India v West Indies, 1st Test, Kolkata, 6-10 November, 2013

ashtray along with e-kohli was a real trier on the last failed bannie tour here

Don't remember India ever touring Australia recently. Are you sure it's real?

hehehehe...that is a bit like our pom friends forgetting the 5-0 result here

Rohit out lbw for 177.

Ashwin would comfortably bat at No 6 for Australia.

Should've played a shot.

Kumar's not completely hopeless as a batsman either, but he looks like he'll be out any ball.

the bannie tail looks better without that coward zac playing them from square leg

Could use Zaheer the bowler though, or Umesh.

What is the lowest team score that included a 350 run partnership?

Gower and Gooch against Australia in 85? 351 run partnership out of 464 runs.

This was a 280 run partnership, and Symonds and Hayden added 279 out of 419 runs. Haven't checked all, mind.

Crystal out for 33 in an opening partnership of 33.

Is that a record skully?

Tedulkar currently has identical batting and bowling averages in tests.

{snigger}

23.5
Tendulkar to Bravo, no run, tossed up very wide outside off, Bravo drives hard off the front foot to Kohli at cover. Kohli's in pain and is lying on the ground because the ball bounced unevenly as he prepared to field and hit him on the groin. He's getting attention from the physio, and is on his haunches. Painful.

Kohli's going off the field for more treatment. Rahane is the substitute.

Llong having a shocker.

Whoa... pathetic. 101/1. 131/5. Pathetic.

3 in 4 balls. 8 down now. should be over soon

an innings win. who would have thought that yesterday when we were 83/5

shami reversing it all over the place. not seen this from an indian in a while

John the bookie

prediction looking good,,,

Shami's been quality. Would've been tougher if the West Indian batsmen knew how to defend. But he's still been quality.

Ridiculous dismissals of Permaul. Clueless.

and that's the end of that

Delhi Bookies definitely in on this one.

India 83-5 ... finished on 453 . . .
WIndies 101 - 1 second dig . . . finish 168 ao to lose by an innings!

You couldn't make it up.

Like the Trott Broad partnership at Lords against Pakistan?

Pathetic.

yeah what DRS is to ECB,
the 'Delhi bookie' is to bcci.

like the other plagues that are named with delhi, delhi belly, new delhi virus (some new delhi metallo something), delhi 'superbug' all named by some Brit or the other based out of England. How dastardly can a group of human beings get ?

I wouldn't mind if this comment was a natural and logical outcome of a logical post, but fark me even flintoff has been charged with fixing and betting yet this little rascist has to rush in making a slanted post blaming it all on some 'delhi bookie'.

fark me but has there been a single cricket match in recent past, between 2 test-playing nations that has been completely honest without a trace of any fixing or without the bookies wading in at some point. Yet the likes of this postor do not bring in bookies into any of them discussions.

It would also be a shame to suggest that Shami didn't actually deserve those wickets, those were quality deliveries, whatever may have been the intentions of the batsmen.

Md. Shami - 'Washleather' - wipes away WIndies like loose dirt from a windscreen.
