ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

Gavaskar said he spoke to the CAB president Saurav Ganguly (CAB is the 'Cricket Association of Bengal' where the Eden Gardens resides), who expressed surprise that the pitch turned out this way. So it definitely seems that the pitch turning out this way is just unfortunate.

But still, there is a game on here. Pakistan have given themselves a total to bowl to and Afridi/Malik are not average by any means. And they bowl against India, who in the last game displayed alarming weakness against spin for a team whose history is enriched with players who treat spin bowling as if they are batting against a football. At the moment, its 51-49 in favor of India, but that's not a good thing for them. They need to bat far superior to the way they played in Nagpur against NZ.

This is a really good total by Pak. I thought India were doing well but Akmal and Malik took those crucial runs from us. Again the batsmen need to apply themselves and not go for glory shots. Same sort of conditions as were against NZ. The batsmen could have chased those too if they applied themselves. Hopefully we don't see a repeat here.

They can't treat any bowler lightly. They have to play solely according to the merit of the ball and take calculated risks to keep themselves on track. This is surely sounding to be a challenging chase for me.

A Real disappointment for me as a Cricket fan, BCCI shouldn't have prepared tweaks of Spin on this pitch. If again any match in this tournament goes like this, I wear I won't watch any of this tournament's match.

sing this is going to be tough

 

[Saroj padhy]

Worst captaincy ever.
2 match. Both on spinning track. Yuvi didn't got a single over.
Hardik Pandya bowled 2 over and given 25 run.
Last match he bowled 1 over and given 10 run.
And one of the worst thing is Ashwin bowled only 3 over.

 

[Perfect Square]

Mark my words, I think on this pitch, where Pakistan have only two spinners, India will chase this target with the loss of 2-3 wicket and with 6-7 balls spare.

I have been a BCCI supporter as far as pitches go for Test Matches, but I agree 100% with you, with these pitches BCCI have just lost charm of the World T20.

How did a world-class batsman like Rohit manage to get out to a normal bowler?

 

[Perfect Square]

If India want to win this, S Dhawan and V Kohli have to bat atleast for 5-6 overs, and is middling the bowl very well now...

 

[Targaryen]

Is Dhawan playing a T20 Match or a Test match. 6 balls 1 run. I hate that man named Shikhar Dhawan. Completely blind, just wasting the ball and building pressure. Atleast trying to score singles, doubles and often boundary will do.

 

[CerealKiller]

I was about to write a rant on Sami....

 

[Targaryen]

"Pressure builder" gone.

 

[Perfect Square]

Extra Pace of M Sami worked for Pakistan. But I still think as long as V Kohli is in there, it is a 50/50 match.

 

[Saroj padhy]

What a great batsman he is.
Awesome batting.
He deserve Bharat Ratna Award.
