Sourav Ganguly is standing at forward short leg. When was the last time he stood there?

Again our people failed miserably to get the tailenders. At 142/8, they are still playing with 210/8 (stumps-1st day) a partnership between Sami and Misbah of 68 runs for 9th wicket...Disgusting.

diabloo · 22nd November 2007, 17:19

Wow, Pakistan are 210/8 on day 1

, thats brilliant performance by Indians

I love the innovative ways that Misbah ul Haq finds to get out against India. Imagine jumping in the air while in the crease and the ball hits the stump and you being run out.

What a way of getting out I say!

India complete the formalities. Kudos to Kumble for his captaincy. Finally we have a aggressive captain. This makes the coming Australian series an even contest.

snaronikar · 26th November 2007, 12:56

Congrats to the captaincy of Kumble. He had won this game with only four of the regular bowlers. Yeah...He was agressive.

The way we played and lost wickets to Akthar (even in sub-cont wickets) indicates that we are going to struggle a lot against aussies, esp Lee. I hope we fare better than lankans. Even the wall missed the ball through the gates.

Sachin becomes the second highest run scorer in test matches & if he continues this form Iam sure in another 12-15 matches he get pass Lara. Will ponting pass Sachin in terms of highest runs in test cricket.. remains ? Reason, Iam not sure whether he could play in Aussies side for another 4 years

wel wel this match was not good...both the teams falter in batting and then their bowling sees an inpeccable display. we found new talents like macgrath ganguly.
I did want ganguly to complete his fifty and then retire for the day yesterday as i did expect what happened to him. God did he have to come to bat to get out today!!!
I feel Karthik should be sent lower in the order as dravid is actually an opener in both the innings with karthik getting out in the first over itself.

Mr misbah why do you wanna play like that. First you show a ray of hope to pak and then you get out in one of the wildest ways. As an indian i feel you should not play at all....lol atleast we wont have to make every baller ball an over in the hope that you get out and in the end out of sympathy you make some wild mistake which can be termed as the one of the weirdest ways to get out!!!

John Buchanan sells short story to Aussie quicks | Herald Sun

Quote:

Operation "Get Tendulkar" will be the key plank of Australia's plan for the four-Test series this summer and Buchanan's video analysis of the Indian provides crucial intelligence

Quote:

Buchanan has also noticed the Little Master is often uncomfortable against left-arm pace, even battling against modest left-armers such as West Indian Pedro Collins.

Quote:

Mitchell Johnson has bowled very well to Sachin in the past and I'd expect him to trouble him again with his left-arm variety," Buchanan said.

Iam eagerly waiting to see how Sachin performs against quality bowlers in a pitch that assists fast bowlers as he seeems to be solid nowadays.

diabloo · 28th November 2007, 13:42

Why doubt the caliber of 'The Master'? The question is application. Can he get past 99?
