India v West Indies | 2nd Test | Kolkata | 14-18 Nov 2011

[Afridi_Fan]

India won the toss and decide to bat 1st.

[Afridi_Fan]

Toss Heads, says Sammy, it's tails and Dhoni decides to bat. He says Eden Gardens is one of his favourite grounds. India stick with the same XI, which means R Ashwin will be playing Test cricket a day after his marriage.

[Afridi_Fan]

Sammy says he would have chosen to bat as well. "Playing cricket in India is a place you want to be, the way they support the game, the calibre of the players around." Two changes for West Indies - Roach comes in for Rampaul, and Barath comes in for Powell

[Afridi_Fan]

I hope somehow Sachin gets his 100 and we can close this chapter. Its now dragging for too long.

[CORNERED-TIGER]

shitty schedule

only 2/3 days rest

shame

[jeetu]

I hope Veeru gives us another blazing start.

[W63L35]

I hope somehow Sachin gets his 100 and we can close this chapter. Its now dragging for too long.

:))

Couldnt agree more.... this will shut up his fans .... who can't stop whining about him not getting his 100.

[zzebie]

It seems the man himself and his fans, aren't that bothered as much as the media and his detractors are.

[USIND]

A_F & W63 - With your blessings,hopefully,Sachin will get 100 this time. :sachin.

CT - Your new avatar looks nice. :)

Tendulkar broke Lara's record of most Test runs in an empty Stadium in Mohali. Could be same for his 100th century at Eden - Sad but poss

600+ runs pitch & West Indian bowling. I'll be shocked if India scores any less!

[USIND]

1 Legbye.

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ooohh struck on the helmet

[USIND]

Sehwag got hurt in the neck. :(

[Afridi_Fan]

She-wag gets one on helmet.

[zzebie]

Yikes,Sehwag got hit. Hope he's not hurt

[iHammad]

In his pitch report on NEO cricket, Sunil Gavaskar says because of the early start there's some moisture in the track which could help the fast bowlers early on. Ian Bishop expects turn as the match progresses though there is some grass on the track. Will be an interesting decision for the captain who wins the toss.

Wow...

[cricketworm]

I like the way Castro bowls. So pleasing to see!

[USIND]

He is fine. :D

No Ball.

[violet_may]

Nice bouncer to Sehwag. Dang Fidel.

Love the attitude that accompanies fast bowlers :akhtar

[cricketworm]

Why is Sammy bowling ... give ball to Roach.

[USIND]

[cricketworm]

It's swinging! Give ball to Roach ... , Sammy!

What a retarded shot. :facepalm:

[Cricfan4eva]

Both openers throwing their wicket away.

[Cricfan4eva]

They haven't learned anything from 1st test dismissal, as flat a track can get. Gambhir had good chance to get a century after a long time.

[Ambi]

Again a loose from gambhir to get out

[cricketworm]

Wickets fall and people start to cheer ... I am sure this happens to only one man in cricket world. ... LOL

[IAJ]

Decision like this is heart-breakning on this slow flat GT road!

[ahamedirshad123]

Umpire trying his best to help Tendu reach his 100th ton. Amazing!


England v India


76.1 gone! Tendulkar out lbw! Very brave decision from Rod Tucker but it's a mighty tight one. Just about clipping leg stump replays show. Good grief. Huge strike for Bresnan, drifting it in from outside off stump, Tendulkar played across the line and was struck bang in front but the drift was taking it onto leg 262/5


India v West Indies


1nd innings
20.6 89.0 mph, he's got him leg before, nipping in from a fullish length, similar to the no-ball that bowled Sehwag, Sachin was rapped on the pads in front of leg as he missed the tuck, umpire Tucker raised the finger and Fidel is delighted, India are three down after that flying start 113/3

2nd innings
63.5 52.2 mph, not happening this time, folks, Sachin has taken India near the brink, but he is gone now, went for the pull as he saw the short length, but it skid in towards him and he was hit in front of middle and leg on the pad, umpire Tucker took some time before raising the finger 233/4





SACHIN WAS DECLARED LBW 3 times in a row by Rod Tucker

[Ambi]

hey Ambi..
surprised to see you conversing in hindi :D

The slowness of the track did the trick here for bishoo

[Sandeep99]

is the last time they bat together at Eden??think so...

[velu]

Sachin fans must be cursing Bishoo now :)).

Bishoo was troubling him in the previous match too.
Sachin needs to work him out, but today its very soft dismissal

[IAJ]

"51.6
Bishoo to Tendulkar, OUT, 75.3 kph, stop that countdown, Tendulkar is gone, just as Gavaskar was mentioning the swelling crowd, Tendulkar falls to Bishoo again, a short ball which turns away, Tendulkar looks to pull off the back foot, can't beat Marlon Samuels at midwicket, India can get back to work now "
