Bharat vs Britannia - Pehla Test - Chennai

Britannia 316
Bharat 155/6

Britannia ka palra bhaari. Bharat ki ummeed ab Bengal ki khaari mein bante hooeee toofan par hai.

Dravid saab ko kyaa ho gaya hai. Ek to ballebaazi kar nahi paa rahe. Aur fielding karte waqt apne ungliyon mein makkhan laga lete hain.

Re: Bharat vs Britannia - Pehla Test - Chennai

From Cricinfo :

"Dravid was shown reading a book in the pavilion - "Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy Into Triumph"- wonder why?" says Diwakar. "Anyway, I googled it and it has 5 star rating- so he is going to get a century in the second innings."

He was reading this book yesterday with Prasad and Kirsten sitting around him, after lunch time. Camera was on focus for about a minute or two as he went on from one page to the next.

Looks like a few things were missing from the lunch menu and now they are going back as the chef must have cooked it by now.

:( @ dravid's form

I really liked the guy more than 10dulkar, laxman and ganguly! Hope he scores in 2nd inning else this may well be his last test ....

Re: Bharat vs Britannia - Pehla Test - Chennai

England lead by 153

If Walaiti's can add anothe 120-130 odd runs to it a chase might be very difficult on this track

I don't know the average 4th innings score on this ground but a target beyond 270 in the 4th innings is quite a task for any side

Does Dravid have one final innings left in him?

Dravid gone, dismissed cheaply on 7.

Monty gives a straighter one to Tendulkar, which hits him on the pads and straight to short leg. Monty appeals and is excited. Sunil Gavaskar: "Monty is probably excited because Tendulkar was his first wicket in Test cricket".

How can a batsman so gifted become so abysmal.

How can THE WALL become as porous as the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The “mind” is the kitchen where all the plot is hatched.

May I suggest Vipassana for Rahul Dravid.

“…Means to see things as they really are.”

“Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.”

You could suggest the same to Tendulkar, perhaps.

blame it on winds going from Pakistan to India :)

PS: on serious note this is one (of very few selfless) batsman who I wanted to see perform :( Even if he decide to retire now, I wanted him to leave it on high note although in history he will always be known as THE WALL ...one of the great of the era!

**India WON!!! **

England to kisi ko moon dikhaane layak nahi raha :omg:

:rotfl:
**
Hats off to sehwag ..
He set the pace … :biggthumb**

Except to the hosts, since the visitors collectively decided to come back to play some goodwill cricket.

Another centrury for the little master and a winning innings by the true legend of the game.

Shame England lost.:(

Keep your hopes alive. England is going to humiliate Australia in Ashes at least 3-0 (as predicted in all parts of the world except Australia)
