Because batting with a concussion is an intelligent course of action every doctor recommends.

Do the research.
Wasn't there a hand injury or something? I can't recall tbh.
He missed a test after he was hit on the bicep fielding at short leg. No doubt it was painful as, but if he'd really have wanted it he'd have played. Soft tissue injury and all.

Bloke's a douche. Big nosed douche at that.

Anyway, very good day for India. Kudos especially to Ashwin, who bowled very well and kept an attacking line more or less throughout. Still reserve judgements about his action, but, in fairness, it was only the second worst we saw today.

I'd make it 85/15 India.

way to flog the dead horse.. More than enough people have argued why what you think is not necessarily the true picture, but people can check out the India in England threads if they are interested.

Lol are you getting annoyed by someone flogging a dead horse? You can't be serious.

So what odds an Indian win and Tendulkar ton tomorrow?
0.8 -india wins

tendulkar goes on to score a hundred roughly 1 in 6 times from here in the 4th innings. The fact that he's going to have to score quickly also has to be taken into consideration.

Hence, I'd say 1 in 10.

Odds approximation- (of an indian win and tendulkar 100)
0.8 * 0.1 = 0.08

less than 10% chance.

wow almost all of tendulkar's 4th innings 33+ scores have come in the last 12 years. (in 2 patches from 99 to 03, and 06/07 till now)

Well he's avg'd 49 in the 4th innings since Jan 1999. :-O
must've been dud in the 4th innings in his younger days...(career 4th innings avg = 39)

In the 90's most of the home wickets used to be extremely low scoring(Turners we don't see now) in the 4th innings, tbf or either there won't be a big total to chase. While in away games most of the time the match had been lost by then.

Also, Azhar used to win a ****load of tosses in home games. So we batted 4th very very rare.

Neither the number of times batted last nor the total required have any affect on the blokes average if the truth be told.
well, it doesn't if you just look at it as a math equation but the way I see it, he had less opportunities to get the big scores...

Live Bull**** from Mr Ravi Shastri :

Dravid ducks comfortably under a bouncer and this dialogue takes place . . .

Bishop : Ravi how is it that these two (SRT and RD) are able to play the short pitched bowling so much better than other Indian batsmen (not exact words)

Ravi : Well thats clear Bishop, these two work very hard on their game and their technique is solid. They will both play forward, firmly forward. Look how they plonk their front foot forward immediately then with the front foot firmly planted and the steady head they are able to play or leave the ball unlike the others who stay rooted onto the back foot and find themselves in trouble. (not exact words)

and this man is makes millions as a cricket expert :-O:-O:-O
