Jaffers pair was in the last test match.

Good fight from Banglas on comparison with the 1st inngs....

Wonderful knock from Mohammad Ashraful. Looking pretty woeful here for Bangladesh though.

 

[Raghav]

It will be RP Singh to start proceedings after tea

Two slips and a gully in place

Bangladesh really seem to have shut up shop.

Last 10 ovs 9/0 RR 0.90

This will be a good test for India because the way Bangladesh are batting, they won't give away any wickets and India will have to earn them.

After that outburst from Mohammad Ashraful, they were probably just trying to even things out.

BCCI killing Indian cricket Poll

Zaheer MOTM for mine with Dravid behind him I guess, although without actually watching it, it's hard to distinguish between the various centurions who all have similar scores.

BCCI killing Indian cricket Poll

I know this is off topic somewhat, but my personal opinion is that yes the BCCI have over cramped the indian schedule but that India should look to introduce a squad rotation system, especially for the bowlers since they have many of about the same quality.

-Sreesanth
-Z Khan
-VRV Singh
-RP Singh
-Sharma (should not play just yet)
-Munaf Patel
-Pathan*
-H Singh*
-Chawla
-Power
-Pawar
-Kumble

*In the event, they regain form.

In this aspect, India have many different styles of bowlers and can really introduce a strategy as to who they play and why depending on the conditions overhead and on the pitch.

LOL @ Kumble, he just laid into Karthik. Although, it was a real poor attempt by Dinesh.

 

[honestbharani]

what happened?

 

[Perm]

Kumble not happy about that drop. Mortaza playing fairly well here.

 

[TT Boy]

what happened?

Karthik missed a catch whilst fielding at silly, Kumble then went through his follow through with a face like thunder whilst giving Karthik a few words of constructive criticism, all the lines of you “****ing idiot”.

 

[TT Boy]

Kumble not happy about that drop. Mortaza playing fairly well here.

He can hold a bat that's for sure. Mortaza, could turn himself into a genuine all-rounder for his got all the shots and he looks fairly good against both pace and spin.

Indeed, just a pity his Test performances haven't really reflected his ability with the bat.

 

[TT Boy]

That drop from Karthik was his 4th for the match.

Yes, but he is not a bad catcher, he is just having a shocker in the field, everyone has them.

 

[TT Boy]

Tendulkar is getting a decent amount of turn.
