Can someone please explain me the meaning of 'No Half Measure'?

It basically means that you put in your best effort, not a halfway effort.

 

[iHammad]

India 130-2

Can someone please explain me the meaning of 'No Half Measure'?

Its when he slashes and slashes hard

 

[chaiwala]

Tendulkar to get out soon, playing too many shots.

With the exception of the upper cut, his boundaries were all off bad balls, and proper cricket shots.

 

[Forward Defense]

It basically means that you put in your best effort, not a halfway effort.

Thank you

 

[chaiwala]

Siddle and Hilfenhaus aren't doing it. Maybe give Pattinson another go?

 

[skyhigh]

Tendulkar to get out soon, playing too many shots.

Agree. Its better to score some and get out rather than a 100 ball 30.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:4 by what a shot!!!

 

[IgnitedMind]

That was awesome!!!!!!

..

 

[chaiwala]

Oh my, another gorgeous cover drive from Sachin for :4

 

[praveen]

Shot. Follow on averted.

 

[IgnitedMind]

WOWWWWWWW!!!!

 

[chaiwala]

OMG

Sachin...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

that was an awesome shot

 

[OZGOD]

tENDY FLOGGING THE BALL TO ALL PARTS OF THE MCG, NOW ON 32, 68 AWAY FROM HIS TON

 

[Justcrazy]

:Tendlkar :AAG

 

[skyhigh]

swing has died down. Bounce is true and Sachin is playing positively. Straight drive

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pleasure to watch those shots...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

ending 2011 with a brillaint hundred. What a legend!!!

 

[Mr Mute]

Good to see sachin employing the drives to score quickly rather than playing through the slips.India cant afford to lose him today.

 

[Romali_rotti]

I believe I have seen the best ever cover drive I have ever seen by anyone about a minute ago. SRT proving to me over and over again why he is the greatest of all time... As I type this, Mark Taylor: He is the greatest cover driver in the game..

 

[chaiwala]

Lucky for Dravid

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Pakistanpassion]

Sachin for hundred!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

India ausssies

 

[Justcrazy]

Follow on avoided

 

[chaiwala]

Dravid 38 from 98, Sachin 32 from 29 Very different styles.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nice to see Australians under pump..... they have inflicted this on others on so many occasions

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Siddle unimpressive as ever.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar very positive today here.

 

[Mr Mute]

Dravid seems to have lost all concentration watching sachin at the other end.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Lyon in

 

[Forward Defense]

Bowling Change: Lyon comes into the attack.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Sachin is going to destroy Lyon

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lyon will get murdered here

 

[skyhigh]

Lyon has a great loop and he has guts. He will do well

 

[chaiwala]

Well bowled, well played by Dravid

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

These two can make a 200 run partnership here

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dravid slogging in tests..

now I have seen everything..

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Time to bring in Pattinson.

 

[Random Aussie]

Siddle unimpressive as ever.

He is actually bowling well, to two all time greats on a flat pitch. Causing Dravid problems.

Pattinson needs to come back but he cant bowl all day. This is where we needed an all rounder not Hussey 0(1).

Lyon bowling alright considering who he is bowling to.

 

[IgnitedMind]

50 Partnership!!

 

[Random Aussie]

These two can make a 200 run partnership here

Thats conservative for you, surely they can make a million?

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pattinson in..

Vs Tendu

 

[chaiwala]

Pattinson in, this will be the real test for India

 

[Random Aussie]

Here comes Patto!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

legend vs youngsta Pattinson

 

[skyhigh]

Sachin is susceptible to full in swingers. Pattinson is the man

 

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar looks like he would get to 17 K runs in Test cricket.....

 

[IgnitedMind]

3 more

 

[Random Aussie]

There goes Patto!

 

[Random Aussie]

Here comes Patto!

 

[chaiwala]

3 runs for

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Good fielding by superman warner

 

[Forward Defense]

Another Upper Cut for Sachin Tendulkar followed by brilliant fielding by Warner.

 

[Mr Mute]

ending 2011 with a brillaint hundred. What a legend!!!

He's on 38 at the moment.

 

[skyhigh]

He is actually bowling well, to two all time greats on a flat pitch. Causing Dravid problems.
.

Its by no means a flat pitch

 

[Bashira_taeli]

I have a feeling Pattinson will trouble Tendu.

 

[IgnitedMind]

2 for Dravid

 

[velu]

GM all ..

when i got up early, sehwag was already out, i slept again for an hour.

 

[Random Aussie]

Fairly sure if you went and measured it it would be flat

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He's on 38 at the moment.

I have a feeling he'll end the year with the 100th hundred. Wanna bet?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Warner has got upper arms of a freakin boxer.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Yeah Pitch is very flat, agree with RA.

 

[Random Aussie]

We badly need some of those six injured bowlers available for the second Test

 

[chaiwala]

Fairly sure if you went and measured it it would be flat

It's not a flat pitch at all. Look at how the ball is carrying.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies bowlers

 

[Bashira_taeli]

I have a feeling he'll end the year with the 100th hundred. Wanna bet?

Sachin trying to own Lyon

 

[chaiwala]

Also, overtakes Dravid in just 43 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

tendulkar 44 from 45 balls.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

asked for a sledgehammer WWF hell in a cell match

 

[Mr Mute]

as an indian supporter i wouldnt mind losing that bet.
Calling a hundred so early is though, pretty much like jinxing it.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

A wicket to fall in this over
