India bundled out for 76 runs in Ahmedabad Test
2008-04-05 07:14:00 AHMEDABAD: South Africa's pace bowlers ripped through the much vaunted Indian batting line-up at the Motera Stadium on the city's outskirts on Thursday, bundling the hosts out for a paltry 76 runs in 20 overs in the second cricket Test between the two sides.( Watch: India all out for 76 runs at Motera )Led by Dale Steyn and Makaya Ntini, the Proteas sent the Indian innings spiralling into an abyss from the first few overs of the match.Indian captain Anil Kumble, who passed a late fitness test, won the toss and elected to bat first on a pitch that had more than a tinge of green on it. With Sachin Tendulkar out with a groin injury, India went for the extra bowling option, picking Irfan Pathan in his place.R P Singh kept his spot, despite appearing to be short of both form and fitness in Chennai. South Africa made no changes from the side that got them a comfortable draw in the Chennai Test.Ntini drew first blood for his team by having opener Wasin Jaffer caught at slip by South Afri...
Advantage rests with us Kumble
2008-04-02 12:07:00 Skipper Anil Kumble is hoping for a better wicket going into the second Test in Ahmedabad. "On hindsight, I would have played (Virender) Sehwag and Rahul (Dravid) and had seven bowlers," Kumble said, replying to a question whether he required five specialist bowlers on the flat M.A. Chidambaram Stadium track. "That is something we can think of, but at the end of the day if there is something for the bowlers, the four bowlers would have certainly taken advantage." Has Kumble passed on any instructions to the curator in Ahmedabad, where the next Test will be played from Thursday? "My only message for the team is to win, which I don't give to the groundsman," said Kumble. "Whatever he prepares, we go and play on. I am hopeful it will be an even contest between bat and ball." Even South Africa skipper Graeme Smith was hoping for a "balanced" contest. "You've got to give credit to the batsmen. They made it count," Smith said. "Obviously, you would love a wicket that allows a little b...
Motera curator promises sporting track for 2nd Test
2008-04-01 13:56:00 Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Neil McKenzie and Hashim Amla turned out to be the heroes in Chennai as runs flowed from their bats in the first of three Tests. However, there was one factor working against the bowlers ? the pitch. The Chepauk track just did not have anything in it for any bowler throughout all the five days. Both the skippers ? Anil Kumble and Graeme Smith ? criticised the pitch after the match and hoped for a balanced contest between the bat and the ball in the rest of the series. It is learnt that Smith has heavily criticised the strip in Chennai in his report to the match referee Roshan Mahanama. As a result, as both the teams move to Ahmedabad for the second Test, the pitch at Motera remains the talking point. And the 22-yard strip in question bears a look exactly opposite to the one in Chennai. When both the teams reach the stadium for training on Tuesday, the bowlers? eyes, especially that of Ishant Sharma and Dale Steyn and Co., will light up at the sight o...

NEW DELHI: Virender Sehwag expects a spinner-friendly pitch at Ahmedabad in the second Test starting against South Africa on April 3 and sees an opportunity for India to go one-up in the series. ?Last time, when we played in Ahmedabad, it was a spinning track and we won the game against Sri Lanka in four days. I am looking forward to a spinning track and India will get the chance to take the lead,? Sehwag said here on Monday. When asked about the pitch at Chennai, Sehwag said, ?everyone is talking about the runs scored (in the first Test) but no one has bothered to highlight Harbhajan Singh?s eight-wicket haul in the match. He deserves a lot of credit that was not given,? said the opener who scored his second triple...

It is almost sure India will open with Tendulkar and Ganguly. But the problem arises then. In no.3 one of either Gautam Gambhir or Virender Sehwag may bat.2)Irfan Pathan's comeback : Irfan Pathan has really amde a good comeback in recent days from world twenty20.
