Boy, Sehwag! Hope he doesn't go after everything.

 

[M0rphin3]

Steyn bowling so slow since the last test, dunno why.

 

[Cevno]

From cricinfo commentary:

Kallis now has 389 runs in the series - his highest in a three-match series.​

Umm, what would be the records for Tendulkars, Pontings, Dravids, Sangakkaras?

Ponting - 523(he played 3 out of 4 tests) or 515

Dravid - 433(played only 4 innings) or 432 in 2 tests with 3 innings.

Tendulkar - 446( 5 innings)

Sangakkara - 467

Lara - 688

Another four to Sehwag. Now you've got two for the over, Sehwag - please don't lose your head.

 

[Teja.]

Sehwag

 

[BoyBrumby]

He'll never die wondering, will he?

Swallowed that tho, always two there.

Ah, you went and really dug it out! Thanks, man.

 

[Xuhaib]

Morne in rubbish mode

 

[Cevno]

why is everyone bowling slow in this game?

Pitch is slower.

 

[Contra]

Sehwag cool it man. We need you for the long haul. I really don't want Dravid coming in early. Never thought I'd say something like that..

 

[Prince EWS]

Pitch is slower.

 

[Daemon]

Wonder what sort of conversations Gavaskar and Sehwag would have if they batted together

 

[Cevno]

 

[Teja.]

Steyn will probs get Sehwag freeing his arms against a ball seaming away.

 

[Prince EWS]

Bowling speed is measured from the hand before it bounces. Unless you think that the bowlers decide they'll bowl slower because the pitch is slower, it doesn't make any sense.

Gavaskar: Watch the ball, judge the length, get in line with the ball, head still, bring bat down straight, hit the ball.

Sehwag: Cut it to two steps. Watch the ball, hit the ball

 

[Blaze 18]

Woah, Sehwag's leaving deliveries. Calm before the storm ?

 

[Teja.]

Just let Gamby block Steyn tbh. Dying of tension here, whenever Steyn bowls to Sehwag.

It is measured till point of contact if i am not wrong.

Usually on slower pitches for some reason the speeds come are slower for some reason.
And not only this match i have noticed it throughout.

Morkel is huge, isn't he ? Gambhir looks like a little kid next to him.
