Yup... Dish TV is owned by Mr. Subhash Chandra who owns Zee Network... So, I get all the channels of Zee... I heard that Dish TV will have neo soon... but when?
I know Tata Sky has got Neo channels...
Indian openers are more confident than middle order...
Y'day Bangladesh beat Kiwis by 7 wickets
Yeah... Kiwis play better when they are pitted against better teams.... Anyways I'm very glad for Bangladesh... It will give them some confidence...
India end day 2 on 68-0
Sehwag 43 ; Gambir 20
Indian openers have done well in the past few matches,but its the middle order which dint perform upto expectation...
Hope the middle order will do well this weekend....
if the middle order dont do good, lets pray tp the rain gods
130-3 at tea ; day 5
India require another 169 runs from maximum 35~40 overs.
Its not impossible....But the Indian middle order need to be in positive frame of mind....
Anything can happen in the final session.
Fingers crossed......
As expected... it ended in a draw... Ind. 177-4...
Indians could have tried to chase down the score....
It was a fifth day wicket..so it was not that easy to chase 299... and losing early wickets didn't help the cause either... Moreover, the moment India could have been in positon to charge for target... Aussies would have set defensive field with negative bowling... So it was good that India played for a draw... And finally achieved it in the end... Credit goes to tendulkar & laxman for sharing that important partnership... Its a Test cricket... All about class & Temprament... Sometimes a draw can be as sweet as a win & as bitter as a loss...

nyways lets hope they do well in the next game.
2nd Test - Day 3: India lead by 301 runs with 10 wickets remaining.
From here India have got a good chance to go 1 up in the series. Should bat for another 1 & half session or 2 session (till tea tomorrow) get a lead above 500. 4 sessions should be enough to bowl out the Aussies...We have got 4 quality bowlers....

Anything over 400 will be very difficult to chase on 4th & 5th day... it has happened only thrice in test cricket... and certainly not on Indian pitches... I think Dhoni should declare when the lead is anywhere around 420-450.. and give bowlers as much time as possible... so that aussies have minimum chance to play for draw... & if they chase that total... then they deserve to win...
Yeah even I think the same...Either it will be a draw or India will win...Originally Posted by itsmemad
But see what Shane Watson as to say
I think Watson is being too much over confident...Well many strange things have happened in cricket...."I think we can win it,". "If we're set 430 or something in four or five sessions, I've got no doubt, if we bat well, we can chase down anything. The wicket is still playing well. There's a bit of turn and the ball will go reverse. If we bat extremely well, I really believe we can chase down anything." - Shane Watson
lol... Watson has every right to be optimistic... Aussies can't chase against 2 spinners... they know that too... Bhajji always comes good in 2nd innings... Watson is saying that so that Indian declaration can be delayed... hence more chance of a draw for Aussies... If I would be in Dhoni's place I'll declare it as soon as India reach 400... And make Watson eat his words!
In the 2nd innings Ponting dint attack much...He allowed easy singles to be picked.India should play till mid post lunch.All depends on Sehwag & Gambir.
Even the guys coming after can play a aggressive game.The more quickly we score,the more time we get to bowl out the Aussies...
Mishra is having a dream debut...If Kumble becomes fit & available for the next test.Should he picked instead of Mishra or should Mishra be continued ...
Yeah Mishra has done well... and will give few headaches to selectors... but its always nice to have few options rather than only 1... so its a pleasant situation for India...
If Kumble becomes fit & available for the next test.Should he picked instead of Mishra or should Mishra be continued ...
Lets see how Mishra bowls in 2nd innings 1st...
ok so we gotta good lead, all we gotto do is declare soon and let the bowlers finish it in style.
Aussies 4 down for 53.....Hayden,Katich,Ponting & Hussey back in the hut...
Aussies 5 down for 141... they can only lose from here...see I said earlier... that Bhajji will take wkts in 2nd innings... and he just did that by removing top 3 batsmen... Ishant bowled well in tandem... the duo has become nemesis for Aussies...
The one which got rid of Ponting was just awesome...Ponting couldn't believe it.He was looking at the stumps & at the wicket.Good to see a Indian bowler bowl like that.
Great win for India,they completely outplayed the Aussies in all department..
India really played like a team,bowlers performed and the batsman too played their part well.A good win after a long time.Sourav Ganguly & Sachin have again showed that they have a lot of cricket still left in them. Amit Mishra had a wonderful debut picking up 7 wickets.Dhoni did a gr8 job as a captain & as a batsman...He deserved the Man of the Match award...Hope India maintians the same momentum in the next 2 tests.
