liton had 121 and 2 other batsmen had 30 each, so 180-190 came from 3 batsmen .... If BD can reduce India to 50/4 kind of situation, the balance of our supposedly struggling middle-lower order would have to get 170 odd, which can be tricky

Been saying it for donkey's years, he's not a power hitter, but is a very clever gap hitter.  With 4 fielders in the deep, this guy is almost a lock to hit a boundary per over.  

 

Not only that, I'd put Virat at #4 too.  Cricinfo recently did an article on this - I've been writing it on here for almost 2 years now.

 

In Virat's absence for the Asia Cup I'd have gone with this as our batting lineup -

 

Rohit

Dhawan

Rayudu/Rahul

Jadhav

Pandya

Karthik - I'd have gone with Pant (play him as a batter if not a keeper, but play him) - 

Dhoni

 

Shift Rahul up to open and rotate the openers whenever you get a chance. And the #4/5 spot is not some riyasat bestowed by the Emperor on a long-serving general.  Its a team position to be utilized in the team's best interests.

Right! So that wicket would make his overall figures look quite respectable now. That's why he is exulting that much that his "bad day" does not look that BAD for future reference.

Ok that's quite funny but its going to give an ulcer to the lurking passhunate toyger fans.  How dare you compare their great nashun to a bhou bhou
