Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

Relax man overall lead is 264 and will probably easily go over 300 means the match is out of SL reach

as i’m watching both matches Butt hits Flinti for a uppish cut for 4 in 1st over

India Badly Need To Stuff Up If They Don't Win. Still Don't Agree With Opening With Pathan, Had He Gone Cheaply It May Have Triggered A Collapse.

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

why would fall of Pathan’s wicket trigger a collapse? he is a tailender who is being used to trick opponents, he is transforming himself to an all rounder. if a “collapse” happens, it should be blamed on ‘regular’ batsmen.

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

I doesn't matter if Pathan makes 0 or 200 opening. Fact of the matter is that he is not even an established all rounder let alone substitute for a specialist opener. Maybe you can get away with it in ODI's but in tests its a big risk. Now if a team like Pakistan tries something like this its understandable because we don't have quality openers. But India has Sehwag, Tendulkar, Ghambir etc.

I would like to see if they persist with Pathan when they come to Pakistan. :)

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

so how much should be safe score??
Or India already has made safe score for a 4th inning chase?

Captain1 · December 13, 2005, 3:43am

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

Considering how spinner friendly this wicket is, I think even 300 looks pretty decent, but then there are 2 more days to go..... hmmmmmmmmmm1

fair_balance · December 13, 2005, 4:01am

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

but SL has lot of inexperience in batting lineup except for Attpattyu,Sangkarra & Jayawardane

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

damn..ball is keeping too low. even 200 will be difficult here now.

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

Yuvral also not hitting! he is hitter for big six etc but today…nothing six or four!

Re: India vs Srilanka 2nd Test match @ Delhi

Ghambir had got out already so had Pathan followed woudve been 2 for not many. Scoreboard pressure.
