Sachin

What a team man.. wanted to give Lara an opportunity to bat. Respect

I wanted to see his century he looked good enough for it.

Lara in.,

 

[Sandeep]

Finch could have gotten out earlier.. Lara and Sachin together is just a dream....

 

[tempus123]

Muralitharan to Tendulkar, OUT, he was being too cheeky here and he pays the price! tossed up delivery, not short enough for the cut, and it was too close to the offstump.. It hits the underedge and hits the offstump.. He falls offbalance too. Smartly bowled by Murali there and it was an error on SRT's part


Murali you are the best.

Poor stuff. Why don't the commies know when they are on air or not?

Lara on!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Come on lara. show the youngsters of today how to play spin. Man it would have been a dream come true if ajmal was bowling at the other end.

 

[Sandeep]

Best comes back.. To have a go at Lara!?!

 

[tempus123]

I wanted to see his century he looked good enough for it.

Lara in.,

He struggles against Murali usually.

 

[Indiafan]

Murali got him..

Tendulkar isn't his best against Murali..

Nothing ball, stupid shot

 

[Indiafan]

He struggles against Murali usually.

Didn't today and was a nothing ball. He has also played couple of gems against Murali

 

[saiyan0312]

Finch could have gotten out earlier.. Lara and Sachin together is just a dream....

What a dream it would have been. Two of the best of their generation batting together.

 

[Dragon]

Warne could've protected his hand if he was wearing a full sleve. .

 

[saiyan0312]

Lara on. Oh game is soo on. Tino.

 

[Indiafan]

What a dream it would have been. Two of the best of their generation batting together.

Still a dream to see Lara batting, never thought would again. That backlift

 

[tempus123]

Didn't today and was a nothing ball. He has also played couple of gems against Murali

But he hasn't settled any scores and it's one more against him.. in Test matches in SL, he usually got out to him.. and was all at sea against Murali's variations in the past in SL.

 

[Sandeep]

Lara having his usual flashes.. so good to see him!

 

[saiyan0312]

First ball and he wants to smash the short and wide but the bounce was too much.

 

[Bilal7]

Lara looking to take Best on first ball. Probably not a good idea to get Tino more excited than he already is.

 

[jeetu]

Sachin showed his class , i hope to see same from Lara in this match.

 

[tempus123]

Sachin showed his class , i hope to see same from Lara in this match.

With that stupid shot to get out to Murali ?

 

[Munna]

Such a delight to watch Lara bat again after so many years. I used to be glued to my tv screen in his prime days

 

[saiyan0312]

Lara off the mark with 3 runs... YEAH!!

 

[Electron]

Lara runs 3 ! Fit guy.

 

[Sandeep]

haha.. Tino, you're the best..

 

[Bilal7]

Lol at Tino! )

 

[Indiafan]

But he hasn't settled any scores and it's one more against him.. in Test matches in SL, he usually got out to him.. and was all at sea against Murali's variations in the past in SL.

Has 10 100s with him in the opposition, 5 in each format with 5 in sri lanka

I think we are derailing the conversation so lets leave it for now

 

[saiyan0312]

Now all thats left is the calm of dravid on the other end. :dravid

 

[saiyan0312]

Murali vs lara, Spin and lara. It will be destruction of murali.

 

[Sandeep]

Murali and Lara... again!!!

 

[Indiafan]

With that stupid shot to get out to Murali ?

No with those awesome shots he played before that. You seem to have some bone to grind today

 

[jeetu]

Long time since i saw Lara bating.

 

[saiyan0312]

OHH come on lara show your talent was soo great that even after years you can make runs.

 

[Sandeep]

Poor guy Lara is very rusty..

 

[saiyan0312]

The old style of lara. The fiddle single and quick adjustment for a single. Secret of his 400 was this.

 

[Sandeep]

Atleast get out now Finch... I'll settle for Dravid-Lara..

 

[saiyan0312]

Without a doubt lara is looking very rusty but that is understandable.

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon somebody get finch out. I want lara and dravid together too.

 

[Indiafan]

Cmon somebody get finch out. I want lara and dravid together too.

Yes please

 

[Bilal7]

Dravid and Chanderpaul will have to play out of their skins and bat at atleast a SR of 85-90. I still think that Finch is the key here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Come on best. Get finch out you fast hack.

 

[tempus123]

Has 10 100s with him in the opposition, 5 in each format with 5 in sri lanka

I think we are derailing the conversation so lets leave it for now

I am talking about his last 2 visits to SL .. one in 2008 and other in 2010..

But yes, we are derailing it.. better to discuss the same in a new thread.

 

[saiyan0312]

on the leg. Horror ball there.

 

[saiyan0312]

Commentators playing the who you want game? the game we play soo many times on pakpasion.

 

[Bilal7]

Even though Finch is batting at a SR of over a 100, he needs to do better so that the oldies can take their time to settle.

 

[saiyan0312]

We have a lara vs sachin argument to start within the commentators.

 

[saiyan0312]

Around the wicket. Lara will play.

 

[Buffet]

It would have been some sight to see Warne+Mulari bowling to Sachin+Lara. Sachin played some cracking shots. Lara has been practicing for this match so let's see what kind of touch he is in.

 

[razabbas]

Wow lara

 

[saiyan0312]

oh the cover drive. The lara smasher. The style and flair was still there. Clone these guys bcz we dont have them around anymore.

 

[Munna]

There you go Brian Charles Lara. That boundary completes my day

 

[Indiafan]

I am talking about his last 2 visits to SL .. one in 2008 and other in 2010..

But yes, we are derailing it.. better to discuss the same in a new thread.

Only 2008, Murali played only 1 test in 2010 and Sachin scored 84. He struggled against Mendis I believe

 

[asifp]

Paul Allott social's account are about to get destroyed

 

[Buffet]

Cracking shot by Lara.

 

[saiyan0312]

Woah that died down.

 

[saiyan0312]

Stayed low and played for a single.

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon lara and he will keep strike.

 

[smoothcriminal]

Paul Allott social's account are about to get destroyed

Haha true. He was hesitant saying it and had to phrase his thesis so carefully hoping to avoid backlash

 

[saiyan0312]

Brad: "I'm not sure of the exact figures, but I believe Lara averaged close to 70 vs Murali in Sri Lanka #Legend" --- and 706 runs in 4 Tests!

we need another like him.

 

[saiyan0312]

Afridi vs lara. this will be good.

 

[Bilal7]

Haha true. He was hesitant saying it and had to phrase his thesis so carefully hoping to avoid backlash

Also said "you can argue with me" and might regret that.

Hoping he doesn't get any curses.

 

[Bilal7]

Lala to Lara. My life is complete.

 

[saiyan0312]

I remember watching lara was like watching a genius. A pure and raw genius.

 

[saiyan0312]

yuvi to bowl now. He can bowl well.

 

[saiyan0312]

easy peasy there by finch.

 

[saiyan0312]

Good shot. Yuvi getting nothing also.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by finch

 

[saiyan0312]

what a shot. Man he can hit darts.

 

[Munna]

Haha! Finch returning the favors to Yuvi

 

[Indiafan]

Come on Finch, no one wants to see you bat

 

[Mr Consistent]

finch moves to 80

 

[Bilal7]

KP fielding for some Yuvi pies. Great moments.

Also, forget Sachin or Lara, Finch is playing superbly here. This is an un-scratchy innings.

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon lara smash yuvi out for the old six.

 

[Indiafan]

sridhar: "oh to watch Lara..or to watch Messi. That is the question. " --- I say stick here.. It's not everyday that you see this genious

 

[Buffet]

Time up for cricket since Argentina game is on now.

 

[Mr Consistent]

big :6 by finch

 

[Silly Point]

Just tuned in. Afridi bowls a maiden and Yuvraj the pie chucker getting hammered.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Yuvraj Singh to Finch, FOUR, meanwhile, Finch shows Lara how cricket is played in this decade.. moves away and carts the length delivery with power through extra cover

 

[saiyan0312]

Lara is taking his time. There will come a time when he will attack. Its his nature to be an aggressive flairy batsman.

 

[saiyan0312]

That was close. Afridi getting nothing there.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another 4 by finch

 

[saiyan0312]

The dangerous cut. Afridi's bread and butter.
