Tendulkar was out on 8 clearly but Rudi was rude and said no
After the third day Pakistan can, at best, save this match, but it needn't have been so if the fielders had offered better support to the bowlers, and if a crucial decision had gone their way. Sehwag, dropped on 15 for the first time, went on to make 173; Tendulkar was offered a reprieve by umpire Rudi Koertzen when on 8, and made 94, while Sourav Ganguly got two lives on 20 (though he only added another run to his score). Add up all those extra runs, and it amounts to a grand total of 245 runs. A bit more discipline and luck, and Pakistan would have been eyeing not just a draw but perhaps a win.
