Yep Manoj Tiwary bowled very well today & i hope he get a 5ver in his last over

Too many runs for the 9th wkt .....so,its 252....Now its upto Rohit Sharma & co. to chase this down and wrap up the series here itself.....

Manoj Tiwary misses a 5for but what a day in the office already for the young man. Rohit playing again shows the confidence (overconfidence?) the skipper has on his much talked about talented batsman. If Manoj clicks here with the bat and Rohit doesn't, the latter will be under such immense pressure that he wouldn't come out of loo for an hour.

I think Manoj Tiwary has made the team for the next match, if he clicks with the bat. Already proving to be a great bowler

^*cough* *cough* he is an IPL player

Manoj Tiwary isn't a great bowler. He is just a part timer but a bit better than the likes of Sehwag and Virat so one should expect him to deliver everytime with the ball. He has a sound batting technique and is one of the most run scorers for his domestic side, Bengal especially in the FC format in which he has scored at an average of 58.58.

So what? He has not performed well in T20s. He has been selected on the basis of his heroics in FC format. Just check his record.

Manoj Tiwary did start Cricket as a bowler though..

And if I'm not wrong Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble started as batsmen but ended up being the two of the highest wicket takers for India in ODIs. So, you never know whats there in store.

Last match centurion gone in the first over. Big set back.

 

[Shreevatsa]

IND 40/1 in 7 overs

 

[Fenil]

I'd like to see Tiwary at #4. He is not a big hitter of the ball, tucks the ball into the gaps and picks up odd boundaries so it will be an ideal position for him to bat.

 

[SaiSrini]

Tiwary with 4 wkts? What am I hearing? Anyways, good that the move by Dhoni to replace Rahul with Tiwary worked. Now time for Tiwary to show his batting class and shut Rohit out altogether.

Edit: And I predicted it right!! ROHITTTTTTT FAILLLLLSSSSSS AGAINNNNNNNNNN!!!!! Useless fellow really......

 

[Sahil 7]

rohit wow again you beauty this felow should be quicked out or he should have batted at low down the order at no 8

 

[Ahmad94]

That should be enough to get Rohit out of the team

 

[Fenil]

I wonder why Dhoni doesn't promote himself when the things are tough? It has been a while since he played a good innings so today was a good chance for him to play one good innings in a blue moon like he does every time when tongues start wagging against his form.
