i doubt that is likely but yeah, thats two test matches now that we ought to have won. i wont be too surprised if something similar occurs in test 3 and then suddenly in test 4 its india who is on the receiving end. eventually the series ends 1-1 or 0-0, a complete injustice to how india played (or atleast have so far in the first two tests).Noman said:I the whole india would be crying if, the series end 2-0 to wi
kaif is not a good fielder? what is it that you are smoking my man?Amjid Javed said:a dolly! (easy)
what india would have done for akash chopra or some other good fielder under the lid. kaifs very poor in that postion!

4-5 chances? this test? well i just started watching it, so do tell me. but yeah akash chopra is what one might call a specialist for that position. alas he is not in the playing 11, and wont be either if jaffer can carry on the good work and with gambhir at his heels.Amjid Javed said:Did you read and understand what i said?
i said hes a crap bat-pad fielder. he rarely stays down and has missed 4/5 chances. Just coz hes a good fielder in covers, gulley etc.. doesnt make him good bat-pad fielder.
pitches outside the line of offstump, coming round the wicket, for a leg spinner is an automatic qualification for not out. especially if he was playing on his front foot.zaf1986 said:Yes, pitched outside off

akram_rejuvinated said:just a suggestion... should test matches now be played such that the time lost due to weather or other concerns such as light be compensated with one optional extra session? note that under this new provision, the extra session would only be available if considerable time has been lost to the weather or due to bad light (and not taken simply because the extra time would force a result).
Hash said:I agree. There should be a 'reserve day' in tests as well. Any time lost in the first five days due to rain or bad light can be made up on the reserve day. If no time is lost due to rain or bad light then the reserve day should not be used.
Amjid Javed said:Bad idea!

This rule only applies when it benefits Pakistan or those playing against England and India
113.4 Patel to Ramdin, no run, beaten outside the off stump! Just a coat of varnish. It was a fullish delivery, just outside the off stump and held its line a bit, Ramdin has a drive, ends up playing inside the line. Almost the ball that got Sarwan out.
Tension mounting here!
113.3 Patel to Ramdin, no run, appeal for caught behind! turned down. it was full and drifting down the leg, tries to flick it away, doesn't connect, brushes the pad enroute to Dhoni!
heck i dont even want a reserve day... just a session of 35 odd overs since a pitch often deteriorates to such extent that a whole additional day might be asking for a hurculean task from the team batting on this day. and for those saying that this is against the spirit of the game, do tell me how (especially considering that when test matches were first played, they were timeless matches).Hash said:I agree.

i doubt we will but as i said earlier, though these draws clearly indicated towards india being a superior team, it will be west indies who will gain in confidence, and india who will return to the pavilion with lurching shoulders.Hash said:) )
Would be hilarious if India lost this series now!
