Do you guys forsee any changes in the playing XI for the next match ?

Edit: Sehwag may be out with a back problem, so Abhishek Nayar might get a look in.

Addy81 · 22nd February 2010, 14:00

I feel that Sudeep Tyagi should be given a chance inplace of Sreesanth who didnt look like picking up wickets.

If Sehwag doesnt play it will be a big loss, If Abhishek nayar plays the next game then Yusuf Pathan can be asked to open the innings just to unsettle the new ball bowlers, middle order will have abhishek who is a good hitter and can do the job as Pathan at the end of the innings.

Pathan plays spin better so is best suited in the lower - middle order. If there is no Sehwag, Karthi will open.

and he did a good job in first match.
also sachin will click in next match so opening isn't and issue.
we need bowlers to finish the tail which we can never do!

absolute madness happening at Gwalior. Run feast for Batsmen, Nightmare for bowlers, entertainment for crowd.

harry10 · 24th February 2010, 20:33

I AM SO UPSET.
due to the business meet could not watch the Masterful innings by the master..
Still Sachin- take a bow.
Only he deserves the 200

Karthik-zza · 24th February 2010, 20:46

My God, what an innings! I'm glad I was able to watch him get to 200, at least on TV.

Sir Sachin Tendulkar, I salute thee!

Nitin · 24th February 2010, 22:06

Game over, and we win by 153 runs! Nice perfomance by the Indians.

Addy81 · 25th February 2010, 09:59

Unbelievable innings by the Master Blaster, I was cursing Dhoni for not giving Sachin the strike when he was at 199 and was relieved when he got 200, I feel that this record will stand for long.

All in all wonderful performance by our team, bowlers also did well and fielding was good especially Suresh Raina. Hope our guys will win the next match and make it 3-0 in the series

Anyone following the Vijay Hazare trophy finals? A brilliant finish is on the cards.

TN vs Bengal.

TN - 379/6 in 50 overs
Bengal - 146/1 in 24.4 overs

Edit: I am surprised that no one here spoke about the AUS vs NZ 2nd 20-20 match. One of the best matches ever.

Aye. I watched the highlights.

Eddy · 2nd March 2010, 15:24

And I saw it live.

McCullum was "in the zone", wasn't he ?

yup. playing scoop shots against fast bowlers needs you to be at the top of the game
