**Official** Pakistan in India

[AndyZaltzHair]

good start by Pakistan

India's best chance to pick up some wickets upfront was within first 30-45 mins or so; Wasim reckons pitch will turn a bit later but Pakistan will be bowling by that time

I am not really sure how good of a pitch reader is Wasim though

 

[morgieb]

How the **** is Kohli playing?

World Cup final 99 anyone?

 

[hendrix]

I do like this pitch for one dayers.

what a **** ball from Ishant.

 

[smash84]

this pitch doesn't look like it will do much....

I liked the last match's pitch for ODIs

 

[Xuhaib]

one of Sehwag, Kohli or Yuvraj may demolish us on this track

 

[Xuhaib]

Kumar to Nasir Jamshed, 1 run, back of a length ball angling away, chopped towards sweeper cover
End of over 13 (6 runs) Pakistan 76/0 (RR: 5.84)

how can you chop the ball to sweeper cover?

 

[smash84]

if you chop it early enough then you can

 

[Stapel]

Hmm, I think Sehwag looked a bit lazy on that slip chance.


Is Eden Gardens known for big scores? 100/0 at a run-a-ball feels like 350+....

avg score is around 295 from last 5 games in Eden

guess Pakistan is well on course for 325

 

[smash84]

wow....295 is average.....then Pak should aim for at least 350

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Dinda

 

[smash84]

this must be a really easy pitch to bat on ,.,

Pak are 134/0 at 6 RPO

 

[smash84]

why hasn't yuvraj been tried yet?

 

[smash84]

Raina has been tried but no Yuvraj so far?

 

[Howe_zat]

The pitch doesn't get anything in the book, these two must've been doing something right.

 

[smash84]

finally a breakthrough

 

[smash84]

Hafeez goes.......the RR to slow down a fair bit now...

Jadeja to cement his place in the indian side for another 20 matches
