Discussion during Kanpur test vs SA,2008

[Gambit]

You guys didn't get it. Cricketics creates such threads to jinx opposition's players. He's done it earlier as well labeling other teams/bats/bowlers as 'boring/pathetic' etc. Evidently, it worked today as well as Smith got out soon after this thread was created.

has the fire power to be one of the best players of all time

[Kartikey]

He is way better than punter.

[DomainK]

Is 265 too big a first innings score on this track? India's famous batting lineup will be tested. I have a feeling that 265 will prove too much for India.

[Kartikey]

errr..............its 265.

[Gambit]

Two of the top 5 will need 100s for us to win this.

[Laaloo]

lets hope sehwag and yuvi score 100's and others chip in with a few decent scores

[sm332]

I hardly reckon it will be too much ... I think people are still reeling from 76 and hence are doubting thomases, this team has put huge scores in the recent past. I have to trust that we are due a collective innings after all

[Kartikey]

nah, i dont think its that much. Whenever the team is questioned, they bounce back, I can see Laxman making a good score.

[Cricketics]

They say, it's always good to wait for the day to get over before getting carried away and making a thread rite away which makes u look "FOOLISH" and u are looking foolish rite now mr. blue brigade

[Laaloo]

oh man some indians are just too funny

[Cricketics]

is Sehwag stays for 2 and half sessions.. it's just one great thing for India because he will pick up India's run rate and batting fast on this pitch would just demoralize saf bowlers a bit and would help India too.. btw, wicket wasn't as bad as it is rite now.. so giving 70 odd runs in first session with 1 wicket was a decent enought score.. we did a good come back later the day which should help India now when they come to bat.. Sehwag as i told above will be the key.

[Rohip]

Sehwag as i told above will be the key.

On this pitch Sehwag is only good for making tea

[Zakhmi]

Perhaps they are a better team than India??? If they win this one' date=' IMO they are the second best behind the Aussies.[/quote'] Koi shakkk...! We lack professionalism, team spirit, winning-determination and the attitude that...each one playing for India can mend the ways of our team and its luck.

[Cricketics]

On this pitch Sehwag is only good for making tea

pitch doesn't decide how sehwag will play n stuff.. it's sehwagz shot selection which does.. Sehwag is a kind of player who can smash any bowling attack in the world on any wicket.. his game tells that he doesn't need good/bad wicket to get out on or score runs on.. u provide him flat track or a green top.. he will bat in similar style..

If he can make tea, we will be in a very good position to be honest.

Exactly.......He does not care whether he is playing in South Africa or in OZ or in India, he will play the same everywhere he goes.

[Shehezaada]

that's a good idea but he bowled pretty well today, maybe he can be more effective with this advice. Kumble is sure to talk to him overnight

[Zakhmi]

hi :haha::haha::haha: hi :haha::haha::haha: hi :haha::haha::haha: VS knows his place is fixed in the squad for coming 2 series after a knock of 319 and Yuvi isn't serious about cricket these days. So, why not excuse both of them and let us expect something good from WJ, SG, VVS and RD. :eyedance::eyedance::eyedance:

:giggle: 2 and half sessions he will pick up India's run rate :D batting fast on this pitch would just demoralize saf bowlers :hysterical: VS batting for 2 1/2 sessions, a longing dream since dozens of innings ( except that 319 )... picking up run rate isn't at all needed, he must stand on the crease ( for 2 1/2 sessions )... saf bowlers didn't get demoralize when Aussies scored 400+ in that historic ODI, instead of trying to demoralize them why not we play with higher degree of technique and determination.
