What happened?

man frankly tell me which pakistani batsman would have walked when the umpire had emphatically turned down the appeal...though i liked the way the fielders responded to the denial...and i suppose Kaif made the philosophy of Indian team abt walking amply clear when he said that "I won't walk, the umpire's got a job to do."shahid6995 said:
though this slow progress is frustrating me...by now the score should have been 100 more than what it is...
EDIT: More frustration here...even Gods can falter..."haath ko aaya, munh na laga" - may be the Kolkata crowd are destined for it...

It has taken Inzi 40 overs to finally take the new ball. What was he thinking? It's not like they were doing well with the old one.
And what do you know. As soon as he takes the new ball he gets Tendulkar.

Inzi had it all planned out and paid well in the end.jdbais said:
Sachin out six short of a record 35th Test century. 
1st Test Stumps Day 3
Pakistan 1st Inning 312 (Inzi 57, Asim 91) (Balaji 5/46)
India 1st Inning 447/6 (Sehwag 173, Tendulkar 94, Dravid 50)
India lead by 135 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Sachin Tendulkar was out six short of a record 35th Test century.
NNOOOO!!! Tendulkar out for 94! India 6 wickets down at close.....
He inside edged the ball onto his pad and was caught off Kaneria for 4, the Umpire gave him not out. Tendulkar must have known he was out....Inzamam ran in all the way from short extra cover to celebrate!jdbais said:

By that standard, Azharuddin should never have been kicked out of the game.m_vaughan said:
And Maradona should have stayed in the game in that World cup some years back.... I dont remember which one but he was ejected after a red card...
The referee shouldnt have stopped the Tyson-Holyfield fight just coz Tyson bit his ear off... (EDIT) and also should never have been banned for a while and sent to jail for "only" raping a woman.... boxing suffered so much because of that didnt it? (EDIT)

In my opinion today was a day of what-could-have-been for India. Sachin could have broken a record and India could have won the match. Not that they still can't, but such an opportunity may not come again in the near future. All India needed to do was maintain a normal test match run rate (over 3 an over)... that is normal for one of the proper-cricketing nations in the world. Normal for a team filled with 6 top-order stroke makers. Normal for a country with a history of high-scoring batsmen.
What did they do? Score 130 runs in just about 60 overs. What did they achieve? Spectator frustration. What did they lose? A chance to press home their advantage. With all due respect to Pakistan (and their bouncer strategy--great stuff), what were India thinking? Aaarghh.. I cannot write all this again. Check out hummercricket for more of my opinion. :P And some easy advertising too, eh?

Today was a mixed day for India. Why is the middle order always scratchy for us nowadays?? Sehwag, Gambhir and Dravid are alright but Sachin and Ganguly have slowed down considerably in the past few seasons. This is affecting our game for sure. Now bowlers can be more confident of picking Sachin's wicket. I always feel Sachin should not throw his natural attacking game away. I am waiting for him to realise it soon and act accordingly. Agreed, he played some attacking strokes today in the first session but 94 off 202 balls is awful for a player like him!!
I really hope India win this match. I have bet 30 rep points on an Indian win!!! India should ideally get to the 200 lead tomorrow in the first session and take the risk of declaring and see what happens from then on! We might miss Harbhajan tomorrow. The wicket looks to be wearing up! I seriously doubt if the pacemen would get the same purchase as they got on Day 1! Anyways, lets hope for the best!

no need to get touchy... but i guess we cant expect an unbiased opinion about tendulkar from someone called sachinisgod....sachinisgod said:
by the way, if a batsman is walking, he doesnt WAIT for the umpire to first "emphatically" turn down the appeal... if he walks, he walks without waiting for the umpire... and I never said Pakistanis walk either, I just said "We now know how Tendulkar feels about it". Its just an observation about one aspect of his game, not an indictment of his whole career. Get a grip.

I read your blog too, at least most of it... i think you are being silly and unnecessarily harsh on the indians... hey its just the end of the third day of a five day test.... maybe you are spoiled by australia but there used to be a time when test matches lasted well into the fifth day, and some even were equal after the fifth day! imagine that! it was called a "draw", if you must know...sohummisra said:
anyways. india is 135 ahead with 4 wickets in hand and two full days of cricket to go.. unless there is rain coming, i would say india is in a great position, and i would say losing their heads and trying to keep up the scoring rate may have been the bad decision. they are playing a test match, not a ODI, and if you cant take the sessions where the scoring rate dips then you should stick to watching 20/20 cricket. i thought it was quite absorbing, and give some more credit to pakistan's limited bowling too. they did the best strategy they could with their "attack".

For your information shahid, rain is looming large on the 4th day of this test match.. thats why we are talking all this. or else, this lead of 135 by the end of the 3rd day is very good. we know that but since rain is forecast for the next few days in Mohali, people do not want India to lose this opportunity!
