Hundred for Sachin.... well done
Now to get that score close to 250..

 

[Jono]

Well played Sachin. Love you so much.

 

[irfan]

Fantastic Sachin - 12 more tons before your career is done please. Lead against Ponting back out to 5.

Hope the Shaq picks up a fifer

 

[Prince EWS]

Its ****ing stupid to go into the match on a pitch like this with one spinner. Ojha could have played. Now I guess Sehwag should bowl a lot of overs. Big turner of the ball so no hope lost.

Nah I think it was the right move, even though it's turning. Obviously I would've played two if Harbhajan was fit, but Bangladesh are a lot weaker against genuine pace than they are against left arm spin of the same general quality for obvious reasons. There's also the fact that playing three quicks on a turning surface gives you a five-man attack, because Sehwag's a really useful bowler on turners. If you'd played two spinners Sehwag's bowling would have been pretty irrelevant and you would've had no third seamer.

 

[Howsie]

This is some piss poor bowling from Shahadat with the field up.

 

[R_D]

All over... Shakib gets 5 wickets.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, god that was a bad shot from Sreesanth. When he first came onto the scene he looked like he had a bit of batting ability but he's looked horrid for a while now.

 

[Jono]

Yeah Sree in 2006 could bad. I was just saying he should have batted higher than Ishant, and he does that.

****.

 

[NUFAN]

i don't even want to respond to the platitudes(bolded above)...the brutal reality is that their win came against severely depleted zimbabwe and west indian sides masquerading as national teams...and the fact that they would have lost against a close to full-strength team from either side....

That's not fact, you have no idea what would have happened.

You sound so patronising. Please never speak this way of Ireland if the only tests they win in 60-odd attempts are against such embarrassing sides. It'll be humiliating.

I don't know why you always bring up 52 losses/60 attempts. I'm not saying Bangladesh have been an excellent team forever. It's just lately, they have been improving and it irks me when people completely ignore Bangladesh.

Anyways India all out for 243. Looking forward to Bangladesh's innings.

 

[Kylez]

Hopefully Bangladesh can bat well here or atleast for a full day.

Didn't Tendulakar get like dropped on 15? it could of been even better for Bangladesh.

 

[Prince EWS]

Rank bad over from Zaheer; deserved what it got.

 

[NUFAN]

Awesome first over Tamim.

Redbacks yeah Sachin got dropped at around 15. He definitely got missed in his 70s too

 

[NZ Guy]

Was dropped on 16 I believe, by kayes I think

 

[KingViv]

He was dropped on 16 also: an edge to slip dropped after a diving effort, if my memory is accurate.

Man I wish I had Setena sports, can you just order the single channel ( setana ) on Fox?

Yeah you actually have to order Setanta from Setanta - you can do it online on Setanta's website with the PIN on your Foxtel card and your credit card; it's instant. The best thing is you can cancel it at any time without any additional fees, so you can just give it the axe when the series finishes if you like and then pick it up again next time there's cricket on. I've become too lazy to keep cancelling it but it's a legitimate option.

 

[R_D]

Better over from Zaheer..
Does anyone if they have Review system in this series or not ?

No they aren't using it, and thanks for the help prince.
