fineleg Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Ticz fav bloody legend is needed? The rest of the indian bowlerz (surprizingly EVEN kumble!!!) is so sleepy, and fielding pathetic too? Cmon India. You are the same team that walloped Aus and won the Test series 2-1. Cmon...This is a home series against lesser (but still good) opposition. Wake up and hammer the saffies now!!!!
graphic23 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Let them get hammered in the morning session. They'll hopefully come back in the afternoon session.
Vignesh Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 History states that India have comeback after lunch here @ chepauk bowling a side that was @135/0 at lunch and that side was bowled out for 235 with Kumble picking 7/48 then.............
Zakhmi Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 session to session, the balance may change. Lets wait and watch as to how the remaining post lunch and post tea sessions take place.
DomainK Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 History states that India have comeback after lunch here @ chepauk bowling a side that was @135/0 at lunch and that side was bowled out for 235 with Kumble picking 7/48 then............. History shall be repeated.
Zakhmi Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 A good sign to hear and a bright aspect of history, lets see whats there in today at Chepauk.
Willow_on_fire Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Indians bowlers have to get wickets asap...to make a match out of this...or else SA will impose a mammoth total.
varun Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Bah, it's gonna be a draw what with the slow low batting wicket, and the rain and all. Borefest.
Vignesh Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 @ Varun It ain't rainin here..............The sun is beating down at its best............ No signs of rain sucka..........

DomainK Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Here is the match: It was against Australia: http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/64100.html
fineleg Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 With such pitches as today, BCCI is killing Test cricket. I hope Indian batsmen do not create demons in their minds about the pitch when they bat against Steyn, Ntini and Morkel. If SA bat a huge score, then atleast we should take this as batting practice on a "home pitch", pile up the runs,draw and move on.
King Tendulkar Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 BCCI are indeed killing test cricket with these pitches. Also these flat pancakes just dont suit the indian team anymore. Pitches with something in it for the bowlers usually mean an indian win
f.b.m Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Just wait, its the first day. There are 4 remaining.
King Tendulkar Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Every time a home test series comes around I braely feel like watching them now cos of the pitches! They are just so flat these days and dont even break up day 4 and 5 now!
fineleg Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 Every time a home test series comes around I braely feel like watching them now cos of the pitches! They are just so flat these days and dont even break up day 4 and 5 now! Absolutely. BCCI makes Test matches a snore affair, when they could have been very gripping and exciting prospect! All the riches and millions made in IPL circus and other ODI circus, the honchos can invest some of those $$$ made via circus, to make sporting and superb Test match pitches...instead! :banghead:
King Tendulkar Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 The funny thing is pitches with something in it for the bowers suit us. As our batters are as good as any in coping and it helps our bolwers who usually need something in the pitch to be effective! This pitch is pathetic. I GUARANTEE THIS MATCH IS A DRAW AND A BORE DRAW AT THAT!
graphic23 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I hope this match is a draw. Looking at the complacency in our fielding and bowling, I'm quite worried that it might also creep into our batting. If they can apply themselves for the first few balls, and just stay in, we can easily overhaul this score, especially if Sehwag fires; Jaffer is not going to get bogged down either. But I'm worried because most of the times when batting is easy on the wicket, we come with overconfidence and lose wickets before Dravid has to consolidate. Will be good to restrict them to 400 or below, and get a score of around 500 ourselves though. Looking forward to our batting.
amits Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 u ppl r forgetting the 2001 test match v aus when aus were 326/3 on day 1 & ended up LOSING. india have been slow starters in chennai
