Yes, yes, I know. I didn't even watch Indian batting but I feel they lost one wicket too many.
every time veeru misses a 200 or 100 he say's 'team's win is more important than 100 or 200'. is he trying to say team's win is jeopardised if he reaches a landmark?
FB, don't tell me you're that bored that you're watching this match.:)

Actually I am.
great inning by Gilli. I was impressed by the way he made his 172. only 70 came as boundry.Rest 102, he ran and still managed to get an strike rate of 150.
This is what make aussies a great team. This is a lesson which desi teams must learn.
if Streak ,taibu and Ervine are the only guy who canmake runs for ZIM then why the **** they dont go up the order and bat first rather than asking those pussy top order batsmen to bat.

I know. I couldn't believe his SR despite getting less than half his runs by boundaries. If Indian batsman did that he'd start dehydrating or cramping up so bad the physio would be on the field after every run scored post 100.
You have to understand the difference in physical structure and stamina. Also the nawabi mentality.

Yep…there were some periods in matches where there was hardly any dot ball. Its amazing to score so many runs in 1 and 2s and still have and SR of 145.
