Was saying he was abused by Lilee and the fielders and cited that as the reason for dragging the other guy off the field, and not the LBW decision itself. Yet, in the footage you can clearly see him gesturing wildly with his bat at the team manager when he got to the boundary :p
So a kind of grudging half-arsed concession then...

Vijay WAG!

Wasn't keen on him at all a year and half ago when he got recalled but he's turned pretty good now.

Gavaskar basically becoming a tail ender when Lillee bowled is why he can't be rated in the truly top echelon of all time opening batsmen. Did well here on the 77-78 and 85-86 tours when we had joke attacks riven by WSC and Rebel Tour defections. That aside, he was a liability here, which means he's cod ordinary.

Murali Vijay >>>>>>>> Gavaskar in Australia.

Love Vijay's composure at the crease....a real old-fashion batsman from yesteryear.

Well played son!

I went from being a total non-believer to a big fan right after his first innings in South Africa. He only got around 30 off, but left the ball absolutely superbly against Steyn in the first session.

You'd expect a score higher than 87 by an opener in 80 years.
Well, not really. Say Australia bats in half of them, then you've got a whole heap of pre 1990 or so tests where teams would go all day and be 3/190 or 200 at stumps. Good knock though, the SMarsh fail notwithstanding.
