SACHIN TENDULKAR RETURNS TO CRICKET WITH A 91 BALL HUNDRED!

http://usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/251000.html

Sachin has scored a 91 ball hundred for Lashings World XI against a university team! The opposition might not be that strong, but the runs and the amount of time spend in the middle is certainly really valuable. A hundred coming back to any form of cricket is a big bonus!

Waiting now for Tendulkar to unfold back his genius!

He went on to build it to 155. Not bad at all.

That's good news... does India have anything between the Carib tour and the ICC Champions Trophy?

Yes, there were talks about a Ind-Win ODI series in North America! And we also have the tri-series in Sri Lanka, but maybe, it is after the Champions Trophy!

The tri-series in SL is before the ICC champions trophy.

I don't suppose that innings was recorded on video ? I would be gladly willing to pay to watch an elegant Tendulkar century :happy

They have forgotten what has Sehwag been doing for the past year and half for his single performance (180 runs on a palcid pitch).

Zaheer's so called "excellent spell" brushing aside his other performances.

Grow up guys and stop being the "THALI KA BAINGAN".

You sprout nonsense most of the time!

I fully agree with saisrini. This posting above does not make any sense. As I mentioned before, it seems that people intentionally post silly and controversial stuff in order to get as many reactions as possible. The guy 'Asif' took it to the extreme and few others are not too far behind.

Lets leave the stupid posts aside.

The match starts tomorrow, and hopefully without any delay. India will most likely play with 6 batsmen and four bowlers, with Bhajji included (according to cricinfo).

Lets see how the pitch and weather behaves.

DNA frontpage says "Sehwag is India's fifth bowler." Let me enquire over breakfast.

An interesting battle going on between Worcs and Northants. Northants are 28/4, facing a huge first innings score by Worcs, and Zaheer Khan picked up all four! Its a battle between Ganguly and Khan now.

Wow, Khan on a roll here! 5-for, with Ganguly gone as well.

Anyway, back to the series

Its delayed by one hour, and sources say that Bhajji might play for VRV. So India putting faith in Yuvi and Laxman to strike form.

 

[sohum]

I do hope VRV is replaced. He is not even being given overs, and he can't bat... so why was he in the team?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Zaheer Kahn seems to be in the form of his life!
5/27 off 8 overs, including Dada clean bowled for 2 off 14 balls!

 

[cricket_lover]

I know, the county stint doing him a world of good.

Slow start by WI, Munaf Patel impressive with his line. Bravo stays in the team, so that'll be a boost for WI.

The tri series in Sri Lanka is before the ICC Champions Trophy. It features a now strong 'n resurgent Sri Lankan side and the world No.2 South Africans. Gonna be really hard for the Indians! We need Sachin there!

I just caught up with the scores in Cricinfo!

What the heck??? Zaheer is grabbing wickets like mad. Before this match, it said he has picked up something like 40 wickets this ongoing season so far. And a 5-for again here.. He's on fire. He is sure to be right back into the Indian team very very soon. With Irfan Pathan slowly losing out on the strike bowler status and with Sreesanth and the Patel's inexperience, Zaheer's form and experience should be a hell lot handy!

Dont worry Dada! There is always a second innings! I expect Dada to come out firing now against Zaheer. Come on, Dada! Tear him to pieces. You can! Dont be soft on him just because you were the one behind his career's success. your career is at stake now!

 

[cricket_lover]

lol, Ganguly has fewer opportunities these days, and he better make them count.

Zaheer has done his part, I feel Zaheer/Pathan/Munaf combination will work well. One is a seam bowler, Pathan swings, while MP is a bit of everything.
