India in Pakistan

[Bilal91]

Lets see what happens mate... looks like India plan to bat the whole 5th day as well and try to break a couple of records on the way...

Sehwag playing some beautiful late cut shots. great to watch!!

Oh Dam its the stupid light again. Pakistan would be so happy to leave the field. A little bit of re-grouping will help them.

Just shows how good the pitch is for batting.

OffTopic,thats a good one.

Ah Man. I wanted to see Shewag 250 just three run short. Anyway what a superb batting by Shewag and Dravid. Excellent. I'm loving it.

 

[Wicket Keeper]

Virender Sehwag need to beat his own record 309 runs in this test match, 400 runs to reach Brian Lara's record. Help India reach 680 runs to go over Pakistan in the 1st Innings. :boxing

Or they might just be celebrating a decade since Cricket 96 was released by getting the kind of scores you would get on Cricket 96.

I know Dravid can bat forever, but Sehwag? Seriously, Pakistan need someone who can bowl accurately and tie him down. On this pitch, being bogged down would frustrate any batsman. McGrath could do it with his eyes shut.

Wow. Thats a run glutton! Now its proved that this pitch is a batting beauty where even I can go and get a hundred for myself! Inzy and Salman Butt missed out big time on this wicket!

This is a great form booster for Sehwag for the next tests (if the wicket there improves!). Since the next test might also be affected by rain, the series might hinge on the Karachi match!

India have been scoring consistently over the 5 run mark throughout the innings! What batsmanship!!!!

What a waste of a test match. The people who prepared this pitch should be fired. This is what leads people to say that test cricket is boring. Earlier I had complained that people were not showing up at the stadium now I don't blame them.

Pak don't look like taking a wicket and barring a sudden rush in Afridi's passion for gardenning the pitch conditions are not going to change at all for the last day.

1100 runs for 7 wickets absolutly boring... I mean you can only whatch so many boundries before you get tired of them. My sympaties for all the bowlers.

 

[Indiangod]

Come On India!..........typical Indians, whatever Pakistan has done India can do it better, and what was Sehwag onabout saying he will get 300?.....I think its becoming true now.........and wow what a partnership!.....I want Sehwag to get 400 or even better 500, and Dravid 200, I want India to get above 750 runs tommorow with the loss of 1 wicket..........that will do a lot of confidence to our batsmen..............and I wonder what the good Pakistani bowlers might be feeling like.

 

[sid_19840]

The opener's just need to put another 11 runs to make the highest 1st wkt partnership ever.

 

[Stephen Bailey]

and I wonder what the good Pakistani bowlers might be feeling like.

Probably the same as the Indian bowlers were when they were getting smashed to all parts by Younis and Yousuf then later by Afridi and Akmal.

 

[wardog]

If India top 600 it will be the first time 2 teams have scored 600 in the first innings of the same match.

403/0 on Stumps day 4. 247 of a measly 240 balls by Sehwag, Dravid a solid 128. What a day . Did anyone see the stare down between Akhtar and Dravid? Amazing. And Kaneria- 10/0/69/0!!!. What a match! If the weather is good tommorow, Viru good break Lara's record(And I bet Lara would be crying himself silly. He broke it twice already, what does he have to do to keep it untli he retires?).
Even I could get a hundred, and I suck at batting! interesting pitch, but don't blaim the groundsmen. Inzy or Woolmer might have wanted this pitch, or maybe weather interfered. 10 more runs and this is the highest opening partnership ever. And Dravid has his first century as skipper and as opener. Odd ay? Well, he seemed relaxed. Burst into laughter four or five times in an after day interview with Dean Jones. Seemed more pleased than I ever saw him.
But what a knock by Viru. Awesome! Infact, it makes it look like we fielded and bowled brilliantly!. i mean, 679 looks like nothing now.

On an other note, all those who want Agarkar dropped - he has the best bowling figures in this entire match - better than Akhtar, kumble, Bhajji, Kaneria and Naved ul Hasan. Eat that!
