What a marvel Rahul is, If he gets a ton here (very likely) batsman of the series in my books

he's the real hero of indian cricket

 

[hineyrulz]

Imagine Team India without him this series???

 

[TheParraboy]

Rahul 101 no

 

[TheParraboy]

he's the real hero of indian cricket

as I type this Rahul is averaging 81.20 for the series, no one else from the top 6 indian bats is averaging more than 26

What a pack of pussies they are. Rahul must be ashamed at what he has to watch from the other end.

I hate pricks that bowl with their sunglasses on. :crazy:

 

[Red Bear]

Great knock Dravid, always liked the way he goes about his business

I bowl with sunnies on:sarcasm:

Fantastic knock from the wall. If he saves India from the follow on again he will be all levels of hero. Ghambir should be back at some point, hopefully this innings, so the 392 needed to avoid the follow on is very gettable.

 

[Hallatia]

Mishra hits a six on the last ball before lunch, so India 218/6 at lunch.

 

[TheParraboy]

Mishra and the tail to hang around, im putting my money on a Dravid double ton here

 

[Hallatia]

Ghambir still to come too.

 

[Hallatia]

Superb catch from the shermanator to get Mishra out. I hope Ghambir will come out now.

 

[Hallatia]

And he does. Yay!

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

It's hard not to like Dravid, easy to hate the rest though.

 

[Red Bear]

I like Laxman and Tendulkar.

Infact bar Singh i have no real hate for the indian cricket team. It's the BCCI i cant stand

I dislike Team India and hate the BCCI, but I like a lot of the Indian players. I have a lot of respect for the talent in the team (apart from Sehwag who I strongly dislike, he may be able to score runs, but his whole technique really irks me). I even like Dhoni

...

You sir, are a poseur!

 

[Hallatia]

I'm a girl. And I think I am just being sensible.
I need them to see when bowling in the direction of the sun. I can't bat with them on though regardless of the sun, but I can bat with a hat on. Can't bowl with a hat on at all.

 

[ThirdEye]

Sensible? So Swann is the only sensible bowler in the current english line-up?

Okay, wear your sunnies in the local club comp, but on the international stage it is simply vanity.

If your sunnies stay on your head when bowling then you are obviously not putting enough effort into your bowling! :shock:

 

[Hallatia]

well it really depends on how you are being affected by the sun, if I am bowling in the direction of the sun, I have trouble seeing without them. Being able to see is more important than not looking like a douche and that's why it can be the sensible thing to do. And they don't hinder your bowling at all, if they did, then it would be a stupid thing to do.

They do hinder your batting though, batting with sunnies on is silly.
