Can Pakistan enforce a "special follow-on" so we stupid fans can be spared an extra day?

dude this is a test match. There are ups and downs. Live with it.

finey is just trying to jinx the Pakistanis...hain na finey???:wink_smile:

If I say that, then the jinx wont be effective :hatsoff: But all that jinx/reverse jinx apart, I'm truly sad and disappointed. I mean, its one thing that SRT goes brain dead for a minute, but its another that you have a batting line up boasting Jaffer, Dravid, Ganguly and not one of them go on to make a Test match 100 on a SECOND DAY "relatively nice" batting pitch. Thats sad, if not anything.

I left KKD out of the above on purpose. I dont believe he has the technique to go on to get big ones consistently, and IMO - we need to take a better opener to Aus. But thats my view, and hence I left him out of the mention above.

I must admit, fineleg, you do have one redeeming feature. Your avatar.

Your condescending Highness Donny, You dont even have that one thing :hysterical:

India needs to bat 4th in Delhi. That can be very tricky. If India needs to chase 150+ or 200+ then its going to be precarious. Yesterday, Pak would have thought the game was strongly with India, but we were generous and have made it EVEN STEVENS.

[Gambit]

Here we go again.

Whether you like it or not, instead of closing out the match, we have "indeed" made it even stevens as it stands now.

The most frustrating thing with Indian team is that many a times they are in a good position, and they lose the intensity and focus (intensity being the operative thingy). Then the momentum swings, and it gets oh so painful to see. We should be kicking the opposition when they are down, and not allow them to get back in (a class opposition may still get back in with great play, but those are exceptions and should not be the norm that most times we let the opposition claw-their-way-back-in).

well we did allow them to get to 230 after being down at 142-8. But the point is India did get to 70-1 and pakistan hit back with fantastic bowling after lunch. In test cricket, half an hour of inspired cricket can often offset an entire day's cricket. Thats what happened post lunch. With the exception of Sachin, all the top order wickets were due to some very good bowling. Karthik's technical deficiency was exploited by Akthar, Wasim Jaffer too was beaten by angle and length and played on his crease. Ganguly was beaten and bowled through the smallest gap in defence and Dravid was almost squared up on playing slightly across and bowled by a beauty. All this on a pitch that was hardly doing anything to help bowlers. So we have to admit that although this Pak team is by no means classic, they played classic test cricket for an hour and it was at a crucial stage of the 1st innings and paid a lot of dividends for them

DSR, We'll see. Maybe it will come back to haunt your post. I'll remember to bump it up :P

Well this thread is already haunting you. Tommorow we will build a 150 lead which will be enough to see us win the match! I am ready for constant bumping!

WTF I bet the poster who you are protecting would not have minded that I said this. In fact I did in another post in another thread and the poster laughed about it! I was not being derogatry. OTT censorship!

My threads are poor, but Oh, all the threads you start are only "well thought out" :giggle: In anycase, why infringe on others expressing their views. If you dont like this particular point of view, you are free to move on. When (some) people see negativity about Indian team, they like to abuse the posters or their threads like how you have done, rather than move on if they dont like it. Remember, not everyone will accept mediocre cricket - be it batting, bowling or fielding

Yep, yep - lets see
