Cricket match prediction discussions

[JSRAW]

Dada is my favorite as well because he turn all things for Indian cricket now I am hoping he will President of this BCCI in coming years as well and do some good and positive moves because he can do he is one off greatest Indian cricketer and player in my view

Yeah, he's the one who taught us how to win -fight back.

Fourth and final test match between India vs OZ starting tomorrow and OZ would like to win this test match in order to get the series tie. This would be interesting and thus the OZ are making changes in their playing side and might recall Marnus and Peter as Finch could be out of the match

This one is going to be the real test of the Australian team; Australia has never been beaten by India in their home ground for the last 70 years, it'll be quite an achievement for the Indian team, especially the captain Virat Kohli, to break this record (which I think they'll do). OTOH, the 2nd test match of the 3-match test series between Pakistan and South Africa is beginning tomorrow in Cape Town!

Agreed and so far everything looks good for India , they won the toss , batting first and Pujara /Mayank is playing excellent . I guess Indians has 2 options , Draw or Win . Either gives them  the trophy and breaks the 70 year old drought .

Toss again was won by India and rightly decided to bat first and so far it has being a good inning overall as they are 197/3 . Pujara is playing on 73 and Mayank again hit half century and got out at 77. They should be looking to make above 450+ on this track.

India now 258/4 Pujara and Vihari are batting, Vihari have to show his batting so that he can prove that he is also a strong contender for the india team. If india bat till tomorrow 2nd half then it will be good, as from 3rd day the pitch will start to get pace.

Its funny isn't it? how every other player needs to justify his place in the squad and likes of KL Rahul enjoying the place in test squad without any contribution.

This Dickwella was playing some exclusive shots. The lofted six gone behind the wicket keeper was unbelievable. Suddenly two wicket fall slowed the run rate for Sri Lanka or they were giving good response when chasing 371 runs.

371 is not an easy chase. they way Sri Lanka is playing it looks positive. In cricket anything can happen. Looking forward to an exciting game.

They are about to lose now. was hoping for an exciting chase after 1st wicket partnership.

They have 4 wickets in hand need 98 runs from 46 six balls. Very hard job. Perera is playing well. As long as he is in the pitch they have a decent chance. If he is down then the match is gone.

Let's see if Perera can hold the nerve or just give away his wicket.

Yes I was excited too after seeing the first wicket partnership.

He's fighting but looking tired to me now. another batsman should try to swing the bat so that he can take some breath.

Perera is out. 102 from 86 balls. I do not see any hope for Sri Lanka now. They need another 74 runs with 3 wickets and 28 balls remaining. There are no set batsman. So game is out of there hand now unless there is something record breaking.

Update
And Sri Lanka lost. New Zealand won the first ODI by 45 runs! Congratulations Kiwis!

It was really a very good batting from New Zealand side, and Sri Lanka opening was good and top orders performed well but other did not supported and they lost it, Hope that Sri Lanka wins 2nd match and gives some tough fight back.

India after winning Toss took batting and top orders played well, Pujara made 3rd century in this test series and Vihari also supported well, Mayank Agarwal did a very good job and scored 77, why KL Rahul is still in the team dont know , he is not usefull for batting or bowling itself, If india makes over 500+ score and take a quick wickets then they will be in top.

372 runs to chase was not an easy target but Sri Lanka did very well even-though they lose the match. If their middle order would perform well then we would see Sri Lanka wins. Anyway, better luck for the next match.

In did well on Day1. I am also looking at 500+ runs in first innings. Aussies will need to do very well in their first innings if they want to fight or like the third test they will have to lose. I am not seeing a draw here.

Here between Pakistan and South Africa, Pakistan lost 6 wickets for 156 run LOL I hope they don't lose this test too.

[Raja_MBZ]

Pakistan's top order failed yet again today against South Africa. Olivier just got the 3rd wicket of the inning, seems like trouble for Pakistan.

Yup, everything looks good for India so far.

I am worried about Pakistan. They lost another one now 161/7 LOL

Yasir Shah (5) and Mohammad Amir (9) is betting now. Yasir is trying to hit the ball hard. What could he do. This team is unpredictable.

Update
More 2 wickets gone. Pak 163/9

177 all out within 51.1 overs.

Batting standard is going down in world test cricket these days. not only Pakistan but all teams showing following signs. Maybe due to the rise of the 20-20 format. And i am not surprised if we see another low scoring match. that would be interesting at least every team playing for result instead of draw.

Pakistan has quality bowlers and can restrict South African batsmen as well. having said that Pak team is surely a most unpredictable team in the cricketing world.

 

why KL Rahul is still in the team dont know

@hubballi: Why everyone keeps harassing this fine batsman.

I was watching the Pakistan innings. Shaheen Shah Afridi seems gave away his wicket to the keeper. He wanted to leave the ball but it hit his gloves. Pakistan betting team did not have good time.

Back then most of the test match used to be draw but now a days test matches are different. Every team attacks hence we see results. You could be right in your theory too. It's the effect of t20 perhaps.

So far they are bowing well. Mohammad Abbas and Mohammad Amir. Let's see how SA response.

I see two reasons for the low-scoring matches these days:

1. due to the increase in T20 international matches (as you mentioned) and the T20 leagues (IPL, PSL, etc)
2. due to difficult pitches to bat on. The bounce/pace these days due to these pitches is awful

Pakistan might be all out at a score of just 177, but they can still make a good comeback; it's not going to be easy for South Africa to bat on this wicket.

Pakistani bowling attack was always good and it's still good. SA are now 22 runs without losing any wicket but falling few wickets can turn the match around.

Let's see where we are going.

Pakistani bowling attack is good but right now they have some on and off field problems these are creating more problems for them as personal like and dislike is also too much involve these all are not new we have these things years ago and every time these things done worst for them this series is going 3 - 0 for Pakistan and this year is also worst for them as they have not good enough players who can handle this situation for team and Board is as regular doing all for personal affairs not for team.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

this situation for team and Board is as regular doing all for personal affairs not for team.

This is always true for Pakistan team but yet they have done very well in the past. I hope they will have a good year ahead.

SA only lost one wicket so far. The score is 65/1 not good for Pakistan though.

It will be interesting to see what India do today, will they just keep batting for as long as they can or will Kohli bat until India reach around 450 runs and declare like he did in the third test match. Today will show us what strategy India are going to use, will they want to win the match or just be happy with a draw, we saw in the third test match that India wanted to try and win the match by declaring which some people on here thought might of been the wrong decision at the time but it turned out to be the right decision as India were able to win the match easily. Right now its looking like India will win their first ever test series win in Australia.

They can easily reach 450 , 500 with Pujara on crease . What a player ! He has been great throughout the series , just saw the stats that he has faced 1271 balls in this series which is remarkable , its never easy for any player to face that many balls abroad except if you are Rahul Dravid.

[vella85]

Yes Pujara has had a great test series and was very close to making a double century but fell 7 runs short thanks to Lyon taking a nice caught and bowled. India are now past 500 runs for the loss of just 6 wickets and this now shows that they really don't want to give Australia any opening at winning this test match. India seem to be taking their time so from what I can see they are happy for a draw as 500 runs is plenty as Australia has been struggling to even make 300 runs in their first innings. Maybe Kohli will declare once Pant makes his century and put Australia in to bat in the final hour of play to really put them under a lot of pressure.

[onrise]

Pujara deserved a double tom but just missed by 7 runs would hurt all . India is nearing 600 and would declare soon and try to get Oz all out quickly and give them followon and try to win this match as well . It will be test of bowlers again to get PZ team 20 wickets .
