Daryll: I am sorry to disappoint you, Shiva, but I think Ponting is going to lead the table.

Some1 Jee, believe me, Wasim Jaffer was doing this much worse yesterday. The time when he was at the crease, the slow run rate went unnoticed. Tendulkar is at least playing and picking the fielders. Jaffer left anything that was outside the off-stump. It was a misery to watch.

I agree on what you have said. Sachin has wasted too many deliveries.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

When Jaffer was batting, one could understand the need to secure wickets.
Now the score is 480-1 and India is looking to get as many runs as possible before they declare - yet Tendu is playing as if India is 30/5 or something.

He is clearly playing to better his statistics. I hope he does not get his century.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Meh, grassed.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Now that Ganguly is out to put the brakes on hurricane-like runrate, is there anything missing from the list?

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Ok...I give up....Mr Tendulkar can have his century or even a double-century if he so pleases.....who cares about the team's interests.

TENDU NEEDS TO BE DROPPED ASAP.

Nice to see do hansoon ka jora in the thread. Let me not spoil the party. :D

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

I feel sorry for Dravid. He has to work with such blatantly selfish players like Tendu....strike rate 47% when the team is 400+/1

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

:D:D

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

"Dropped" is not a recognizable format of word within BCCI.

"Rested", yes, now we are talking. :p

Quote from the Bangla forum :

i can see the headlines
"Ishant sharma's century on debut takes india passed 1100"

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Far from it - the morons in the selection committee actually might make him the CAPTAIN instead.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

I have never seen an Aussie batsman selfishly pursuing his hundred ignoring the interest of the team. The sad part is that the vast majority of statistics-obsessed desi public generally feel that its okay for a batsman to slow down when approaching century even when match circumstances demand otherwise.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

I wonder what they (Ganguly and Sachin) are now discussing within themselves. India 511/2.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Roll out the red carpet, Some1 Jee. I will get the paparazzis. :D

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

Since Karthik's departure and upto Tendulkar's century:

34 runs have been added in 12.3 overs.

Tendulkar
(1-18) = 43 balls (India 281/0 - 342/0)
(82-100) = 36 balls (India 491/1 - 526/3)

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

A MOST DISGUSTING CENTURY BY TENDU

The selectors must show balls and drop him, but I am afraid that is too much to expect.

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur

When, when is the declaration? When?

Re: India vs BD, 2nd Test: 25-29 May, Mirpur
