Australia must've been proper crap to get whitewashed by this rabble.

Always amusing to see Kohli fail.

Shillingford to Tendulkar, OUT, lbw! Shillingford has silenced Eden Gardens! He did him with the doosra, a delivery Tendulkar has had problems with in the past. The crowd gives him an ovation as he walks back but it's muted. Shillingford flighted the doosra and pitched it on middle, Tendulkar tried to defend from his crease and the ball straightened past the outside edge and hit the back leg quite high. He's unlucky to be given after watching replays. The impact was high.

Unforch I was watching without sound but it would have been funny to see what the hand picked BCCI commentators had to say about it.

Presumably it was along the lines of "oh well, you win some you lose some, that's the part of the joy of cricket".

Why is the cricinfo live coverage being clogged up with a video from Manjrekar?

Good day of test cricket.

Well played Shillingford, Dhoni, Sharma and Ashwin.

Shami's bowling on the first day was superb.
