*Official* India in Bangladesh

what the difference between runs,test runs

ODI runs in Australia I suppose.

 

[Howsie]

Hey have a look at how he plays and his ODI record.

Averages 31.50 in Africa - not so good but only 2 innings
19 in Americas - crap but only 3 innings
35.35 in Asia - average 65 innings
47.16 in Europe - awesome 8 innings
50.27 (55 in Aus, 37 in NZ) - stellar 14 innings

The guy plays pace very well and I think would do great in European and Oceanic conditions. Maybe not South Africa though

Oh, I'm not trying to take anything away from Gambhir. It's just in his 24 test matches he hasn't really been tested in "foreign" conditions. Until he goes off and scores runs like he does in Australia, England or South Africa I have a hard time rating him as a big time test player I spose.

That's a typo.

Rahul Dravid

Seriously though, you learn to keep the bat along the ground and going through the crease as a 7 year old.

Yeah certainly shouldn't be hailed as being as good as his average would suggest but definitely one of the best in the world at the moment.

Smith, Sehwag and to a lesser extent Strauss, Dilshan, Gayle, Watto and Katich being the only other top of the line openers.

Terrific fielding By Shakib

 

[R_D]

Finally an Indian batsman pays for not grounding his bat..... Dravid is the last person i expected this from though.

 

[Athlai]

Shakib pulling a Vettori in the good way again.

if i remember correctly he has done the same thing before also

 

[Ikki]

Safe? Heh. Still sweating like a slave regarding the weather.

Isn't the 5th day supposed to be like awesome? India already have plenty of runs and will get at least a day to bowl them out.

 

[Athlai]

Oddly enough Bangladesh have had a good 4th innings record in the last year or two according to cricinfo. Averaging 104 overs, better than WI, NZ and Pakistan.

 

[Ikki]

****, just checked BBC, the visibility has gone from good to very poor for Thursday. Come on boys, quick runs, declare and bowl them out.

Bet365 offering some amusing odds at the moment:

India 1.36
India or Bangladesh 1.36

Draw 3.00
Draw or Bangladesh 3.00

Bangladesh 41.00

Absolutely no incentive at all to bet on India or Draw without just lumping Bangladesh in with it.

hehe worst call

good to see Bangladesh at least showing *some* fight at this stage

 

[thierry henry]

ftr I also posted "ffs Bangladesh" on my facebook at the EXACT same moment that Mishra got out.

So ummmm...Rubel sucks, there's no way he's going to take the remaining 5 wickets for 0 bowling like this

 

[R_D]

Yuvraj to get a 50 here for sure.
