*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

[taipan1]

Chennai 2008 mate.

Probably best not to base your opinions on Wisden articles from over 5 years ago.

Jeez one in about 170 tests. What a record.

 

[Sir Alex]

So how many actual match winning innings has SRT played?

Wisden reckons none.

Same WISDEN called him the best ever batsman since Don.

 

[Sir Alex]

Yipee............series leveled.....

Can see potential bevan in raina....Too early though.....

:No way not in tests!

Doesn't make him a match winning batsman.

VVS!!!!



Absolute legend. No better man in a crisis. I love him so much.

 

[Sir Alex]

Avatar bet anyone? I predict an Indian win tomorrow.. unless play is called off before a result can be enforced due to rain/etc...Loser to sport avatar till end of tri series. Anyone interested?

I'll take that bet.

Will get you one before the day ends.

Who was more critical to this win, Sehwag for his run a ball 1st innings ton, which gave us time, or Laxman's brilliant 5th day ton?

 

[Sir Alex]

Doesn't make him a match winning batsman.

Today's innings was a matchwinning innings sunshine. Add to that the unbeated 53 against Pakistan in 2007 winter. Plus of course the sterling 100* against England. Well, almost everytime we have had to chase anything of note in the 4th innings in the last few years, he has come good.

Haha,

Mithun and Co's resistance which gave us the lead imho

But VVS ton by a country mile and half.

Pressure knocks win matches.

Laxman's clearly.

Team effort. Sehwag's 100 in the first innings, Laxman's hundred, Sachin's 50, the tail's efforts in the first innings, Sehwag's and the other spinners' spell on the 3rd innings etc.

 

[Sir Alex]

4th innings performance is not the only criteria to judge playing under pressure.

BTW Laxman averages what in the 4th innings?

Thats right Francois.

Hey dude whats your problem....yes Sachin is not a Match winner .....What now....Stop trolling...

 

[taipan1]

4th innings performance is not the only criteria to judge playing under pressure.

No?

Most would say it is the most important criterion though.

 

[Sir Alex]

No?

Most would say it is the most important criterion though.

What does Laxman average in the 4th innings? Before this 100, after as well...

Saying Laxman has more BMT than SRT is trolling? It's an opinion.

Get real.

Those same nobodies on the interwebz, yes, you do have a point.
