We had some doubts about whether our ranking is justified or not. But I think there should be no doubts about that now.

Other than the 4-5 chances in the first half we hit the cross bar twice in second half. It was just not to be.

For openers and for tailenders, no of balls faced is also an important statistics. If openers are able to stay at the wickets for the first session of play in a test match specially in swinging condition, it generally helps the other batsmen.

How is upper caste defined? Are upper caste only in Hindus or they are in other religions also?

Actually last 3 finishes were very good. And I specifically liked the cool finish for third goal by youngster Thapa!!

Waiting for Jay's reaction when he wakes up!!

So 4-1 it is then. And India is leading the group. Bahrain and UAE drew their match.

But after half time the game has totally changed. India has dominated first 8 minutes and are leading 2-1!!

In the history of the cricket, less than 10 bowlers have taken more than 3 away wickets per innings in SENA countries. Out which only Murali is the only one who has played in 20xx. So saying that Jadeja will not give you that is almost irrelevant. Jadeja is only little less than 2 per innings in SEN...

I would like to know how many Indians have manged an average of 2 wickets in an innings away. Kapil dev has not done it. Neither has any of our famed spinners. To expect Jadeja to do that would be too much.

Of course if he scores 47 to 50 runs an innings somebody else can do the keeping!!!

I think in case of tailenders we should include no of balls faced also. They are highly unlikely to score heavily but if they stay long enough they can help a regular batsman to score. Having said that India's no7 himself doesn't believe in staying long.

Oh! ok. I thought "they" are there in the forum and you are advising to stay away from arguing with them.

Who all are "they"?

I expect Sindhu to reach final. And she has a very good chance of winning it as well. Tai is already out.
