India in Zimbabwe

[ZoraxDoom]

Phew. Now wee need a 150+ off 160+ by him Then we need him to play like he has nothing to lose in ODIs...

 

[Indiangod]

In the next test personally for Ganguly's sake he needs a good aggreasive hundred and that will do.

7-59 from Pathan.

Got a bet on India, obviously not Zimbabwe.

That was a terrific spell from Pathan! Wonder what Zimbabwean coach Kevin Curran has to say on his spell today? Will he again say Pathan didnt deserve those wickets and that his batsmen gifted their wickets? Wake up and accept the fact that Pathan is a deadly and unplayable bowler when he gets even a hint of some swing from the conditions!

As I say this, good start by the Indian openers. 13/0 from 3.2 overs! India should bat carefully than how they batted in Bulawayo! Here, the wicket would seam and swing and would be difficult for strokeplayers like Sehwag, Gambhir, Laxman, Yuvraj Singh and Ganguly! Dravid would negate it with his tight technique. But the batsmen shouldnt get over defensive here! Finish this test match in three days and earn a well deserved two day rest!

Umm... It's freakin' Zimbabwe.

Umm... It's freakin' Zimbabwe.

Exactly..... Zimbabwe could probably make Ricky Ponting look like a lethal bowler.

Wow! Sehwag and Gambhir carnaging the Zimbabweans! Enjoying the batting exploits now! Very rare to see such a ODI run rate of 6.7 per over in a test match!

 

[Sureshot]

Wahey i think most if not all of the 8 teams above them could sustain a rate off over 6 an over in a test vs a country in Genocide and serious trouble.

Hey, its just entertainment man! Did I say that its great batsmanship by India? Whenever I enjoy through this thread, you seem to downplay it by saying "Genocide" and all those bulls**t!!!!!

I follow the scores on Cricinfo and I find it entertaining thats all! Its rare to see India batting the way they are these days! Just making hay while the sun shines. I dont think we might get to see him bat this way against Pakistan or Sri Lanka!

Great bowling by Pathan. 7-59. India should win this match within two days if try their best. Or otherwhile just bat till all batsmen are out. It would be a good batting practice for the rest of the players. Gambhir could overcome his highest score of 139 in this match.

 

[Dhoni]

Excellent bowling by Irfan Pathan. He should be the man of the series and good entertaining innings by sehwag and Gambhir.

Batting practice? I think now we should try and finish teams off early! We had good batting practice in the Bulawayo test. Anyways, we should score as quickly as we did today and score another 150-200 by tea and put Zimbabwe in! Who knows? We might see Zimbabwe collapse in a single session (of course, barring any serious miracles)!

For me India have already won the match. Weather can't interrupt the game, so unless they are in a hurry, it would be good for the tail to get some practice.

I want to see what Pathan can do if he bats a little higher in the order. He has great potential now with the bat too.

Actually it's not bullshit Zimbabwe are in Genocide according to the UN Laws on Genocide.

I'm downplaying it because Zimbabwe are a shocking cricket team and would struggle against Scotland.

India winning is not a matter now! We want to see how comprehensive the victory is! India should win by a huge margin!
