Somerset eye up deal for Chawla

[G_B_]

**** first over from Chawla.....

[The Realist]

Apart from having chubby cheeks you want to pinch, Chawla has few redeeming qualities. Cannot understand why Dhoni backed him like he was his son in the 2011 WC :facepalm:

[jusarrived]

He willdo well . Good bowler and a handy bat too

[kumar713]

He willdo well . Good bowler and a handy bat too

:haha:

chawla playing for Somerset....... looks like a flat pitch

[G_B_]

and chawla failed with the bat... 3 of 3 balls. bit of a collapse from Somerset

[jusarrived]

:haha:

whats so funny ? Hes a genuine wicket taker , only that his skills havent developed as should have been in the past few years ..hes still young though . I rate him higher than the like of Mishra & Rahul sharma who have played for India recently .

[Clarke]

He's a bloody hack with the bat. Watch how he plays/gets dismissed against Eng in the 4th test.

[G_B_]

6 overs 36 for 1....... not bad figues on that pitch.

[G_B_]

Chawla finished with figures of 8 overs 43/1 which is a very good performance on that pitch. Bowled two very tight overs in the death. A good performance by him with the ball. Somerset finish top of their group and progress to the semis...

[G_B_]

Chawla batting well for Somerset. 60 runs partnership pulling his team back from a low score against some good bowling.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/23854442 listen live Somerset v Middlesex

[G_B_]

whoa what a shot for 6 the crowd really clapping him along

[G_B_]

new ball now. But Chawla has destroyed their spinners with the bat....... Lets see how it goes v the pacers.

[G_B_]

Chawla six apparently hit somebody in the lower pavilion at Lords.

[G_B_]

58 not out fantastic innings for his side Somerset. Well played Chawla indeed. Rescued his side from a big hole.

[Precambrian]

Why the eff is Chawla batting at no.9? The hacks above him at 7 and 8 average 20 and 10 respectively, against Chawla's FC avg of over 30, with 3 hundreds.

[rkt.india]

Chawla ne chaba dala. Chawla outbatting GG.

[diga]

Chawla ne chaba dala. Chawla outbatting GG.

So true... Chawla too is a a lefty & can easily play in GG's place in the current form

[G_B_]

i was listening to the commentary on the bbc while working (programming actually) First the commentators said "oh chawla has come out without a helmet, brave or stupid?" and "Spinners will run through Somerset tail" cause the spinners were getting significant trun then Chawla just destroyed their spinners. Nearly every ball he was giving them them the charge. 5 overs went for from 40 runs just before the new ball. He slowed down against the new ball which is fair enough.
