India v England 2008

[sohum]

It's going to be a draw, unless Dhoni is willing to put the series on the line to get his 5-0.

I swear that says he has only played 9 tests?

No, it says that he has scored 9 runs from 2000 to 2007, some kind of error down the line.

Jeez they sound like my stats now!

These are the actual stats

Yeah, so those are the 9 matches from 2000 to 2009 in which he has smashed tons.

I forgot to mention this before, but the ball from Mishra which got Colly was an absolute peach, drift, dip, turn, brilliant.

 

[Ollie_H]

So since 2000 Rahul has only got 9 test hundreds? Thats like shocking!

I have to agree with you mob, the ball was an absoloute jeffa! You have already mentioned everything the ball had and it was gorgeous. KP's wicket just oozed arrogance! He didn't think it was out and I was gutted when he got out. But he just didnt play the ball, the game was drying up and England were losing the momentum and then completely lost it.

 

[sohum]

So since 2000 Rahul has only got 9 test hundreds? Thats like shocking!

Yup. I'm not sure the current match is taken into account, but even then that means he scored 17 tons in his first 4-5 years and just 9 in the last 8! He's only got 26-odd tons, though, so that's another thing to keep in mind.

 

[manee]

All this just isn't true. Do the statsguru yourself, that analysis is just confused. In fact, here it is, just look at that...

The most extraordinary part is the period of Dravid playing under Ganguly in which he reached consistency unmatched over a period of 49 Tests. He scored 4912 runs at 73.31 - superb!

 

[simran3]

Sohum you are giving people wrong info.

Rahul dravid has played over 50 tests and scored over 14 hundreds and 3 double hundreds.

I can't believe H.Singh was diplomatic in his interview.

 

[.Mob]

I can't believe KP was so attacking either in his interview. I love it.

"[When] you've got a pie-chucker like Yuvraj Singh bowling at you I really don't mind...When you've got Zaheer Khan bowling from one end and you get left-arm filth like that it makes you feel really good."

Fresh from his hundred against India, Kevin Pietersen fuels the rivalry with Yuvraj Singh.

Filth was good enough to get KP out, filth has made him Yuvraj's bunny. FILTH.

 

[Cricketman]

But you can't describe Yuvraj any better. Filth, so true.

Go KP.

 

[Leggie]

Yuvraj isn't filth. He's a cool person.

 

[.Mob]

Filth, cool, all the same, really.

 

[Adarsh]

Filth is the new sick huh. Sachin's well filthy innit.

Right, so let's forecast what happens. India get a lead of 100. Sehwag smacks it around and they bat for the rest of the day. Even then they won't be in a position to declare, so I doubt there'll be a declaration before Day 5. And then, I'm guessing it'll be a draw since KP's hinted they're not going for a win.

 

[shravi]

Just to clear things up. The stats I provided were showing Dravid's hundreds in matches that resulted in a victory for India.
