*Official* - India in West Indies

[flibbertyjibber]

no sympathies for kumar...

and flibberty nobody here made asuch accusations other than urself... interestingly popping up only to make snide remaks only....

It was just a fact that Aussie umpires making big decisions are generally accused of having an agenda that is all. If you can't see the funny side to it you need to get a life.

Harbhajan has completely given up bowling the doosra these days it seems.

Not been impressed with him at all today. He really is a **** or bust bowler isn't he. Will probably take 6-40 in the 2nd innings to win the match though.

Haha Chanders will get beaten outside off all day and yet never look like getting out.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha exactly.

Also, stop putting your foot on the pitch people.

Done it so often to so many bowlers over the years. I reckon if you were a bowler he must be the most frustrating guy to bowl to in cricket in the last 20 years. Doesn't look like a player at all when at the crease but his quirky style works brilliantly for him.

I don.t need ur advice on how to deal with my life, thank you.

Why was Ishant warned?? he was half a foot away from the danger area??

 

[Manee]

Anyone else bowl seam in the Indian team? I've vague recollections of Dhoni himself bowling some slow-medium filth as the 2nd test of our 2008/09 tour petered out to a draw. Pretty sure I haven't imagined that.

He's not too bad at bowling, just incredibly inexperienced.

Good ball Bhajji. Keep chipping away.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well what a tame dismissal.

Windies lucky to make 200 now.

 

[Cevno]

I've already asked you to leave it. There's no need to turn this thread into this kind of stuff.

Bun, once moderators have dealt with something, please just move on. It just derails the thread otherwise.

Chanderpaul to end up 40* here.

India needed the wicket, looked pretty flat since lunch to be honest.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Interesting discussion between Doodge and Bish. Can a pitch spin too much?

 

[vcs]

Yeah, that was pretty interesting. If you know the ball will go down the legside every time it lands in the rough, it must make things a lot easier.

Consistent big turn < Variation is the overriding message, I guess.

Don't know what they are going on about,tbh

Obviously you want the offspinner to bring the batsman forward when the pitch is bouncing and spinning.
It's not a new theory as they seem to be presenting it.

Neither do i think this pitch is spinning too much .Shorter length balls will spin more than fuller length balls to as they have a bigger distance to travel.

 

[shankar]

Bhajji's bowling with a scrambled seam now probably to avoid the ball spinning too much.

 

[GIMH]

Weird watching Test without UDRS. Shows how quick we adapt really.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Even if the pitch is turning the spinners still need to bowl well, I think thus far the Indian duo haven't bowled anywhere near as well as Bishoo did yesterday. That may change as the match wears on though.
