Looks like he's checking Haydos' oil levels. Seems right because the man is a MACHINE.

So excited. Is the weather fine? Does anybody know what commentators are likely to be doing it for Sky being broadcast to NZ?

Hoping the debate can remain civil. Great to see a poster like JackPot around too, hope you stay, man.

Exactly my thoughts, welcome to CW Jack, hope to see you around for a long time.

Currently, Sky Cricket [ the one i know of , that comes in England] have a team of Ian Botham, David Gower, David Lloyd, Paul Allott, Nasser Hussain, Mike Atherton, Michael Holding, Bob Willis and Nick Knight covering live England internationals at home and abroad.

I do not know about who exactly or how many of these will be working on the Gavaskar x Border Trophy.

 

[JackPot]

India have not won a test match in Bangalore in the last 13 years.

During this period, India played six test matches losing four of them. Two of these defeats are at the hands of Aussies.

If Rahul Dravid comes to bat at his regular slot of #3, he will be the first batsman in that position to have played 100 test matches.

 

[JackPot]

The last six decisive tests between India and Australia have been won by the team that won the toss.

Haha, love the background. It's an 'ard life........unless you're Matt Hayden.

Has been one of my favourite cricketers ever, who has always kept his team ahead of himself, good work on your part Jack Pot to dig up something like that.

Yeah can see the same thing happening here, toss is vital for both the teams, whoever wins the toss surely would like to bat first and pile on the runs.

It not only due to the way he plays, i like his mental toughness of his game more, he has moulded himself as a player in any way the Indian team has wanted, he has kept wickets, Captained the team, opened the innings for them test matches, sometimes demoted himself to no.6 in test cricket, and still he has succeeded most of the times and has been consistent in all the conditions when even the other Indian batsmen have failed.

i think he is the only batsmen of current era that has better batting average outside india than at home...
