Heh this Test is like something that would happen on Battrick. Pretty funny if you're not an India supporter.

Kind of funny if you are. Sometimes you just have to laugh. I hate to be on the losing side, but I love good performances even more. I enjoyed the bowling of SA.

I'm an India supporter and I found it funny
BTW, news channels reporting that Sehwag, Yuvraj, Sreesanth, Dhoni, Ganguly all reached Ahmedabad just the day before the test. Reason? Being forced to attend IPL promotions and ad shoots. Well done, Mr Modi. Hope the MCC spirit of cricket manual is keeping you good company tonight.

This is not remotely an excuse for how they performed, but still:I'm an India supporter and I found it funny

Indeed, hope AB racks up a 100. Why is Kallis's incredibly young looking girlfriend your avatar?

Ind have one more inning in the game to redeem themselves, but the Q is will they?
In any case, let's make this the farewell test for Jaffar and Ganguly and 2008 the farewell year for Dravid and Laxman
India's upcoming batsmen can score big on flat surfaces and will definitely do a better job than this crapy order .... Even if the new guys do as badly as these duds at least they are adjusting to the learning curve and the chances of improvement are there unlike with these guys
And Kumble, what was he thinking when he decided to bat first? He saw the green top, picked 3 seamers and still

Lasting imagery of the day and mainly got it because of Steyn’s G/F to be honest, what a Jaffer.Indeed, hope AB racks up a 100. Why is Kallis's incredibly young looking girlfriend your avatar?
even if they don't add that many runs to the tally, they've already got enough of a lead that it is virtually impossible for india to come back...

Dude, Ind have won following on the opposition many times .... going by your argument, Ind would only have won the games in which it batted first
And I doubt if Kumble would have batted first, if the green top were at Mohali
the irony of your post is that SA is in a strong position only coz of the pitch and the fact that Indian batsmen commited harakiri lol

if you had followed the Chennai test then you would know that only Sehwag did well realistically .... others failed there too, yeah Jaffar and Dravid got good scores but they hugely benefitted by playing with Sehwag, who makes things easy for the other batsmen
I wonder why are you so happy with Ind's bad performance .... SA scored 540 too in that case but i don't see you hoping for any irony in that case

Thanks for the link, Top Cat.
Interesting stuff. Some poor dismissals there, although it is difficult to tell, as often poor shots are played after a period of sustained good bowling which eventually brings about the mistake. Nevertheless, Ganguly's shot was just plain awful (seemed to be psyched out by the conditions) while Sehwag did what he does best, stand in one spot, heave at the ball and, if the ball is doing something, generally get himself out. Dravid however received a peach. Lovely ball.

Cheers for that.
Of course, just seeing the wickets doens't give one a true perspective.
Based only on that clip, there were some very poor shots, but of course they do not show whether there were some great spells bowled, pressure was built, there were a heap of unplayables going on which induced those shots, etc. etc.
Of the top order, I would say only Laxman and Dravid could say they copped really good balls, while there were a number of very poor shots from the others.
Again though, didn't see the whole thing.

Yeah Anderson was sharp out here, and bowled alright at times, but generally got no movement and was subsequently slapped.

Wow, there is some absolutely woeful stuff in there. Sehwag's shot =
That ball to Dravid though, unbelievable ball.
