:))) Cricinfo are meant to be proffesional. Even PP are more non-biased than them and we are meant to be a Pakistani forum.
 
Indian batsmen are renowned for stopping play, Tendulkar usually uses the sightscreen, Ghambir has his own method.
 
I have seen Tendulkar complain about the sightscreen, but only when there were people walking across,and that too when the baller was in the begining of his run up. Other times i do not know. Once a fat man was walking across with balloons in his hand. And when he realized it instead of getting aside, he walks all the way back. ufff.... Real Einstein that fellow
 
What do these players have for lunch? I have always Wondered how the fielders near the boundary don't feel sleepy after a heavy meal.
 
292 is too much..

Pattison scoring 40 odd runs at end? That'll take Gambhir the entire length of the series to match..
 
Sachin averages 91 in first innings in Australia..and 24 in the second!!!! that needs correction....no better day than today..
 
glenn rubs it in: "Hang on, Gambhir wasn't ready for that one. Call him back!" Ha

lol, call the angry dwarf back already ..he was backing away ffs ....
 
Siddle is a little full for the liking. Can bowl a little back of length, like how he got gambhir. Hilfy should maintain his full length though..
 
Laxman is indian version of Inzi. If anyone can do it for them. It's 'Lux Man"
 
From Cricinfo

Mark: "Sehwag, like Dilshan for Sri Lanka, seems to be unable to adjust his game to suit the position that his team is in. It's not just the loss of the wicket but the boost that it has given Australia and the pressure on his team just before lunch. You would have thought that the number one priority for India would have been to deny Australia any wickets before the lunch break, even if that meant scoring a few less runs. Then after the break start to build a big partnership. I wonder if the times players like Sehwag and Dishan win a game for their country are outweighed far more by the times they lose games with their approach and the added pressure they put on others in their team."
 
You pick Sehwag knowing who he is. If you want someone to play safe for 40 mins then don't pick him. Defensive minded openers are better all round imo.
 
Dravid getting bowled thrice in the same match..

Congrats australia, its almost over, just one wicket needed.
 
Patto rearranges Dravids furniture nicely.

If Sachin makes a winning hundred now it will be worth the wait for him. India have never won in Australia, he could be on the way to change history.

Has he got it in him?
 
Will the lil' master come to the rescue

I'll have to watch highlights tomorrow morning :P :)

I don't think so
 
one more wicket and Australia will likely have it.

Having said that, these two batsmen are the batsmen I'd bet on most doing well on Australian wickets, so at least both are still in
