praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Alright then! the Kotla test has been sealed comprehensively by India. Now, what can happen in the Kolkata test? May be this thread can go for some predictions. I'll put down mine for a start: 1) This ground has not been a good hunting place for the master. May be he is in for a big one here. 8 555 176 42.69 1 4 4 3/31 25.75 0 3 0 This is his stats on Kolkata ground. He averages only 42.69 here. 2) Dada too doesn't have a good reputation on his home ground. He may want to repair it with his new 'All Rounder' avatar. 7 292 65 24.33 0 1 5 3/28 25.60 0 4 0 3) Dravid has a good chance to cement his place here. His stats on this ground shows for it. 7 785 180 65.41 3 2 - - - - 6 0 4) Laxman, we all know what he did on this ground. 5) Pitch might be good for both batsmen and bowlers. Scores of 350+ are likely to happen. I would let others to fill in as well... Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yes, 1 prediction. India will win. That is all. Link to comment
Dravid Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 now that dada is on.. hopefully these idiots cheer for US Link to comment
Anakin Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yes, 1 prediction. India will win. That is all.:two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
maggot_brain Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Kolkata should be a win for India. I just don't think Pakistan has the bowling attack right now with Asif and Gul out. If these two had been playing I think the series would be more closely contested. Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 They say there can always be a turn around in the second test of a 3-match series, particularly when India wins the first one comprehensively. Hope this time around, our guys will overcome that complacency. Link to comment
Chandan Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 3) Dravid has a good chance to cement his place here. His stats on this ground shows for it. 7 785 180 65.41 3 2 - - - - 6 0 ??? Dravid HAS to cement his place? Whose place is cemented then, in the team? Anyway, some news filtering are: 1. Team management is keen to play Yuvraj in XI and they are looking how a vacancy can be created for him. 2. Dhoni is troubled by the ankle injury and apparantly he wants a break from Kolkata test to recover fully for the trip to Australia! Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 well, that sums it up then... Karthik may keep wickets and Yuvi might take the place of Dhoni... And sorry for my previous statement... It must have been 'Dravid has a chance of getting a big one here'. He owes himself one... Link to comment
Ram Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You will all see the little master do this, Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am getting bored... I have seen him do that quite many times now... :P Link to comment
Chandan Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am getting bored... I have seen him do that quite many times now... :P I'll NEVER get bored of that, even if Sachin keeps on doing it for next 50 years!! Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'll NEVER get bored of that' date=' even if Sachin keeps on doing it for next 50 years!![/quote'] Of course, no one would... I was just getting sleepy while posting it... :) Dravid once said - There's god on off-side and there's ganguly. It certainly is true. He was mentioning about Sachin being the god. Link to comment

praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 bored?:confused_smile::finger: You may want to look at my own replies after that... Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am getting bored... I have seen him do that quite many times now... :P Alright, lemme rephrase that... I had seen it before and I will watch it again and again... Link to comment
fineleg Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 now that dada is on.. hopefully these idiots cheer for US Hopefully yes, otherwise they will surely boo (even if dada really gets injured on match day!!!) Anyways, Prediction: 50-50 chances always in India Pak. India have been known to let lead slide away, so they will be under some pressure. Pak also feel pressure since they lost odis and test-1. We'll see - Shoaib Actor and Tanvir vs Indian batsmen - this is the key since Eden Gardens will assist pacers. Link to comment
prem23 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 TEAM INDIA WIL THRASH PAK :yay:!!!! GAME WIL BE OVER in 3rd or 4th day !!!! LEAD SERIES by 2 - 0:D Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I predict there's a double hundred in making for Dravid... and probably another mysterious centurion in our side... :P Link to comment
praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 with gul into the side, i guess there can be more predictions on... now, get on with it guys... pour in your thoughts... Link to comment
