[Aman]

India unchanged?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Idiotic decision. Ideally should have given Pandey a go especially in a dead rubber.

 

[Sandeep]

Sunny Gavaskar was visibly muffed with the selection. They should have given chances to Pujara and Pandey really!

 

[Aman]

I agree, it's a freaking dead rubber

 

[Aman]

Don't get offended but Kohli has been much worse than Dhoni..

 

[Sandeep]

Don't get offended but Kohli has been much worse than Dhoni..

I don't care who the Captain is.. Do some justice to players at least when they are in the squad! The only thing I'm asking..

 

[Aman]

What is up with India and chasing? They're becoming one dimensional, you need to be able to set and defend scores as well..

 

[Aman]

worried about Pujara jumping ahead of him in the captaincy ranks?

 

[cricket geek]

why is pujara not selected for todays match

 

[s28]

Gavaskar put it out there "are they scared"

 

[Aman]

India being too 'afraid' to play Pujara is only going to help the other teams

 

[Fire Bird]

I dont know what it would take for Pujara to get picked in the playing XI. He will be vital to our chances in Aus next year.

 

[London_Lahori]

India need to learn how to defend totals, they can't keep attempting to chase.

Even their chasing record hasn't been good recently

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara again misses out

 

[Aman]

India need to learn how to defend totals, they can't keep attempting to chase.

Even their chasing record hasn't been good recently

They're shooting themselves in the foot

 

[London_Lahori]

Pujara is a potential captain, politics at work?

 

[cricket geek]

how much will afghanis going to score against our bowling attack.

 

[Justcrazy]

single , Afghan off the mark

 

[London_Lahori]

They're shooting themselves in the foot

I'm sure they've lost 6 out of their last 7 games when chasing loll

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghans should realistically look to bat out 50 overs here.

 

[London_Lahori]

Afghanistan need to get 250 to make this competitive

 

[Justcrazy]

Why Pandey not played even in Dead game ? How will you understand what the bench strength is like ?

 

[cricket geek]

can indian bowlers take 1 or 2 wickets in first ten overs

 

[Justcrazy]

would be licking his fingers chasing again

 

[Justcrazy]

can indian bowlers take 1 or 2 wickets in first ten overs

yes , they can

 

[Justcrazy]

2 from 1st over

 

[Justcrazy]

Is Cricinfo scores live ?

 

[Justcrazy]

5 wides !!!

 

[cricket geek]

yes , they can

but i dont have cofidence in them

 

[Justcrazy]

11 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

16 / 0 after 2

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Good start to the over

 

[Electron]

A lot of swing. But no wicket as usual.

 

[Justcrazy]

20 / 0 after 3 overs

 

[Electron]

Given the pitches, Shami has been exceptional this series.

 

[Smbhayi]

OMG.. unchanged XI.. why they not try pandey..? too bad, he's in my fantasy XI..

 

[Justcrazy]

25 / 0

 

[style_guru]

Good chance missed by to rest himself and test the bench. But may be he is too rattled & thinks that even Afghans may put this team to the sword, and it'll be another blot on 's short captaincy career to lose to SL, Pak & Afghan's in the span of a few days

I am rooting for the Afghans. I wish they win and it brings a much needed smile on their faces, and also this loss would bring some swearing Indian rockstars back to earth, which would be good for them eventually.

 

[Sandeep]

Nice bowling! )

 

[Justcrazy]

29 / 0 after 4

 

[Electron]

Crazyyyyy swing and bounce for Bhuvi

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra would trouble the Afghans.

 

[Smbhayi]

why on the earth you picks like Pujara, pandey if you not try them even on a dead match... too pathetic from Mr. kohli..

 

[Sandeep]

Cricinfo:-

Srinvas: "If they really want to play unchanged team even after being kicked out of the tournament, why take extra players on tours? The BCCI can save lot of money and enhance their already swelled up kitty by sending just 12 players (1 for bringing drinks onto the field)"

 

[Justcrazy]

30 / 0 after 5

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhuvi getting lots of swing here.

 

[Electron]

Shami consistantly above 140kph... with a mix of brillant and crap deliveries.

Bowled

 

[Justcrazy]

Shami strikes

 

[cricket geek]

shami strikes inside first ten overs.one more needed

 

[Justcrazy]

India should have batted here first and looked to defend something.

 

[Electron]

Good late inswing at pace. If Shami had the likes of Ajmal and Afridi bowling with him.. he will be LETHAL !

 

[cricket geek]

India should have batted here first and looked to defend something.

why would kohli want to miss a simple century by batting first.

 

[Justcrazy]

32 / 1 after 6 overs

 

[Electron]

Edge and boundary.

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 1

 

[Electron]

Woww... that was MAGIC delivery from Shami

 

[cricket geek]

has bhuvi lost the ability to take early wickets

 

[Fire Bird]

Apart from that wicket, nothing going for Indians Afg going at run a ball despite the wicket. Indian bowling plumbs nwer depths

 

[cricket geek]

Cricinfo

what happend to cricinfo

 

[Justcrazy]

Shami is bowling well here.

 

[Justcrazy]

what happend to cricinfo

Its showing wrong scores , again getting correct , whole thing repeating .

 

[Justcrazy]

maiden

42 / 1 after 9 overs

 

[Electron]

Great ball... Is it the same pitch where last Bangla Vs Pak match was played on ?

 

[Justcrazy]

48 / 1 after 10 overs

 

[cricket geek]

Great ball... Is it the same pitch where last Bangla Vs Pak match was played on ?

perhaps different pitch on the same ground

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

52 / 1

 

[cricket geek]

shami is a wicket taking bowler but he always gives away too many runs

 

[Electron]

shami is a wicket taking bowler but he always gives away too many runs

To be honest, there is nothin in pitch. Once the swing disappears, things will get worse for fast bowlers.

 

[Fire Bird]

How depressing is it to watch the Indian bowling operate. Pathetic!

 

[Justcrazy]

52 / 1 after 11 overs

 

[cricket geek]

there is no excitement in the match

 

[Iffitheking]

Great start by Afghanistan....

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start by Mishra , just 2 runs

 

[Electron]

How depressing is it to watch the Indian bowling operate. Pathetic!

Why?

 

[Strike!]

Afghanistan really need to improve their batting against spin.

 

[Justcrazy]

Jadeja gets another

 

[Fire Bird]

Why?

One ball wide outside off and the next one on leg stump. If we were playing Australia, someonelike Warner would have put this "attack" to the sword. As we speak Sir gets wicket

Snother one Sirji on fire :AAG

 

[Ibad17]

Good start for Afghanistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian spinners will roll over the afghans here
