deepak_sach Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 The way the pitch is crumbling and turning square,it only made me laugh to hear the curator speaking before the match. He said : 1.Indians dont like short balls. 2.Pitch will be the fastest for a long time.:haha: 3.It wont spin at all.:haha: 4.It will be a batting paradise on Day 2(as it wont spin):haha: JOKE THIS CURATOR IS REALLY>...........THE PITCH IS A BUNSEN BURNER
Pagalpanti Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 He was right about the 1st and 2nd point, although the pitch looks like 4th or 5th day wicket already. I'm sure WI will crumble today. If India do manage to put up 250+ in 3rd innings, for WI to chase anything over 250 will be like chasing 400+ on any normal wicket.

deepak_sach Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 In an Interview after Yesterdays match raina openly said that two batsman in the west indies lineup "DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY SPIN".The WI reports were shocked at such a frank statement.
deepak_sach Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 sorry typo error ,reporters not reports.
Rahul Dravid Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 BHAJJI is gonna rip thru Windies.. and then Dravid's century... Windies goinnng down
King Tendulkar Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 This is actually a great test match pitch. Makes thrilling viewing Has pace and bounce. Has turn. And can play great shots as well as evidenced by Raina and Bhaji. Well done to the curator!
vvvslaxman Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Forget about helping a team. It is a substandard pitch for batsmen.
yoda Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 how is this substandard pitch? the bounce seems even. :dontknow:
vvvslaxman Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 how is this substandard pitch? the bounce seems even. :dontknow: No bounce is not even. Lot of balls hardly bounced. SOme of them just took off because of cracks.
yoda Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 No bounce is not even. Lot of balls hardly bounced. SOme of them just took off because of cracks. guess i haven't been watching every ball, from what i've seen, it seemed ok.
ganeshran Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Bounce is fine. Good pitch Bounce is very uneven on the pitch.
vvvslaxman Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Guys pitch is a horrible pitch. that is an understatement.
ganeshran Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 ^ :agree: 5th day would be a minefield if the pitch continues to crumble, i.e. if the match even manages to stretch till then
Ultimate_Game Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 ^ :agree: 5th day would be a minefield if the pitch continues to crumble' date=' i.e. if the match even manages to stretch till then[/quote'] Can't see this go on past tea on Day 3.
vvvslaxman Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Last time Lara was extremely pissed off with sabina park pitch. He just stood and stared at the wicket after he was dismissed. Dravid produced two gems in that Test. Time for another. It requires great skill, temperament,judgement to last on a pitch like this against couple of decent fast bowlers.
ganeshran Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Sammy will be difficult to handle on this pitch. His slower pace can exploit the variable bounce better.
