Kohli's 200 will coincide with his 7000th test run.

 

[vcs]

What should be the declaration figure? 550?

 

[vcs]

Nice. Now another 44 for NUFAN's thread and then declare.

kohli triple obviously

 

[StephenZA]

Congrats Kohli. Great double.

Looking at the list of most double centuries in test cricket:
Records | Test matches | Batting records | Most double hundreds in a career | ESPNcricinfo.com

Kohli's got a freaky conversion rate - 0 doubles in the first 40 tests, 7 in the next 41.

It feels like Murali Karthik flubs like half his sentences, get th mic off him. Nice to see Smith pointing it out too.

If Kohli would come down the track now and then to spinners, he'd be an even better batsman IMO. For a man with such quick feet, he could use that to his advantage more.

 

[h_hurricane]

Plenty of Kohli records today.

7th double hundred (most by an indian)
7000 runs
goes past Bradman and Hutton in run aggregates
equals Sobers in test hundreds
most 150s by a captain

If he reaches 230, he would cross 21K international runs as well.

**** me

SA have gone to pieces here.

Muthusamy

 

[StephenZA]

No balls by Muthusamy are beyond criminal... but that is just shocking.

 

[vcs]

Was a pretty big no ball too. Incredibly dumb considering the previous one was called by the umpire, goes and does the exact same thing again.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli rightly pointing out that Muthusamy having 2 test wickets both Kohli's wouldve been a major embarassment.

 

[_00_deathscar]

Haha! They should pile on 50 in the next 5 overs to really punish them for it - it demands it.

 

[harsh.ag]

Another instance of what happens when umpires neglect calling no-balls. Muthusamy would have surely corrected his landing if the earlier ball had been called. Then again, this delivery could have been very different cause of the alternate universe.

Edit: Okay, so it turns out he was called earlier

They were both massive. Umpire probably isnt looking as usual the lazy ****.

It was called... he has been called a few times. No excuses.

It was called a noball. Either way, I dont have much sympathy for spinners tbh.

You amble in off 4 steps and still want to rely on the umpire to tell you whether youre overstepping?
