OK, will start after your write up is submitted.

Thanks

 

[Varun]

It's a gamble, no doubt. Let's see where it leads to.

Good luck.

 

[Norris]

Good luck.

Same to you and @Mani

 

[Akshay]

He won the toss again ??

The coins are fixed, I tell you.

 

[Norris]

I agree. TMH has some explaining to do.....

 

[harshad]

Chaminda Vaas will be carrying the water bottles for team in this Match.

Not much. It's a traditional subcontinent wicket man. As the OP says, stadiums are indicative of the condition, nothing more. So karachi is a subcontinent wicket. Just like Eden or premadasa. Lords = scg = Wellington for example.

So am I right in assuming that the pitch will be batsman friendly, with cracks starting to develop from Day 3 or Day 4 onwards, aiding the spinners and perhaps some uneven bounce ? No swing, or no real noticeable seam ?

It's the stadium where Pathan took his hattrick. Imo To say it has swing is an understatement.

Thanks, but these guys say that the stadium is just an indication of the country or conditions and not the actual stadium

Since the 80s pak has kept conditions to favour swing. Likes of Wasim Waqar and all ripped up teams due to this.

You've done an amazing job organising all of this TMH. Thanks.

 

[RedTiger]

To be fair though, Browne is not a bad keeper his stats are fair and similar to Mushfiqur, obviously I've lost Mushfiqurs batting but philander should even it up by being a better bowler.

 

[RedTiger]

@RedTiger has won the toss vs @harshad . Decision? Watson is 12th man for RedTiger while Vaas for harshad.

Bat first.

 

[The Man Himself]

So, all the 4 teams which won the toss are batting first!

Skills vs Akshay will start UK morning time tomorrow.
Ijazz vs Mani by evening UK time/night India time tomorrow.

Aldo vs Prath and harshad vs RedTiger should start morning UK time Saturday.

Yea as a keeper he was not bad at all. Mushfiqur lot better batsman though. Philander is good addition, especially as you are playing in SA.

 

[Moby]

I wouldve taken the field had I won so thank you for that. I have no less than four pacemen waiting to get the ball on that surface.

 

[Mani]

Same to you and @Mani

Good luck

 

[Akshay]

Same here. Would have chosen to bowl first in my match.

 

[Varun]

Yeah, surprised at everyone wanting to bat first considering where the matches are being played.

 

[RedTiger]

I thought my venue was best to bat first.

 

[Norris]
