jhakati Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 How can Indians draw this test match? Indians are definitely not gonna get Australia bowled out... so let's say Australia declares on the 3rd day after 2 hours or play with a 350 run lead.. .. then what??? I don't know all the rules of Test Cricket.. but can Indians bat the until the entire 5th day and not give Australia an opportunity to bat at all?? Would that draw the test? just 3 words - hahahahhahaahhahahahaha keep dreaming
Ultimate_Game Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 :hysterical: Our batsmen batting 2+ days to draw the Test when they haven't managed to bat 60 overs most of the time in recent away series and has managed to score 300 once in last 18 away innings :cantstop:

saket123 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Looking at the way Indians are playing, What do you guys think now?
Sachin=GOD Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 they can most certainly do it but a lot of application is needed.
exams Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 To put it in a nutshell.. if we bat to reach a target score.. we will be bowled out.. If we bat just to milk the time.. there is a possibility we can draw. I know we've completely lost hope of this match.. but if given a choice.. what strategy would you like our team to pursue.? Forfeit the game? or something else? The odds of us batting out 200 overs without trying to score runs is much much better than us trying to bat 120 overs and score 600+ runs at over 5 runs an over. batting for time is trully against your natural instinct as a batsman:omg:
exams Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 your natural instinct should be that if it is there to hit i will hit it..if it is to leave i will leave it.. other than that it is all rubbish
exams Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 they can most certainly do it but a lot of application is needed. it is probable but not possible
ganeshran Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 180 overs more to bat out. Unless whole day tomorrow gets washed out, its next to impossible. The max we have batted in the 4th innings in Oz is 141 overs.
Sachin=GOD Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 180 overs more to bat out. Unless whole day tomorrow gets washed out' date=' its next to impossible. The max we have batted in the 4th innings in Oz is 141 overs.[/quote'] I think batting till the 2nd session on day 5 will be enough.
ganeshran Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I think batting till the 2nd session on day 5 will be enough. Still yaar, that is also 120 overs. Plus we would have to set a sizeable lead so they arent able to chase it down. We are down by 350+ . If Oz are to bat again and the match drawn the lead needs to be atleast 200+. Scoring 550+ would be extremely tough
vamos_rafa Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-india-2010/engine/current/match/456670.html This should be an inspiration. SRT played for a whopping 516 minutes to save this match. Raina also chipped in. It's highly unlikely though.
rkt.india Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 It is raining in Sydney right now..Oh...we will get overcast conditions tomorrow. ball will swing, what a bad luck.:nervous:

Scoring 550+ would be extremely tough[/quote'] seeing Goddy and Laxman's record in SCG I have some hope that they can do it. Gambhir also is looking quite good and hasn't made big runs for some time so he can get a big score. Although it may also happen that we may be bowled out within 2 sessions tomorrow :(
adi B Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 If I were duncan fletcher.. here is what I would tell our team after Australia gives us a 400+ run lead. The target should be... Sehwag & Gambhir Partnership - to last 20 overs. Gambhir & Dravid partnership - to last 10 overs Dravid & Tendulkar partnership - to last 60 overs Tendulkar & VVS partnership - to last 40 overs VVS & Kohli Partnership - to last 20 overs Kohli & Dhoni Partnership - to last 25 overs Dhoni & Ashwin Partnership - to last 15 overs Tail-enders all combined = (2 wickets) = 10 overs That takes us to 200 overs. .. which is 2 days and 2 hours... pretty much to bat out until end of day 5. Shoot for maybe scoring around 2 runs an over average. ur not only new to test cricket but also new in trolling
adi B Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 can india do a napier? :hmmm: we batted 180 overs there, but thats just once in a blue moon
FreakazoiD Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 can india do a napier? :hmmm: we batted 180 overs there, but thats just once in a blue moon 1) This is 220 overs, 40 more than Napier. We can get bowled out twice in those 40 alone. 2) The NZ attack of Martin, Franklin and O'brien was joke compared to this Aussie attack. We will be bowled out a few minutes after lunch tomorrow.
bulbul Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Gayz...dont worry atleast 2 double centuries will be there tommarrow :two_thumbs_up:
