Afridi full of positive words for India

Still feel the Indian top order needs some tinkering.

The form of Rohit is worrying but he needs to stay.

Dhawan may be in borrowed time as I think Rahane suits Rohit a bit more.

Think Raina needs a big score soon too.

Wow, what a catch by Hardik. Raina strikes in first over.

Sharjeel out for 17...one down. I wonder what's a defendable score on this pitch.

At Eden 160 will be winning score if it assists spinners. 140 is competitive as well given the degree of turn spinners are getting.

The ball won't turn on a wet pitch though will it?

oddly enough it turns more when the pitch is wet or has moisture in it.
I actually thought the extra spin was because of the moisture.
The wicket certainly got easier to bat as the game got on.

The fact the seam bowlers were also getting some grip suggest Moisture played a part.

I suspect the wicket was super dry underneath but had some moisture at the top because of the rain which caused loads of turn and bounce.
would have been interesting to see an 50 over game on this pitch and see if the turn did reduce as the game went on.

I wouldn't say the wicket was poor though, still had good pace and run scoring was possible, I would say batting was difficult because of the weather conditions than the actual pitch.

[Dr Cricket]

India will cruise this.

Kohli and Yuvi will just milk the bowlers

What a difference a pitch makes

thrills and spills yesterday, sore and snooze today

I actually thought the game was good.
Was a clear balance between bat and bowl although the first 10 overs were hard work which did make the toss very crucial.
When sami took 2 quick wickets anyone could have won the game.
