Maiden test 50 for Vijay in style, 6 off Murali.

Well done young man.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:45

Vijay dropped by Herath.

Adding salt to SL's injuries.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:46

Why is Murali taken off?

Despite his tonking, him being senior most bowler of his team he should've been there for a longer spell.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:48

This is highest ever opening stand at Brabourne. Previous best being 159 by Eng openers way back in '61.

I suspect he might have asked to be taken off. His 37 yo frame can't take the strain anymore.

Tennis elbow?

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:55

But he bowled just 6 overs in this spell.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:55

2 sensational strokes by Vijay, says Brad Hogg on air.

Because I'm all out.

17th test ton for Sehwag.

Potential niggle? Maybe he's starting to doubt his own ability. 800 seems like an age away when the batsmen start picking your stock delivery.

I bet he isn't pleased to be facing India with his career nearing its end.

The ping?

4th 6 for Sehwag.

Sehwag treating Sri Lanka like some second rate outfit.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:03

Must be demoralizing for any fielding team.

One of the few chanceless Sehwag knocks.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:06

200 up with that fabulous Sehwag stroke off Murali.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:07

How's the batting, SG? What's the pitch like?

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:10

11 runs off that Herath over.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:11

Batting is simply awesome.

Pitch is better for batting than the 1st day but the mood both Indian openers are in, I doubt it'd have any better for SL bowlers had India batted yesterday.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:12

Thats 5 6s by Sehwag in this innings.

Just praying that he doesn't get himself out.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:13

It's nice to see the only high scoring draw of the series happened in T1.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:14

If Indian bowlers can raise to the task like they half did in the first innings, this test has result written all over it.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:15

At this rate we should be ahead of SL by stumps or may be first thing tomorrow morning.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 03 Dec 2009, 08:15

I can see the headline now....

Chuck all out of Luck: Sehwag and India rack up 600.
