Surprised no one has mentioned this, but Tendulkar is now only 213 from breaking Lara's all time run scoring record. He won't do it in this Test, but pretty soon I would think.

Considering you spent all of the Perth Test telling us Australia were always going to get over the line, I'm not so sure? :p

Yes, Ind vs. Aus. in 1998, when he scored 446 in a 3 Test series (five innings). I believe that was the series where Warne really got owned.
Not just by Sachin either. Warnie was pumelled by most of the batsmen. That said, and not taking anything away from Sachin, I firmly believe it was the flying start Sidhu gave most Indian innings which allowed Sachin, Azhar, etc. the freedom to dominate. His batting as an attacking opener was awesome and the only thing disappointing about it was that he didn't get a ton (got one 90's and a bunch of half centuries).

Kerry's just advocated McGain for Pakistan if they decide to tour.
Looks like they might not have a choice....MacGill at really long odds to be fit in time and they'll need a second spinner especially with Hogg being ineffective this summer.

No alternative to McGain really...
Wouldnt it be sensational though if one of the 19 year olds (say S Smith) were to take a haul and get picked from nowhere.

I agree.

Great knock by Sachin today - a joy to watch (I'd write more, but its too late). Tomorrow morning's session to decide the outcome of the test for mine...

Yeah great knock from SRT, the champion seems to be at his imperial best atm, for me it was a pretty good day of test cricket, Australia would have had the upper-hand if they could have holded on to their chances, anyways as you said morning session tomorrow might very well decide the fate of this game.

Saw the highlights of the day while I was at the pub tonight. What a shocker of an attempt of a catch from Gilchrist. Guy should give up imo. Bringing the team down. Average of 30 since the '05 ashes and has had a shocker with the gloves in the current series.

If I was Ponting I'd be pushing Hayden to 2nd slip and moving to first so I could sledge Gilchrist.

A lot of people said that about the Perth test match and then Australia were bowled out for 212 in less than a day.

Sidhu's contribution in that series was so crucial. It is often forgotten and am glad that you remember it.

Aussies don't sledge - surely?

I thought that it was 'mental disintegration'.

I wouldn't say that he was at his very best, but still damn good.
