69 runs from last 10 overs

That's how you should bat on flat decks :sehwag

 

[sami231]

wish pakistani batsman batted like this

before everyone start attacking me, i know they are scoring run but in our top 6 only younis and hafeez can increase the pace even if their lives depended on it.

 

[dinakar]

Good batting by WI. Good to see it not turning up to a one sided game.. And test time for the bowlers.

 

[velu]

finally.. Bravo is

Great innings . WI have nothing to lose.

 

[Random Aussie]

Firstly they used to bat like that and lose, just like the WI will here.

Secondly you dont get to bat against the Indian bowling

 

[Random Aussie]

WI are very disappointing team, they used to have very little talent and lose, now they have lots of talent and still lose.

Three nil to India this series will be.

 

[chaiwala]

Beastly catch from Dravid

 

[Ambi]

418-7

 

[velu]

What a surprise. I thought WI will avoid follow on.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a catch Dravid

 

[chaiwala]

OMG, that was out??!?!

 

[chaiwala]

OMG, that was out??!?!

Doesn't matter now. bowled him

 

[dinakar]

Does anyone feel for Bhajji now?

 

[Munna]

this is the series that should have had only 2 tests.. not the AUS vs SA!

 

[chaiwala]

being lazy

 

[velu]

Does anyone feel for Bhajji now?

[velu]

 

[Bhaijaan]

9 down, it's about to get over.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Which spinner would you select against Australia? Ashwin or Ojha - I'll go with Ashwin
3 pacers are a must - Yadav, Z Khan and (P.Kumar or Ishant)

 

[Bhaijaan]

Well done Yadav.

India wins 2-0

 

[velu]

umesh.. 5 out of 7 wickets are bowled

 

[velu]

some legspinner ??

 

[chaiwala]

umesh.. 5 out of 7 wickets are bowled

I can't wait until Varun joins him. Could be such an awesome duo.

 

[velu]

another one for umesh )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Finally India found a finisher hope Indian bowling coaches doesn't ruin him like sreesanth and ask him to drop his pace.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Which spinner would you select against Australia? Ashwin or Ojha - I'll go with Ashwin

Ojha ahead of Ashwin for me

umesh yadav

 

[chaiwala]

I'd have Yadav, Ishant, Zak, and Ashwin.

 

[Ambi]

Duncan Fletcher’s India team

Having extracted our face from the dent in our desk, we did manage to catch much of today’s play, our view unobscured by tears of frustration.

What we saw was India’s bowling attack and it looks a damn sight better than it had in England. Bizarrely, the man who emerged with most credit from that tour, Praveen Kumar, is no longer on show.

Our efforts to find out where he was initially led us to believe that he’d obtained a doctorate and taken a role with the Haryana Urban Development Authority. However, it turns out he’s just been playing for Uttar Pradesh against Saurashtra, so maybe his absence is a Fletcher thing.

It’s hard to say how much influence Duncan Fletcher has over selection of Indian teams. It may be very little, but at the very least he’ll voice an opinion and for all his attributes, Praveen Kumar isn’t a Fletcher bowler. Fletch likes his fast bowlers to be just that.

Umesh Yadav is a Fletcher bowler and we’ll doubtless be seeing more of him after he took 3-23 in West Indies’ first innings. As England coach, Fletcher erred towards the workmanlike spinner, but he’s blessed with more options in India and both Pragyan Ojha and R Ashwin have done enough to justify Harbhajan Singh’s exclusion. Was that another Fletcher move?

All in all, the Indian team is looking a little more adaptable and should hopefully travel a bit better. Not sure whether Yuvraj is a Fletcher player though and we’ve an inkling that Virat Kohli is.

[velu]

Umesh Yadav , Indian Waqarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[velu]

Ojha ahead of Ashwin for me

+1
Somehow i do feel he is good in LoIs than test matches.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Give Yadav the MOM, will be a great confidence booster.

 

[Ambi]

Rahul dravid

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I'd have Yadav, Ishant, Zak, and Ashwin.

Ishant has an average of 59.66 in Australia and he was quite pathetic in England (averaging 58.18) Even though Praveen is a tad bit slow he has the ability to swing the ball both ways and had an average below 30 in England. Not to mention he gives his 100%.

So, I'll pick Yadav, Z. Khan and P. Kumar. Spinner Ashwin.
