*Official* Australia in India 2010

[Burgey]

Sachin brings it up with a six! WAFG

Only right he should channel Phil Hughes there when he was in the 90s.

 

[howardj]

We're still 250 runs in front......

been dying to use that line though.

I believe Sachin has now scored at least 1 century in every Aussie tour bar 1996 ( 1 off test) and the 04 series when he was coming back from an injury. Awesome.

You're also 8 wickets away from keeping it that way so the work has yet to be done.

This must nbe frustrating for Ausdtralia. India are very light on batting other than Sachin and Sehwag. One is out, and Rahul, out of form. Yet Sachin is standing between it all.

If he had gone Australia could easily have ran through pujara, raina and dhoni.

His record vs Australia is unbelievable. Especially over 20+ years.

Indeed, point is though, despite this being a very good partnership, we're anything but out of the game.

Ya if they broke the partnership earlier, they would have probably secured a 200+ lead.. but

It's more frustrating knowing that Vijay was dropped tbh.

Draw looks the most likely from here frankly.

Today ?

Yeah but the point is that there's still a looooong way to go for India. They need to score 250 more just to meet the Aussie total, let alone getting a lead. All it takes is one bad shot/good ball and that total looks a whole lot worse. Suspect Vijay is feeding off Sachin a bit, as would the rest of the order.

The longer Sachin is out there, the worse it looks for OZ but if they nab him any time in the next session, they'll be far more confident.

 

[Johnners]

Today ?

Yesterday, off Hauritz.

 

[Dissector]

Incidentally Sachin is at 11 hundreds against Australia, one less than Jack Hobbs' record of 12. He has played 10 fewer tests against them than Hobbs as well.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Doug: "Did you know that Sachin is actually Australian? This is proven by the fact that his name is an anagram of "Echidna lurks - ant!" We claim his genius as our own. But seriously, well done Sachin - you are not just India's hero - you are cricket's hero"

What nonsense.

Its actually Endhiran Ska Cult.

TBF, he only played 2 tests in the 2004 series as well... Just an awesome player... OTOH, how about Laxman Vs Aus in the series he played? Believe it was only 2004 that he didn't score a century too..


India Australia series recently have become a bit more of a batathon though, to put things in perspective.. Punter has been going great against us as well and I think Hayden too, except for the tour last time...

Hell yeah.. Sachin = Rajini of Cricket, tbh..

yes I know which is why I don't mind him not being able to score in 04.

Nah, not really frustrating when you can't get rid of one of the best batsmen ever.

And, Kamal = Gavaskar?
