**Official** India v Pakistan

[Sehwag309]

67/0 off 11 overs at tea, excellent Sehwag has 41 off 38 deliveries, back to his old best, too bad they are not playing Australia when in this sort of form

In all these years, there had to be 1 time when Aus would have upper hand in India

There is always a next time, but again..there is a big difference between Sami and Co v/s Mcgrahh, Gillespie and after that Kasp'icz

ive looked at the pakistan Bowling attack.. and if Sami doesnt do much and Hasan keeps getting belted they have nothing else much to rely on.. Razzaq hasnt been doing anything extraordinary in the recent past.. and Kaneria would be my man if wickets are concerned..

The ironic thing is Sehwag did play like he's playing now against Australia. Well he wasn't as dominant early in the innings, he usually built up his innings rather than going BANG BANG straight away, but he still scored well against Australia.

Its just a damn shame he didn't have much back up.

Unless someone has a dream of a game for pakistan, this could get painful. Apart from the 3 bowlers and Razzaq is there actually anyone else?

 

[Jono]

Inzy could have a bowl. He could lead from the front

Just Like Gavaskar bowled once and go the wicket of Zaheer Abbas

 

[Jono]

13 runs in the first over after tea!!!

Wowee. Run rate well over 6 now.

Thats exactly what i mentioned earlier.. even if they do.. they have to get through the likes of Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman.. ..

Sehwag brings up his 50 in 49 balls.

How is the batting ?

 

[Jono]

I wish I knew. They're not showing it here in Australia.

From the descriptions on Cricinfo, he's on absolute fire.

Australians bowl somewhat better

1 word. Blazing..

By the way.. ive seen this quite a bit in the comm "excellent running" thats good to hear.. considering how Sehwag was more of a lazy runner and just a belter.. the communication between this pair seem to be pretty good in the game so far.. for a new pair that is pretty good..

I am not sure Lordy about Sehwag being lazy. You should see him and sachin running together. But he does belt them so much he doesnt have to run much
Are you watching ? How is the bowling? I mean forget the hammering, how are they bowling, particularly Kaneria ?

One can't forget Gambhir in all of this. It looks like he's playing a steady knock too.

lol, one of the few times 42 off 44 in a test match is a nice, 'steady' knock

edit: gambhir gone just as i post...never posting again :P

LOL! Good point.

 

[twctopcat]

Was just about to say bet someone gets caught off Kaneria, and there you go...

Think Gambir got a bit carried away, which is a shame really.

You said it. Though its slightly more than steady. He hit Sami for three boundaries in one over

Someone was suggesting this morning that we should drop him to include another bowler and get Karthick to open. We have such short memories
