That's the loudest I've heard from a cricket crowd in ages

LOL

Does anyone know the Test record for consecutive runs without being dismissed? Might be relevant here for Amla. The record has to at least be 400 (Lara)......

497 according to this acticle here.

Alma is currently 357.

Of course. Sachin Tendulkar. Thanks for that.

Petersen to 97!

SA are looking good for 2-0 win here

Nifty cricinfo is displaying the speeds fulltime. Sharma still in the low 130s, will have to go down the McGrath/Asif route if he wants to stay at that pace.

He doesnt have the movement or control for that. The only reason he was troubling Pontings was the pace plus bounce and a bit of movement (which probably comes only at that pace)

India is a paradise for batsman who debuts here. Michael Clarke got 150 odd on his debut and this time Petersen is on the right way.

 

[venom2011]

It's done amazing things to his Test average... rising from 42.60 before this series to (currently) 46.00!

When he was dropped he averaged 27. Coming back he's averaging 57 over the last 3 years so he's done well for a while now.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Ishant's bowling is all over the place. He'll probably get a wicket now.

Indian Bowling in 2010 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> West indies bowling in the 70s & 80s.

/end.

I can't believe Mishra is bowling so many no-balls

Century on debut for Petersen Only 2 other South Africans have done it

 

[aussie1st]

Ah Petersen, backs up his gun start to ODIs with a gun start in Test. Think he has solved SA opening problem and he seems to have helped with the scoring rate early on.

 

[isrararrafi]

petersen got out!

great knock on debut anyway!

 

[CaptainOZ]

And Petersen is gone. It must be nice, though, to have a Test record better than Bradman, if only for a day

Good innings.
