ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

This pitch is much better for spinners than expected.

Have our team management made a grave error of misjudgment?
 
I've never seen Sachin so comprehensively being beaten. Living a charmed life.
 
There's no doubt its a 300 wicket especially with India's bowling. Maybe the dew will help a little bit when our quicks are on but I wouldn't count on it.

Ajmal's looking really dangerous!
 
To whoever said Harbhajan was a genuinely great bowler or somethign, THIS is proper attacking spin bowling. Brilliant stuff from Ajmal. Sachin is looking out of sorts but still, credit must be given to the bowler as well.

Does anyone know if Sachin has played Ajmal before?

As in 300 is a par score?

I hope not.
 
40% of ajmal's delivery are doosra. though effective it may not help once a player gets settled.

I think it also doesn't help when you don't play a bowler like that too often.

He's a bit of a mystery to us I think.
 
All in all. a dream and strong start from India. could not have hoped for for. Pak fielding aleady has been disastrous and dropping Tendulkar could even cost them the game if he goes onto scoring 100+
 
Ghambir seems in one of those moods. before you know it, he has scored a run a ball 30 and is well set.
 
Sachin looking out of sorts today :(

yeah really struggling, but just scooped a four, he is also good enough to get through such a session and bat himself back to form mid innings... which would be disastrous for Pakistan. Should have gotten him out already
