[Hurricane]

His concentration let him down in the end. The previous ball he pushed away outside off stump and ran it towards point. He hadn't been playing any of those this morning.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Best bat replaced by the 2nd best bat. Need him quick.

 

[Hurricane]

Wait was the field back on the fence for Jadeja? If so why?

 

[fredfertang]

Kumar surely due a change of luck?

 

[GIMH]

How many chases have we failed at in that time?

No idea but back when we were good and winning all the time we never needed to chase anything down, I always suspected at that point that it would be the way we were most likely to lose matches. And of course I refer you to the 2nd test in the UAE

Yes it is spread. This is crap - let him slog a few.

 

[91Jmay]

Stop spreading the field, we are just as likely to get this **** out.

Yeah, but for all intents we chased 230 at 5 RPO against the Aussies at the Oval. I don't think anything over 200 means India are in control.

True, but it was a completely surreal and different situation

anyway I agree that they aren't in control but they are definitely well in the game, 250 and they are favourites IMO

Wait what?? 2008? don't think we were good and winning all the time then were we?

Edit:

Re read your post and I don;t think you were specifically meaning 2008.

 

[91Jmay]

That looked dead to me live.

 

[91Jmay]

Ah saved by the nick!

Yeah so that was the last time we chased such a target but in 10-11 I cannot recall a single 4th innings chase for victory

alas, a lot of our matches back then didn't require a 4th innings
