160 lead, how much more we need?

[Chaos]

around 40 overs tonight, so how much can we expect india to add to the total? another 200 me think.

[zubinpepsi]

160 more wud b enuf

[Chaos]

160 more wud b enuf

the pitch MIGHT break for last day, so would india risk it? :regular_smile:

[Rajiv]

We have 1 full session and a bit , we will bat fir 30 mins tommorow and put them in

[kabira]

pitch is breaking, you can see top coming off since Day 2, but problem is its getting slower, so its giving batters ample time to adjust. I would say 85-90 overs we would need to bowl them out

[Cricketics]

1st ball, stumped on day 5 shall happen tomorrow... and the result too

[Chaos]

i think india should get 200 asap.

[Predator_05]

150 would be fine. Anything over 300 will be very difficult to chase for Pakistan on day 5.

[Guest Hiten.]

we should set a target of something around 350.... we'll either win or draw .. losing will be out of equation then

[Chaos]

this stupid siva commentator talks as if karthick is in terrific form... what an idiot.

[kabira]

kumble should have 90 overs in mind, more the beter..target 360...

[fineleg]

I dont want us to give Pak even 1% chance of winning this Test. Pls. suggest a total which gives 0 chance for Pak to win.

[Ram]

650 maybe ?

[Chaos]

I dont want us to give Pak even 1% chance of winning this Test. Pls. suggest a total which gives 0 chance for Pak to win.

350 on day 5 is near impossible

[fineleg]

350 on day 5 is near impossible

Thats the point "near"...How can we be sure? 380? 400? Maybe 380. Would that close the door fully? We should NOT take BAD LIGHT today if offered.

[Bumper]

India wont go for the win. We cant risk a loss while trying to attain a victory. Methinks, Kumble will declare when we get to a 350 run lead, leaving roughly 70 overs for Pakistan. Pak will finish 155/6 for a draw

[Ram]

Me thinks there is still a huge twist left in the tale. http://usa.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2000-01/AUS_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/AUS_IND_T2_11-15MAR2001.html Will History repeat itself ? The scorecards, the times, look remarkably similar. And it shouldnt escape our notice that the last 4 wickets in the Pak innings fell for just 8 runs. Once we have Pakistan on the mat, we can really attack them from all directions and anything can happen.

[Bumper]

If we want a result, we should score at 5 rpo. Declare by close of play today with a lead of 330. I doubt Kumble will risk it.

[zubinpepsi]

i dont think we r going for win here.... we dont have players who can score at 5-6 RPO... until sachin comes... so we ll snail towards 200 and then declare leaving pak the only chance of drawin the match

[Ram]

330 in 90 overs is just too much a risk. Me thinks we will give them 350 to chase in 80 overs.
