kabira Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I still think pitch is not as flat as Ahmedabad or Kanpur. Too bad, SL got hit by Veeru bug, its still not flat by any means. Spinners were taken to cleaners. Faster bowlers had no clue where to bowl. Spinners need closing fielders, then only they can work on batsman getting out. Sehwag and Murli did not allow that. They had gameplan of disrupting both the spinners. From there on its all catch up. You will see SL fold under 200 in 2nd innings with fielders closing in.
kabira Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 Better bowling by spinners, especially Murli. Pitch aint that flat.
saneindian Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Plenty of turn for the spinners and some movement off the pitch for the seamers. And like any typical wicket with lots of red soil, it will start crumbling from day 4 onwards. We can already see the glimpses of that once Viru has got out.
DomainK Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 This pitch is not flat at all. When we bowl tomorrow, there will be even more help for bowlers.
kabira Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 Veeru just played exceptional innings by attacking Lankan bowlers. The pitch has plenty of help if know how to use it.
Show_stopper Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Even if it was a patta wicket...there is no way SL are escaping this one. And yes not even MSD can prevent a 2-0 series defeat for the Lankans.
