Gambhir dropped!

Off thigh, but given the quality of umpiring, it would probably have been given.

 

[irfan]

Anyone hear the sledging?

"These are the last two batsmen they have. You hear that Yuvi?"

That's actually very good.

Lolz. Would have been better timing if one of these two got out and Laxman was in

 

[Sanz]

Sachin is just on a level above anyone else. Amazing.

How good is Tendulkar going?

Don't jinx please. We can discuss this after the game is over ?

Btw How awesome was Dravid's inning ? some 37 overs for his 62 runs. . I would be frustrated like hell If I were an NZ fan.

What's with the ridiculous background noise? Sounds like a bunch of kids playing.

 

[silentstriker]

Tendulkar just seems to be playing a different game. Right off the middle of the bat, great placement.

 

[Jono]

Sublime Sachin!!!

 

[alternative]

Where you watching the game from Jono? Stream or what?

Just the Kiwis sledging. The loud and cranky one's probably McCullum.

 

[Flem274*]

I'd like to see a greentop next test, O'Brien, Martin, Franklin, Ishant, Zaheer and Munaf would cause chaos.

 

[Flem274*]

I see Calkin is the sub fielder? (radio seems to think so). Bats, bowls and wicketkeeps, pity he's probably just going to be a bits and pieces allrounder.

No, its a bunch of kids playing near the boundary, go figure.

 

[duffer]

Wow, due to work and going to the F1 qualies yesterday I managed to miss all the match till now. Probably a good thing. Kiwis just one wicket away from running through this side. Can't see us saving this without an assist from the weather.

You haven't seen this pitch. They've lost 1 wicket today.

NZ can still win this, but draw favourite here now.

 

[biased indian]

Starting to love the batting of gambhir

Ah, was looking at the SR's really when making my call. Nice to see Gambhir has morphed into an Indian Kirsten all of a sudden

Just hope I haven't jinxed him.

A tad negative given the pitch, and India's batting today.

 

[duffer]

Seeing as though I havent seen either I guess a bit of leeway is in order?

would say draw is just coming into the picture ..have a feeling that bowlers are tireing a little bit martin with second new ball was in the 130-132 range,,,while in first inngs he was consistently touching 140

 

[Flem274*]

This pitch is a piece of ****e. Ironically only that bowling firepower England have forced a result here in the last few tests.

I still think we will win, we should win with two days at them for Gods sake, but as a bowler its getting depressing. Need some swing, come on, start swinging ya bastard.

How long till the new ball?

India batting awesomely here, its flat but still, the cocentration required to bat under pressure to save this test, if they manage it, well done.

 

[adharcric]

Love it, great stuff Gautam.
