[Prince EWS]

Which is lame because Bhuvi would be so much better in such a scenario

I'd love to see him take his batting more seriously. I think he's got almost as much ability as Binny with the bat; just goes through phases where he doesn't really apply himself because he thinks he doesn't have to. Binny only ever plays to allow five bowlers so if Bhuvi could be seen as someone who provided something with the bat as well I'm sure he'd get picked ahead of him.

Everyone's bowled except Rohit. I pretty strongly feel that Rohit is the fifth best bowler in the side so I can only assume that shoulder injury ***** spoke of is preventing him from bowling at all.

Yea, I think he just doesnt want to bowl but the rest of the side were in Virat's ear about getting a couple of overs, so he let them.

Rahane hasn't bowled either.

I think Bhuvi's already shown that he's a better batsman in Test cricket. Binny had that very useful 60 odd in England but Bhuvi still managed to bat better than him in the series. It doesn't seem like there's a lack of application on his part.

It's not even up for debate as to who the better cricketer is when you factor in the bowling, where Bhuvi is far, far superior.

Can ABDV get a triple Cowan ?

(face 300 balls)

 

[Niall]

Dhawan going at 3 an over, was he bowling blind folded?

 

[CricAddict]

Jadeja's figures are giving me goosebumps.

 

[dfrinku]

Is anyone else getting really annoyed when any runs are scored?

Its like muffled voices of people talking in the next room interrupting your thoughts as you are slowly drifting off to a comfortabe nap

I'd love it if Faf still got out for a duck despite blocking out so many deliveries

 

[cnerd123]

Jadeja's current spell is in Binary

11-11-0-1

 

[Howe_zat]

11 cheers for binary!

Then he's on track for a world record. Pretty sure Nadkami set it around 20 in a row or something like that.

 

[Contra]

LOL Ashwin bowling like harby

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nadkarni conceded 5 in 32 overs iirc. Jadeja's economy is going to be lower if he continues like this. Never thought those figures would ever be replicated.

 

[Contra]

So can India simply continue to bowl until it gets dark or once the minimum number of overs required are done its a draw?

 

[Jono]

Kohli underbowling himself

 

[cnerd123]

Yadav has bowed 10 maidens. A few more and he'd have bowed more maidens in this innings than he has in his entire career to date*



*This may or may not be true. Sounds plausibe though, doesn't it?

Nadkarni conceded 5 in 32 overs iirc. Jadeja's economy is going to be lower if he continues like this. Never thought those figures would ever be replicated.

His figures at the end of third day of the match, bowling mostly against Brian Bolus and Ken Barrington, read 29 overs, 26 maidens, and no wickets for three runs. He finished with figures of 32-27-5-0 and bowled a record twenty one consecutive maiden overs (131 dot balls in a row) in a 114-minute bowling spell.[1]

Jadeja won't beat Nadkami
