Ha Ha dire.

 

[IndGunner]

100 is up run rate just below 3, 35 overs in

 

[duffer]

Some gorgeous shots so far from Sachin. Great 50.

 

[alternative]

Awesome 50 that.

 

[Precambrian]

Good innings by Tendulkar. Utilised the fielders being in attacking positions, and no wonder his 50 is studded with 8 fours.

 

[Mister Wright]

Tendulkar makes even watching a 50 with the cricinfo.com scorecard entertaining.

 

[Precambrian]

Gambhir seems to have lost momentum. I think he's waiting for the inevitable spinner.

 

[Precambrian]

This is a very poor over-rate for Australia. Not sure what Ponting is thinking.

At this rate, Aus would struggle to get the new ball before the scheduled close of play

<3 Sachin.

 

[Precambrian]

Spinner in. Straightaway agression from GG.

You mean medium pacer.

On that note, has anyone ever been simply classified as slow or slow-medium? I think I can recall back in the day on channel 9 that S. Law and possibly M. Mott were tagged as slow-medium.

Good 50 Gambhir. That's what you expect of your openers in test cricket!

 

[gettingbetter]

Gambhir takes his career average above 40. Don't think we'll see the likes of Jaffer, Kathik, Pathan, Chopra etc for a while.

 

[Precambrian]

Hard fought 50. Go get a 100!

 

[Jono]

is that why we don't see you around that regularly here?

Partly. More-so recently being elected pres of the Melb Uni Law Students' Society. Takes up a **** load of your time, more so than I imagined.

****, that seems late. All the best with it. This is your last year, right?

Heh, its my 4th years of what is technically a 5 year degree, but because of ex-curricular commitments I've underloaded and will finish half-way 2010, and then possibly do an extra Honours year in my Commerce degree.

I may not enter the workforce until 2012.

That's without ever taking a year off as well lol.

 

[IndGunner]

Gambhir has played well must say not the most pleasing to watch but happy to see he has the patience its always promising ((and he shares the same first name as me, which is always good))

Whats going on here

did we just have a 7 bowl over??

43.7 Clark to Tendulkar, no run, comes forward and drives this ball straight to midwicket
43.6 Clark to Tendulkar, no run, gets back to drive off the back foot and mistimes the shot
43.5 Clark to Tendulkar, FOUR, thats a flowing on drive, leans into it and beats the fielders
43.4 Clark to Gambhir, 1 run, short on the body, he turns it off his ribcage, Lee fields at fine leg
Haddin goes back now ...
43.3 Clark to Gambhir, no run, on the stumps, comes back in, tucked to the on side
43.2 Clark to Gambhir, no run, comes forward and plays this straight to the fielder
43.1 Clark to Gambhir, no run, good length, going away, and he shoulders arms
Gambhir has changed his bat, by the way.
