2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Its very difficult for lefties to bat on this pitch at this time. Too much pitch damage due to bowlers follow-through. And Kumble is a master of taking advantage of pitch break-ups. Not sure if Kaneria can do the same magic when Ganguly & co come on to bat.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Misbah should actually try to farm the innings instead of taking every single offered to him. He should learn to protect the tail. Learn it from the other ul-Haq whose mantle he's got.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Misbah accidentally grounded his bat.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Kaneria can't do ****. He's the Sami of spin-bowling. Unfortunately for us he's been blocking the slot of spinner in our team for too long now. I hope we start trying Abdul Rehman or other spinners in the next few tours.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Kaneria can put them all under his wrath by producing his special secret delivery. It is a matter of where and when. The secret delivery is available on his finger-tips. I think it will be very soon before he opens the cage door and unleashes it.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Can matsiKaneria last 3 balls?

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

he lasted 2 lets see the third one

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

misbah should start hitting!

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

The crumbling dust bowls stop helping the spin bowlers the moment Danish takes the ball in his hand!

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

well played kaneria....i hope misbah protects him now..he should start hitting nowww

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

He does! Its a miracle!

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

That's how he got out before he should have in the last test match. Misbah should try to keep the strike, hitting when possible. Scoring is not our only objective, it's all to USE UP time so Indians have fewer overs to bat and build a target in.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Misbah should bat and use up time, because the MORE time we use up today, the less we'll have to tomorrow.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

4 byes hahaha thainga in your face negative line kumble!

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Misbah out of partners again :(

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Pakistan 456 all out.

Misbah 161 not out

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Kaneria is a waste of a slot. Afridi, Malik and Abdul Rehman together can do a better job than him and provide some batting depth too.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

our tail all out for 0...damn

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

I agree, Afridi can put almost as much RPM on a ball, definitely more runs on the scorecard and a 100000x better fielder than Kaneria.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Pakistan trail by 160 runs.
