Pak team has a knack for unpleasant surprises.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
they cant, Pakistan will win the game with overs to spare 15 or more for sure

I dont know if this is the weed smoke coming from my roomies room or what but I stick to that 
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
I think too much is being made out of what kind of graveyard the Calcutta pitch would be on the 5th day.
In the Aus-Ind test match people refer too....the Australian collapse happened in the post-tea session of the 5th day...and even then the pitch was not really a grave yard.
I dont think it will be impossible for Pak batsmen to play out a day on this pitch. If they dont, it will be as much for lack of application as the state of the pitch.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
between overs, Inzi and Karthik had an argument over Karthik running on th pitch...
Sanjay says: "its good that Karthik gave in cuz there's quite a size difference" :D
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Khalil is in... chalo ho gayi chutti.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Karthik gets a warning from the umpire too now.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
.sorry to say but KHalil has been a waste of resource...
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
48 overs to go today. I think India should look to play 20 of them... score 70-80 more runs...declare with a lead of 370-380. That way, Pak will be left with 28 overs to negotiate today.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Absolute plumb..Bucknor was scared to make a decision against the indians 
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)

Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
That was a plumbbbbbbbb out Bucknor made another mistake
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Plumb out not given.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Who was it ? I mean the batsman.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
yep - was gonna hit middle and part of off stump.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
oh what a surprise!!!plumb lbw not given by Bucknor and that too against India!!!
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Don't protest....otherwise Indians would start imploring you to stop crying and creating controversies, where there are none....
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Rahul Dravid..
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Dravid.
Re: 2nd Test - Pakistan vs India - Kolkata (Merged)
Bucknor does India a lot more favors then he screws them.....Just look at the last series in Pakistan....Dravid was also plumb in front in the match where he scored 270....but Bucknor had other ideas....
I guess his strategy is to give those who always play selfish inconsequential innings a la Tendi out and those who play for the team and its victory Dravid not out....
