I just hope they don't collapse once again after reaching a reasonable position. This is where temperament plays a big part.

eh ok see this tiwary might not be the most talented but in ranji he was the only good batsman in bengal side i think and saha did well 2-3 times after coming back from australia even there he showed some fight and rest of batters to come not much is known abt them.. all the super stars are out.. any runs and fight form here is a bonus wont u agree?

Saha is a limited player. i will give him another 10 or 15 runs max before he gets out. Tiwary is like Rohit in some ways. Plays risky game. Often a brainfart is stones throw away. THey have platform to improve the skill of playing out 3 good sessions in a row. Hope the make the most of it.

i know saha is limited but he is tht sort of keeper player who will fight fight and then get out and if there is good batsman at another end u can easily have good partnerships.. and like rohit ... i dont know to me he is jsut confused rohit is lazy :giggle:

[Old guy]

btw raina did better then these all players playing against west indies sidei n west indies then in england i think in lords he got 70 i just hope he improves his back foot game cos mentally he is better then these boys :wall:

[Old guy]

#WIvIND: Saha 34* Tiwary 62* continue to build for India. IND 130-4 - with a lead of 24 on 2nd innings. West Indies need a wicket now

[Old guy]

if and its big if tiwary gets hundred here owuld he be ahead of rohit ?

It is unforgivable considering the state of the pitch. Windies fans claim it is a batsman's paradise. Wonder how both teams to some extent made a mess here.

No. definitely not. Rohit is better than him. But in the end it doesn't matter. End result is going to be the same. One fifty followed by 5 flops.

lol..rohit does look like better player but he struggles aganst good bowlers u know its not like he always throws it away .. yes many times does but still looks like solid player i guess u guys know better.. i always thought he is good stroke player but has very lose technique

If you are going to compare improvement of our bowlers with improvement of batsmen i have to give props to our bowlers. Yes there will be decline after zak leaves. But it won't be as bad as batting decline. Rough times ahead for Indian batsmen.

That is something he should have gotten rid of by now. They should use Alistair cook as a role model. He was little tentative when he started his career. He gradually tightened his technique.

thing is in bowling there isnt much to decline its like u were already 6/10 now u will be 5/10 in abtting it was 10/10 when these guys were still lol younger and in form u cant deny tht this was gr8 batting line up now our batting is coming at level of bowling it jsut looks much worse bowling wise any find is a positive..in batting they have to fill position of dravid,tendulkar, laxman

Full and straight and Tiwary is LBW. Cleaned up by Kevin McClean 11.2-5-28-2. Tiwary made 62 - 119 balls, 10x4 1x6. IND 130-5 Well played for his 62. Still there is some fire power left for India.
