Nice rearguard from Dhoni and Pathan.

cricbuzz ball by ball commentary team had this to say
Its not the umpire's fault that the technology is better than the past. Also they travel an extra ordinary amount of time which doesn't make their task easier. Blame the ICC for not implementing technology where its conclusive and the ICC for not appointing at least a few more umpires than they do currently. The ICC panel of umpires has gone down to 7 from 12 when it started off if I am not mistaken.
Make the job more lucrative and make their schedules less hectic.
On a different note, too much of blame is being put on umpires these days. Cricbuzz actually does a creditable thing by explaining Taufel having little choice.

It seems like this match is going to go down to either team's second innings, perhaps with Kumble playing a big role.

RUDI (to Afridi): Now I don't want one more word out of your mouth. Go back
RUDI (to Irfan): You go back
A short while later, Akhtar was warned for running on the pitch by Taufel.

End of the day's play. This combination of Dhoni and Irfan have done a remarkable job of rescuing the Indians from the jam they were in, having lost four wickets. They've saved the follow-on and they've got under the skin of the Pakistanis, as could be noticed from Afridi's attempts at sledging them. They are a good combination for this Indian team, and should stay together in the team for a long time.
Smashing dialogue.

Maybe, as Boycott said, add 10k's, or just bowl to a proper plan. Look at how often he bowled short to Afridi then. Not to mention, come in along the crease, and not at an angle. Hopefully the people in charge are working on that....or will be. He had decent support this time, so he has underperformed here, but this is one pitch where nobody who lacks pace can succeed, and Abdul Razzaq's performance is an example. Should just be a bug, and not a major deficiency, and in no way enough to cost him his place in the side.pug said:
