Overweight and stupid?

No, that would make him Sri Lanka's Mark Cosgrove.

Neither gashlord nor dross-weasel, then.

At least he will be pleased he's not a drosslord.

Angelo Matthews marching on for his maiden ton in tests.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:11

Sree concedes 11 runs in his opening over.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:20

Matthews misses his maiden test ton, Sree gets him for 98.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:21

My bad. He is run out for 99.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:22

That was great throw from Tendulkar. Unlucky Matthews.

Not many batsmen have managed to get themselves run out on 99.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:28

SL all out for 393.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 04:50

Only 13 players before Matthews have been run out on 99.

McKennzie was the last batsman to get run out on 99, about 7 years back.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 05:00

Vijay is edgy which is understandable.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 05:27

Sehwas clubs Herath out of park off his 2nd ball.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 05:49

Good solid start this.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 05:52

Another 6 for Sehwag off Herath.

6K Test runs for Sehwag and he is the 3rd fastest Indian after Tendulkar and Sunny (in terms of innings played).

by skully Thu 03 Dec 2009, 05:56

Seaweed going apesh!t again, is he?

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 06:04

Thats lunch.

0/92 in 18 overs.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 06:05

Awesome shot that was by Vijay off Murali.

Sheer timing.

by philcric Thu 03 Dec 2009, 06:39

Vijay looks solid and classy at the crease. Could be a good replacement for Dravid at #3 whenever Dravid retires.

Seems like a result oriented pitch and fair play to both Sri Lanka and India for fast and positive batting. There is something in it for bowlers esp. spinners (fastish spin and decent bounce). Harbi has looked really effective in a test after a long time.

11th fastest overall.

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 06:56

100 partnership between these 2 for the opening wicket, 11th time in tests for Sehwag (6 times with Gambhir and 4 times with Chopra).

i was just wondering if he could replace yuvraj in the interim. certainly looks a lot more solid

by SG Thu 03 Dec 2009, 07:14

Another 6 for Sehwag, this time off Murali.

Same here.

But Yuvraj doesn't look like to be dropped especially considering that Dhoni is firmly in saddle plus India don't play any overseas tests in near future.
