Discussing the 2nd test between India and SA at Kolkata, 2010

[davidcooper]

After VVS has the highest score of the Innings ... I have bet on it .. real money :secret:

:punter:

[dial_100]

New ball in the evening may not be very helpful. let them sleep over worrying about how far are they trailing. Let the preasure sink in. Rest will be easier.

Really like some of the comments mentioned above :two_thumbs_up:

Yesterday, Sachin & Laxman tried to visit Kalighat. Laxman was mobbed till he was blue in the face, while Sachin couldn't get out of his car. Our kind of cricket. Another generation of children will be converted to cricket soon. Goodbye academic excellence, hard work, initiative and self respect. Hullo to cricket idolatry, simulated partisanship (oh yeah, Kolkata Riders v Rajasthan Royals does it everytime for me) and whiling away hours in front of the TV. Grow up, India.

You seem quite miffed :giggle:

Depends on the weather. If there is even a 5% chance of rain tomorrow as indicated here ,I would bat for ten more overs and declare.

[Karan114]

All things considered' date=' I would be happy with a lead of 100 from here. The tailenders can be blown away by Steyn pretty quickly and neither Dhoni nor VVS has a good record against SA.[/quote'] I'm perfectly happy to have been epically pwned here (although I consider it tactical pessimism) :cantstop:

[Sachinism]

lets come out fresh tomorrow and bowl them out

[Guest Gunner]

Another 50 runs should do. 350 is a massive lead in a test match.

[zubinpepsi]

we shud get those 50 runs in 10 overs and declare.. so SAF get atleast 10 overs to bat this evening

[DomainK]

Two more great centuries By the guy who had Sehwag figured out even before the series started. 115 and going.:two_thumbs_up: And his mate who seems to have championed the art of staring the batsmen up and down. 115 and going. :two_thumbs_up:

[Gunner_Mania]

BUMP

[davidcooper]

lets come out fresh tomorrow and bowl them out

fresh? the bolwers have been sitting in the dressing room for a long time, it's the SA batsmen who will be dead tired:giggle:

[Gunner_Mania]

lets come out fresh tomorrow and bowl them out

Bowl a few overs tonight and again be fresh to attack tomorrow. The South Africans won't want to bat tonight. Tired after 2 days in the field and having to negotiate a few overs, there is a chance of one or two wickets.

[zubinpepsi]

dhoni is gonna declare soon.... he started hitting.. 2 6s ina row..

[DomainK]

Take that....:yay:

[diegovegaz]

smith is most likely to fall early, thanks to zaheer we should focus on amla and kallis amla drops anchor and is very difficult for us to get him dismissed so probably declare 40 mins to stumps

[zubinpepsi]

welcome back to mother earth fkers...

[King Tendulkar]

Declare and have a bowl today. Fat Smith will be knackered from fileding for nearly 2 days

"Neo Cricket's L Siva says he spoke to Sourav Ganguly who reckons India should bat through till the end and declare overnight. And use the morning freshness on the wicket to attack." - Cricinfo

What is with this Neo Cricket's Siva, Neo Cricket's Sunny Gavaskar? I think this has started after Cricinfo became ESPN Cricinfo.

[King Tendulkar]

We have to declare now. 347 lead is massive
