Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
No other cricket going on so I guess I will tune into this test, atleast I will get to watch some guys holding a cricket bat and throwing a hard ball. I guess that may satisfy my need to watch cricket for tonight. :)

Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
^ that is not reall "well", but may be it is "well" as it is Zimbabwe 156/4 :)
Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
265/7 !!! wasn't this very team skittled twice in a day recently?
Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
256/7 is 'well' for them :)
Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
^ Yep it is.
Indian bowling attack really lacks the bite these days. Pathan and Zaheer look good (workman like stuff) but no bowler seems capable of running through a side.
Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
I was surprised today to see how Andy Blignaut has completely lost his batting technique . B4 zaheera had him plumb infront, he bowled a few straight deliveries and Andy was in 2 minds whether to come forward and defend or flick the ball away on the on side. His facial expressions were of a nervous tailender????? Anybody else notice.
Re: Ind V/S Zim --> Test 1
This has really exposed how toothless the Indian attack is. They can never even approach the top sides let alone be no.1 without a POTENT bowling line up. And just one bowler doesn't cut it, you need atleast 3 bowlers who can run through a side. Case in point, sides like England and Australia.
