Dravid "the wall " walks in

 

[Equinox]

Malinga to Gambhir, 2 runs, steams in on middle and leg from over the stumps, Gambhir quietly tucks it to midwicket to pick two. 142 kph, already the fastest ball of the match so far.

 

[Sakss]

gambhir gaya....

 

[TheρaKaraBrocKer]

Why Sanga did not wait for Herath to get his maiden 100 ?

 

[jattafridi]

Gambhir is out

[MAJID-SHAH]

hahaha!....now you know why we call it CRAPinfo !

 

[mastermind_quad]

love to watch this ....Malinga with long runup ....@ 145 to 148 kph and Dravid defends....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

^^^haha, that must really take the p!ss as far a Malinga is concerned

 

[mastermind_quad]

2 more 4s to Welegedara .....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Indias RR is top notch............thanks to a certain virender sehwag

 

[mastermind_quad]

^^really he changed the way test batsman plays throughout the day

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

The difference between these two is only 470........

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

^^really he changed the way test batsman plays throughout the day

Yeah we need somebody like that !, we have Umar akmal though.

 

[mastermind_quad]

India 50....

from cricinfo

IF the whole of day one had indeed been lost to rain, the difference would have been 150 as opposed to 200 in calculating follow on targets.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Yeah we need somebody like that !, we have Umar akmal though.

Yes ...U.Akmal need to play his natural game he is just 20 yr ...no need to modify his technique and pressurizing him unneccasary....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

53/1
trail by 467

 

[abdul2009]

No one from India was able to bowl 140 in the whole test match, but Malinga easily consistent over 140's.

Amazing and kind of Pathetic for a nation of 1.2 Billion not to have a decent speedster!

 

[mastermind_quad]

more to sehwag ...on 33

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

4444444444444444
sewhag !! Smashed !!

 

[Random Aussie]

and u also ignored the fact that The UV is playing in this match .....)

Oh no, I know the YUVI ) is playing. Looking forward to him bat and do his thing under real pressure.

So I gather from the score that Malinga is bowling well and the other guy is cannon fodder....

 

[mastermind_quad]

and a more.....Veeru ...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

And another
444444444
61/1 10 gone

 

[Random Aussie]

^^really he changed the way test batsman plays throughout the day

Not sure about that TBH, he is Sehwag and plays the way he plays. I don't really see anyone else play that way...

 

[mastermind_quad]

@RA yes Welegedara is very poor and now Herath joining the Malinga with Welegedara's spirit ....2 4s in 1st over

 

[LG]

Sehwag's at it again. This guy is a freak.

 

[tdigi]

No one from India was able to bowl 140 in the whole test match, but Malinga easily consistent over 140's.

All hail King Abdullah

 

[mastermind_quad]

Not sure about that TBH, he is Sehwag and plays the way he plays. I don't really see anyone else play that way...

Guys like Dilshan ,U Akmal plays in the same way .....and I m sure more to follow ...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Angelo Mathews comes on. The wait for Murali just got bigger! Two slips and a gully.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Single taken, veeru to face.

 

[mastermind_quad]

2 changes now Mathews from other end ....Mathew is a really good All rounder ....

 

[Random Aussie]

Guys like Dilshan ,U Akmal plays in the same way .....and I m sure more to follow ...

Well they don't quite do it as successfully do they?

Yes there will be some to follow. But you need mucho cahunas to play that way in Test cricket.

 

[mastermind_quad]

@RA this time u'll come to know about new The UV ....

 

[tdigi]

Oh no, I know the YUVI ) is playing. Looking forward to him bat and do his thing under real pressure.

He is listening

 

[mastermind_quad]

Well they don't quite do it as successfully do they?

Yes there will be some to follow. But you need mucho cahunas to play that way in Test cricket.

but Sehwag too not so successfull during his early days ....but he persisted with the way he plays and it works for him and India ..

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

11 gone
62/1

 

[mastermind_quad]

Tea breaks need to replced with drink breaks ...

 

[Random Aussie]

but Sehwag too not so successfull during his early days ....but he persisted with the way he plays and it works for him and India ..

Worked even better when your idiot selectors dropped him for the first 2 Tests in Australia

 

[mastermind_quad]

from cricinfo

The light is not the best out there, so we may not have a full hour and some to go before stumps

 

[adit_sh]

Which team will be most jumping to play Indian bowlers these days

 

[mastermind_quad]

@RA Indian selectors r morons ......no need to talk about them ....Ishant and Sreeshant need to go with A team in england and must be there in Zib with our B team ..... less talk about them is better ...they r real morons

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

[cric_fan82]

[MAJID-SHAH]

[mastermind_quad]

[Random Aussie]

[MAJID-SHAH]

[MAJID-SHAH]

Alright, time to get this kid out and into the tail!

Edit - and we thank the Indian selectors for their kindness there

[mastermind_quad]

[mastermind_quad]

@RA kid going to score 100 atleast ......now kid off the mark with single

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Sehwag is a brilliant player, you guys are lucky to ave him!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Lol @ cricinfo

14.3
Mathews to Tendulkar, no run, over-pitched on Sachin's pads he works it square easily for another single

but where is the run......

 

[Random Aussie]

@RA kid going to score 100 atleast ......now kid off the mark with single

This kid has a nice technique. He might amount to something.

The YUVI on the other hand...

 

[dinakar]

Sehwag's jogging to the crease with the bat not grounding reminds me that runout!

 

[mastermind_quad]

@MAJID-SHAH same way u guys lucky to have so many bowlers ....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

@MAJID-SHAH same way u guys lucky to have so many bowlers ....

Yeah true.
You give us Sehwag, and take one of our bowlers!

 

[mastermind_quad]

@RA u'll see new The UV on this tour ....

 

[mastermind_quad]

@RA i wanna see UV playin smith or keefe in OCT...

 

[mastermind_quad]

Abbas on cricinfo

Abbas: "I just don't understand why Afridi was unable to do a sehwag in Test cricket by opening like he has done previously. I mean, he has a pretty good average, 5 centuries and is aggressive, I'm sure he could have been more patient."

 

[mastermind_quad]

Murli ....

 

[mastermind_quad]

Sehwag respecting Murli in his last test...
