*Official* West Indies in India

[Athlai]

Two options to get this record out of our way:

1) Give IPL matches international status, so that Tendulkar has 100 international tons
2) illegitimize one of his hundreds, bring him down to 98, then he will easily get a ton. Legitimize that hundred back again.

3) 200 in an ODI? That counts double.

And Sammy, GTFO

 

[Prince EWS]

That was pathetically bad from Dhoni. 950/5 is usually his kind of situation to come in at, too.

 

[Xuhaib]

haha... that's brutal.

 

[Athlai]

So gun to see India in danger of having to follow on.

Lol Dhoni

I hope Windies win this. Would teach people to focus on the game itself rather than stupid numbers.

On a flat pitch, cheating the top Indian bowler, described as a bowlers' mortuary by cricinfo, India have just lost three wickets for under fifty runs. Maybe it is time they re-evaluate their roster and strategies for flat decks? They have been weak on flat decks, but now look a lot more vulnerable. They just don't seem to learn...

 

[Days of Grace]

Sammy, despite everyone saying he is just a bits and pieces player with not much talent, is still averaging under 30 with the ball...

He's just a clever, no-nonsense bowler. Players underestimate him and play stupid shots. Happens time after time.

 

[Dissector]

Well at least it wasn't Sammy who got Tendulkar on 94. Thank the cricket gods for small mercies.

Sammy has clearly emerged as the Andrew Symonds of test bowling....

 

[Faisal1985]

Enough already Sachin.

Assuming India avoid the follow on, it will be the first chance we'll get to see how aggresive sammy as a captain really is. I'm hoping he can set a chasable target tbh... There's not much difference between 2-0 and 3-0 but there's a huge confidence boost to be gained from beating India in India, dead rubber or not.

If they do avoid it (not certain since this is a long tail) I can't see Sammy setting anything less than 350+ on this pitch.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Ashwin's handling himself pretty well out there.

 

[nsniks]

These two are dealing in boundaries. Go Kohli

 

[Jono]

Nah, Kohli always had this.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ashwin's handling himself pretty well out there.

Yeah, Ashwin can seriously bat. His domestic performances have hinted at the potential to develop into perhaps even a little bit better than a typical Test #8.

 

[Contra]

He's got a un-tailender like technique, that's for sure.

Praveen - Bhajji - Ashwin.. would like to see that sort of tail sometime in the future.

Fletcher must be wetting himself at the thought of having Giles ver 2.0 at his disposal.

 

[Jono]

nah Bhajji can gagf
