India v New Zealand | 2nd Test at Bangalore, Aug 31-Sep 4

[Marshland]

Pujara is a compulsive hooker and puller.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Tendulkar yaar ..

 

[praveen]

Ah yeah the Indian commies are terrible....they just circle jerk their bats. And Doully and McMillan just kiss up to them - it's hilarious. Must be something to do with IPL commentary contracts and the like....can't imagine Smithy being the same.

Who's that? MCMillan is a little aggressive today but yes we always hire timid and amiable commies from the opposing country , hardly ever witnessed a good debate.

[Marshland]

Encouraging LBW calls against the Sach.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Ian Smith.

 

[praveen]

100 up.

 

[Space Cat]

Smithy is busy with Rugby commentary.

 

[praveen]

Ian Smith.

Okay,I haven't heard much of him.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pujara looking better

 

[Marshland]

Macca > van Wyk

 

[Space Cat]

Hoping Southee can extract some reverse swing in another hour or so.

 

[IgnitedMind]

:4

 

[Marshland]

Boundary to the Sach.

 

[JibranAnsari]

two quick wickets needed here, come on kiwis.

 

[violet_may]

First boundary

 

[Marshland]

8 wicket defeat looming.

 

[Marshland]

This is the problem. We never seem to string two good sessions together.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Guys how do you rate Pujara..??

I think he is going to serve Indian cricket for long time...very very good temperament and technique...

 

[Sandeep]

Pujara stamping his authority!

 

[mastermind_quad]

wow he hit 2 back to back s after my comment here...

 

[Marshland]

Sigh....Bracewell.

 

[Marshland]

Pujara all class.

Very promising player, looks the real thing

Looks the part....his real test will come in South Africa 2013!

@Marsh - I always felt Doull to be a much more straight forward commie than others who visited India(from NZ). Even today, he was straightaway criticized Gambhir for trying to influence the ump by showing his bat(reminded the batsmen should be using DRS if available, to prove that there is an edge) for an LBW appeal for which the useless Sunny G tried countering with his usual bullcrap explanation.

Despite being on payroll of BCCI regularly, i hardly found Doull to be tool (same cant be said about Sunny G or Ravi Bot etc)

 

[Marshland]

Sach is looking like a finished man here. Was that the 10th delivery that beat him?

 

[Saurav]

Pujara plays square very well.dunno why they r bowling short to him.he doesnt play straight drives that much,will be found out I think.then it'll be a challenge for him

 

[Sandeep]

Pujara playing a very Laxmansque innings here... attacking during pressure

n he is not biased as well.gives India credit where due.said India has all the right to prepare pitches that we want

 

[raavan]

 

[Sandeep]

out

what?

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Southee having a word or two for Pujara
Hope he remains calm

 

[mastermind_quad]

Very promising player, looks the real thing

Looks the part....his real test will come in South Africa 2013!

Yep SA.....I hope and pray he'll come good there as well...
He is good learner and keen on improving his game and a long time performer in domestic tourneys as well as on 'A' tours.

Come on Pujara...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Very true. This is what is clearly missing in most of our commies (barring Sanjay) that is to be equally eloquent in praising opposition players.

Saurav Ganguly,despite having much better command over the language and greater vocab seems to be at the other end of the spectrum. Very cynical with his views about Indian team(possibly due to his personal grudge against certain players and selectors) for most of the time.

 

[Sandeep]

Southee working out Pujara... better to rotate strike and disturb his rythm

 

[Sandeep]

brilliant prospects for NZ in fast bowling dept, now need to find two more 'capable' batsmen

 

[praveen]

8 wicket defeat looking imminent .

Fixed

 

[Saurav]

Sanjay n Gaguly both seem very cynical to me

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

I think Rahane should be in the side too....

 

[Saurav]

Pujara lucky

 

[Sandeep]

I think Rahane should be in the side too....

I was referring to Kiwis

 

[Space Cat]

Damn stumping chance gone begging. Stuff is happening with Patel on.

 

[Sandeep]

Wow Patel is bowling well!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Even against an half decent spinner Sachin is struggling, now. Not a good sign.

 

[Sandeep]

I remember Pujara getting out to Hauritz in a similar fashion where he scored 72 to win India a test in the 4th innings

 

[Sandeep]

:4 thats the way you treat noobs, no offence

 

[bin_pendi_ka_lota]

Even against an half decent spinner Sachin is struggling, now. Not a good sign.

Pujara was out there against Patel had Van Wyk gathered the bowl there. Pitch is turning now. Dont think its easy to face the spinners there

 

[Marshland]

Sach!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Pujara was out there against Patel had Van Wyk gathered the bowl there. Pitch is turning now. Dont think its easy to face the spinners there

Ball before that Sachin had an edge to collect a single in the slip cordon. He appears to me just not been able to be judge the length properly against both pacers as well as spinner.

 

[Marshland]

Damn stumping chance gone begging. Stuff is happening with Patel on.

Macca isn't used to it these days.

 

[Marshland]

Only 118 to get. I think it's game over.

 

[Space Cat]

Macca isn't used to it these days.

What, a spinner that turns the ball?

 

[Marshland]

Rain stops play. This may actually be good for us, for it stalls the momentum and gives us some cloud to play with when we get back on.

 

[Marshland]

What, a spinner that turns the ball?

No, keeping in the longer format.

 

[Saurav]

rain will halt momentum

 

[Saurav]

No, keeping in the longer format.

but still keeps in ODIs,how does colour of the ball matter

 

[Space Cat]

but still keeps in ODIs,how does colour of the ball matter

Exactly. Also keeps in IPL on Kolkata turning wickets.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Exactly. Also keeps in IPL on Kolkata turning wickets.

Nope.. Bisla keeps wicket for KKR

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yet another dismissal through bowled for Sachin.

 

[Sandeep]

Sachin gone...bowled once again! Lets see what Pujara and Kohli can do!

 

[Justcrazy]

India will win by 5 wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Its cloudy still , but no swing

 

[Justcrazy]

154 / 3

 

[Nitin Tomer]

It's high time Sachin should retire. He has been failing, and failing miserably. And in the process maligning his own legacy...

 

[Space Cat]

Nope.. Bisla keeps wicket for KKR

McCullum kept in many of the games he played. I watched it.

 

[Saurav]

103 needed now

 

[Animal]

Watching Tendulkar these days is like experiencing the painful sensation of nails scratching a blackboard.

 

[Sandeep]

India will win by 5 wickets

So desperate for Indian loss!

 

[Justcrazy]

Match is in India Pocket ........... India require another 103 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara looks a good player ........ KKR once had him.

 

[Space Cat]

Big wicket for Jeets!

 

[Ibad17]

two quick wickets and we can still see some twist..

 

[Sandeep]

Pujara looks a good player ........ KKR once had him.

hehe...purpose solved

 

[Saurav]

Pujara


game even now

 

[Space Cat]

Great catch by Flynn. Its hard to cover ground from that position.

 

[Sandeep]

Can Kohli steer India home?! Great test for the young bat...this requires nerves

 

[Justcrazy]
