That line of reasoning is complete bollocks. It was then, and it is now. I want to get the right result in the match, and one decided by players, not old guys with hats.

Agree. But Indians might just feel being square after Sydney. Still, the errors are glaring.

Yeah I know and have said it plenty of times before, but just responding to TC that the Aussies would complain about it afterwards when they were so staunchly in favour of it after the Sydney match.

Congrats to Ganguly as well. 7k is a great effort.

Awww, no fireworks for Ganguly?

Congrats on Ganguly for making 7000 runs. Solid effort mate

Which of the Aussie team said that? I don't remember, myself. If they did, well, you're right.

I remember a Mike Hussey interview where he said exactly that and that it was a view endorsed by the team. And Symonds was pretty smug about the whole thing in his post day interview after he got the century.

Ganguly and Bradman.....both chokers when on 6996 runs.

I think you'll find that it's not the Australians who continuously dredge up ancient history

Happened this year mate. Hardly ancient

Yes, I remember him saying that.

Saurav has been quite good in this innings.

Except when he got stumped.

Quite amazing there are three Indians with 10000+ Test runs yet their team results have been pretty ordinary over the course of their careers.

Look at Indian bowling averages during that time. Bowlers win matches.

Ultimate defensive stuff from Australia. 3 men on boundary on leg side for Ganguly. Crap really. To say cliche, Ponting is waiting for something to happen rather trying to make it happen.

Dare I say it, White bowling well? Certainly not giving them anything to hit, the one Sachin hit over mid-off he had to leave his crease for. Just what was needed from his end, really.

Is there one Indian test bowler with a sub-30 avg than Kumble? That says a story, doenst it?

They are still going at 3.8 over the last ten, but White is doing his part.

Kapil. That's pretty much it.

Why is everyone trying to make Mitchell Johnson look like Glenn McGrath? Crazy wafts.

A mediocre article by Cricinfo's Christian Ryan tries to further that insane comparison.

Good half century. Fifty 50s. He needs to make a century.

1st 50 in 10 innings for Tendulkar. It seems he needed Australia to do his scoring.
