Thats a very good record whichever way you look at it.

And how many games were played in SA, Aus and England?
We somehow managed to lose a test series in Aus and won a series in Eng. We didn't play in SA during this period.

Just as well given your pathetic record in SA.
So we should play a test series in SA every year?

No, you would probably chicken out of tests like a couple of years back.

Mahela is now level with Aravinda (267 in NZ in '90s) to score highest no. of runs in a single innings in an away test.

Thats unthinkable for ANY int'l team, let alone a team like India. So remind me when did India chicken out of playing a test in SA?

Oh ye of short memories. Remember the unofficial test at Centurion?

by The One Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:36

just when you thought taipan couldnt get more pathetic at trolling

by taipan Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:37

Trolling?

No, just telling it as it is.

Remember you lot threatened to pull out of the last Aussie tour as well.

What a pathetic bunch of losers.

Keep those lies coming.

Atleast it reminds us of your class, or rather lack of it.

For a Sri Lankan right.

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:41

Was Centurion test played just 2 years back?

As far as I know it was played full 8 years back. But then some losers have no connection with facts.

I meant for SL. Sorry for not clarifying it earlier.

by taipan Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:42

Did you refuse to play the test. Yes or no?

Did you threaten to pull out of the Aussie tour. Yes or no?

Couple can mean more than two but if you want to be a pedant.

So you are admitting that you chickened out the test 8 years ago.

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:44

And yes, that was due to fear of losing to SA in SA?

As I said some losers don't even know to pretend that they're trolling.

Try again.

by taipan Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:46

Come off it, you bunch have always been chicken.

Remember the test in WI when half the team pretended to be injured.

What that has got to do with us being fearful of being beaten in Aus or SA? We've been beaten countless no. of times in both these countries. Nothing new would've happened had we got beaten once more.

Another factually untrue statement. But thats not new.

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:50

SL showing the intent, 16 runs in 2 overs after lunch.

by JGK Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:51

Mishra now 3rd worst ever but the Bradman-Fingleton record falls.

by taipan Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:51

Keep believing it

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:51

So, Jayawardenes have now the record for most runs being raised for the 6th wicket.

Well done to them.

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:52

Finally Mahela dismissed for 275.

by JGK Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:53

Dammit - Mishra gets a wicket AFTER the partnership record falls.

by SG Thu 19 Nov 2009, 06:53

Lead is now 300.

I think they'll rake up another 40-50 quick runs.

Well done to them.

Ironically, the first class record is also held by players with the same surname.
