Me, obviously. I watch virtually every international cricket match.

Just saw an interview of Sachin on the news where he was with Sunny and he said that 17 years of Cricket has made him tired and he isn't the same player he used to be. But he did mention he is still hungry for runs and won't retire anytime soon. That's good news for me

To be honest, very few players are the same players after playing 17 years of international cricket. With that said, his form needs to improve soon or he will just be clogging up a spot.Dravid said:

Seems like there is no Pathan tomorrow, either VRV Singh or Harbhajan are competing for the last place with Singh currently ahead it would seem on Cricinfo’s preview. Good decision, Pathan’s batting may have been of merit recently but his bowling has been awful and far too much of liability of a bowler of his pace getting carried away with a little bit of bounce and just dropping short and getting killed all day by the likes of Kallis and AB, who were gladly pull someone of his pace with no problems. That’s one of the areas of concern with the Indians tomorrow the likes of Zaheer are not particularly good when dropping short, VRV can get away with it, bowls with a decent lick and looks pretty tall but you need to pitch the balls up to the South Africans, the vast majority of them are concrete feet cricketers and the best way to get rid of them is pitch it up.
Should be a good test match, fancy India to be a challenge and I'm not overly keen on South Africa's batting line up far too many of them are not in form. Could easily be a terrible start again for them tomorrow with Smith and Gibbs opening. Don’t think it would be awful for South Africa if India won the toss tomorrow and decided to bat first.

OK, from now on whenever I make a cricketing comment, always assume I am talking about real cricket, unless I specifically say ODI.Dravid said:

Yea, I think so. And by Singh, it would be VRV Singh, not Harbhajan Singh.Nnanden said:

He has averaged 45 in his last five tests. Why should he be dropped?Dravid said:
