can danish ever pick up a wicket early in the first innings

which spinners can regularly?
 
163/5

Kaneria getting into his groove, 2/3 more wickets this session would be ideal :19:
 
Shoiab should bowl 4 - too predictable now for Indians to wait it out.
Dhoni was in trouble against Shoaib. Clearly he is NOT match fit. One feels that one extra ball here or there and he will be out for the match.

Cmon Pakistan - show some steel now - please
 
Short, wide, and dispatched

get your act together Sami!

Malik needs his thinking cap now - he cannot just keep on bowling Danish for ever and sit back...

I disagree..Danish has to keep bowling from one end to build up the pressure and let the pacers rotate at the other end.
 
India has to get a lead of 100+ here. The pitch has already started ti play the odd trick with balls keeping low. Pakistan are still in a very healthy position. Just need to knock one of these two out quickly to cement this position.
 
too wide - too short...another 4 from Dhoni - and we are heading for a brick wall :)

168/5
 
Edged and 4..

Sami getting angry and that can be a good thing.
 
I guess Sami is striving for extra pace and losing his plot. Suits the batsmen nicely.

Edged past slips for 4. Sami is livid and starts mouthing off..

No half measures from Dhoni.
 
just what is it with sami in test cricket....he work so hard, very commited and yet he cant deliver what he did against nz on his debut test...nothing close to that....we always hope that maybe its his time but that never happen..
 
Malik and Tanvir should be the next set of bowlers now
 
ShivaRama trying his best to start a movement to bring Tendu back. In last 5 min he probably has said "very unfortunate dismissal of Tendulkar" 4 times
 
Obvioulsy we see what we see on TV but does Malik get any advice from the other serniors or not? Seems pretty lonley up there...

Danish leaking runs.. 174/5

But one of our better batsman :D

then he shd fight for a batsman spot. how many chances he will get b4 being dumped for good. I wonder if bowlers like SHahid Nazir, M. Akram, Aamir Nazir etc wud have got these chances then we wud have a decent and experienced bowler up till now. Even Faisal Iqbal who is the most hated person on this board has hit a ton and some 50s in test cricket but Sami potential Marshall wont perform even if his life is dependent on it.

I really think Sami and Kami have really got some dodgy pics of DNA & our selectors to get selected again n again
 
Who is showing DELHI vs MUMBAI game? Sehwag and Gambhir on fire. I am more interested in that game then Dhoni and Laxman's recovery.
 
This partnership is getting dangerous. We need to break it in the next 4-5 overs otherwise they could start to run away with things.
 
what a surprise, sami leaking runs..wherea re all thsoe demanding his return? is this not enough proof that we needed to blood a youngster??..not this loser!

hain :20: :20:

27 runs in 10 overs so far, come on barray mian
 
Indias batsmen both look well set here and its not looking good. We need a break through.
 
Kaneria does not have any secret weapons, except his Googly, he does not play ODIs, sitting home doing nothing, he can think of bringing in something new to his bowling, he should come ready for test matches.
 
ok guys...this is tooo painful to watch......Sami will never deliver ...dhoni will always do it against us....gota go and get some sleep , hope when i wake up we are done with india innigns..
 
Sami is been to woeful here...

To many runs been given away! Partnership up to 90 runs...
 
The partnership is now 93 runs; deficit 45 runs.

Things have changed, from 93/5!
 
Dhoni reaches 50 with a boundary! off 78 balls.

Well played under pressure, young man!

Whatever Dhoni is scoring in test match is bonus for India. He really have no place in team, against Yuvi.

That's very sensible of you.
 
superb innings under pressure by Dhoni. What a find for India. Cool, calm and actually can perform.

kaneria has bowled pretty well... Tanvir just got one over.

How has Kaneria bowled well? Most of his delieveries have just been left, and he's bowled a lot of short delieveries.

so who is gonna open? or u gonna break Karthik back by giving him both jobs of opening and keeping ?
Click to expand...
Ganguly / Yuvi / Rahul Any one of these three. All have opened for India in test, and Dravid / Yuvi were good in result.
 
LOL, I dont think Kaneria has bowled badly. I guess he has been asked to contain. And he hasnt leaked too many runs post tea.
 
Any good spinners expected in future who are doing well in domestic cricket? any info pl share

By the way Sehwag's bad time still to over, out under 10. :)) Got a place in team keeping Shikar Dhavan out, but no user. Poor Shikar :6: .

I meant Dhoni.. picked up the wrong post to quote!!!
 
Yuvraj chatting up with Shoaib at the boundary. Wonder what they are discussing.
 
Dhoni has taken exactly the same approach as he plays a one day international game.
 
Not much batting for India after these two.

Just need to break this partnership. Come on.
