Count Pujara's 100 test

[SRT100]

The Madness of Indian Cricket, if this guy was so pathetic to panic and choke in a 100th test, we should have scheduled his 100th vs Bangla or SL.

[Suhaan]

Supposed to be his swansong but turning out to be ducksong

This thread is about reaching 100 test not necessarily what the Count does or does not in it … If he does well in it, a bonus!! 

PS talking about duck, all best batsman from Aus (Smith), Ind (Count), and NZ (KW) scored ducks in the on going tests! … Bradman too got out for duck iirc, failing to reach an avg of 100 (though 99.94 is 100) …  Shows how great batsmen are linked and even if they score less at a milestone, they still make news!!

Only top order batsman in test cricket history who is ALLOWED to play his 100th test despite averaging 29 in last 3 years.   

[Gambit]

This guy has eclipsed Kapil, Tendulkar and Dhoni and even sarkari babus in shamelessly carrying on!  

[Gambit]

And now he’s selfishly run out Rohit. Despicable.

[Texan]

Count runs out captain who just hit 2 sixes. Congratulations.

[zen]

Good to see certain posters continue to post brazen lies.  Rohit called for 2 and then stopped midway while the Count was on his way, and these characters not surprisingly want to blame the Count for it!

 

Let the Count (in their imagination) run out Rohit or whoever 100 times!

Count on Pujara to make what should have been an easy win into a arduous chase now.

Sachin came back from dead quite a few times in his career, so he though he could do it again. 1.5 bad years is understandable for a top cricketer. He retired at the right time.

The commentary of India's final inning:

 

A tailenderesque 29* from Pujara ensures that India chases down the target of 115 with no major hiccups.

Those Murphy blows felt like Barfi blows to disCount

The hero of 100 adventures

 

His favorite opposition ...  a Bradmanesque duck in the 1st inning (always good to get either get a duck or a 100 in a milestone game as it makes it memorable) ... stands tall in the 2nd inning to finish the game for India 

 

 to all the true cricket fans ... The Count Test:
