Do they "still believe" ?
damn I have to read the whole friggin thread for pearls. Not fun anymore though... they don't hate yindia as much after getting mardhandled by Sehwag.
They looked like Nehra spraying the ball. Ponting provided three slips and they kept pitching at least 2 balls on middle and leg; and out of remaining four, one was close to wide. Then he send in one close ball with good line and length.Singha wrote:other than Lee who bowled well ; johnson, watson and tait looked quite harmless today...pakis will win this one

ahem, we weren't actually AO by the time match was stopped. 120/7 IIRC.Marten wrote:Saar, what are you saying? Forgot Eden Gardens, 120 all out?
Azharbhaibchd's wonderful decision making zindabad.
I have watched a few matches in Chepauk, including the last day when Ind-Aus tied the test match; there is lot of energy in general, but the home-pitch advantage is hyped one. Considering the amount of cricket the guys (note the use of guys instead of boys) play these days, I don't see a very big boost. Cricket is different today, so no point in picking Ashwin for the sake of him being from Chennai. I do not see any added benefit.Sridhar K wrote:As SwamyG said, the media and the Kaptaan have unnecessarily hyped Aswin. Very unfair.

On the flip side, it will separate the men from the boys
There were a whole buncha dravidian prics who were applauding that oiseaule on his 194 with a runner when I was there. Thankfully, someone broke that pigsty record. I hear even during the SRT's famous knock, there were calls for "sportsmanship". As MacArthur would say, sportsmanship is for losers. And so is, the game comes first.Marten wrote: Chennai is not a home ground for TI. It has a "secular" crowd that consistently cheers for "visiting" teams. Having watched a match there, I can say at least 75% of the crowd thinks it is the right thing to do.
