India v West Indies

Superb shot to get to 50. 48 to go...
 
That shot to bring up his 50 :drool:

This has been absorbing cricket so far, Tino Best is having a real scrap.
 
Jesus Christ Sachin, I swear if you keep playing that stupid uppercut I'm going to have a heart attack.
 
Hah! When was the last time we had this atmosphere in a test match in India?


It's a shame isn't it?

I can't understand how people don't love test cricket. It might not have the 'excitement' of a 20 over slog fest but its, even at its worst, utterly fascinating. If I could do nothing with my life but just sit and watch test cricket I would die happy.
 
He's looked untroubled, but I think it's a question of stamina, both physical and mental.

A few times in the past 2 years, he's made very good 70s and 80s but gotten out.
 
That is it.. We will probably win this by an innings.. :(
 
Dhoni should declare. Windies won't be able to build a lead big enough to require Sachin to bat again.

Sachin won't let that happen. This will probably be an innings defeat.
 
I'm sorry, but he's absolutely thrown his wicket away there.

Should never, ever have been playing that shot.
 
WHY DID HE PLAYED THAT UPPER CUT ON A SPINNER?

Everybody back to work.

His head was off today.. Kept trying that stupid uppercut until he got out.

The worst thing for me is that West Indies had finally got round to putting a deep backward point it.

He was playing that shot for one run.
 
feck off. I just bloody woke up. At least I saw that straight drive :drool:
 
That walk back to the pavilion was painful.
 
I love how all the commentators are so sure that India will win by an innings :lol:
 
Pujara has really impressed me over the past two days, tough conditions to bat in because you know everyones there to see the other bloke but he's looked calm and composed.

Kohli's got a lot of work to do in tests for me, but Pujara is the real deal.

Yup he's a class act.

Kohli too will prove his class in test over the time. He's too talented to fail.

It's not Kohli's talent that worries me, its what he's got between the ears.
 
Off to work..

Hope there's a collapse, but cannot see it.

Think everybody knows it's Sachin's final innings, but he didn't acknowledge it because he might be required to bat again. I thought that was good of him.
