Naw mystery, only with West Indies I get mighty disappointed when they lose. I'm more disappointed with what Pakistan did few days ago compare to if India lose today.

I meant (even if India were 55/3 down) its not Pakistani team to grab defeat from jaws of victory every now and then.

IND win and that was expected anyways... BAN have played well once again, very unlucky that on both occasions they have had to bat first.

Shakib just keeps on proving he's a top class finger spinner, even the Indians are finding it hard to carnage him. If Bangladesh find some batsmen who can play like Chanderpaul, they can do some damage in Test with a 3 man spin attack - remember Madmullah or however his name is spelt can bat so there is room for 2 pacers still.

I think spinny is right, BAN will nort get rolled over in the test series... there is also a possibility of Kapali to be in the team and that'll make them stronger. IND is likely to win still but I think it won't be as one sided as we had initially expected.

What was Shakib thinking when he won the toss? Clearly somebody needs to inquire him. There was no way on earth with umpteen spinners in your side you can defend a score against India in such conditions.

Zuhair is correct, spinners, when the ball is slippery, is as good as not using them. The confidence to give it flight is down a bit, in fear of full tosses.

It does not turn, does not grip, you cant flight, it comes on to the bat nicely - it gets difficult to field - why on earth would you still bat first against India when you are BD???

Anyhow, in Shakib's defence, it's no way near what Yousuf did.

To be honest buddy, Yousuf is in a league of his own with that.

Don't know if you remember Ramiz Raja's playing days - my guess is that you don't - He was probably the worst skipper I ever saw.

I not talking about Yousuf being the worse skipper, just that tactics that morning will always be in a league of it's own. I think Yousuf has done alright in Aussie so far, except you know when.

Dont think he has done right. Team selection has not been the best, field placing throughout the series was beyond me.

Well, Pakistan's team selection is always another story, they and the West Indies never gets it right. Anyhow, Yousuf did some alright field placing. Getting 2 man back behind square as soon as Ponting came in, packing the off-side field in Melbourne to Watson - it would have worked in Rauf had held the catch.

that was on Asif's request as he had the ability to bowl with that field. Moreover, his placing was too defensive too often - allowing Hussey soft easy runs when they needed to finish things off quickly at th SCG.

at 70/5 SLN are in all sorts of trouble.
by the way JP, I think we can use the same thread for the Test Series between IND and BAN.

Yes pitch might be dangerous becuz when ever India get 5 wickets so early with this bowling attack they should check the pitch first.

Good recovery by Lanka to get to 214... still IND should win this easily... Just a food for thought for Raj, IND allowed SLN to get to 213 despite having them reeling at 84/6. Randiv gets a half century, Thushara gets some runs as well, now will you say IND's bowling is "Pathetic" Raj? I happens mate... because IND will still win this thanks to their mighty batting it doesn't gets noticed... in case of PAK it gets noticed because they lose!

I was about to post that exactly. Bad bad bad bowling. How could they allow them to score 214.
Such lapse aginst Aus and SA can be costly.

Mighty (Karthik,Gambhir and Kholi) vs good SL Bowlers;
Weak (Dilshan,Tharanga,Jayawerdene,Sangakara,Samaraweera,Kadamby) vs Pathetic Indian Bowlers.
Indian bowlers are really pathetic in comparison to SL bowlers, because SL bowlers were bowling to a Mightly line up while Indian bowlers were bowling to a Weak batting lineup.
