India vs West Indies | 1st Test | Kolkata | 6-10th November

[Noobosauras]

Obviously some aren't exact copies, I was more so talking about styles.

I think Rohit is the only one the lot who I see doing great things in Test cricket.

True, but Rohit is lazy a bit. I have more hopes from Pujara. When he gets a 50 he greally grinds it to a big score. He is playing a shot too many these days but he I think has an equally good if not better future than Rohit.

on your other question,

I would say Pujara is best bat at the moment in tests.
Pujara>Rohit>Dhawan>Kohli for me

 

[Robbie]

today India scored 300+ runs despite losing 5 wickets in the first hour

brilliant scoring rate.

 

[OZGOD]

Good comeback from India. Added 250-odd runs from 5-85. Even though he looks like Humpty Dumpty Rohit Shama has batted well.

 

[Saurav]

thats what I like about this young batsmen.all are stroke players and dont go into their shells no matter what the situation.like Aussies of 2000s

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

dhawan - sehwag
pujara - dravid
kohli - ganguly
sachin - no replacement
rohit - laxman
ashwin & msd very useful lower order bats whom we never had in test format (ind)

Sorry if I've hurt any genuine Indian fans with the banter, was mostly aimed at the trolls.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

[dravid the wall]

200 is possible for rohit

 

[Animal]

And to think we have Vijay Zol, Sarfraz Khan, and Prithvi Shaw waiting to take off. Good times for Indian batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Match to be over by 4th day at most

 

[London_Lahori]

India can now easily play 5 specialist bowlers , Ashwin can easily bat in top 6

When they play in India yes they could do.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

400 up

Rohit moves to 156

 

[Justcrazy]

Yesterday when India had lost 5 wickets cheaply , I had said that India is bound to take a solid lead , no one believed me , now look what is happening

 

[Justcrazy]

WI not looking like getting a wicket here .

 

[chaiwala]

lol Ashwin getting fancy

 

[chaiwala]

Chucker about to bowl

 

[Aman]

Rohit for 300?

 

[Justcrazy]

413 / 6

 

[chaiwala]

Nohit's going for the debut triple hundred.

 

[Justcrazy]

Only 5 players have a double century on debut

 

[Moosa]

So India winning by an innings

No 2nd innings for Tendulkar

 

[Justcrazy]

261 runs partnership ............. Highest partnership ever for India ( 7th wickets )

 

[Moosa]

Nohit's going for the debut triple hundred.

He must go for Lara's 400 world record

 

[Aman]

If Rohit scores 300 on debut... Someone won't be happy

 

[Justcrazy]

Can WI break this partnership ?

 

[Justcrazy]

WI will beaten by Zimbabwe , if they play them now.

 

[Justcrazy]

India lead by 190 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Rohit on 172 not out.

 

[Spidy201]

out of 120 overs in this inning 51 !! bowled by shillingford. Thats over kill

 

[Premier Cricketer]

Rohit to go for a triple and Ashwin a double. India to score so much more.

 

[Justcrazy]

430 / 6

 

[jattafridi]

The way rohit playing he can easily break Lara record

 

[jattafridi]

Finally

 

[Moosa]

Another wrong decision by umpire

 

[Mo Dipsy]

Am I the only one that thinks it was a good decision? No shot was offered, and most of the ball would have struck off stump

 

[Moosa]

Dropped by the keeper

 

[Justcrazy]

444 / 7

 

[Moosa]

Out Ashwin

Great innings


5 wickets for Shillingford

 

[jattafridi]

Shillingford 5fer

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[battler]

Am I the only one that thinks it was a good decision? No shot was offered, and most of the ball would have struck off stump

U can't give it out if impact was outside off,which it clearly was.

 

[Electron]

Am I the only one that thinks it was a good decision? No shot was offered, and most of the ball would have struck off stump

Yes, you might be the only one.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

U can't give it out if impact was outside off,which it clearly was.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can give it out if no shot was offered?

 

[Justcrazy]

India lead by 217 runs with 2 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[jattafridi]

1 wicket remaining

 

[Electron]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can give it out if no shot was offered?

You can't give it out, when there is no way that the ball was hitting stump.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

You can't give it out, when there is no way that the ball was hitting stump.

No, what I am asking is, suppose there is impact outside of off stump, ball would go on to hit the stumps, no shot offered you can give it out even though impact outside off? I'm not asking about this particular wicket.

 

[Mo Dipsy]

You can't give it out, when there is no way that the ball was hitting stump.

Don't let the commies influence you. In my opinion, most of the ball would have hit off stump

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Electron]

No, what I am asking is, suppose there is impact outside of off stump, ball would go on to hit the stumps, no shot offered you can give it out even though impact outside off? I'm not asking about this particular wicket.

Not too sure, but I have seen batsmen pad balls away which pitch outside the line.

 

[battler]

Now bhuvi sawn off by the umpire??

 

[Robbie]

453 all out.

 

[jattafridi]

India ao 453

 

[Electron]

Don't let the commies influence you. In my opinion, most of the ball would have hit off stump

I am watching the match. Never really rated commies or their views

 

[jattafridi]

India should win by innings

 

[battler]

Sachin,kohli and rohit sawn off by the umpires

 

[Electron]

Sachin,kohli and rohit sawn off by the umpires

And probably, Bhuvi too. Let's hope that umpires don't try to make up for their errors by being harsh on West Indies batsmen. India could afford it, but WI wouldn't last long if they get a couple of bad ones.

 

[Moosa]

India XI vs WI XIII

Both umpires playing for Windies

 

[Robbie]

i dont understand that why bcci opposes drs.

whenever there is drs in the series, india does well. Icc world cup and ct13 is the case in point.

 

[Robbie]

Mohd shami and ojha are the bowlers to watch out for in this inning.

 

[soso_killer]

This is just depressing

 

[Moosa]

This is just depressing

Why?

Don't worry we will only beat saffers 1-0 in Dec and not whitewash them out of humanity

 

[Robbie]

This is just depressing

i can understand what u are going through.
