Yeah only ONE true EXPRESS bowler of which only 2 exist on the planet.

Of course IF we go by Indian standards then all our bowlers are express. :D

Akhtar, Sami, Rana, Arafat Ayub and Irshad.


compare these bowlers speeds with sreesanth...munaf...and rp?

we have one EXPRESS Shoaib but we act like we're so much faster

Ayub, Arafat and Irshad have all clocked 90mph.

Ayub was consistently bowling at 140kph and he is only 18 yrs old.

Irshad is the quickest for usre.

So Junglees at it again :)) . They are OFFICIALLY pathetic and they have shown that again and again especially Bengali and Mumbai crowd.

After India's last tour to Pakistan (2004) when Pakistan gave royal treatment to each indian (not just the team), i remember the LOSERS chanting Pakistan Murdabad etc when Aleem Dar gave a decisoin against Indians (which was actually a CORRECT decision).

That pretty much confirms Indian EXTREMIST mentality when it comes to Pakistan.
 
miggy u r back , welcome, whilst u were away , my post count increased by 200 , how about that. how about that.
 
Shah hits THREE boundaries in one Patha over :D
Pathan has been taken OUT of attack :)

28.1 Pathan to Shah, no run
28.2 Pathan to Shah, no run, pitched outside leg, turned to Wsim Jaffer
at squareleg
28.3 Pathan to Shah, FOUR, overpitched, driven past the bowler and the
ball screams to the fence
28.4 Pathan to Shah, no run, on a length and shaping in slightly, goes
for a ambitious pull, misses.
28.5 Pathan to Shah, FOUR, overpitched on the leg, uses his wrists and
flicks it away past square leg
28.6 Pathan to Shah, FOUR, A! Full again, leans forward and drives
elegantly. Shah has raced to 20


He is certainly NOT nervous :

hes been my favourite batter lately.....i would put him up there with KP in terms of stroke play..ever since he took advice frm azharudin.hes far more aggressive........i would have owais shah at no 3 over IAn bell anytime in the england team...!

balls swining miles....


3-0 england

This Indian bowling continues to disappoint me. I watched first 3 overs in the morning before I had to leave for work. Boy, the way ball was swinging reminded me of Karachi. There was also a tinge of green on the pitch and both Karachi and Mumbai are port cities which means atmosphere would have been heavy, thus aiding both seam and swing movement. And when I come back, what do I see? 90-1. Pathetic.

Wonder what would have happened if we were batting first. Hoggard would have had a field day!!

These hate-filled morons damage their own lifestyle and narrow psyche doing that. Here the only thing they have succeeded in doing is to fire up Owais who is taking their bowlers to task and taking it out on their hapless trundlers rather! ;-)
 
144/1 Great start by Strauss and Owais. Hopefully we don't collapse again.
 
Great 50 to Shah. Has come into the side well and has done a great job. Hope he can convert it into a 100.
 
so guys shah didnt dispoint now or did he?

158 for 1 tea!!!

PS : moral of the story cav,s always right :16:

Man, don't make such heavy statements :) Indian crowd is a bunch of immature people who don't spare their own players as well. I recently watched a Ind-SA match in India and there were a bunch of college kids in front of me who made Sehwag's life hell, who was fielding at the boundary. They were hurling all kinds of abuses at him and when I asked them to keep quiet, they said they were "doing it just for fun".

They shout slogans against not only against Pakistan but also other countries. Of course, Pakistan gives them a little bit more kick ;-) But again, its not so much hatred than immaturity. The same slogan shouting bunch will probably seek Owais Shah's autograph as well later.
 
hey aggarwald, how you doing you alright?i agree indian bowling has been up n down....but give where credit is due...
ooooooo saying that owais shah has retired hurt :O:O
 
damn damnnnnnnn:|

must be the cramp.....but atleast hes not out...what a disapointment:|

anyways kevin pie comes out......
 
srinath : stossssssss patient inning, in mohali test match fishing (:)):)))..), out off pathans bowling...you can add this one to your thread CC ;-)

Cricinfo has already found a scapegoat for England's magnificent batting display - "Dravid's decision to bowl". Sure, when the ball was swinging and seaming like crazy in the morning (and our bowlers were spraying all over), you would have loved to see Indian batting collapse against Hoggard et al. Then ofcourse, you would have another excuse - "Dravid's decision to bat". Learn to give credit (and brickbats) where its due. Good batting England. Terrible bowling, India (and Bhajji, he needs to be dropped from tests).
 
loud appeal against kp , given not out...


srinat again : there was some noise, but cant make out from here (:)):)))....

We Indians can never give credit where its due. We are narcissitic bunch of over-arrogant people who believe that Bhajji is the best bowler in the world and if we lose some match, then some extraneous factors like "toss" is the culprit.
 
catch no ....dropped by dravid he backed up i feels didnt sight it properly
4 runs non the less to strauss moves onto 96 !

whats the score , england should look at? 400 from here? what do you reckon?
 
England need a big 1st inns total as i blv this red clay surface will crumble very quickly in this heat over a few days.
 
cavin420 said:

400 in minimum. england have collapsed from this situation before.

i really think 500 is sumat england need to win the match.
 
aggarwald, while we are at bhajji, is that the best off-spinner you guys have got? seriously that left handed bowler forgot his names , plays one dayers and against austrailia here in mumbai in 2004 took some usefull wickets....where is he?
 
An Axcellent innings from Andrew Strauss. When we needed him most to tie the series he performs. We need him to stay in now and get us to 400 min to have a chance of winning the test.

yeah or perhaps need to bat atleast 2 full days either one of em......

ok srinath says something very valid...... HE SAYS THE YOUNG BOWLERS NEED TO PICK UP WICKETS FOR INDIA CANT BE ANIL KUMBLE EVERYTIME......................(SO INDIA PREETY MUCH IS A 1 MAN BOWLING ATTACK!......just what we were talking about the other day..confirmed by an ex-indian cricketer himself.....!!!

I think Indians suffer more from this disease. With the kind of money India has for cricket, one would think we will have the best team in the world. But vested interests are using that money to create unnecessary hype about some very average Indian players rather than improve upon their weakness.

His name is Murli. Used to be a good bowler in early 2000s but never got picked. And when he got picked, he became more interested in changing his hairstyle every other day. After taking 8 wickets in the Mumbai test match against Aus last year, he said "Anybody could have taken wickets on this pitch. I'd rather have a normal pitch and then take wickets". Its another story that he never took wickets on normal pitches :)

In short, he's pathetic these days.
 
Patel roughens up KP with 2 good short balls and a yorker. Kp survives. very good over.

yeah murali karthik got him now!! one with a dodgy hair style......

he loooked decent...i think reason why he said anyone could have taken wickets on that pitch was because michal clarke took 6 wickets in an innings :)):)))

anyways i think he will be better then bhajji......
 
aggarwald, i was abroad during that india , aus series, and i had the privilage of watching some ads sorry i mean cricket on DD sports chanel..........man people here in the uk think ARY plays too many ADS between overs..wait till they watch a match on dd sports......it was absolutely crazy!!!!! they must be making millions every 10 minutes.........


189 for 1
 
189/1 Great day work so far. Hopefully we can be only 1 or 2 down before the close.

BCCI just sold rights for 650 million dollars, which is about 3000 crore rupees. To these guys, money is more important, who cares if Indian cricket continues to be mediocre.
 
What a turnaround it has been from Munaf Patel. Started off post
tea very poorly, lacking in direction, pace and length, but
suddenly exploded with a series off well-directed bouncers and to
Strauss, he has gone round the wickets and troubled him.

yes, you are spot on thats why they dont play more test matches and prefer playing more one dayers so they can get more revenus and advertisment time...
i remember the test series in pakistan, india didnt purchase the rights from ARy, since ARY wasnt allowing them to play their own advertisment on the coverage...talk about their being a limit to greeed............what a monopoly..now they want to play the likes of england more to squeeze more money ;-)


199 for 1 ...4444 to strausss
 
Strauss whips pathan for 4 down legside as he comes into the attack.
 
Amjid Javed said:
very poor keeping by dhoni there.

eng 195/1
yeah, and cant belive there was a thread on dhoni,s wicket keeping abilities being better then kami.....

200 up..make that 201...for 1! not bad!! well done!
 
Pathan being taken apart here going at 5.3 runs per over:91::)) :91::)) :91:
Pathan proving to be ineffective here. England having no problems
in handling him
 
same combo again kumble and dhoni...
perhaps getting the original colour of his hair back(which was black by the way) wasnt such a good idea..the blonde look was more lucky;)

212 for 1

strauss very very lucky to still be there after 2 eacy drops!
 
pathan has looked very poor today. Hes shown no control at all.

I just wonder how he gets his wickets. All the wickets he got must be pure luck and stupid bating. BTW what happened to Shah Jee?

Great stuff from Strauss. He should beat his highest score against South Africa.
 
bhajji being taken to the cleaners here........he should retire from all forms of the game seriously....!
