hehehee .... we are piling it on the aussies arent we .... SRT going past 2K runs against Aus ' date=' AK going past 100 Wkts against Aus and most probably 50 wkts IN AUS ... good times[/quote'] Good times for the experienced ones. A good example of why the experienced players need to be backed despite couple of failures or three. These guys have played a lot of cricket and they now know what it takes to win a test match. They fought hard one session at a time. Batting in test cricket is all about experience and confidence. It would be great if Rahul can bring up 10k during this tour.

[Indus_Army]

Since a Bangalore test match will take a while, I can't think of a venue more befitting for this accomplishment. The venue where he scripted a fairytale...! :adore::isalute:

Waiting the for Landmark ... There are some players who write their name on the match they play... Like VVS in Calcutta, Dravid in Adelaide, Kumble in Kotla, Boss..can you compile such performances on indian players where one player completely overshadowed the performance of others in test matches when indian won... i know Kumble will come on TOP and Ganguly at BOTTOM... still if we could see such stat...:D

I wonder why you are Cricketics and not Cricketicz?

I wonder why you are Cricketics and not Cricketicz?

okay thatz how this name came to my mind.. when the name first came in my mind 15 years back.. i was thinking it like "Politics" hence "Cricketics" just the first part of politics to be replaced by cricket

[fineleg]

Hope he gets it in Adelaide, where he turned the match around on its head in 2004

Go Dravid!!! 10K runs is coming!

[Dravid]

awesome work by walll

All the best to Dravid. The record as it stands, for the fastest man to 10,000 Test runs (in terms of innings), is jointly held by Lara and Tendulkar- they both doing it in 195 innings. Dravid therefore, cannot hold the record, since he is already past 200 innings and yet to reach 10K. However, Ponting has an outside chance of breaking the record : he sits at 192 innings and 9636 runs. Therefore, he needs 364 runs in 2 innings to break the record and 364 runs in 3 innings to tie it. Of the currently active batsmen who MAY get the record, no-one seems that likely to equal/break Lara-Tendulkar's record : Kallis is at 9414 runs already in 194 innings, thus taking 'breaking the record' out of the equation. And even then, he'd need an almost-impossible, superhuman 586 runs in the very next test innings to equal the record. Given that Kallis has never scored a double century in tests and inorder for him to equal the record, he'd need to break the world record for highest innings score and extend it by 186 runs, it is almost a certainty he won't get there(not unless Kallis meets Zimbabwe the very next match and its a timeless test inorder to give Kallis the few weeks he needs to score those runs). Hayden, another with an outside shot (though i feel he is the least deserving of the lot) , has 28 innings to make 1861 runs to break the record. At over 66 runs every innings, it is a very stiff ask, but not one completely beyond Hayden's reach. Jayawardene and Chanderpaul are the only 'distant-shots' i can see, though in Jaya's case, he'd need 2700+ runs in 43 innings (again, a very stiff ask) and Chanderpaul can be almost written off, since he needs 2550+ runs in 11 innings to break the record. Of the rest, i am not sure any other current active batsmen would even get to 10K runs- it doesnt look too promising for Clarke & Smith, who are both in a downward spiral, with Sangakkara & Yousuf almost ruled out due to age considerations ( they are over 30 and have barely made it to 6000 runs). If Sangakkara makes it, he may only *JUST* go past 10K as well. Yousuf(who is almost 34 and still 3300+ adrift of the milestone) can almost be written off from reaching the 10K barrier. KP is still too new to enter this synopsis (he needs over 2x his career runs tally to make it to 10K runs) ========================== To summarize, unless Ponting scores a double ton and a ton in his next 2-3 innings, he doesnt get to hold the record and the record will stay in the joint posession of the two BEST batsmen of the last 15 years: Lara and Tendulkar. And with Ponting & Dravid set to join the 10K+ club and Hayden the only 'credible' threat for the next few years, 10K club will remain mostly an Aussie-India milestone, with Lara the only exception.

LOLLLL CC at the kallis and few weeks jab
