Gotta to score 450 somehow.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 04:30

Kohli should now be a sure starert in first XI at Wankhede next week.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 04:48

17th test ton for VVS.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 04:58

"Among batsmen with at least 1000 runs at a particular venue, VVS Laxman has the fourth-highest average in Kolkata (103.72). Don Bradman (128.53 in Melbourne), Greg Chappell (111.77 in Brisbane) and Garry Sobers (104.15 in Jamaica) are above Laxman."

thank f*ck yuvraj failed. looked like a walking wicket on this dead track

dhoni should have been out at least 4 times in the first half an hour. roach bowling two no-balls that got 2 edges. has this happened before for the same bowler-batsman combo in a match?

VVS may not play another test at Eden.

by JGK Tue 15 Nov 2011, 06:48

Soft ton coming up for Donut.

usually a 2 year gap between tests. so yeah, probably not

by The One Tue 15 Nov 2011, 07:54

declare in another 15 or so overs? leaves us with 20 at the windies

that should be a team score of around 625 or so. time to go for the tonk

by JGK Tue 15 Nov 2011, 08:06

Who will get to 200 first?

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 08:28

0/180 in the last session.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 08:42

VVS experiencing back pain.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 08:50

Declared at 7/631.

by JGK Tue 15 Nov 2011, 08:53

So, did the new "no runners" rule cost VVS a double?

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 09:02

India opening with spinners.

by SG Tue 15 Nov 2011, 09:05

Yadav draws first blood.

by Brass Monkey Tue 15 Nov 2011, 09:30

Surprise surprise Rolling Eyes

Some good average boosting for the Indian batsmen. Barath's been disappointing since his debut Brisbane ton.

B'd a FT.

FTBs.

Just like Aus and SA bowlers at Cape Town.

by The One Tue 15 Nov 2011, 12:06

fantastic day! especially with those 2 wickets in the end. one feels india really needs to just make sure chanders does not bat for 3 days. the rest will probably play a silly shot or two at some point

by Brass Monkey Tue 15 Nov 2011, 12:30

No doubt they will. They're nearing the pits of Test batting.

by PeterCS Tue 15 Nov 2011, 12:51

There's another Indian massacre.

by SG Wed 16 Nov 2011, 03:51

Shiv gone cheaply for once against us.
