5th bowler for India, 10-0-52-2 OR was Karthik the better option?

BTW, Dravid hits another ton in today's Ranji match...

Hope he will be selected for 5th one dayer dropping Sehwag.

Wasn't that a Test match?

No. It's Ranji Match Vs Himachal Pradesh played at KSCA stadium.

I feel 10-0-52-2 is better figures. Bhajji has given 10-0-52-0. By looking at these figures, I feel 10-0-52-2 is better. Karthik would hve picked up zero or one wicket anyways and would have gone for runs. Do not know whether the pitch is helping spinners...

Excellent innings by Yousuf (99 not out), who deserves a ton against his name. Patnership between misbah and yousuf (94 in 15 overs) helped pak to take the score over 250.

Let's see how the little master & dada fares here (day-night clash with Akthar in full steam). If they could hold the wicket for the first 10 overs with a SR of 4.5 or 5, makes the job easier

Still more on Chappell Chappell knew World Cup would be a disaster for India*-*News*-*News*-*Indiatimes Cricket

Even before setting foot on Caribbean soil, the then India cricket coach Greg Chappell was sure that the team's World Cup campaign would end in disaster as it was a "flawed group" without any youngsters.

Sehwag at the crease

. Is today the day

?

Master class innings from Sachin Tendulkar (51 runs of 48 deli). India going good at 68/2 in 12 overs. Hoper they score at this rate till the powerplay with wickets intact

Shewag living at the edge (1 runs of 11 deli)

From Cricinfo.

It's exactly 18 years since Tendulkar made his debut - Nov 15 1989 - and is looking in fab touch tonight.

The Sachin of yesteryears is out there .... he's displaying his full range of shots -- 3 consecutive 4s of Afridi :-) !!!

Who said he aint capable .... ???

Nitin · 15th November 2007, 21:07

Sachin on 96..Everyone's praying he goes past 100 today. Poor guy,he's been stuck with some bad luck.
What effortless shots! I was just awestruck watching those flicks and drives.

Sehwag played well.Just got out on 43.

Oh boy! What a pity! Looks like Umar Gul's hell bent on stopping Sachin from reaching a 100.
