India v Australia | 4th Test Day 4 | Nagpur | 9/11/08

[natalia]

India currently 9/0 after 2.2 overs.
Certain draw

 

[natalia]

15/0 in 4.3 overs.

 

[jusarrived]

Good start , we need to play out 80 overs and give aus a target around 375 !

 

[Viv_rav]

I'd much rather only bat till 10 overs after tea and give the Ozs a chance at around 320 runs. It would make for some solid cricket

 

[itduzz]

shastri & Jullian are discussing abt too much cricket going on....

look at Pakistan )

 

[TruSachFan]

Brett Lee serving up the usual garbage.

 

[Viv_rav]

Man what the hell has cricket come down to?
I have gone from the excitement of wasim akram ripping batsmen up to some guy who bowls 90 MPH all day at a good angle and nothing else

 

[Poison]

Will be good to see Krejza get pumped today.

 

[itduzz]

Brett Lee serving up the usual garbage.

thats not garbage...he was bowling straight and atleast making batsman play unlike sharma/zaheer....hats to his commitment since he was on drips yesterday...

 

[Savak]

thats not garbage...he was bowling straight and atleast making batsman play unlike sharma/zaheer....hats to his commitment since he was on drips yesterday...

Commitment yes no doubt but unfortunately at the end of the day people only care whether you have produced results or not. Lee has let Australia down really badly in this series.

 

[Poison]

Savak yaar, we can't diss Lee for not producing results while sick, we can only commend it as incredible commitment, much like Akhtar in India.

 

[cricketrulez]

Does the frickin overates matter anymore? they already 4 overs behind! Ganguly got his balls busted over this ****!

 

[Viv_rav]

that lbw against sehwag was very close

 

[natalia]

sehwag looking good for his half century here

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I reckon if they don't get Sehwag out before lunch then its game, set and series

 

[wanted_desi]

Just watch Sehwag will play match winning inning here

 

[bablu_khan]

Just watch Sehwag will play match winning inning here

that was alredy played by the australians yesterday.

 

[SalaamPakistan]

How is new lad playing?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

How is new lad playing?

Quite good. He is playing the supportive role to Sehwag.

 

[deep82]

I like the look of Vijay....he would make an excellent no. 3

But then its too soon......

 

[deep82]

Kreza 0/46 (8 overs)...so much for new spin monster.

 

[SalaamPakistan]

Quite good. He is playing the supportive role to Sehwag.

Another Genuine Talent? Should be transferred to Pakistan team immediately after the comeback of Gambhir

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another Genuine Talent? Should be transferred to Pakistan team immediately after the comeback of Gambhir

Well, won't he have to replace the old man Dravid ?

 

[natalia]

krejza's economy is 6.56. and imagine, sohail tanvir's economy was even better than this in IPL

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Wow, a SIX and FOUR for Sehwag in Krejza's over.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another FOUR for Sehwag. He's really getting aggressive.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gone !!! Vijay, lbw Watson.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Dravid is the next batsman ) What the hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SalaamPakistan]

Well, won't he have to replace the old man Dravid ?

Yeah, that's true. In return, we demand Rohit Sharma. You can't have more than one. Pakistan ka reham karo !

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Something is fishy, why did Dhoni send Dravid in ? Is this Dravid's last match, and is that Dhoni's way for paying tribute to him ?

 

[Random Aussie]

that was alredy played by the australians yesterday.

Yep ) )

We are going to lose this match

 

[jusarrived]

dropping him down the order wouldnt help Dravids confidence , with little pressure maybe dhoni thinks this is the best time for him to get back into some kind of form !

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Come on, what is Dravid doing ? Play according to the situation !!

 

[nikred]

oh boy........dravid not again.

 

[jusarrived]

that pretty much ends Dravid's career !

 

[Random Aussie]

Savak yaar, we can't diss Lee for not producing results while sick, we can only commend it as incredible commitment, much like Akhtar in India.

Well he didn't produce any results when he was not sick so diss away.

Simple thing is four of our best five players going into this series (Hayden, Ponting, Clark and Lee) have failed to deliver. Ponting has been OK all things considered but none of them have been good. Hussey alone has played to his reputation.

 

[Random Aussie]

Watson doing well here, the young guys have been alright this series.

 

[deathstreak]

Clark has been ok I think, not big hundreds every innings but has been solid, bar yesterday

 

[deathstreak]

^^ and getting out just before day end of course

 

[tmac4real]

224 lead with 58 overs to spare. Declare at end of day I assume, or with 10 overs to spare maybe?

 

[jusarrived]

we can easily get a lead of 400 with 10 overs to spare !

 

[Random Aussie]

Clark has been ok I think, not big hundreds every innings but has been solid, bar yesterday

Clarke, Michael has been OK. He just can't seem to take the step from very good player to great player.

Clark, Stuart has been woeful.

 

[HuZi]

gpne viru

 

[Random Aussie]

Lee finally

How many half centuries for Sehwag this series? He must be annoyed with himself.

 

[deathstreak]

Clarke, Michael has been OK. He just can't seem to take the step from very good player to great player.

Clark, Stuart has been woeful.

hmm stuart Clarke, unhelpful conditions...
yup he is no where near McGrath. This just goes to show how good McGrath really was.

 

[natalia]

WOOHOO sehwag gone before his century

 

[deathstreak]

Krejza need less than a hundred more to get into the record books.

 

[Poison]

Ganguly should have been sent out in his final test

 

[deathstreak]

India are playing for a draw.
We will not declare today. Lots of time for Ganguly to bat

 

[bablu_khan]

pointing can now bring krejza whenever he want. Sehwag is not there anymore and krejza would give very few runs now then what he was giving before during sehwag's span on the crease

 

[tmac4real]

I'm surprised Dhoni didn't send Ganguly in, or himself. Ganguly is more aggressive and plays faster than Laxman. And dhoni is obvious...

They are in a excellent positoin dunno why they'd be playing for a draw. Do they honestly think Aussies can chase 400+ on a 5th day pitch?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Farewell Dravid !!

Fear factor is still there. You would not want to be Indian captain who made a sporting declaration and got beat and Aus retain the trophy.

 

[Random Aussie]

Brad Haddin you are a goose

Edit - Ponting you are also a goose, 12 overs in a row from Watson? I know he is bowling well but we will be sending him straight back to rehab if bowling that much.

 

[Bumblebee]

haha haddin u you Stupid ! the way india is playing his shirt i goin to come next to stop runs!

 

[jusarrived]

imagine the reaction if Dravid was playing with the strike rate of 25 now

 

[Random Aussie]

Laxman out! KREJZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ganguly out first ball! KREJZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 wickets on debut!!!

 

[lollol]

wow, 10 wkts on debut. Very good.

Funny he still is very expensive

 

[wanted_desi]

Game in On!!!!

 

[Random Aussie]

Hmm 250 lead, 5 wickets in hand.....

 

[jusarrived]

lol this is getting interesting now ....can aus bowl us out around 220 ?

 

[Random Aussie]

wow, 10 wkts on debut. Very good.

Funny he still is very expensive

Second best average this series of both teams

Matters not how much they cost, 10 wickets is 10 wickets on debut.

 

[Bumblebee]

well it's match on now!! india get 100 runs more! the match is in the bag, but will australia let them?? someone said this test match is boring!

 

[Random Aussie]

lol this is getting interesting now ....can Krejza bowl us out around 220 ?

Fixed

 

[jusarrived]

not a big deal , if your debuting against india

 

[Random Aussie]

Lol Cricindia "Ganguly out for a duck just like Bradman"

lmao

 

[Random Aussie]

not a big deal , if your debuting against india

It is a big deal if you are a spinner from Australia these days

 

[natalia]

TENDULKAR RUN OUT!!!
australia can still win this!
india 166/6!!
IM SO F***IN HAPPY!!!

 

[lollol]

Tendulkar run-out?

 

[wanted_desi]

Oh Tendulkar run Out!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Cant believe this, the old man just switched off the TV, Oz proving why they are such a champion side, however now we just have to launch get as much as we can, 300 run would set up a great chase....

 

[Random Aussie]

Talk about a reprieve from being hung....

Dhoni runs out SRT. That will be fun if India lose this match....

haha RA i can't imagine how you'll feel if australia win this one.
i need an interview

 

[Random Aussie]

It will be daylight robbery if we win this but we'll take it

 

[nikred]

Trust indians to make a mess of things.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Now if India and the Eagles both lose tommorow, it could be huge on me.. I will be taking a break from Pakpassion for a good week to recover....

 

[taqi]

White playing as a bowling allrounder or a batting allrounder
i think any other bowler will be better then him

 

[natalia]

India must lose another wicket :S

 

[Random Aussie]

Australia are 10 overs behind the over rate.

Although it will suck, missing out on winning this match because of our over rate would be fair enough. It is and has been disgraceful all series.

 

[lollol]

Or they could just try and win the match and let Ponting ban himself for 1 match for the slo over-rate
