Australia's Tour Of India - 2008

[sohum]

I hope Ganguly can get a ton purely so that he can join those rare cricketers who've hit a century in their first and last games.

Great knock Sachin. A bloody star. Lucky to reach the ton, but as they say, fortune favours the brave, and Sachin has been brave.

Boy he must've been nervous. That's his 40th ton.

Congrats to Tendulkar he finally has a 100 this season (I think). 40th test 100, not good for us as this might have got him off those nervous landmarks.

Great shot and congrats Sachin,a very good 100,and 1st person on this new ground ,good going....

 

[King Pietersen]

Hundred for Sachin. Beautiful innings. Looked nervous in the late 40's and in the 90's, but apart from that, he's been at his flowing best. He really is one of the greats of the game, and I'd say the greatest of his generation. First man to reach 12'000 Test runs, First man to reach 40 Test Match hundreds, and an impressive average to boot. What a player.

And Tendulkar gets his 40th Test century with a four. Good for him and good for India.

Did you get my visitor message?

 

[sohum]

Haha.... wow that was certainly a hard-fought century in the end! I hope he sticks around tonight and unleashes his fury tomorrow. Probably wishful thinking.

Anyhow, I am off to bed.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Not sure it has been mentioned before, but this is Laxman's 100th Test match. I believe India will reach about 330 runs at the end of the day.

 

[nikhil_99]

Tendulkar out,he played a good inngs,but he was playing defensive for last 5-7 overs.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Just need the 1 more wicket before stumps and we'll be in front in this test.

 

[King Pietersen]

Tendulkar was asking for that, just went completely into his shell. Take nothing away from the delivery though, was a good'un from Johnson. Good pace, no real movement, Sachin just played the wrong line, but it was a good ball from Johnson. I'll give him that one.

 

[angryangy]

Yeah, far from his best innings, but all of the 109 runs count.

I've seen it all now! Never thought you would ever give our bowlers credit!

Anyway it's still frustrating watching Johnson and his scrambled seam. If he can get that sorted he will be a very lethal prospect at his pace.

Oh and Johnson gets his bunny

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

Yep, after he has already got 109.
