West Indies v India | 2nd ODI | Jamaica | 28/6/09

[adnanlotia]

who is commentating now ?

I have totally forgotten his name....he is the ex west indian fast bowler...i am not talking about the commentator...i am talking about the guy sitting int he SKY studios

 

[12thMan]

before it was Dujon and Coetzer
Now Bishop and I thing Farvez Mohammad (does radio commentary regularly but since Eng-WI series been on TV)
Now it is SRK with someone - Bishop

 

[ahmed16]

good decision by india to keep the series interesting and letting this one go.

) Legend

 

[dblock]

Santy: "It is time for Dhoni to redeem himself. It has been only hype about Dhoni for the last couple of years. and he hasn't played even one big innings. lets see if he does not, I am willing to bet that he wont."

Just checking the stats.. in 60 odd innings Dhoni scored only a single century and that too was against Hong Kong, granted that he does come much lower down the order now.

 

[adnanlotia]

good decision by india to keep the series interesting and letting this one go.

And they should try and loose the next 2 games as well.....so that the indian fans look forward to the champions trophy and also give them a warm welcome back home

 

[RexRex]

.i am not talking about the commentator...i am talking about the guy sitting int he SKY studios

they cut to the studio in the middle of the match ?

 

[12thMan]

Sky studio one probably Colin Croft. I haven't see it but he is often there

 

[adnanlotia]

yeah...just the voice from time to time... between overs.....when something is seriously unpredictable happening in the match...like on this occassion a collapse of the indian batting order

 

[adnanlotia]

Sky studio one probably Colin Croft. I haven't see it but he is often there

thank you/.....it is colin croft

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

haaaaa bangara bajan goesssssssssssssssssss

 

[adnanlotia]

bhajji gone....i wonder if this is the same pitch as the one used on Friday...this is crazyyyyyy

 

[Lethal]

Bravo strikes.

Bhajji gone. Caught behind.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

windies might enforce the follow on

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bhajji gone....i wonder if this is the same pitch as the one used on Friday...this is crazyyyyyy

what is crazy about that?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bhaji goes Bhangra Time.

 

[adnanlotia]

I think if Dhoni bats sensibly they can get upto a respectable T20 total

 

[Lethal]

What is Dhoni going to do now?

With Kumar at the crease and RP Singh and Nehra to come - he should hit out.

 

[12thMan]

Bad news for WI. India has replaced Ishant Sharma by Parveen

 

[RexRex]

Just checking the stats.. in 60 odd innings Dhoni scored only a single century and that too was against Hong Kong, granted that he does come much lower down the order now.

From cricinfo commentary ,

In ODIs his most recent scores read 41,9,68,23*,84*,53,94,35*,23,61*,50

In 11 of his Innings he has scored 50+ 6 times.His Series averages read 68.18,98.39,88.96,81.14,77.51,91.34,107.31

what more do you want ?

 

[adnanlotia]

what is crazy about that?

the nature of the collapse as this is by no means a minefield....pitch is showing no signs of being a horror wicket to bat on

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

82 for seven india in total command

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

the nature of the collapse as this is by no means a minefield....pitch is showing no signs of being a horror wicket to bat on

what about the west indian bowlers bowling very well?

 

[Maula Jutt]

From over 330 runs in the last match to this. Amazing. :/

 

[RexRex]

somebody stay with dhoni goddamnit !

 

[adnanlotia]

yes by all means....credit where its due....they are bowling very well indeed

 

[adnanlotia]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

rampaulllllllllllllllllll strikessssssssssssss

 

[tauseefm]

Praveen bibi outttttttttttttttt

 

[Lethal]

Rampaul has 4 now.

Kumar gone.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kumar Bhi ) ) ) )

 

[12thMan]

oh no Ramdin has taken five catches. Is he breaking some Pakistan record?
Rampaul gets #4. Parveen ct at 1st slip
India 82-8 after 21.3 overs
Al-Khair ka 5-star foam

 

[adnanlotia]

surely Dhoni is already thinking of settling down in the Caribean now....its the safest place at the moment to be for him....out of everywhere in the world....probably one of the only places on earth where not a major indian community

 

[Lethal]

somebody stay with dhoni goddamnit !

Too late - would be better if Dhoni plays hit shots now before the other 2 are out too.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

When tomorrow there will be not a single soul in the ground then Honi will hit his bounaries )

 

[cricketpassion]

is india gonna score 100

 

[adnanlotia]

is india gonna score 100

it will be a good score to chase....lets see if gayle would be able to chase down the total in the 1st powerplay

 

[Lethal]

Dhoni takes the 3rd Powerplay.

 

[adnanlotia]

dhoni finally decides to take the batting powerplay....lets see if he can get it over the infield

 

[12thMan]

Bolly songs are on. End is coming

 

[RexRex]

Tomorrow's headline :

Dhoni hits unbeaten century ; takes India to narrow victory.

any takers ?

 

[Lethal]

Big wide from Bravo.

 

[Lethal]

Dhoni ready to cut loose now.

 

[Lethal]

But Dhoni cannot connect.

 

[adnanlotia]

Tomorrow's headline :

Dhoni hits unbeaten century ; takes India to narrow victory.

any takers ?

maybe in the 4th ODI which india would need to level the series....not today...its too late to be honest

 

[Lethal]

Big Benn to bowl now.

 

[Lethal]

Dhoni not taking the singles now

 

[Lethal]

Dhoni hits a 6. Good shot.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

watch out how indian media will tell everyone that sehwag would have won this match on his own

 

[12thMan]

India needs to get 150 atleast

 

[RexRex]

o sweet dhoni
stop being a phoney

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Tomorrow's headline :

Dhoni hits unbeaten century ; takes India to narrow victory.

any takers ?

or maybe

Illiterate indian fans burn effigies of dhoni....as indian cricketers crushed in
2nd odi and decide to reside in the west indies for safety )

 

[adnanlotia]

or maybe

Illiterate indian fans burn effigies of dhoni....as indian cricketers crushed in
2nd odi and decide to reside in the west indies for safety )

Jamaican estate agents in big demand near the kingston area as the entire indian squad looking for temporary residence due to the aftermath of their crushing loss to the Windies in the 2nd ODI and the indian govt not being able to guarantee players safety on their return home....all families of the indian squad are advised to leave the country at their earliest...

[pakcricketfan]

you really think I would open cricinfo just to check the scorecard for this match??! )

 

[pakcricketfan]

India needs to get 150 atleast

Are they playing T20?? I thought they were supposed to play ODI..

 

[adnanlotia]

dhoni just about screwed it for India....lucky he got the single off the overthrow

 

[adnanlotia]

you really think I would open cricinfo just to check the scorecard for this match??! )

how about an indian cricket forum to see if any of them are still discussing this match on there.....anyone has links to an indian cricket forum.....

 

[adnanlotia]

Are they playing T20?? I thought they were supposed to play ODI..

150 would be a great score to test Gayle and Co to see if they can chase it in the 1st powerplay

 

[adnanlotia]

itna sunnata kiyon hai bhai

 

[Maula Jutt]

itna sunnata kiyon hai bhai

This match has become way too predictable. I am more excited to see reviews of this in Indian newspapers later than watching the actual match, TBH.

 

[adnanlotia]

India 107-8 after 30 Overs.

Dhoni looking to bat another 20 overs to get upto 150...RP singh advised by Dhoni to block 5 out of 6 balls he faces

 

[adnanlotia]

This match has become way too predictable. I am more excited to see reviews of this in Indian newspapers later than watching the actual match, TBH.

True....but I have nothing better to do or watch...so have to live with this playing on telly....

I guess its pass 11:00PM in karachi now so not even worth staying awake for this match

 

[Maula Jutt]

Nah I'm in California at the moment. Going back to Karachi next week. It's a lazy Sunday morning here. Don't have much to do either so I'm keeping an eye on the score too.

Looking forward to Pak-Lanka next. They'd be wanting revenge. We'd be wanting... nothing. Can't wait!

 

[RexRex]

if it had been pak batting in the second innings , atleast i would have hope of defending this small total

 

[FAM]

if it had been pak batting in the second innings , atleast i would have hope of defending this small total

) Good one.

 

[adnanlotia]

yeah ...pak vs SL would be fun to watch...

how is california...I am sure it would be better than here in London or Khi...I have heard aaj kal light kam jaateee hai...pehle 16 ghante jaati thee....ab 14 ghante hogayee hai

 

[adnanlotia]

if it had been pak batting in the second innings , atleast i would have hope of defending this small total

It really took you a very long time to think of this one.....now you can go and come back in half an hour with another slag

 

[RexRex]

lol....did i offend you ?

 

[Khabri420]

Rudra needs to be promoted up the order for the next match.

 

[ahmed16]

if it had been pak batting in the second innings , atleast i would have hope of defending this small total

Now why would you write that on PAKpassion.

 

[RexRex]

Now why would you write that on PAKpassion.

[12thMan]

39 overs gone
ab zindagi guzar jayegi araam kay saath

 

[Maula Jutt]

California is awesome. A little warm nowadays. How is the land of the Queen? You guys will have a great summer next year it seems. Pak-cricket wise.

Haan bas Allah miyan ki meherbaani hai. Loadshedding 16 se 14 ghantay ho gai. Kabhi ghuroor nahi kiya.
