kabira Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 You guys don't realize, how well our spinners have bowled. It was superb piece of spin bowling, hardly giving away anything, plenty of variations etc. I see Sree and Zak cleaning up the tail quickly. Ball was reversing a lot.
Shane Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Not bothered about their spinners, its the uneven bounce which bothers me and esp with someone like Mitchell Johnson.
Andy Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Mark my words they'll add up another 75-100 runs for 3 wickets. We all know how we have bowled to the tail in the past.
putrevus Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Our spinners bowled awesome and it is folly to think that Zaheer should have been brought as soon as Hussey came to crease, he did in first innings and it helped them score easily and gave them confidence.
putrevus Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Mark my words they'll add up another 75-100 runs for 3 wickets. We all know how we have bowled to the tail in the past. how long will they bat to add those runs.
kabira Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Mark my words they'll add up another 75-100 runs for 3 wickets. We all know how we have bowled to the tail in the past. well if they do that, they will be batting entire session, which means test will be draw.
Andy Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 how long will they bat to add those runs. 1st session surely. Once lead goes past 250 they'll declare.
putrevus Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 1st session surely. Once lead goes past 250 they'll declare. Honestly that will help India more you know, Sehwag will be give license to hit, if he comes off fine other wise they will play for the draw.
Andy Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Honestly that will help India more you know' date=' Sehwag will be give license to hit, if he comes off fine other wise they will play for the draw.[/quote'] Can we survive two sessions? Once sehwag goes? 3 Rookies in that line up.
kabira Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 1st session surely. Once lead goes past 250 they'll declare. I don't think Aussies can afford to bat entire session. They have to win this game to draw the level. Its better to lose 2-0 then go for a draw.
IT_Anxiety_NJIT Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 What are chances of rain tomorrow?? Is it safe to bet for a draw??
Fontaine Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Not bothered about their spinners' date=' its the uneven bounce which bothers me and esp with someone like Mitchell Johnson.[/quote'] And how many wickets did that uneven bounce account for? Two maybe (pujara/sree?). Chasing around 220 (but no more than that) is very much achieveable on this pitch. The new ball will be easy to score from considering there is no conventional swing and the outfield is still very quick. Really, if Sehwag just shows some restraint/application in seeing off their first 12 overs he's capable of making this chase straightforward if he hangs around for 25 overs or so. I'm telling you, apart from their new ball bowlers they have nobody that can really threaten/unsettle our middle order. All it takes is for our openers to see of Johnson/Hilf in this first spell.
b555 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Yes' date=' the class of the man, will help save us, afterall he is one of the top 3 batsman that our country has ever produced. (after SRT and Gavaskar) He is due a "Wall" Innings.[/quote'] hope he does it :nervous:
coffee_rules Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Sehwag and Dravid will take India through in this one.
Ram Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Oh come onn...This is will be the third consecutive 200+/day 5 chase for us in three matches! Why, o why? :(( The only saving grace is that, unlike the last two matches, we don’t have to negotiate 100+ overs. It is probably going to be a 230 target in 70 overs. The question is, what kind of approach will our batsmen take? The Aussies will be buoyed though. They saw how the last 5 wickets fell like dominoes. If they can get Viru and Sach, with no Gautam and VVS, there’s a genuine prospect of an Aussie win as well.
Deleted_User_1 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 This test is done! India will fall like a pack of cards. I feel it, you know where!!!!
putrevus Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 this is because of our great captain played another gem of knock. Sachin scored 214 how much more can one man do, others need to chip in starting with our captain. Sachin is now expected to see India thru with the chase,Sachin must be thinking common 21 years and counting I still have carry this team. honestly,Viru is lottery and there are three rookies.
