Please make more of these posts

A question for indian fans, would you prefer a pitch like this or total phatta for pak encounter? Even though i think india would still win on both types of pitches.

If a team is favourites to win a game, they wouldn't want bowling friendly conditions cos that can mess things up on a bad day.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Total phatta, can't let amir get away with a moral victory

Patta. Takes Pak bowling out of the equation.

Let's go with top green, i love bowling tracks, only then we can break the streak.

 

[street cricketer]

Btw is this Pune or Perth..

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dhawan gone.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Btw is this Pune or Perth..

Well, it was a blind shot from Dhawan.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Dhawan had an Afridi moment.

 

[JaDed]

Will he send Pandya?Or come himself?Oh Yuvi.

Phatta, why to bring pak into the match at all?

 

[Sandeep]

This is a good match folks! Interesting

Even Perth isn't perth these days

 

[BaaliSoda]

Young rookie showing aukat of much vaunted Indian top order.

Spinning wicket obviously

 

[street cricketer]

Masterstroke this by the BCCI lulling everyone into believing that India will give green tracks for the world cup

 

[battler]

Yuvi

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Raina you clueless fool ,this match is amazing

Highest score so far with the best strike rate

 

[JaDed]

Yuvi lol

 

[IcedCoffee]

Who's next? Dhoni or one of the youngins?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yuvi kicks off with a bang

 

[#GreenRoars]

Who's next? Dhoni or one of the youngins?

Which young guns you are talking about?

 

[JaDed]

haha yeah

 

[Sandeep]

Hyderabad ka shan, Yuvraj is here

 

[Zeshan547]

Patta. Takes Pak bowling out of the equation.

but than even lullu pak batting can still give absolute phainte to your trundler brigade, just like what akmal did last night.

 

[street cricketer]

Well, it was a blind shot from Dhawan.

Agreed but the track looks like a South African track..

 

[IcedCoffee]

Oh i thought Negi was playing. Guess that leaves Pandya.

 

[street cricketer]

No yaar, I have confidence in Pak batting. They are the only batting side who make our bowlers look like Marshall and McGrath

 

[BaaliSoda]

Has Senanayake changed his bowling action or what?

Looks very weird!

 

[IcedCoffee]

Love this Qatar Airways commercial. Anyone know the music?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

So much for our much hyped batting lineup. And Chameera hasn't even bowled yet.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Yea. He's an ex-chucker.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Don't worry you will get flat patta in WT20

 

[battler]

142k from chameera

 

[street cricketer]

Suddenly this Lankan bowling line up look like the pacy Windies quartet of the 70s.

I miss Kulasekara and Mathews already

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yea. He's an ex-chucker.

Even this supposed remodeled action (for naked eyes) looks very kinky.

 

[Adil_94]

I suspect by the WT20 the tracks will flatten out.

[IcedCoffee]

I think Ashwin will play a very big part in the WT20 (Jadeja if there's turn). Could be the biggest diff b/w the sides.

 

[Adil_94]

Dhoni ATG Chennai knock vs Pakistan needed

What a track for Pandya to make debut in. You have to feel for him..

It takes time to adjust on seaming tracks when you have played a whole month of loi's on the flat roads of Australia

 

[BaaliSoda]

Pitch is way too spicy!

 

[IcedCoffee]

Anyone know what pace Rajitha was hitting?

 

[JaDed]

The bounce on the pitch is shocking how is that possible?Will this be Dhoni's new home for IPL?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Was that intentional?

 

[JaDed]

100-130ish,with 100 his slow ball

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is it a pitch or trampoline?

lol

 

[IcedCoffee]

lol highest and lowest team total in same tournament.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lol, Yuvi can't even tough the ball, bring spinners for him please.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

True but none of our bats have the ability to play on a seaming track anyway.

 

[Zeshan547]

No yaar, I have confidence in Pak batting. They are the only batting side who make our bowlers look like Marshall and McGrath

but the weird thing is that happens 99% time only in world cup games, where it actually matter most and hurt most. Otherwise in bilaterals even pak batting always dish out typical phainte to your trundler brigade.

 

[street cricketer]

Road in Perth and a scorcher in Pune, who would've thunk!

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION] I bet you are hoping Yuvi does well on this track. Yuvi gets a 50 place in starting XI for WT20 confirmed.

Ah ok. Thanks.

I hope they are not gonna have these sort of pitches for home games in IPL (MSD's Pune lacks quality pacer in their ranks to exploit these conditions and their batting too heavily top centric)

 

[IcedCoffee]

Rahane. Barring this game.

 

[JaDed]

Its turning as well WTH???

Yuvi seems to do well when the ball is in the arc these days.

But other deliveries he doesn't look good.

 

[BaaliSoda]

No Pun intended,there

Yuvraj will play in the XI no matter how he does here.

 

[street cricketer]

That Yuvi opening six looked like almost an apology for his last world cup final performance.

 

[IcedCoffee]

India playing like half the PSL games within PP.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Another drop catch ) Golden day for Raina.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rahane. Barring this game.

He's not a T20 player but any stretch of the imagination. I have no clue what he's doing in this team in the first place

 

[BaaliSoda]

Raina baal baal bache again

Tough one though, for the fielder

Edit: Raina gone

 

[IcedCoffee]

Anyone read Manjrekar's article on flat tracks on cricinfo? He sure seems excited to witness this :ahmed

 

[street cricketer]

Was a matter of time..

 

[#GreenRoars]

After 2 drop catches, Raina

Who's a better (lesser) replacement for Kohli?

 

[BaaliSoda]

A score of 100 will be a great achievement(if they get to that, it is) from our batsmen tonight.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good on SL for trying out youngsta beauties

 

[IcedCoffee]

Dhoni doesn't have a single 50 in T20s? Strange.

 

[Syed1]

Parosis in deep deep trouble

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hehe bad luck.

It was just waiting to happen on this track.

We rarely had such spicy track in the recent times.

MSD perishes too

 

[IcedCoffee]

I'm actually excited to see Bumrah on this track now.

 

[battler]

lol what a pitch )

 

[Ankit007]

What the hell is happening here???
