India beat West Indies by 237 runs in the 3rd Test

[JaDed]

Lol turning out to be like a ODI,overthrow

 

[Sandeep]

The guy who was brought in for his strike rate is tuk tuking!

Rahul, the guy who is 1000 times more solid was scoring faster than the hack

Isn't that how it is supposed to be? The solid guy will score runs anywhere. The hack can't!

 

[JaDed]

Kohli slowing down..

 

[Sandeep]

Cummins is making a mockery of Dhawan's technique.. loving it )

 

[Sandeep]

Lovely bowling.. will this make Kohli realize he's not a number 3?

 

[JaDed]

Kohli

 

[JaDed]

Umpire's call

 

[Sandeep]

Wasn't there an inside edge?

 

[geraltofrivia]

Keep on going or consolidate?

 

[Sandeep]

Former....... India needs to realize we just need 100 more runs.. wickets don't matter, scoring rate does!

 

[geraltofrivia]

pitch is good for bowling though. should keep seamers interested.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Former....... India needs to realize we just need 100 more runs.. wickets don't matter, scoring rate does!

yeah. already 190 lead.

 

[Syed1]

India need to be careful here, they have Ashwin coming in at four down

 

[Sandeep]

4 centuries are reasonable for 4 down?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Half of the batsman are LOI specialists like kohli, dhawan and rohit. Kohli has a long way to go before he can start to match sachin in test cricket. Rahane is the only quality batsman in indian batting lineup alongwith vijay. You can score 2000 runs in a lallu panju league but this is what counts the most.

 

[Sandeep]

India need to be careful here, they have Ashwin coming in at four down

By the way, the horror is 3 down. 4 down is just fine.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Relax. We are 191/2 effectively.

 

[geraltofrivia]

By the way, the horror is 3 down. 4 down is just fine.

I have a feeling that Rohit will do well and then captain Kohli will be a genius. lol.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Getting bowled out for 150-175 could be good for india. There will be no confusion about the target and 300 against west indies will be good enough.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Clear signs to accelerate.

 

[Sandeep]

Hope this is the end of road for one liability..

 

[geraltofrivia]

Oh well. For the better. Vijay-Rahul next match.

 

[Sandeep]

Such poor technique from Dhawan.. at least Rohit looks elegant, Dhawan doesn't have even that!

 

[geraltofrivia]

Next match can be our best lineup

VJ
Rahul
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
Ashwin
Saha
Bhuvi
Jaddu
Shami
Ishant

 

[Syed1]

Off-spin is Dhawan's kryptonite

Rahul
Pujara

Rahane
Ashwin

Ideally.. but Kohli seems to be in his own lala-land..

 

[Sandeep]

200-3 with 119 (98+21) overs left in the game. I can sense a result.. Pitch is helpful for bowlers..

 

[geraltofrivia]

Ideally.. but Kohli seems to be in his own lala-land..

After Dhawan's failures VJ should be in.
And Jadeja/Bhuvi also after their performances should be.

Hope Kohli understands the value of Pujara at 3 after his complete flopshow this match.

 

[leatherface58]

Off-spin is Dhawan's kryptonite

A ball that swings, seams or spins is Dhawan's kryptonite.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

You have to be incredibly ungrateful as an Indian if you hate Kohli.

That guy has been directly or indirectly responsible for anything and everything that India has won in recent years.

Praise or criticism must be based on fair points.

Not based on likes or dislikes.

Kohli made lots of selection errors this game and it deserves to be criticized.

Mistakes that would have left us at 1-1 if not for some bailing him out.

 

[geraltofrivia]

200-3 with 119 (98+21) overs left in the game. I can sense a result.. Pitch is helpful for bowlers..

Apart from 1 innings we have got them for 200 odd each time. Even that innings we had them at 60/4 and then the pitch flattened out although I believe we would have won with Jaddu/Bhuvi. They are tight. Yadav/Mishra bowling trash let them come close.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

When you select a substandard batting lineup, its always shaky.

If Rohit gets out now, we are in a world of trouble.....

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Need to somehow stitch a 50-70 run partnership here.

 

[Sandeep]

Agreed.. bad bowling cost us a great win last match..

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Holder you clown, get Alzarri back on, this is the time to strike. What the hell you doing bowling with a part timer?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Just need 150 more runs.

Cmon....slowly get to it.

 

[troodon]

Our best batsman Ashwin is still there.

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane is very scratchy against spin! He was plumb the other ball!

 

[Markhor]

Holder you clown, get Alzarri back on, this is the time to strike. What the hell you doing bowling with a part timer?

He's just not an instinctive captain.

 

[Sandeep]

If Rohit scores a brisk 20 here, Kohli would pick him next match stating how useful he was with strike rate...

 

[The_Odd_One]

Rohit batting like a champion, easily the most pleasing batsman to watch in team India.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If Rohit scores a brisk 20 here Kohli would pick him next match stating how useful he was with strike rate...

When you turned against Rohit bhai?

Seen you more angry at him than others?

 

[geraltofrivia]

Rahane is very scratchy against spin! He was plumb the other ball!

Pujara is our best player of spin.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rohit batting like a champion, easily the most pleasing batsman to watch in team India.

Yeah talent.

Next time a commie says talent...I am gonna punch my screen.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Hope his own flopshow at 3 makes him realize how important Pujara is.

 

[Sandeep]

He is strictly an ODI player. Doesn't have temperament for tests. He is blocking the career of a potential Indian test great - Pujara. That's why I'm pis**d.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Don't mean to sound overconfident and all but match is beyond the West Indies now. Cloud cover + 5th day pitch + Jaddu/Bhuvi/Shami/Ashwin.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is the pitch hard or we batted badly?

Didn't watch our batting till now. Just now tuning in.

Pujara at this rate isn't gonna be in the great path anytime soon.

Still needed by our team.

 

[Sandeep]

Only if common sense prevails.. this batting line up is a suicide against any other half decent side.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Didn't watch our batting till now. Just now tuning in.

Pitch is tough. Ashwin/Jadeja were also turning some a lot. Plus there is constant assistance for fast bowlers.

 

[Sandeep]

Needs the confidence of the captain and team management. They need to ask him to do whatever works for him.. asking him to bat at a higher strike rate is only going to destabilize him further.. He will come good. Just need some more patience..

 

[Itachi]

Run rate is too slow.

I don't care if we lose the match, but tests should yield results either way.

 

[Sandeep]

Is Rohit playing for his place?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What do you guys think about Roston Chase?

Good flight...nice rhythm....lands in good areas...

Not sure if he imparts a lot of spin or has lots of subtle variations...

But I like him.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is Rohit playing for his place?

Bro you getting harsher than even rohit haters would.

He is playing fine.

Need solid batting. As long as he puts away bad balls, no need for him mess up trying to play good balls.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I hope so.

 

[Sandeep]

Lame batting.. for all the T20 superstardom these guys have, Misbah can outhit them in a test match..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rahane...you are not fooling anybody by this coming down the track aggression against spin.

lol

Play properly yaar.

 

[Sandeep]

Sharma ji barely survives.. no rhythm in his batting.. clearly not suitable for tests

 

[The_Odd_One]

Yeah talent.

Next time a commie says talent...I am gonna punch my screen.

Told you he is very good. There is a reason he is backed by all captains (Dhoni and Kohli)

 

[geraltofrivia]

Tontee tontee?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pitch is tough. Ashwin/Jadeja were also turning some a lot. Plus there is constant assistance for fast bowlers.

I see...

So same conditions when we bowled.

Feel both batting sides are making a mess out of a challenging but not impossible conditions. Marlon and Blackwood still scored from 100-200 inspite of good bowling.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Healthy lead now. Should win it tomorrow.

 

[Justcrazy]

235 runs lead.

 

[javiersuka]

What target do you guys think is Kohli looking forward to set? Rangewise min too max.

 

[Justcrazy]

India need to set a target of at least 325 here

 

[Sandeep]

The person who prepared this outfield should be given an award. The ball never goes!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What target do you guys think is Kohli looking forward to set? Rangewise min too max.

300-380

 

[Justcrazy]

325 - 350

 

[javiersuka]

300-380

Would Kohli like to declare today itself and have a crack at Windies Batters for 4 overs?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Told you he is very good. There is a reason he is backed by all captains (Dhoni and Kohli)

Trolling mat karo ab bhai.

This is tests.

Rohit averages low 20s after the WI series in 2013.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Would Kohli like to declare today itself and have a crack at Windies Batters for 4 overs?

lol what

 

[geraltofrivia]

Would Kohli like to declare today itself and have a crack at Windies Batters for 4 overs?

No. Will bat tomorrow.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rahane trying hard (and failing miserably) to be Sehwag.

Looks like definite team instructions.

Rahane never plays like this.

 

[Sandeep]

T20 should've been started by now.. but all I see is Rahane tuk-tuking.. are these guys serious about the win?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If you bat properly, runs will come on this pitch.

 

[javiersuka]

India need to set a target of at least 325 here

300-380

lol what

Just to have a crack at opposition before the close of play.

I guess India would just bat whole day today and declare overnight.

98 overs crack at Windies tomorrow.

 

[Markhor]

Surprised Joseph and Gabriel have only had 5 overs between them.

 

[Sandeep]

Bangladesh is 9th and Zimbabwe is 10th? Zimbabwe should just give up test cricket and leave.
