Great Tendulkar has equalled Great Gavaskar's regord of 34 test centuries.

That is the difference between good teams and bad teams. This is also the difference between good batsmen and bad batsmen. Even though I dont think Tandulkar is what he used to be and is not in form, but i guess after struggling in the beginning he managed to get himself together and go for a big inning. Do you guys remember Inzimam playing agianst India in the recent Calcutta game. He couldnt even pull the ball in the beginning. He was beaten a few times. In the end he passed through that time and ended up making 75 from 75 balls.

correction elahi....

pathan got four right-hander out LBW cuz he has that inswinger....
and he got one left-handed batsman caught off the outer edge, again cuz that inswinger was now an away swinger....

if pathan continues like this, he'll soon fade away....
he needs to add variety to his bowling....
such bowling will not yield him much against good teams once they have seen him bowl for some time....

26.2 Mohammad Rafique to Tendulkar, no run, DROPPED! turn and bounce beats Tendulkar, call clips the outside edge and pops up on the off side, this time Rajin Saleh at silly point fails to hold on to a sitter, Tendulkar gets another life!

tendulkar is really lucky today...

perhaps the tenth edge of the day from him....

it is such a regret to watch a player like tendulkar struggling against minows......i guess, now, he is only good enough to score against BD and that is only if BD drops tons of catches. It is time for him to hang his boots with grace before he is shown the door by Indian Board.

However, congratulations to Tendulkar for scoring 34th century though i have to say that gavaskar was a better player than tendulkar.

Zaheer Khan becomes the highest number 11 scorer after scoring 75 against BD today :rolleyes:

^
bangladesh ne to lagta hai tendulkar ke andar soye huway sher ko bhee phir se jagaa diya hai....

I wish Zaheer Khan would have made 100.
teams should play BD just to make and break records.

Actually Zaheer isn't a typical No 11 batsman.
He has played some plucky innings in the past (esp in the ODIs).

As for the Gavaskar-Tendulkar comparison, I think Tendulkar is a more complete player. These days players have to adapt to both versions of the game....while Gavaskar was mostly a test player...who did not take very well to one-dayers.

He once made 36 not out after batting for 60 overs in a one-day match (those days one-day matches in England used to be of 60 overs each side)

wow. now that is something. i wish we had a player like this in our team.
Tendulkar has been out of form, and this game might bring him into form.

Tendulkar is not his younger self anymore....
In the past, everytime he walked out to bat, there was an anticipation that he would set the ground ablaze with his batting..... these days his body language is of somebody who just wants to put up a decent score....

BD 24/3

All 3 to Pathan

BD 24/4 now

All 4 to Pathan

BD 36/5 now

All 5 to Pathan

Why does BD even bother playing tests?

^ ^ well agar bd khelega nahi to baki nations records kaise banayenge.(Australia is exception)

bangladesh ki to lag gayee.

bangla will loose this match i think man of the match will be pathan or tendu.

irfan :k:

BD is such a disgrace to cricket…and these bangalis of east pakistan used to accuse West Pakistan for being racist against their cricket players…West pakistan was not racist but it was smart enough to keep these “great” banagali players from its cricket team…

BD is playing cricket for 5 years and, man, they SUCK a big time…what a disgrace this team has brought to cricket…I hate all the records made against BD…Tendulkar jee made a double ton…ok fine…he must be ashamed himself for scoring this double century…and zaheer khan has broken all records by his batting…wah jee wah…

anyway…good for india…they are making a good use of this oppurtunity to make some records…whereelse, pathan will take 10 wickets in a test match so easily…

there is a reason for my anger towards team BD…Attached link clearly shows that BD is getting worst and worst and there are no signs of any improvement…
