Meanwhile Pak vs SL game is cucked... 86 over gameplay so far and its 3rd day.
It suites really well for Pakistan as they might have lost the match if not for the rain with the terrible form they are in and now they can have a sigh of relief as the second day is also washed out  . I would say both pakistan and Sri Lanka must be feeling relax right now. First WTC points for them, doesn't matter if it's comes through wash out game. And bloody hell, what's wrong with kiwis today.. how many overs left ? |

~snip~ @7788bitcoin If Aus don't get bowled out then i don't think they should bat entire day tomorrow, at least give kiwis 20-25 overs to bat under the lights.
A couple of wickets and the Australian tail is exposed, so New Zealand will be trying their best to restrict them to a low total and it all depends on how the Australians will approach the game, they will be trying to score some quick runs if they loose the wicket of Labuschagne. Tail is exposed but they should touch 400 mark, Paine is batting with tails, its not a tough task when pitch is good to bat. ~snip~
i hope Travis Head will build a good partnership as he is also averaging really well above 50
Travis head was looking good but he threw away his wicket after all the hard work.

Indian fans have this problem. I didn't watch game so not aware of this particular incident . As far as i noticed fans were booing Rishab Pant and Virat came in his defense followed by some statement during the press conference. this thingy happened against Bangladesh too when fans were chanting Dhoni. Booing the players during the game is not something I would condone. I had condemned similar behavior by the English fans when they booed both Steve Smith and David Warner during the Ashes. And more than a decade back, I was disappointed by similar behavior by the Indian fans, during a World Cup match against Sri Lanka. Let's keep the sportsman spirit by removing these hooligans from the crowd. Well, Booing is a part of the deal i suppose. in an ideal world we can do cherry picking but we are not living in one. IMHO when someone plays good then spectators chant their name and idolize them, players loves it so they should get ready for booing also. if they want to shut up the crowd then good performance is their only ally, not silly statements. After good performance the very same people will cheer for them without any doubt. so i am up for all kind of criticism, booing, Cheering, sledging etc but not "physical confrontation". ~snip~
I said this in this forum, if Sanju Samson was not selected in the match played in Kerala the entire team will be booed
Yup, i remember that. |

Marnus Labuschagne continued his form and scored his third consecutive test century which is incredible and both of those innings were above 150 runs but short of reaching a double century and now he has the opportunity to improve that and reach his first test double century if he is able to play the entire day tomorrow and if he is able to play by each sessions then he will accomplish that and unfortunately Smith got out to the trap set by the New Zealand bowlers.
What a time this player is having as making third consecutive century is a achievement and truly having best of the time in batting it’s seems . Though Oz have lost 3 wickets but scored 220 runs and averaged wins quite slow which is little lower than 3 per over . This Labuschagne guy keep stacking runs this year, no matter who are the opponent. Warner and smith failed today despite their good start. Australia still in a good position. Kiwis can claim some victory as well when they took Wade's wicket in the end. @7788bitcoin If Aus don't get bowled out then i don't think they should bat entire day tomorrow, at least give kiwis 20-25 overs to bat under the lights. |

If its not a seaming wicket then why did they included 4 pacers and left out the spinner Yasir Shah.
There are actually a number of questions. Why 4 pacers and no good spinner on a wicket which is supposed to help the spinners? Why still no Fawad Alam after all the centuries he has scored in the domestic? Since Misbah came, there seems to be a hell lot of interference of politics as well as stupidity. Rain and Bad light interrupting the game so match is heading towards draw anyway unless any team performing Hara-kiri. Misbah is chief selector and coach so it was expected, no one is there challenge his decision. who know if Waqar is also backing him. @Sithara007 you happy now? Lockie Ferguson got the Test Cap. |

Follow up news in India's ODI squad against the Windies, originally it was posted in T-20 thread but new update is regarding ODI so posting here.
Mayank Agarwal is replacement of Sikhar Dhawan in ODI but nothing to excited about i guess, We already know what happened to Samson who was T-20 replacement for the same player (Sikhar). he's warming up the bench. Some of the Indian fans misbehaved with Virat Kohli during the second T20I (which was played at Trivandrum, Kerala). I agree that Sanju Samson is a good player. But you can't really misbehave with the team selectors or team captain, if your favorite player doesn't get selected. I think Virat was also quite irritated by the crowd behavior and I am sure that this incident is not going to help Samson in any way. Indian fans have this problem.

Srilankans are in trouble 129/4, Pakistan have bounced back hard in the second session picking up four wickets. Now SL have to find a solid parternship from this point. If Angelo Mathews and de Silva are gone, then I believe, Pak will win this match.
It is a home match for Pakistan, and yet they have refrained from making the pitch pace-friendly. Their pace bowlers were struggling (especially Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah). But to their credit, they prevented the Sri Lankan batsmen from building big partnerships and the Lankans were unable to convert 40s and 50s to three digit scores. But there is big question about rain. We can expect rain interruptions for the next 2-3 days at Rawalpindi. If its not a seaming wicket then why did they included 4 pacers and left out the spinner Yasir Shah. If it rains, followed by draw. it raises another point as well, If you look at scorecard then you might notice that Pakistan only bowled 68 overs (Slow over rate), only 2 overs from two different part timers, in the end Stumps due to bad lights. It appears to me that many teams are not taking slow over rate seriously. India and SA both were doing same couple of months back. |

I missed all the firework, started from 18th over. but boy oh boy, what happened to Indian top order and Captain Virat. That's how they are treating Guest in the Mumbai ground, its a home ground for pollard for god sake. not fair.  Or this is batting friendly conditions? |

Sri Lanka got a really good start and hopefully they will score a huge first innings score and hopefully we will see more partnership, i hate seeing the match going to a draw but i want to see drama in the final two days . At one time Sri lanka was dominating the game but after first wicket of Karunaratne they lost 3 quick wickets against the seam (96/1 and now 129/4). Guess no big lead for them. |

India announced the Squad for upcoming T-20/ ODI series against the West Indies. Kohli, Kuldeep, Bhuvneshwar, Shami, Jadeja are back and Krunal, Khaleel, Shardul Thakur, Samson out. Samson exclusion looks odd to me, he didn't even got a chance to play a single game and considering Rishabh Pant's recent form, he surely deserved a few chances and not sure what Kedar Jadhav is doing in the ODI squad, he's 34 yo. IMO management should look out for new blood (Shubham Gill). No mention of Dhoni, guess more speculation on his retirement. https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/110916/kuldeep-bhuvneshwar-back-in-squad-for-west-indies-seriesT20I Squad: Virat Kohli (C), Rohit Sharma (VC), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (WK), Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Injured Dhawan ruled out of West Indies T20Is; Samson named replacementNow Sanju Samson is part of 15 member sqad for this T-20 Series. he's replacement opener for Sikhar Dhawan who got injured in Domestic tournament ( Syed Mushtaq Ali T20). hard luck for Dhawan but good opportunity for young Samson, hope this young fella grab this chance with both hands and would like to see new guy opening for Team India instead of KL Rahul.

So... first test match in Pakistan after a whole decade? I hope it goes fine.  So the last tour of Sri Lanka was for ODI and T20 and now the first Test after a long time, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat and i see all their players in this tournament and hopefully the series will be a good one as both teams are not in great form but i am hoping Pakistan to do better in Test matches and Sri Lanka usually performs well once in a full moon as we saw against South Africa so we cannot under estimate the Sri Lankan team too and they won the last series in Pakistan, so it is a huge challenge for Pakistan. Well i think "Full moon" coming out for Srilanka today . they are doing good as of now, 23 overs and 75 runs for opening partnership. Dimuth Karunaratne getting big share of runs in this partnership, its seems to be a good wicket for batting and we can hope its 5 day match. Yes, mate you are right both teams, not in good form but the sir Lankan team has good performing players better than Pakistan it will help to sir Lankan team to give good performance in this test match and now sir Lankan team got a good start they are scored 71 runs in 23.2 overs without a wicket to lose.
Okay you are quick |

~snip Our dear Sherlock aka Umer still looking out for dirt and digging some conspiracy theory.. nice bro Very boring day as far as Cricket is concern. so please enlighten us with some good conspiracy tales, Would love to hear you out.  He really likes conspiracy theory as there is no way an international player from India will do anything silly because the amount of money they are earning is too good to do something foolish like that and the amount of pension they get is ridiculous and who in the right sense will do anything like that, other countries might be doing as the pay scale might not be good and we often seen Pakistan players under the fixing radar and they might be doing that because of financial uncertainty . Haha yeah he does, surely one of the interesting character in our tiny cricket community Nice guy. Agree almost all international players from India are financial secure and some are ridiculously rich. Bookies can't even reach out to top players but not sure about Junior cricketers when they play domestic cricket or franchise cricket such as IPL, they seems easy target to me. |

Very nice, coming out great, few quick observation from my side.
-For sculpting purposes, try avoiding overuse of orb brush for folds, mix-up with clay-buildup and trim. always play with light when sculpting just to check shading.
-Use combination of hard soft edges combination when needed on the greyscale model, it brings best out from the model and helps with the beauty shots.
- Some room for improvement with the poly count.

But I think this 170 run is not that bad to defend by the Indian bowlers?
Terrible fielding by India, in one over by Bhuvneshwar Kumar they dropped two easy catches, one by Washington Sundar and the next by the ever green wicket keeper Rishabh Pant , straight forward catch and he is moving after the ball being delivered and what kind of keeping standards he is having only god knows, if they are not taking these easy opportunities they will be loosing the match as they are not even able to pick a wicket till now. Does these acts comes under match fixing ? Is this match fixed to keep the series alive and to make the betting profitable against the majority .
