[Justcrazy]

93 / 2

Lunch

 

[Sandeep]

Very nice gesture from one of the most ardent crictics on this forum.. Farewell Sachin

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

The pitch is spinning like a top and Shillingford is a very good spinner.

Hope he doesn't run through the Indian batting.

 

[Ims1]

As expected , WI have dropped a bowler & played Deonaraine & now Sammy is their 4th bowler & will bat at 8 . Poor defensive move in my opinion .

 

[Anfield]

How hilarious it would be if sachin scores a 100 and India loses and debates start whether Sachin is a match winner or not lol

 

[QazzarFan]

If you're in the US and have Dish...they're showing this match in HD on Channel 9997

 

[Sandeep]

Bhuvanesh should have got at least 2-3 wickets here.. Bowled beautifully

 

[Cricket_Guy]

There are stats , stats and then there is Tendulkar.

I guess his real value lies in motivating a whole country of kids to pick up a bat and emulate his greatness.

Critics will question his skills, his talent, his dedication, his match winning ability, but leaving all biases aside, this guy is a true champion.

He gave it to India, day after day , time after time , and even I can't help but feel sad at the end of an era. I thought it would never end.

With a beautiful technique and strokeplay he captivated the minds of millions of people on the planet.

The very fact that they are countless threads trying to denigrate his achievements is a clear indicator that even haters seem to put their time and effort for this brilliant guy.

In basketball, there is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, in Golf Jack Nikclaus, In the Tour Eddy Merckx. But none of them can perhaps claim of single handedly inspiring a generation of people after them.

In cricket, Tendulkar reigns supreme. You may argue all you like, but the guy gave his heart and soul to cricket and Team India.

The Cricket World will be poorer without him.

Wow!! top post this!!...respect

 

[jattafridi]

India gonna take atleast 4 wickets in this session

 

[Ims1]

2nd session on & Ojha bowling his 1st over .

 

[Justcrazy]

The game starts after Lunch

 

[Justcrazy]

India spinners would be too tough for WI , Do not see WI scoring more than 250 here

 

[Ims1]

Shami from other end bowling the 2nd over of session . he has bowled well here too .

 

[Justcrazy]

97 / 2

 

[Sandeep]

Shami charging in.. Lovely bowling

 

[Saffer_XIII]

samuels taking the attack to shami after being made to look like a tailender with those beautiful outswingers.

 

[Saurav]

No one can be great unless you give them opportunity , the game must move on. You need to drop non performing players , other wise it gives out wrong signals.

hes hardly non-performing by their standards.averaging 40 this year,53 last year.very decent

 

[Ims1]

140/4

 

[Justcrazy]

hes hardly non-performing by their standards.averaging 40 this year,53 last year.very decent

he does not look interested in Test cricket at all.

 

[Justcrazy]

India on top here, WI will be bundled out for 250 here

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian spinners bowling really well here.

 

[Sandeep]

And Chanders leaves.. Trouble

 

[Justcrazy]

Chanderpaul gone.

 

[Justcrazy]

As i predicted earlier, 250 is maximum WI can get

 

[Sandeep]

Ashwin getting his own medicine. Kohli letting Deonarine off at slips

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Kohli drops a lot of catches these days.

 

[Justcrazy]

152 / 5

WI do not have Test level batters.

 

[Sandeep]

Bhuvanesh would relish the South African mambas. He would get good bounce and carry

 

[Justcrazy]

Ojha bowls very well on Indian tracks.

 

[Justcrazy]

This why WI falter so often , they are basically not mentally prepared for Test.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 down

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin one short of 100 wickets !!!

 

[jattafridi]

India gonna take atleast 4 wickets in this session

I was right

 

[Justcrazy]

DJG Sammy c Sharma b Ashwin 0


100th Wicket for Ashwin

 

[Justcrazy]

Do not understand why Sammy is played in Test Matches, he is suited for shorter formats only.

That is why I said Sammy is pathetic in test matches.

 

[Haroon786]

Lol WI actually have worse test batting than Pakistan.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

might see tendulkar bat today. west indies collapsing on themselves.

 

[Justcrazy]

Now ojha strikes.

162 / 8

 

[TheNeutralist]

Now its boring, no resistance from WI at all!

 

[jattafridi]

Another drop catch angry Ashwin )

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Aman]

BCCI kind of deserve this, it's a shame but 2 matches and 6 days for Sachin.

 

[Justcrazy]

Despite drops India still well on top. Another test to finish in 3 days.

 

[Sandeep]

We should have batted first! Now Sachin can bat only once

 

[Saffer_XIII]

tino best gets his hatrick of ducks.

 

[Aman]

We should have batted first! Now Sachin will bat only once

Fixed

 

[Justcrazy]

172 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

pathetic stuff by WI , just wasted first chance to bat on both occassion.

 

[Justcrazy]

181 / 9

WI should be disappointed.

 

[Electron]

This WI batting lineup may well be as awful as the Pakistan one. Maybe not as bad, but still comparable.

 

[Electron]

Ashwin is the fastest to 100 wickets in the last 83 years !

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looking forward to watch Pujara. Classy batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

182 all out

 

[Justcrazy]

Ojha gets another 5 fer.

 

[Abhilash]

Damn...Hope WI bowlers show up today!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

India will probably only bat once now here so looks like Sachin will make one final inns for India, hope it is a good one!

 

[Sandeep]

Sammy opening the bowling..!

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Wow. I wonder how the great west indian quicks would feel about sammy opening the bowling.

 

[style_guru]

Vijay can get out any moment.

 

[Sandeep]

Vijay can get out any moment.

Many Indians would be praying for it )

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Many Indians would be praying for it )

Yep. I can't wait to watch Pujara bat

 

[Saurav]

he does not look interested in Test cricket at all.

hes of laidback nature.but as far as performances go,hes doing okay

 

[Robbie]

Wait.. Are we playing in the same pitch? Or this is a T20?

 

[style_guru]

This guy Dhawan is not letting Sehwag's absence being felt, as he is doing exactly what Viru used to do. Slaughtering the bowlers from the word go

 

[Abhilash]

Vijay keeping dhawan out of strike!!!

 

[style_guru]

Vijay keeping dhawan out of strike!!!

Something Ganguly used to do against Sachin

 

[dhump]

I hope sachin plays a good inning all those farewell matches kinda results in okaish inning.

 

[dhump]

I was hoping to see him bat on Saturday but seems like this is not going to happen.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

good to see that Vijay is attacking Shillingford and not letting him settle.

 

[Robbie]

50 in no time.

 

[Electron]

This umpire Nigel reminds me of Indian umpires. So unsure of himself.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol Dhawan's avg and strike rate are in triple figures. Viv Bradman Dhawan

 

[style_guru]

A lead of 150 should be decisive here.

Meanwhile Dhawan is murdering Best.

India 64/0 in 11 overs

 

[dhump]

Is this a T20 ??? how is the wicket ???

 

[Sandeep]

Finally! One more to go..

 

[Robbie]

Is this a T20 ??? how is the wicket ???

Was a big turn and bounce wicket. when WI batted nobody looked settled. I myself am so astonished to see the score here. And here is a wicket

 

[Sandeep]

And he's here

 

[jattafridi]

Sachiiiiiin in

 

[Ims1]

77/2

 

[saiyan0312]

Sachin is here. cmon 16000 runs.
