Is there any explanation for that maiden
Yeah but you're going on like tomorrow is day 5 and a declaration is essential. There's still two days left in the Test!

Let's change the focus a bit.

What do you guys think about the fact that Ishant Sharma scored more than Dhoni, Jaffer and Yuvraj combined? :laugh:

All out, finally. Awkward times ahead.

Must say though, I strongly disagree with Chappell critique of Tendulkar, he been out there for 6 hours today and some 75 overs, it's way to much to ask for him to start hitting boundaries at will, not to mention the 31 run partnership worked out well in the end anyways. If he started charging the ball as soon as Sharma came in he could have been out for a partnership of nothing so things worked out well in the end regardless.

I think as SJS said Ishant will find Lee easier to face than Hogg.
i think sjs was joking...anyway he gets his wish, india get what looks like a reasonable lead of 69...well batted tendulkar, laxman, ganguly, harbhajan and a good job on the slow return to something approaching form by dravid....

the positive that can come out with the way sachin gave strike to sharma...is that he might be little bit high on confidence with the 23 he scored :)

how may over will we get to bowl 10 ???

Ganguly is being overlooked a touch here, his was a very fine innings. Counter-attacked late on day two and then consolidated with Tendulkar after India had lost two wickets, but continued to attack and score quickly. Shame that he couldn't clear the fielder in the end.

with the number 11 .Then why he chose to bat against Hogg and throwing a kid into the front of Brett lee .
Some tail-enders find the ball coming onto the bat quite easy to deal with, rather than poking and proding at the turning ball. Hogg's bamboozled many a batsmen over the years, and Sharma would have been all at sea against him.

Because if the Indian top order batsmen are struggling to read Hogg what chance does a tailender have ?

Besides it's not like Ishant showed he was intimated by Lee.

Last two wickets gave us 187 runs. Tendulkar scored less than half those runs. So instead of crediting Tendulkar in the way he built those two partnerships when some one else would have tried to slog it out and maybe get 50-60 runs off the last two wickets, people start bashing him. It was a partnership of 187 runs for ****s sake. He analysed how well the tail enders could cope and had confidence in the tail enders. Also, he would have been tired (he has been batting the whole day) and don't know whether they could have gone on for 187 runs if Tendulkar kept most of the strike.

Not a convincing explanation .He saved the match ,not denying that .But after taking 150 it was pure crap and struggle to get ''not out '' tag . That was pathetic .

At the end of it ,i salute the man for that great knock .
