SRT - How many runs left?

[smash84]

Deonarine will also make him his bitch when Tendulkar comes on for a bowl at some point as part of his farewell

No way he is not scoring at least one hundred in the series. This will be another Sydney 04.

Can't see it - he ain't no Steve Waugh

He's not even Steve Smith these days. And I'm being 100% serious.

. This will be another Sydney 04.

He's going to play like renowned selfish one-gear Kallis and bore the **** out of me?

I kid... Wouldn't mind if he got a boring, scrappy hundred. I want to see one more ton no matter how bad it is. Just one more raise of that ridiculously wide bat

Edit: just realised he'll raise the bat if he gets to fifty... So two more in one innings, please

The amount of runs he scores now is almost immaterial to be honest. He is literally the Tony Blair of cricket (i.e. everyone's darling early on, experienced immense levels of popularity, began to fall from grace, but prolonged his tenure purely for the sake of massaging his own ego, and will ultimately be remembered for this rather than anything else he achieved. Though some shameless, and brainless, fans will continue to crow about how wonderful he was)

Considering his last domestic innings I think he will make a 70 in 1 innings. A 10-20 run innings and an unbeaten 50 while chasing and winning in Mumbai. Its going to be incredible no matter what happens.

So who is his Gordon Brown, and indeed his Peter Mandelson?

Wow.

 

[Ray.]

200+ runs.
First post btw!

Ganguly is probably Gordon Brown. A charmless man who would strop if he didn't get his own way, was hard to warm to, and always in the Shadow of those around him despite supposedly holding a higher office.

Not sure about Mandelson, will require some thought.

Don't worry, as you yourself said, he has billions of shameless, brainless fans... I'm sure they'll make sure he's remembered for his wonderful achievements

 

[sledger]

I'll remember him for failing to stick up for Vinod Kambli when the latter was out of form. Disgraceful.

 

[harsh.ag]

Got ya.

 

[centurymaker]

The last time we toured India we had two 100 run first inning leads in three test matches!!..with a team less experienced than the one we have now!!....so you're free to do the maths!!.

Last time around, WI lost one of the games by an innings as well. Incidently, it was the one that was played in Kolkata.

Again, the comparisons with Sachin and you ring true.

Brainless fans = GIMH by the way

 

[salman85]

Reckon he'll score a century in one of his remaining innings.

This tour will be a bookie paradise in India.

I've often wondered about the political leanings of Sachin I have heard he is linked to the more liberal Congress party - but have always suspected he may lean to the right wing if pressed.
