***Official*** West Indies in India

I'm not watching it live, but how is Karthik in the field?

Hasn't done much today but he's generally solid in the field. Superb athlete so it's hardly surprising.

 

[adharcric]

Smith gone! Joginder I love you, thanks for the poor delivery first up.

 

[adharcric]

So, when Yuvraj Singh comes back, what do our test and odi lineups look like?

Tough one. Yuvraj has to find a place when he's ready, but who do you drop? You could play both Dhoni and Karthik but that would leave Sourav, Sachin and Yuvraj for ten overs. Of course, there's a wild-card: have Karthik open with Ganguly. Let's wait and see.

Looks like it's hard to ramp up the scoring on this pitch - could be a nice one for Sharma to improve his average on. Had to go to cricbuzz to find that the second wicket had fallen, after cricinfo stalled.

Bhajji!!!!!!!!!!

I think we're all going through Tool withdrawl symptoms. I'm sure we'll get a fix soon enough.

Only in India can you find a crowd as crazy as this

Whats going on with the crowd?

 

[Dravid]

Whats going on with the crowd?

They curse at their team. They say they aren't worthy of being a team. They slap their coaches. They listen to so much crap from the media...yet they all still go out and start going crazy at the ground

 

[adharcric]

Whats going on with the crowd?

Ridiculously energetic. The way they've supported India (every run scored by Karthik and Agarkar, every stop made in the field by Indians, a huge roar) is really creditable.

 

[adharcric]

Dravid, you should go check out the Battle of the CC Posters thread.

Surprising, considering Chappell's anti-Orissa bias.

 

[adharcric]

Not at all impressed by Joginder so far. Bring on Powar.

 

[Raghav]

Very bad performance from Indians........kudos to Bravo and Chanderpaul

 

[pasag]

This is the moment Dr Bellows enters the room and says "Who are you talking to?"

Wish this was on the bloody Foxtel.

Same. Pretty annoying really.

 

[adharcric]

Gone!

 

[adharcric]

Ripper from Powar, one more gone ..

 

[silentstriker]

India back in this now. They still need two more to get at the tail.

 

[adharcric]

Chanderpaul playing yet another brilliant innings ... come on Powar
