Absolutely. They have bottled it here. Bunch of morons.
Absolutely we are brother in hand in this with you guys lol
Lol if you put politics aside, the guy deserved atleast a full test for his last test
Generally a high scoring ground. Basically a dead pitch. Wicket taking will become harder and harder as the ball gets old.
He is now bowling.
Tha stadium is still as bad as it was then. They are still using shamianas.
Bazball effect. That's what the English have done effectively for a while. Go after the bowling with fearsome intent and then rotate the strike in a risk free manner with the field spread out. Duckett and Brook especially have a great record against good length bowling by rotating strike as a 2nd order effect of this.
Yes . Losing a test series against Bangladesh at home is very low for any teams.
And they would've forgotten that as soon as they walked off the ground.
If jaiswal perform well in Australia than no one can stop the India for winning the series. but i doubt as Cummins and Hazlewood will target him around middle of with waist height bowling where he is little bit vulnerable
For me, its an all-time low. As someone who holds test cricket as the highest level of this sport, I can't think of anything that even comes to this embarrassment. And that's saying something because Pakistan has had some embarrassing defeats over the years.
I have seen pitches in India exploding on Day 1. I don't think Ashwin and Jadeja will have a problem taking wickets on even a Day 3 pitch.
It coincides perfectly with the skipper. Shan is the worst batting captain for Pakistan in history. If you're averaging 28 and leading a team, then you're below Bangladesh level and therefore should lose.
True. I don't think there's anywhere near enough time to force a win here but I love the Indian team for trying. A runrate of 10 at this point. What else can you ask for?
They are quite new ..taking such a beating ..they started spraying lol
Doesn't matter what you have seen. It's still not a day 5 pitch which means something specific.
Do you have a point?
That guy have patience to deal with test match stuff.He showed his application in Chennai to score 50 of 160 deliveries in testing swing and seam conditions.As u said if he score in aus, he will be on his way to be the legend.Apart from sachin no inexperienced/younger players had a good first series there.Even kohli had 1 century and 7 failures in his first series(After 3 years of odi graduation)
Honestly India can beat them. If they take a lead today.
Yeah I got that in the previous response. Thanks for spelling it out. Definitely wouldn't have understood that had you not told me the same thing thrice. There has already been assistance of the spinners so I don't see how there won't be more assistance as the pitch gets older on the final day.
Repeat after me, a test match is 5 days long. It may be a Day 3 pitch but Day 5 would still be the final day.
Mehidy is getting some turn so you might be right on Ashwin and Jadeja being deadly tomorrow
Don't know if you have some kind of brain aneurysm arguing with me about semantics. But I don't think its far-fetched to assume that this Day 3 pitch will become more spin-friendly on the final day considering this is Kanpur and previous tests here have seen Indian spinners dominate throughout the test.
The pitches which explode from day 1 are minefields. You won't be able to score at 10 RPO like India are currently doing.
On the other hand, the ball that got Rohit did turn sharply so maybe there's potential.
That's an odd ball. It isn't consistently ragging at speed. Else Jadeja would've lethal here.
