The Cricket Thread

well done Pakistan. fielded better, bowled batter. apart from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, no one else really cared about the match for india. Gambhir came in and started to play a test match innings peppered with the odd wild slog. he should be kicked out imo. can't handle a bouncer to save his life. rest of the batsmen - meh. utter wank.

bhuvneshwar kumar was epic though. brilliant display of swing bowling

This is a must read article from Paddy Upton who was India's assistant coach on Sachin Tendulkar.

I am amazed how the Indian authorities let a girrafe come along with the Pakistani team. Where the hell did that 7 footer came from? He was a giant.

Whats more interesting(or scary) is that he is the smallest in his family height wise.

Clarke has had a Bradman like year. Yet Another Hundred. Incredible player.

Wow Yuvraj, fuck me he's hit like 5 6's in 10 balls or something. What a performance by him. Reminds me of that Broad over lol.

Why are bowlers so thick nowadays? Full and straight ffs why would you carry on bowling short if your getting hammered? Senseless.

India 192/5

[Ankit 3,176]

Oh ho!! That was like Yuvraj saying to Bowlers "Welcome to the Yuvi show bitches, you are getting hammered tonight" 7 sixes at a pretty big ground. Simply marvelous. . Things like these help me sleep at night better. (unless our bowlers don't fuck it up)

Oh and Saeed Ajmal the best spinner in the world?? Yeah, right. Tell that to Yuvi.

FFS we can't win anything these days.

Siddhu is a terrible commentator.

Pak hitting a 6 every over. This is pathetic bowling from India

You'd think with a talent pool of one hundred thousand million triple billion India would be a better team.

There's no sporting culture here. We don't grow up taking it seriously; the focus is on academics.

Series finished 1 all.Not too dissapointed tbh but we lost today's game from a very winnable position.

Yuvraj played a good innings and ajmal did not have his best day but that does not mean suddenly he is a bad bowler.1 bad game will not undo all the good work he has done this year.

true... when yuvi is on song their is hardly any1 in the world who can bowl to him. ajmal is undoubtedly the best spin bowler in the world but he has his achilees heel. if the attack is taken to him he kinda crumbles. something proven by hussey and yuvi today. virat usually has his no. and i dont think their is any1 who plays ajmal better. on the other hand, batsmen like bell who give ajmal too much respect are simply eaten up by him.

i would really love to see how ajmal fares in the odi series.
