Cricket_Guru Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 i think rauf has ben excellent in this game including the pietersen and morgan fiasco
Midfielder Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 But this Rauf dude will have a negative impact on this game. That decision was huge.
Captain of Bhangra Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Odd, as much as I wish it was out, I thought it wasn't. An English colleague of mine was obviously happy, but he thought it should have been out...
SachDan Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 100 hundreds between Sachin,Dravid and Laxman! 51,33,16..wow!! Legends :hail:
Utalk Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 All three are true greats. What makes them special is their uniqueness. Dravid will fight till the very end and will make sure that team doesn't get rolled over cheaply. Laxman will counter attack and overturn near impossible tasks. Tendulkar is tendulkar.
anotherhawkeye Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 My worst fears are coming true. I'm hoping for better performance in the second innings from GG, Laxman and Raina. Might be too late to save the test.
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 When will you declare if you are Strauss I think under pressure, the indian batting order will wilt in 120 overs max so iam already leading by 188. and i have 180 overs at my disposal. i will bat for 60 overs at 3.5 = 210 so i will give a target of 400 at 120 overs. ============ mods i think this thread deserves to stay
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 if we had sehwag... strauss wouldnt dare give that target. he will give say 450 to win 100 overs thats the importance of having sehwag's presence in the team... he will hit or not is not the point. his reputation is scary.
Guest Gunner Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 We will draw this..... There I said it!! Get behind the team...
anotherhawkeye Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 We might. Even if not, it's a long series. We'll come back and level/win the series.
Dhondy Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 You see the level of denial among Indian fans, Bumps? These are like incurable zombies hooked on IPL. They don't think like you. Fans deserve the team they get. Why, Tendulkar played IPL and sat out the WI Test series. He was streets ahead of Dravid in terms of form before WI- roles are reversed because Dravid didn't take the easy way out. Yuvraj opted out of WI with a minor chest infection and has been displaced by Raina. The same fate has befallen Sreesanth- PK has his place, while the former looks like a sumo wrestler- lost his fitness, lost his place, addicted to Twitter & IPL, like his fellow Indians. You don't prepare for the most important Test series of the year by playing in a never ending 20-20 tournament and skipping/missing the build up Tests. Tendulkar, Gambhir, Sehwag, Sreesanth, Yuvraj- all are culpable.
Sooda Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 ^Yes, but it is not going anywhere sadly. The bigger point is the cricket boards greed and incredibly poor planning and scheduling.
