Fletcher must be wetting himself at the thought of having Giles ver 2.0 at his disposal.

seems a better bowler then Giles but then every one is.

 

[G.I.Joe]

nah Bhajji can gagf

Yeah, on the evidence so far, he seems to be better at both disciplines.

 

[sunilreddy]

Ashwin is doing his very best to keep Bajji out of the team, picking up wickets, scoring runs at good pace. Loving it.

106.3 Bishoo to Ashwin, SIX, defends this legstump ball to the leg side
~ cricinfo


Ashwin has a mighty defence.

 

[ankitj]

Follow on saved. yay!

 

[ankitj]

Ashwin's average > Kohli's

Comments, Jono?

Good of Tendulkar to pay tribute to Bradman by getting out on 94 when on 99 hundreds.

Haha, nice. Really feel bad for Sachin and the fans though. Can't even imagine how he must have felt after that shot.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd he missed out again? Getting ridiculous.

Mind you I'd settle for one of our top four to bat like he has been even if there's no ton forthcoming.

 

[Spark]

Surely this pitch is as deserving of a report, if not more, than the Galle deck.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

lololololololol


o!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Surely this pitch is as deserving of a report, if not more, than the Galle deck.

Yeah, part of me is glad the ploy to help Sachin over the line failed. Dreadful pitch.

^ Should read .......tribute to Bradman while sitting on 99 hundreds by getting out for 94 (pedantic much)

 

[Zinzan]

Two options to get this record out of our way:

1) Give IPL matches international status, so that Tendulkar has 100 international tons
2) illegitimize one of his hundreds, bring him down to 98, then he will easily get a ton. Legitimize that hundred back again.

3) 200 in an ODI? That counts double.

4) The Indian board to bribe NZ's board into preparing some more tenpin bowling strips for an Impromptu Test series

 

[Turbinator]

Well played Ashwin

 

[Turbinator]

Haha, Ojha must dread coming in to bat at 11 by now.

Ah! Thanks for the link Ankit. An almost forgotten match, but the hype and drama the day before the match was immense, IIRC.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Ashwin>Bradman. Clearly. Yeah I know the joke will probably have been made several more times by the time I post this.

EDIT: wow, already out of date. Ashwin falls from glory.
