[BaaliSoda]

Great work Mr Butter Gloves - Missed the stumping chance of Sarwan

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 next ball after that missed stumping

 

[jheenga]

parthiv is lousy imo ...53/2

 

[thecricket]

missed stumping?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Little Parthiv Patel the kid who set the precedent for all wickies on how to drop catches, back to what he does BEST: DROPPING CATCHES....

 

[thecricket]

:4

 

[BaaliSoda]

54 for 2 after 16 overs

We need Saha for our remaining games as a WK not this useless rubbish of a WK called PP

Drinks Break now

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Should have picked Saha or Dinesh.... either of them are better than the Patel bhai here...

Wonder if Modi passed a few rupees to Pawar for getting a Patel bhai in??

Parthiv had a successful domestic season this season. let him play, otherwise he wont get chance when Dhoni comes into the squad. Lets hope he performs better with the gloves. You remember the legend:kami?

 

[ahamedirshad123]

in other news, Sri lanka just trail by 14 runs. A much better performance from the lions.

I honestly dont think Patel is better than Kartick or Saha.

These two make occassional mistake, whilst PP makes occasionaly does not make a mistake.

 

[Romali_rotti]

You remember the legend:kami?

Errrr Parthiv was dropping catches at international level years before Kakmal came to the scene...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bhajji continues with his defensive bowling

Edit; As I type this he bowls a flighted good ball

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Karthick is a better keeper than Parthiv ( as he came from Tn, JUST KIDDING). I don't compare Parthiv and Saha. For me they are equal.

 

[jheenga]

we need wickets .... 2 more before score is 100.

 

[BaaliSoda]

56 for 2 after 17 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need the wickets of Sarwan and Samuels before the score reaches 100

 

[BaaliSoda]

Superb Googly from Mishraji, but lucky escape for Kirk Edwards

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Gary Kirsten named South Africa coach.. BEST OF LUCK, GARY

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mishraji nearly took the wicket of Edwards again in the same over

59 for 2 after 18 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Edwards struggles comes to an end at last

Bhajji strikes

59 for 3 in the 19th over

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Do you know Peter Nero? The umpire who doesn't know the rules of cricket.

 

[thecricket]

 

[jheenga]

out

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bhajji is doing good so far (not entering into his usual half tracker darts)

 

[nish_mate]

Mishra should have had that wicket in the last over....

Lazy Singh...

 

[jheenga]

oops .. i thought he was gonna be r/o .

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mishraji is definitely the pick of the bowlers so far, bamboozling WI batters with orthodox leg spinners as well as googlies

64 for 3 after 20 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

66 for 3 after 21 overs

Needs the wicket of Sarwan and Samuels pretty quickly

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mishraji continues to impress with his accuracy n variation, WI batters have got no clue

73 for 3 after 24 overs

 

[cric_fan82]

very good bowling by mishra here...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Misharji's form rubbing into Bhajji as well. He too is bowling pretty good line n length today (not many bad balls from him so far)

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yusuf is about to bowl now

 

[Statsman]

Misharji's form rubbing into Bhajji as well. He too is bowling pretty good line n length today (not many bad balls from him so far)

dude, halt the hatred for once

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yusuf is doing what Bhajji usually does in most of the matches that is to bowl short n leg side.

4 for Samuels

 

[Statsman]

Avid, you are becoming the next zaid65 , praising Mishra when Bhajji is bowling well....attacking Bhajji when Pathan is bowling bad...

I hope there aren't any ulterior motives :CSK

 

[BaaliSoda]

dude, halt the hatred for once

Stats, Its not just the hatred that I am having against Bhajji's selection but its an honest frustration of seeing how incompetent our team management is when it comes to selecting a team based on peripheral things like being senior or close to captain instead of Performance n form.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Avid, you are becoming the next zaid65 , praising Mishra when Bhajji is bowling well....attacking Bhajji when Pathan is bowling bad...

I hope there aren't any ulterior motives :CSK

God! You are awesome

Even I never thought of this connection

 

[Statsman]

You can start a separate thread for that

 

[BaaliSoda]

You can start a separate thread for that

Game is meandering along the line

93 for 3 after 28 overs

We need the wicket of at least Sarwan (if not samuels as well) before the score reaches100 runs

 

[jheenga]

240 could be tough.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli is doing a Mishra there by bowling leg spin

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli starts with a Maiden as well

99 for 3 after 30 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

100 up for WI in 31st over

 

[velu]

dude, halt the hatred for once

Even i love to hate Bhajji ( full time ) and Kohli ( part time )

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli's bowling action resembles much like Chris Harris of New Zealand

 

[BaaliSoda]

No Ball from Kohli

Free Hit coming up

 

[BaaliSoda]

Massive 6 from the bat of Samuels off the Free hit ball

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another boundary for WI this time its 4 from the bat off Sarwan

Raina bowling

 

[BaaliSoda]

I missed to notice that yet another chance behind the stumps was missed out by my favt Butter Gloves in that over of Raina

 

[Statsman]

There are far bigger things to hate right now than a guy with 1/11 in 6 overs...for eg. Parthiv's keeping

 

[Statsman]

:kami dont worry your brother Parthiv Akmal is here....

 

[BaaliSoda]

Parthiv's gifts to the opposition so far

3 relatively easy stumping opportunities going to the dogs and few 4's (as wides and edges through him)

 

[BaaliSoda]

PK going for runs here

4 from the bat of Samuels

123 for 3 after 34 overs

 

[Statsman]

WI getting back into the game...bowlers need to wake up

 

[BaaliSoda]

The two batters in the middle now have always been thorn in our flesh. I hope we get them out soon before they go berserk in death overs.

 

[BaaliSoda]

125 for 3 after 35 overs

In the remaining 15 overs, 13 overs from regular bowlers are available

 

[BaaliSoda]

That looked plumb!

But Umpire Ian Gould says not out (hawk eye shows otherwise)

 

[Statsman]

That could have been ....UDRS BCCI UDRS!!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another close call for LBW but umpire Peter nero turns it down.

Again Hawk Eye shows it would clipped leg stump comfortably

 

[Statsman]

another stupid decision

 

[BaaliSoda]

130 for 3 after 37 overs

Water break

 

[saajidrox]

What score will be chase able in this wicket?

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I need to get atleast 250 here. They are way below Par score here at moment!

 

[Sherlock]

India are ruing the decision against the UDRS. You gotta expect poor decisions from umpire that are not so good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What score will be chase able in this wicket?

India will chases down anything 250 or below with ease.

 

[BaaliSoda]

What score will be chase able in this wicket?

I feel anything under 200 will be ok. Our batsmen are relatively very new to international set up so I wouldn't want them to chase more than 200 on this slow sluggish pitch.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Batting powerplay has been taken

38th to 42nd Over

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sarwan brings up his 50 with a delicate cut into the slip cordon for 4

 

[BaaliSoda]

Back to back 4s for Sarwan

Munna is bowling rubbish here now

 

[Statsman]

Munna getting a phainty

 

[BaaliSoda]

At last Parthiv does something right

Sarwan is gone

Very good catch by PP

 

[Statsman]

although a RUBBISH delivery

 

[BaaliSoda]

141 for after 38 overs

11 runs form 1st PP over

 

[BaaliSoda]

Poor backing up by Yusuf costs 4 over throws

 

[Statsman]

Bhajji's bowling figures spoilt by over throws
his figures will become another reasons for people to hate him now

 

[BaaliSoda]

9 runs off the 2nd PP over

150 for 4 after 39 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Munna gets a smashing shot on his foot I guess

 

[BaaliSoda]

So far 20 runs form the 2 PP overs

3 more overs to go

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good fielding by PK at the cover saves at least 3 runs

 

[Statsman]

good fielding by PK
