Australian Tour of India, October 2010/11

[SaiSrini]

Damn, why did I talk? Just when I felt things were going right, Zaheer goes!!!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

And there goes Zak. It was a wicket that was bound to come, he wasn't very comfortable there. Nice stuff from Hauritz too.


This is a lovely pitch to bowl on. Let's see what MSD can do. The match now rests on his and Sachin's shoulders.

 

[Prithvi]

No worries, lets hope Laxman walks in....:upray....

 

[SaiSrini]

oh god.

Is Laxman going to come out?

I guess so, seeing the way he was standing up with his head band on (along with his DJ style headphones)

Its Laxman OUT THERE!!! Come on boy, he can do it!

 

[AngryPixel]

Hang on, Dravid hasnt scored a ton at home vs Aussies? Was I dreaming when he made 190 in 2001?

Yup you was. His only century was 233 at adilaide. In India he hasn't scored a single one against them

 

[Prithvi]

Laxman is Indias the best 4th innings player for the current squad!
Hoping for the best, fingers crossed..

 

[Cricketman]

Man, imagine a guy like Ojha or Harbhajan on this day 5 track. Why can't Dhoni win the toss??

Are you freaking kidding me.

2nd Test: India v Australia at Kolkata, Mar 11-15, 2001 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Sachin and VVS vs. Australia. Classic.

 

[SaiSrini]

Yup you was. His only century was 233 at adilaide. In India he hasn't scored a single one against them

Are you insane? He scored 180 odd against Australia in 2001 at Eden Gardens. Or did some other team play in that epic match?:laugh

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Raina running. Good choice.

 

[angryangy]

I think it's more on Laxman than Dhoni. Even with a bad back and a runner, he's the veteran, the more proven 4th innings player and of course, the more classy player against good pace bowling.

 

[Cricketman]

Yep. Last time the runner was Sehwag!

 

[Prithvi]

If Ricky Ponting wouldn't have allowed stand by runner for Laxman, he'd have been named the worst test captain ever.

Tendlya, you beauty:hpraise!

 

[SaiSrini]

Good decision to send Raina as runner! He is very quick between the wickets, and will complement Tendulkar better in the running department than Laxman.

 

[Cricketman]

This is some scintillating strokeplay from Sachin.

999 runs at an average of 91 in 2010...wow
there's the 1000.

Laxman!! Fantastic shot. If he gets a 50 odd here, we will be in a great position!
