Thats been the story of the whole game. And you havent made any light work of it so far ;) Carna Tiges PS I really hope the weather doesnt wreck the last day

Imagine Tendulkar, but 90% of the time he gets out for next to nothing. The other 10%, oh my ... poetry in motion, beauty and power and concentration. Where I'm from, over at Banglacricket.com, we call him Eid, because Eid happens once a year. Eid happened when we scored 400 batting...

There's been some good bowling in this game, and some good batting, and some very very crap fielding. And by both sides.

No.*You* need 10 wickets. *We* need 415 runs ;) IanW added 5 Minutes and 4 Seconds later... And theres one of your ten..

Thats what happens when you bat till your lead is over 400.

Jkartik, The pitch is also doing nothing, although the fog and so on may juice it up tomorrow morning.

Declaration at last. 415 to get, 10 wickets to get in roughly 4 sessions minus fog and bad light. Carn the Tigers IanW added 0 Minutes and -4 Seconds later... Declaration at last. 415 to get, 10 wickets to get in roughly 4 sessions minus fog and bad light. Carn the Tigers

Because he thinks he needs more than 400 in the bank to be sure of beating the Tigers ? Smell that ? Thats respect. It might backfire too, if the fog and so on are bad tomorrow Carna Tiges

This pitch has played better as the match has gone on. Nothing is keeping low, nothing is turning.

Dunno. Maybe he's thinking Shahadat might get a wicket ? PS I admit it, I past-posted that one ;)

It's been a good test match. And I hope it will continue to be a good test match :) Carna Tiges !

I'd like to congratulate the curator for the great job he's done on the pitch. There's been bounce for the quicks, turn for the spinners, and if you bat well, there's runs in the pitch. Ian Whitchurch

Well, we're on again. 3-65 IanW added 13 Minutes and 39 Seconds later... No. Bloody. Feet.

This is because, after all, India failed in the first innings.

Let me get this straight - you are saying India are flat-track bullies who can bat well on a pitch that offers nothing to the bowlers ? Geez, talk about damning with faint praise. Ian Whitchurch

Sohum, As far as the Indian first innings goes, I thought the bowling was as good as it realistically gets, but I'm not happy with the fielding - dropping Sachin twice was the difference between India getting what they got and getting them for less than 200. My respect for a team also depends...

LOL. Like it :)

*shows AngryPixel my passport, with a big chicken and this funny looking hoppy thing on it* I just barrack for my Tiges ;)

Sohum, What makes good u-19 players into good test players is lots and lots of first class cricket. Note how there's none of that on this tour, and that it might *possibly* have been useful to have a first-class game or two to get used to games than run more than 50 overs. As well as...

You mistake me - it's not that I cant take it. It's just that I give it back, which riles up some of the poor dears that barrack for the Indian cricket team. Yup. I've been following Sharapova for a while. That was his best bowling ever, and he was really, really upset - genuinely fired up...
