Sehwag's field placement, our catching and fielding

[Kohum]

yes either an Indian victory or a draw..i do agree with u for once

I don't think we will lose this. NZ will really struggle to take 20 wickets. If anything, if we can put up 500+ and get some early NZ wickets, you never know. :winky:

[suraj]

I hope we just let Sehwag do what he does best- batting like a madman he should never be considered for these leadership roles- captain, vice-captain etc etc he does them the same way as he bats

They absolutely deserve to win this one and we deserve to lose.

^ Our team was showing good discipline in prev match, ODIs etc. Just what happened in this Test!? puzzling!!!

Hold your horses susan. The test is just 2 days, 1 innings and 23 overs old. No team 'deserves' to win or lose. Whoever plays better cricket over the next three days will get the result in their favour. This is the advantage of a 5 day game. You can always come back. There's always a second chance. BTW were you also hoping and rooting for an OZ win during Kolkata 2001 after the second day when the scores were Aus - 445 and India 127/8?

[fineleg]

^ No suraj. I really want our team to draw this match somehow. Be it batting brilliance of RD+SRT+Lax+Yuvi, rain, umpiring favoring us, whatever. Too depressing to think the NZ series win is so near, yet so far! Sehwag and GG have screwed it up. We need to fix it now!

[Holysmoke]

We need to fix it now!

Naah, we'll do it tomorrow..:nice:

Well I was dating an Aussie girl @ that time and she was really really hot so.............. :--D but no while I am open minded to pick another team I do pick humans over animals so it was India all the way for me

I really hope you are made to eat your own pie at the end of day five by Indian players. :--D:--D

not going to happen this is NZ's match

[graphic23]

ok.

[satishg]

not going to happen this is NZ's match

hmm fine then..we will win the last one to take the series..anyway i am highly optimistic abt India saving this one..Sehwag always plays this way so u shdn really bank on him to bat really long..Gauti lost his mind and tried to stamp his authority, when the need of the hour was to just bat through the day..well Ishant, he is a tail ender so no use talking abt him..anyway the pitch is really really flat and we threw our wickets away..but the 2 batting now are sensible and have loads of experience to handle this situation..

[graphic23]

Yup. :D One of them, loads of experience in this situation ..58/5 against SA attack in South Africa and got us to 300+ runs. 74/3 against NZ attack on a flat pitch with neither Pollock nor Donald - should be good watching.
