**Official** India in Bangladesh Thread

What are you going to do ? spank them ?

TBF they'd deserve it given their current position!

LOL!

Congratulations to Kumble. What an achievement. The old warrior, what a fighter. Great to see him succeeding.

Who would you back to take more wickets on a green track? Shane Warne or Damien Martyn?

An irrelevant comparison because Warne is a better spinner than either of those 2, and Martyn is a complete no-no with the ball, whereas Ganguly is not.

Yay, the thread is finally stickied - about 7 hours after the first ball was due to be bowled of the Test series.

I'm not sure the mods are appreciative of that attitude - they all have lives to lead as well as keeping this place in order.

 

[Richard]

I wasn't being entirely serious, you know.
I fully understand the delay - but nonetheless the thread could have been topped a day or so ago.

IMO Martyn is just as good as Ganguly with the ball.

76/3 now. Not quite encouraging

 

[Adamc]

Ghambir runout after hitting three consecutive fours.

 

[Adamc]

Tendulkar dropped on 28, easy chance apparently.

Tendulkar dropped on 28, easy chance apparently.

He must be looking in good nick at the moment, although they are not showing the game here in NZ.

Bangladesh's star spinner has just come on with the score at 87/3

 

[shaka]

The little master is just short of yet another 50 to add to his collection, lunchtime score: 102/3

 

[James90]

I've been waiting to see Tapash, Mashrafe and Rafique bowling together...I hope they perform

 

[a massive zebra]

Oh my word India in deep trouble against Bangla what on earth is going on

 

[Jono]

Go Sachin go. Seems to be his day, since cricinfo says he was dropped twice.

 

[Pratters]

Tendulkar has looked very solid while ganguly has basically sucked. Ganguly has looked so sloppy.

Tendulkar movies into the 90s with a good four.

 

[Pratters]

Another four of the very next ball!

Tendulkar has signed a movie?

 

[Pratters]

With Tendulkar on 96, they bring Gavaskar right back into the commentary box. Good thinking ESPN!

 

[Pratters]

Ganguly has hit three fours and is looking good now. Has had his earlier luck and is making the most of it.

Another 4 by Ganguly ..

9 boundaries in last 5 overs by India..

Bravo Sachin

Becomes third batsman to score centuries against all test countries after S.R.Waugh and G.Kirsten.
