Jersey #10 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I can sense 500+ runs by saffies. Link to comment
Gunner_Mania Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think I am going to sleep through the morning session tomorrow and hopefully the Saffies will be a few wickets down by lunch:pray: Link to comment
Jersey #10 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 SA is here with proper planning and strategies against all players. I hope Indians have counter strategies to at least draw the match. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 They needed strategy to counter Harbhajan? :hysterical: Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 i am glad others have noticed the bowling change in bhajji.his line has drifted to the leg stump for right handers.I thought this was a limited overs problems but it has infected even his test match bowling.i was expecting bhajji to be a match winner for us but he has dissapointed me so far.

saneindian Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 291 runs in one day is a good enough effort. On similar tracks our team has piled up upwards of 375 runs in a day. 1 or 2 additonal wickets would have been handy but with no turn or no reverse swing available yet, the effort was good enough. The pacers ran in with purpose, Mishra kept flighting the ball. Only disappointment was Bhajji who seems to have hit a very rough patch and doesnt have any control over what he is bowling. maybe MSD missed a trick , Sehwag or even badri could have bowled a few more overs.

vvvslaxman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Good call. Badri actually can bowl. Wonder why he was never used. If not for anything atleast to share some load. Link to comment

nballa Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 agreed, keeping them down below 300 in 90 overs is pretty commendable. things didn't completely drift away. if we can keep their first innings total below 400 and count on sehwag to deliver one of those triple century in a day effort and take a lead of around 200 then we can still win this thing.

asterix Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 They needed strategy to counter Harbhajan? :hysterical: You don't need counter strategy against a pathetic Dart Chucker like Bhajan..:hysterical::hysterical: Link to comment
spectre Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 They needed strategy to counter Harbhajan? :hysterical: I feel sorry for Kepler wasting time on Dartbhajan. They could have atleast used that time to counter Zak Bhajji, Venky needs a partner at Neo sports panel, please go there and spare this poor team Link to comment
urbestfriend Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Lol!! But this dabur is screwing his own country big time !:hysterical: Link to comment
Sooda Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Maybe we need a spin bowling coach :dontknow: Link to comment
Jersey #10 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 ^ How about a personal coach for Harbhajan? :dontknow: Link to comment
satishg Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 he lacks the hunger and feels so secure about his place in the team. Which is a very bad sign and that is not giving him the motivation to perform better. Hope for Indias sake he starts bowling better in this match. If not we should drop him immediately and bring that Ojha instead of him atleast he will bowl much slower than Bhajjis darts Link to comment
satishg Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 damn i slept after the first session hoping to open cricinfo in the morning to see that Kallis and Amla are back in the pavilion but :(( unless Zak does something special i cant see SA scoring less than 450 at least. Ishant doesnt have the mojo now he just comes in and bowls decent line and length, Zak there is something around him when he has the ball u know he can produce us a wicket but Ishant is like fill the slot kinda bowler now..Bhajji is useless and Mishra well the turn is so slow that he cant do much..i am afraid things are looking bleak for us tomorrow :(( Link to comment
Andy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 LMAO they need strategy to counter Bhajji!! :rotfl: Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Lets hope we just escape with a draw. 3 batters injured and saffies piling it on. A draw is all we can do and hope we get it Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think I am going to sleep through the morning session tomorrow and hopefully the Saffies will be a few wickets down by lunch:pray: Push it for end of day's play if you could do :hysterical: . Prepare yourself for 600/6 declared in advance. Link to comment
Karan114 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Bhajji and Zak played a big role with the bat in drawing the Bangalore Test in 2008 against the Aussies...should the top order collapse tomorrow and day 3 then these two may again be needed with the bat...Mishra can also bat. It is imperative we get out of Nagpur with a draw somehow, a lot of good work of the last 18 months will be undone if we collapse here and lose this Test in a two game series, and frankly with newbies Murali, Badri and Saha in there and Sachin's surprisingly awful record against the Saffers at home it is looking ominous for us.
