Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
they have to break the partnership now...they are not good at that but need to get rid of these two otherwise the toil (so far) will go in vein.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
our boys are slacking now giving runs away...comon 2 more wickets
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
come on sami!!!! bring back tanvir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
comon guys break the partnership before the closure
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
gone another one good effort...well done..atleast the partnership has been broken
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
Sami once again proved he is a useless bowler. Akmal once again proved how stupid our captain is who keeps picking him for the playing X1. The guy has been below par in this match as well...when will they get it?? Im sick and tired of seeing this loser playing for pak for so long even after he struggles so much while we have the talented Sarfraz sitting and watching dandoo struggle.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
Laxman can bat with the tail so it really doesn't look good. We had the dagger in at 5/112 but just couldn't twist it.
Early wickets and a solid few partnerships at the top of the order is what's desperately needed tomorrow.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
India 228/6 - Stumps Day 2
India trail by 3 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
As long as Pakistan restrict the lead to around 75-80 runs, this game could still go either way. They squandered a good opportunity at 5/112 but a good partnership was always going to come from somewhere. Hope we don't see too many of those. Kumble is no mug with the bat either and unless Pakistan are focussed tomorrow morning India could still gain a big first innings lead of around 120-150 and that is my big worry. Remember India will be batting last which is never easy, a target of even 220-250 will test their batsmen for sure.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
Great recovery by Pakistan. It was always going to be difficult to undo what our batsmen did.

Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
I think Sami and Shoaib should have shared the new ball. As it proved that Tanvir was way too wayward and a fiery fast bowling from both ends would have got India more trouble. As the day progressed the conditions got better and better for batting. the same happened on 1st day, it was difficult to bat in the first session, 2nd session was lil easy and 3rd session was even better.
lets see the proceedings of the 3rd day 1st session.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
Yeah right.. if you had any cricketing knowledge, you'd know the difference between bowling and chucking..
Yeah I think you are right. I guess that applies on your cricketing knowledge, if you knew that he was been reported and cleared then you won't talk nonsense. Why on earth he is playing International Cricket if he was a chucker? You may say they gave bribery to ICC oh please let him play and they allowed him.
If you have something personally against Shoaib then its like having a debate with a wall. I think I have played and watched more cricket then your age possibly so don't make an assumption about other people's cricketing knowledge. Chaper close!!!!

Shoaib chucks, so does Murli. However, it is considered okay for them to do so, because of a birth fault in the elbow.
They both chuck, yes very much, but its not their fault as such. :)

Agreed whole heartedley . They chuck .The thing is that they got the approval for that from the ICC . I would like to find a way to test on the match conditions . Not in the lab . Especially bowlers tend to chuck when they are tired or nothing else working for them or some other pressure . Some how there must be an end to this farce .The reason why harbhajan is not throwing(erm ....bowling) doosra is because he very well know that it is not a legal delivery .

U have a point there .He was cleared by the ICC ,however his action looks extremely dodgy to the naked eye . I have a suggestion that bowlers like Akhtar and Bhajji should wear half sleeves to show their elbows(they never wear those ) atleast to avoid this constant confusion . If u are not doing any wrong thing ,u need not worry abt others .Moreover these replays shows the exact bend and all . If it is a half sleeve it is more easy to spot whether they are actually throwing or just an illusion.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
Harbajan chucks too but since all of these players (Akhtar, Murli,)are cleared by the ICC, they should be fine with everyone. If you still have problem with someone that's your choice.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26

Agreed, after our batsmen lost their will to play the game was tilted in India's favor until our bowlers recovered it to great extent from India's possession (112/5) however India fought back well to restore to 228/6, now Lax, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Kumble can all bat very well too, compared to our Kaneria, Tanvir and Shoaib Akhtar. Tanvir so far has only showed "potential" in batting but hasn't played a decent inning.
Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan @ Delhi - Nov 22-26
He will never learn :smack: Whats next? Is he gonna talk about another never-to-be-seen-mystery ball?

Exactly my point.. and when you have someone chucking at 150kmph, it is more dangerous than someone who is throwing them up in the air at 80kmph.
Shoaib doesn't have anything to lose at this point in his career.. if he can get away with it, he'll do it. And ICC being the organization it is, you can expect nothing from them. And the Umpires are spineless.
