Declaration : Win some , Lose some ! - ketchim - 07-21-2014
I was just applauding TEST match declaration as exciting :
and needed chutzpah from a Coach and Captain !
Worked for South Africa with a WIN against Lanka :
Failed for England with a LOSS against India ..

Dale Steyn : 9 - 99

Perera an Offie , took a 4-Fer prior to the Declaration as Saffies went after RUNS :
Can Tahir and Duminy SPIN these 9 wickets on Day 5 ?
Can Lanka pull off 260 runs on a day 5 strip
Gotta love TEST cricket 8)

This is why Test cricket is still Entertainer number 1.Topsy turvy match,but India have gained the iron hand for now..
I still remember what Root and Ali did against SL. These 2 will be a pain in the ass if they stay for long.
Moreover the tail ender's too can hold fort.I don't see a sure"win" situation for India,but at least they won't be losing this test

Was this Declaration too EARLY from Cook ? :-\
Re: Declaration : Win some , Lose some ! - mapoui - 07-21-2014
the way I look at it class and form transcends conditions. I dont care about pitch and time in the match really. that is for lesser peoples ::LOL:: ::LOL::
if you can really bowl it dont matter what the time and place is
