***Official*** West Indies in India 2013

[Spikey]

Sachin really lucky he isn't facing an on debut attack of Peter George, Adam Dale, Peter Siddle, Cameron White and Nathan Hauritz

the one thing india's ever done right is their timezone, it's better watching cricket from there than it is to watch tests in australia. it's like perth tests all the time

Explains why Mitchell Johnson's record is so good in India.

 

[DingDong]

got my fingers crossed hopefully it will happen

 

[Spikey]

need to ban spikey and ajdud from this thread

did you miss this or something????

A mini collapse tomorrow only for Ash and Sachin to put on a 200 run partnership.

 

[centurymaker]

Regardless of whether he gets out first ball tomorrow or scores 50+, he's brought back to mind what we were missing for so long.

Was shocked initially to see him play at his very best. Didn't think he still had something left in him. Was good viewing. Crowd was amazing as well.

 

[Jono]

Imagine how Vijay felt when the crowd cheered him going out

 

[Jono]

Also how **** was the camera work, didn't even properly show the guard because they were showing chicks in the crowd clapping.

 

[Prince EWS]

Also how **** was the commentary, didn't even properly show the guard because they were showing chicks in the crowd clapping.

I'm never one to stand in the way of a bashing when it comes to the BCCI brown paper bag commentary team, but how was that the commentators' fault?

 

[ajdude]

happened last week too, poor ****.

I wonder how much pressure Sachin is going through at the moment, its his last match, but I really don't think he is being allowed to enjoy it.

I'll happily trade lives with him for the next four days if he likes.

You were too quick for my edit

Yeah listening everyone from people who have nothing to do with cricket to all time greats gushing over his career and his achievements must be so difficult

ok

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very nice little innings this, from Sachin... All I wanted from his last innings was a a few flashes of the real Tendulkar. Hope he gets a big one, but so far, it's not been a disappointment at all

Maybe the pressure is off in a way. He has had so much expectation from a nation for over 20 years and now he knows he doesn't have to do it again after this week, might relax him. He certainly looked better at the crease today than any time in the last couple of years. May be a coincidence and we may never know but he looked bloody good today and I hope he goes big tomorrow.

He was relaxed after scoring a few runs, but the BCCI has completely overhyped the whole thing, the fans would have gone crazy if Sachin would have got out cheaply. The initial 20-25 runs would have been really testing for him.

 

[silentstriker]

Let's all feel sorry for Sachin Tendulkar. He has given so much to cricket and gotten so little in return.

The wheel is back? Come on, post the wheel.
