Well if you're suggesting that Tendulkar has one eye on the draw....Playing for the draw on Day 1 of a test match is very, very dangerous cricket.
No, I am suggesting that right now, this innings is good for India. If all overs are bowled, there will be a result in this game IMO. And India have plenty of time, so their main focus is to bat for as long as possible.Well if you're suggesting that Tendulkar has one eye on the draw....Playing for the draw on Day 1 of a test match is very, very dangerous cricket.
Its not Tendulkar's job to entertain you. And its irrelevant how entertaining he was 10 years ago.I dont care if India wins the series, I would rather like to watch good cricket.
This is not a great inning by any stretch. We are 4 down <300 and another wicket and your fav. Captain Dhoni will be on the crease. So all the talk of 560 is history now.It is irrelevant how badly a person is batting, because as long as he is batting, this is a great innings from India. And I still don't understand how 2.70 run rate for a partnership is closing up shop for a draw or something.
LOL! Gotta love inside AFL jokes, even if unintentional
"Collingwood getting the ball to wobble"
It is whether England can get a few wickets with the new ball or can India survive the dicey period with the new ball.The big question now I think is will they get three hundred by the end of the day.
I know he is playing for India and with this kind of play, he isn't really doing a half decent job. I dont care how how good he once was, I dont live in history.Its not Tendulkar's job to entertain you. And its irrelevant how entertaining he was 10 years ago.
FFS, I hate this "Oh he's just tarnishing his image since he's not as good as he once was"
He's playing for India for Christ's sake. He's not playing for his image, his record, his reputation in some random forum member's eyes. He's playing for the team.
Thankfully, unlike the other batsman who were so so entertaining but are now back in the pavillion, Tendulkar is still around.This is not a great inning by any stretch. We are 4 down <300 and another wicket and your fav. Captain Dhoni will be on the crease. So all the talk of 560 is history now.
It is time for Tendulkar to get out and Dhoni to come in.New ball, if India survive this, it will have been a very good day for them.
