Match 6 - Open Thread related info - Read on (-worma)

Some of you have been requesting for an open thread at the Discussion Group. Here's an 'experimentation' from our side (can't help..."its in the air" ;-)

So..I've opened a thread under the 'Match Threads' section of the Discussion Group. Go on...carry it from here....here's the direct link to the thread.

And btw, Prem or Ruchir or myself would also open the thread here, if you guys want it thus. What say?

  • totally agree with you rahul_fan.

    not sure why people like ss and other avid SG fans do not read into this and see what we see so clearly - that SG's cricketing skills have deteriorated, his divide and conquer leadership style of late has destroyed the team and that our bench strength goes beyond dinesh mongia, zaheer, nehra and others who live on past glories and sucking up to the captain.

  • rofl..

    watch out the experimentation idea might be patented:P

    good one though

  • Let us leave SG.Let him take rest at domestic level.

    Move on with New Captain with young team

    SG started everything by creating drift by going to public atfirst and he desreves for that.

  • Guys,

    The idea behind the Discussion Group(link on blog) is to have a forum where there can be discussion on all cricketing and non-cricketing issues, and as such, functions as a logical extension of the blog.

    The maximum rush traffic on the blog is during the games, and the DG is a good place to host discussions, hence this.

    The first innings open thread for today's game is on the DG. The second innings would continue to be there OR on the blog, but ONLY ONE (to avoid confusion). Whether it continues to be there or on the blog, there WILL be a post announcing it, both there and on the blog.

    At the end of the game, there will be a poll on the blog asking which option is better and based on the feedback, a decision would be taken for the next few games.

  • Discussion Group rocks...its the way to go.

    By Blogger ClannZú, at 22:09  

  • anyone knows the URL on sportingstreams for today's match??

    By Blogger Unknown, at 22:20  

  • DG is not ideal. It has to be seen in full screen and lot of colors, etc. Bit difficult to watch all day in office. And have to navigate to pages by pages to find the latest post once the match starts.

    I vote for blog comments. it is very fast compare to DG.

    By Blogger Balamurali, at 22:21  

  • It would be nice if you could just follow this one innings on the DG open thread, just to avoid confusion.

    If most people feel the way you do, then it would be reflected in the poll tomorrow, and the next game would be on the blog.

    @Bala Murali -- Thanks for your feedback. The DG can always be reconfigured to suit some preferences, but thats for later.

    By Blogger Arjun Swarup, at 22:27  

  • sahir,

    I just did that.

    By Blogger Balamurali, at 22:28  

  • Vshan,
    You forgot SRaina. he can bat too.

    By Blogger Balamurali, at 22:30  

  • guys,

    thanks for your feedback. I guess there is a bit of a split in terms of preferences.

    Prem would be following the game after an hour or so, maybe here, maybe there.

    Based on what he says, AND the poll, a decision will be made AFTER today's game.

    By Blogger Arjun Swarup, at 22:33  

  • rajg,

    I too agree that. Blog rocks. DG sucks.

    By Blogger Balamurali, at 22:39  

  • Sreesanth perhaps will go for a cool 80 t 90 in his 7 or 8 overs from the looks of it

    By Blogger Crick_Love, at 22:45  

  • much better bowling from sant. jayasurya is not on strike though

    By Blogger RandomThoughts, at 22:46  

  • Sreesanth is bringing Jayasuriya back to form..period

    By Blogger Crick_Love, at 22:47  

  • YS is not superhuman!

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:48  

  • SS used to bowl 3 nice overs before going for 15+ in his next 2..now, he has commenced it right from 1st..the 2nd was ok but SJ was n strike for just 2 balls.

    By Blogger Crick_Love, at 22:49  

  • i am still not sure if VS did the right thing choosing to bowl

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:49  

  • Santh better off bowling round the wicket to Jaysurya

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:50  

  • Now Pathan "joins" the party! Again this would definitely bring pressure to Indian batsmen. WOnder if they will be up to the task?

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:52  

  • Guys.. I am calling it quits right away.not worth wasting my sleep..this is going to be 360+ SL score...VS has not only got it wrng but he has ship wrecked the momentum gained after 4-0.

    By Blogger Crick_Love, at 22:52  

  • tc, the ground better be small

    By Blogger Toney, at 22:53  

  • How come Indians are now hitting the stumps!?

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:54  

  • A decent over from Santh finally! Hope he canmaintain this momentum.

    By Blogger Anand, at 22:57  

  • Jaysurya out! Santh strikes!! caught behind!

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:04  

  • Finish Santh, rest Pathan bring RP

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:12  

  • Santh atleast shows enuf flexibility in shifting from round to over the wicket and viceversa whenever necessary.

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:14  

  • Powerplay 2 invoked

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:16  

  • Sehwag unable to bend! needs to work on his physique.

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:18  

  • hmmm...VS' decision vindicated? hopefully yes!

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:20  

  • hey TC...u "fixing"??!! :P jus kidding!

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:28  

  • guess they will bring Santh after Pathan and get done with his quota

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:30  

  • Murali Kartik without his ponytail...hmmm India might lose :P

    By Blogger Anand, at 23:31  

  • seems this dude sreesanth has had enough of playing the lankans..trying really hard to get dropped isn't he...willow working fine for me..try diffrent networks

    By Blogger Neelesh, at 23:49  

  • jay gone!

    By Blogger Neelesh, at 23:51  

  • network 2 is working alright for me

    By Blogger Neelesh, at 23:51  

  • not a statistical connoisseur but never seen so many direct hits by the indians as in this series

    By Blogger Neelesh, at 23:57  

  • atta gone ha ha!

    By Blogger Neelesh, at 23:58  

  • so who took the wicket? cricinfo not of any help here, btw anyone know of an audio link?

    By Blogger Ruchi's, at 00:03  

  • tffy lol dont compare karthik and macgill, come on one is in the top level of his expertise, the other is still a bacha

    By Blogger Ruchi's, at 00:04  

  • tffy - get your point mate and thanks for the cricinfo details, i changed the address to http://rsa.cricinfo.com, don't notice any change, but i guess i will see some.

    By Blogger Ruchi's, at 00:37  

  • jeetu, you can use simple vlc media player, i use it to play my videos, it does have an option for "saving streaming videos"

    By Blogger Ruchi's, at 00:51  

  • I think something wrong with the telecast. Anyone watching in india?.

    By Blogger Balamurali, at 01:05  

  • if anyone cares to listen, the discussion group thing is too damn heavy and slow. i try to post to it there are already 2 more replies and it asks me if i want to review ... i say 'post' again and there are again 4 more replies and i get caught in a vicious circle ... granted my internet conncection is not the best .. but im not exactly on dialup either ... plz cud someone look into this ? is there any way one could get past this 'x replies have been posted while u were reading. Do you wish to review ?' business ????

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 01:21  

  • Guys

    The Farviz is a is the "Parvez" that has taken a little phonetic beating and Mahroof means, in essence, popular.

    By Blogger Shakeel Abedi, at 01:30  

  • well well ... im sure the times of india and other petty minded papers will be full of praise for rps tomorrow ... just at the end of last match they were like he has no firepower and zaheer shud be back ... and such crap ... pathetic senseless ppl who dont have a vision and cant see anything beyond figures ... that too only of the last match

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 01:39  

  • yacrik, i hope u r joking

    straighter neo, whats the point of all those features if i cant post ?? someone plz remove that ridiculous 'You may wish to review your post' crap

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 01:48  

  • I like blog better than discussion group

    By Blogger Shekhar Kale, at 01:51  

  • i think we can expect a hundred from sachin today - small score, no pressure, decent wicket ..

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 01:55  

  • well no not all 38 ... but given these circumstances we are very likely to see one !!

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 01:59  

  • Let GG open ..

    By Blogger Shekhar Kale, at 02:00  

  • of course GG has to open

    By Blogger Gaurav, at 02:03  

  • guys...new thread for second innings opened here on the blog...we move over from DG for now....and lets review later on which one you prefer
