***Official*** South Africa in India

I did mean number of balls, but hitting 300 in a day, especially back then on dodgy pitches, is pretty astonishing in itself.

Let's hope Dravid gets his 10,000 runs soon so he can cut loose a bit.

How is the Light any chnace of play being called off soon

 

[duffer]

When should India be looking at declaring, lunchtime tomorrow?

Depends how fast they can score. They'd want to be ahead by 150ish to feel like they can force a result IMO.

Obviously Rahul batting out maidens isn't what we need.

Bradman himself said the dodgy pitches thing was pretty much a myth. He said you'd get the odd sticky wicket but they'd mainly be great for batting on.

It's a disgrace that Dravid is playing for a milestone and not the team's cause.

no..if we are not all out...will say 4 overs after tea with a lead around 200

 

[duffer]

To be fair to Rahul he's tried to play shots but keeps hitting the fielders.

 

[Googenheim]

How does one figure Dravid's playing for the milestone? Was he playing for it in Australia too where he struggled big time?

Yeah personal milestones - a reason why Lara's 400 didn't really mean much to me.

 

[Craig]

Does Cricinfo do some form of highlight package? Probably be you tubed as well.

 

[paddy11]

300 !!!

 

[biased indian]

Only Bradman and Lara have scored two triple-centuries in Test cricket.

its a nice group to be in

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

300 for Sehwag.

 

[Jono]

Sehwag you absolute gun.

Amazing to do it twice.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Dull way to bring it up tbh.

 

[Nutter]

He's done it! Man no nervous 90's for this guy.

 

[_Ed_]

Wonder how long he can keep this up, it's not like a declaration is coming soon.

 

[duffer]

Incredible. Take a bow Viru. Magnificent stuff. Get to stumps and go for the World Record tommorow.

 

[sideshowtim]

Well done Sehwag! You legend! Great stuff!
