Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
aap konsa match dekh rahay hayn? 
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
May be Lara didn’t know they could enforce follow on like Inzi didn’t know against NZ that he could ask for another 30 minutes of play (when rain was expected next day) 
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Sehwag going for a win? India's RR has gone from 3.3 to 4.24 in last few overs!
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
I would love to see India winning the match after the Shandar Stunt, Lara exhibited yesterday.
India needing 298 in 65 overs with all 10 wkts in hand.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
India needing 298 in 65 overs with all 10 wkts in hand.
yep, that would serve Lara the kick in behind he really deserves for that!
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
We figured, if Lara is invulnerable enough to receive it from the almighty ICC, then India may just be the answer!
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
At lunch on the final day, India 109-0 in 26 overs, needing 283 runs in 62 overs.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Sehwag falls but India can still win. Need 279 from 59 overs.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Sehwag out immediately after lunch on the first ball.
India 115-1 needing 277 in 58 overs.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Where is Dhoni? Where is Dravid? Why are they hiding behind closed doors? Why in the world would you send in Laxman of all people when the map is already sketched out for a road to victory?
Maybe it's not. Maybe I am dreaming.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
^ maybe they should sent Mahendra Singh Dhobi instead of WXYZ Laxman :D
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
I hope India wins. That will be a fitting reply to Lara's stupidity.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Usually I would see Cheetah Jee emerging from his burrow after the completion of his three weeks of hibernation period (back today, thank God) and teasing me by switching the letter ‘n’ with the letter ‘b’ all the time…
…But I see this trend has been catching up.
Choronga nahin. Nahin choronga main.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
^ gussa na howo jee... hath hola rakhien.... mein twaadey naal mazaak kar riya thaa :D Do you look like Mahendra Singh Dhobi at all?
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
India just lost Jaffer as well
143-2 in 38 overs
249 needed in 49 overs
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Maybe it's not. Maybe I am dreaming.
392 in 80 overs on last day. This is not map of victory. Laxman just made a century and Team is capitalizing on good nick. He will definitly be faster than Dravid and also can consolidate. After this consolidation you may see Dhoni. You dont want to push it too hard and get into trouble. Odd balls are keeping low. Runrate is still less than 5. India can accelerate after Tea provided they are 250/3 at tea. :D
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
India need hard-hitters like Shahid Afridi and consistent openers like Salman butt to achieve targets which are near-impossible yet possible like this one.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
Wouldn't you rather go for the kill first and send in either Dhoni or Dravid at #3?
Laxman can always chime in when the chips are down in the middle stages and, together with lower order (Harbhajan + Kumble), draw out this disaster of an encounter on this Qabristan pitch.
I would rather fancy my chances with Dhoni at the top order in this crucial situation, and even if he would have failed then, the rest can always bat out the entire overs, if pushed into a corner.
Re: Third Test: WI v India at Basseterre
I think they've decided to go for a draw now, I feel like deja vu ....... in one of previous Tests matches Sehwag wanted to go for win but fell quickly after and rest of the batsmen went into the defensive shell for a draw.
