Its a flat wicket. Watched the first session completely. Even in the first session where we expected the ball to move quite a bit, there was almost no movement whatsoever. Both Ishant and Aaron bowled with lot of effort, but with the pitch like this, its hard to extract much. And Aaron was a debutant. I expect him to do better as the game progresses (just like how Umesh Yadav started off ordinarily and progressed really well as the series came by). Good stuff from Ashwin as usual. He has more than filled Harbhajan's place and I would seriously pissed off if I see Harbhajan back for Australia (because that would mean Harbhajan gets an automatic entry in the XI in place of either Ashwin or Ojha which would be criminal).

India need to get them out quickly within 400 and then should set their sights on batting for a huge marathon (600+ again).

India look like racking up a thousand here, if they get a chance to bat that is.

they have gone past 400+ runs with only 3 wicket lost.. Ashwin current average is 29 and i will be very interesting to see what he averages after this series.

I am really pissed on the Mumbai curator, he has just ruined the fun of playing on home advantage. Look at England they made sure they would prepare the greenest pitch when it comes for India to play, so green that pitch and grass would not be differentiated and they won 4-0. We needed a 3-0 which is still very much possible but this pitch looks dead flat and I am seriously pissed at him

well they have created this pitch for Sachin. They want sachin 100th hundred in this ground. Sanjay Manjrekar also mention that this is the flattest wicket he has seen at Wankhede.

if Tendulkar scores hundred here, Pitch curator will feel proud of himself. They don't care whether india wins or not but tendulkar should get Best chance to score a hundred.

I Hope sachin doesn't score his 100th hundred here as this pitch doesn't deserve that Landmark.

@Saisrini - Whether it is Kolkata People or Mumbai or Chennai all are same.

Yeah it'd be a pretty hollow century of centuries on this joke of a pitch.

----------

He might rack up a hundred with the ball if he keeps going though

If WI can post 267/2 then i wonder will india lose any wicket at this pitch?

Will India get to bat?

After 12 tests:

Brian Lara:
Inns: 20
Runs: 941
AVG: 47.05

Darren Bravo:
Inns: 22
Runs: 941
AVG: 47.05

Bravo is on 154. If he gets out on 167, their record will still be the same!

IDC, I want him to score against Australia and pretty sure he will if not here.

You can bookmark this.

It's easy to say such statements. If the prediction turns out to be correct, you flaunt it off and if it doesn't, then you just remain silent!

513/4 and they've not even got Chanderpaul.

You can always quote that post if I went wrong. It's not like I will be shamed if I am wrong.

 

[Sedition]

I don't think I've seen someone more disappointed having scored 166. I guess beating a random Lara record is more meaningful.

Idiot

1st Test: England 1st Inns - 474/8 dec
2nd Test: England 2nd Inns - 544 a/o
3rd Test: England - 710/7 dec
4th Test: England - 591/6 dec

Yeah, was an absolute nightmare to bat on. Nice to see you would much rather blame the pitch then accept how horrificly poor, you guys played

 

[AngryPixel]

Damn Dhoni. Should have caught that one. It was a regulation catch for a international Keeper. Aaron then would have a nice shot at 5 for on debut. He still can get it.

 

[Sedition]

Dhoni's already got his 5-fer in catches, he's not greedy.

 

[AngryPixel]

Well he's not greedy but selfish Could've helped Aaron for a 5 for

 

[barmyarmy]

6/100 isn't great. The pitch is clearly a total road.
