VVS dismissed for nought.

not what was expected. some seriously loose batting by india here

our hopes on a decent total depend on yuvraj now. omg

by SG on Sun 15 Nov 2009, 18:07

Yep, loose strokes both by Tendulkar and VVS.

With their experience they should've been better than this.

by SG on Sun 15 Nov 2009, 18:09

Got to score 200 atleast.

by SG on Sun 15 Nov 2009, 18:25

All of Yuvraj's best innings in tests have come in circumstances like these.

Can he score another one today?

Playing a ton of JAMODI and JAMOTTs was never going to be good practice for real cricket.

Dravid didn't play the JAMODIs and look at him.

VVS too didn't play any T20s or ODIs. But he didn't last long.

Cricket is not as simplistic as this.

OK - you continue to be happy with your team playing rubbish cricket as a warm up for the Tests.

by The One on Sun 15 Nov 2009, 18:39

also dravid didnt play odis, but yuvraj did

Murali bowling to the Banindians - if that isn't a moral dilemma as to who to support I don't know what is.

So everytime a team collapses its due to it playing ODIs and not FC before a test match.

As I said very simplistic.

Cricinfo responds,

Yuvraj's three centuries have come when India were 4 for 94, 74 and 61.

Atleast we're doing better than the last time we batted first here.

Whole of India (as well as Murali) are dying to get your support.

Dravid coming down the track and hitting a six in the first session of a test match???????
