***Official*** West Indies in India 2013

[centurymaker]

Idk why everyone is saying that Kohli's the one who's going to take over the mantle of India's best player when Rohit Sharma is around.

Pujara = Dravid
Sharma = Tendulkar (as in the person who's going to come closest to Tendulkar from the trio)
Kohli = Laxman imo in tests.

 

[Maximas]

Kohli's the only one who has passed the overseas test as yet, hard to speculate about these things until next year with all the away tests

That would explain why I'm liking Pujara so much

He's hit and miss atm. His technique is not tight enough yet. He's sort of like a young Ponting. Hopefully he'll get better.

9 to go Ash. Do it.

 

[Riggins]

that might be the worst shot of the year.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

If Tino got out now before stumps who agrees you send out another night watchman?

 

[Furball]

what's the highest anybody's ever averaged at any point in test cricket?

IIRC Ian Bell came into the 2005 Ashes with an average of around 300.

edit:270 seems familiar.

 

[Riggins]

Yes Tino.

297 ave, at the end of that series he was on 42.
EDIT: I din' know that, he must have had such hope surrounding his career at that point

 

[Riggins]

that's a bad decision.

 

[Shri]

that might be the worst shot of the year.

Hold on to that thought. Sammy's yet to bat.

 

[Shri]

Sharad Pawar booed when he was on camera.

 

[Riggins]

and that one actually looked out.

 

[Riggins]

on replay absolutely dead.

 

[Shri]

****ty umpiring throughout the series.

 

[Shri]

That was a superb ball. Go Ash.

 

[The Sean]

what's the highest anybody's ever averaged at any point in test cricket?

Lawrence Rowe averaged 336 during his second Test.

 

[The Sean]

A strange irony - on virtually every single day I've ever looked at Cricinfo, one of the three names on the "most searched" list has been Sachin Tendulkar.

Today, having just been dismissed in what will almost certainly be his final Test innings, the three most searched names are Dravid, Bradman and Kallis. All being searched as comparisons perhaps?

Either way, farewell Sachin. A fine innings to sign off an extraordinary career. The most complete and - IMO - the greatest batsman of my lifetime.

 

[Singh Is King]

West Indies are so bad, bowling wise not to bad.

Think I read somewhere they have not won an away test series apart from Zimbabwe and Bangladesh since 1995.

Nice words "The Sean". Will feel so strange knowing he will never play again considering hes beenplaying for 24 years!
The future is in good hands I feel with Kohli, Pujara and Sharma.
