Jerichohol Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Excelent win for India. Anil Kumble was sensational. 585642457[/snapback] He sure was. What an amazing match. Say what you want, Pakistan had a chance during the 3rd / 4th days but we held on. Very good and entertaining test match. Kumble just shows how amazing he is, taking 7 wickets in an innings and over 10 in the match just is pure class. I still remember when he took all ten wickets in a match, that was a special moment. I was wondering why Ganguly bowled Kumble more than Harbajan, now I know why. Dravid was also very good. 2 classy centuries, Fantastic batsman and I think we have finally found a good wicketkeeper in Karthik, someone who can bat really well and can keep at the same time. Looking forward to the next one in my old hometown of Bangalore. I love that stadium. Can't wait for Wednesday to come :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1kashur Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Pakistani bowling is very poor, they need Shoaib Actor. He does talk **** alot but he also takes wickets. I think ODI series will be more interesting when Shabbir and Shoaib comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashguy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 First of all congrats Inzamam for his 100th tests... :cool: It is 184* Not Out. Well I enjoyed the last ball of day one more than anything when crowd was backing up Balaji, Inzamam was there with a hammer thrashing the ball infront of point for FOUR. Way to go Skipper. Keep it up!!! (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HilariousNinja Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yeh today's work is done. Pakistan are looking strong in this one. I'm frustrated with the Indian bowlers mainly and Ganguly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolslacker Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Pakistan is in really strong position right now. If India does really good when they bat, the match is draw, otherwise Pakistan wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see what happens tomorrow, we really need some wickets, hopefully in the morning there should be something for the bowlers, if not we are in real trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkv Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Go India, Go India ,Go !!!!! heh pakistanis dont have all their *big* bowlers that u used to brag sometime back so lets see how it goes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red. Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 From what i saw today i think this match will be drawn unless either team has a massive collapse which pakistan are known to do and also which could be the case for india because i feel that one could be right around the corner. Hopefully it doesn't happen though. Well played to inzi and younis and congrats to both for their centuries and especially inzi for his 100th match.

a1kashur Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yeah, congrats to Inzi for one of his best innings I've seen. Very well done. Younis supported him well. But their job isn't done yet. We had a big total on day 2 of the 2nd test, but the team collapsed on the 3rd day. They need to stay and bat til at least lunch. Target of 450+ should be good enough. Let's go Pakistan.

jerry Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Good knock from Younis Khan (267) but ... But it paled in contrast to Inzamam's free-flowing knock. This was a gritty knock and these are the kind of innings that can save Tests but when you are looking to win, you need to score a little bit faster.

Jerichohol Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It was a good day today, Good performance by Sehwag at the end but should be quite a chase if we can get at least close to the Pakistani's target then there is a game, other than that, it will be draw and we will win the test series :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Excellent show by Younis Khan & Inzamam Ul Haq after a torrid start at 5-2, some revival and turn of fortunes by this pair. What's the highest partnership for any wicket in a test match all time ?? i think these two made 324 and they should be right up there amongst the top ones i think. It's a glee to get India out on that flat track and i bet one of the indian batsman would also make a double-hundred but if we do get a result we will start seeing some extra spin by the middle of day today. Arshad Khan & Danish Kaneria could be main exploits of it. So far, what a batting display by the Pakistan team coming into this series as written off.
