England In India - October 2011/12

A great knock (including the previous one) from Dravid. All hail the wall.

*searches for the praise smiley but realizes that it's removed from the forum*

Doesn't the benefit of the doubt go to the batsman? Seriously, that was a touch and go decision. No way can you give that out when you are the 3rd umpire imo.

So we finally got Dravid out, not quite sure how the umpire's overruled that? May well have turned out he hit it on Snicko but I don't think hotspot showed enough to suggest it could be overruled?

What a player and a man. Absolute hero of mine in terms of batting. I think his success in this series is the biggest indictment of the rest of the Indian team. All the excuses in the world are nullifed when you see the success he has had this tour.

LOL @ Gavaskar and Shastri kissing BCCI's ass again. Couldn't be more obvious.

Hope Sehwag murders Swann here. You don't get Dravid out and get away with it

That was kinda clever

Good shot, Viru.

Swanny, swanny, swanny!
2 down; 8 to go.
Stage set for SRT.

Big 100 for Sachin to end his test career in England? I'd like to see one but it seems... unlikely. Please prove me wrong Sachin

 

[AbhishekS]

3 down; 7 to go.

Who is the third one? I guess Gambhir may come out to bat if needed.

Yeah 7 1/2 to go

Really is a fantastic cricket pitch this one. Has offered something for everyone at different points.

 

[Cricketman]

Except India's bowlers

 

[Aalay]

Dravid was not out as they just shown in snicko. And a 100 coming up for for SRT

 

[barmyarmy]

Well done Jimmy. One more and we can start chilling the champagne.
Anyone know tomorrow's forecast?

Rahul Dravid - what a legend.
