This is amazing Parthiv is on 50 .. <!--emo&:ind--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/india.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='india.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Both Kaif and Parthiv have half centuries.. Come on guys atleast a 100 more. What I cant understand is if Parthiv can play whats wrong with the other guys ?? Or has the wkt eased up ? I thought there was uneven bounce and this were turning and everything ?? Whats going on ?
I still think we were 50 runs short in the 1st innings. We should try and limit the 4th innings target to 100. Chasing more then that might be a problem. Dont take the new ball - just keep chugging with the soft one with lots of ghasdoo balls..
Mwaahahhaaaa
If you look at our team performance graph then either it is the bestest or worsest; nothing in between.
Nevertheless, a good win.
Aussies crying foul about bad pitch. 18 Wickets fell in two days , but remember 600 runs were also scored in 2 days. When the convicts prepare pitch in perth to suit them, it is ok, while a spinning track is bad.
Nagpur track should have been like Mumbai. But VCA derailed India to pay back the Dalmia faction by preparing a pitch to favour the Aussies. BTW,. there is no excuse for pathetic batting
Here's my ironclad scheme for Indian team to win tests and 1-day matches against Australia.
1. In 1-day matches, send team with 10 batsmen + 1 wicketkeeper (looks like its hopeless to find wicketkeeper-batsman anyway).
The misery is over in 50 overs anyway, and the batsmen bowling donkey traps is about as good as the usual Indian bowling.
2. In tests, go with 10 bowlers + 1 wicketkeeper. The Test batting is clearly better left to the tailenders - and given the way Australia bats on hard pitches ( I mean the concrete-convict ones like in Perth) we will need ten bowlers.
And I hope they get a course on cuss-words in all languages - esp. about convicts' mommas - to exchange pleasantries with the suave Down Undies gentlemen like Dam-n Martyn and Glenn McGrath.
South Africa's going strong. Post lunch, on Day 2: 324-5 (128.2).
We are in a good position - we need a lead of atleast 250 in 1st innings - better if we dont have to bat in the second innings. Afrikans are on the defensive - lets get them.. <!--emo&:devil--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devilsmiley.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='devilsmiley.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Even though Sehwag's in the market......people still scared of Sachin.
Pachas pachas kos door tak jab koi bachcha rota hain.......to maa kehti hain, beta soja....soja warna Sachin tere ko Akhtar/Warne ki tarah dho dega!!
BTW I think we wavered a little bit today. Lets hope the tail wags and we can get 200 run lead..
