Pakistan V India - 1st Test Match.

India 67/0 (22.1 ov)

Sehwag on 51 :k:

However i think kartik would have been a waste..he's not a genuine spinner of the ball..i mean he does not get a lot of turn..

Ian chappel(not sure): "Shewag is more of a cutter than a Hooker "

Two consecutive 4s by Sehwag!!..off Saqlain..

And now a huge 6..!

hmm i take that back, seeing how saqlain is keeping the batsmen quiet maybe kaneria should have been included

So you still think same after this over.

. 4 4 . N. 6

India 84 / 0 after 24 overs..

Pakistan has done a big blunder..

It should have Kaneria in place of Saqi

:D

Ian Chappel picking holes in Inzi's field placings by pointing out that there are easy singles all over the place.

f&b, just coz Saqi got hit for a couple of 4s doesn't mean that it was a good decision to bowl only one spinner. There's turn there it just needs a bowler good enough to put the batsman under some pressure.

Sami drops a sitter of a catch!!! off Sehwag..

India 99 / 0 after 28 overs

When Ramiz responds to Chappel's comments on team selection, is it fair to assume that Ramiz either had some say in team selection (does he usually?), or at least has the inside information and is now inadvertently defending the approach taken by Pakistan in team selection?

I think selectors just provide a squad then it's down to the captain who plays. I assume Miandad doesn't have the final say as he is simply the 'coach'.

100 up for India

104 / 0 off 29 overs
