Re: 1st test…Pak Vs India at Mohali
funguy,
I did not watch the game yesterday, but seems like our bowling was infact quite impotent to be hit for 180 odd runs in 40 overs and just getting one wicket. Infact, it was Danesh who got the lone wicket yesterday. So, I think my initial prediction of a weak bowling attack was probably not off the mark. Unless we are saying the three Indian batsmen (esp. Sehwag) were brutally correct in their approach to have hit so much to a good bowling attack.
Anyway, there is a lot left in this game, yes. But the indications are not good. Even with rain factored in the equation, Pakistan is in dire straits, unless they can pull a huge performance on the third day.
My bigger worry is, that I have not seen anything from this Pakistan side yet, that tells me we can avoid a 0-3 result in tests. If our batting starts clicking in a major way, or there are consistent rain delays, we may be able to draw a match. Unfortunately, I don’t see a lot of draws in present day test cricket. We’ll see.
