Great innings from Sachin

[Sachinism]

Forget all you haters This innings came at a time when we needed it, usually India have been known to collapse pretty easily in situations like this, Sachin stood up and took us pretty close to saving the game Look at Australia's 2nd innings, did their batsmen get any decent scores? No it shows its not that easy to bat on Look at India's 3 other wickets that fell, they fell cheaply Some people will never be satisfied, whatever they are given, they want something more

sorry brah, anything less than 300 runs is a failure....

That was a gutsy innings on a 5th day pitch. On several occasions he negotiated tricky deliveries by being totally non-committal and by restricting his footwork. That innings has brought us closer to a draw. If we save our face today, we can come back tomorrow. Well played Sachin.

Great, might be taking it a bit over the top, but it was one solid knock by the almighty !!!

[DomainK]

And that is enough to give sleepless nights to the Aussies before the next test match. The last thing they want is Sachin to hit form.

Exactly !!! and considering our team performaces improves as the series progresses, an in form Sachin will be instrumental in us winning it !!!

It was a good innings...not a great one.

And Laxman who's also played very well today.

It was a good contribution ... I wouldnt say great, but it was still good.

[bharat297]

But one thing that is good to see is that Sachin is still in form. His 49 was done with a lot of ease, and suggests he is seeing the ball pretty early. A lack of concentration did him over today, but with his experience, I doubt it will happen again. Big series ahead for Sachin.

so finally he clicks in the 4th innings by scoring 49 while trying to save a game and gets out to an ordinary delivery .. and u call it a great innings .. Im just glad that he FINALLY did something in the 4th innings :two_thumbs_up:

[h4te]

man, i am so sleep deprived that i just read the title as "greetings from sachin" i was like "WTF?" LULZ!:cantstop::((

so sachins 49 getting out 25 -30 overs before close deserves a thread but ganguly and vvs who ensured there werent any more hicups were just digging around ? Stop please please stop jumping up and down every time he scores more than his age

[bharat297]

I wrote this thread before India even started batting. This has nothing to do with his score today, its just the media BS that circulates in India, required a thread to be made I felt.

O RLY Alok? So how did we win the Kotla test against Pak last year? Do you remember anything at all? Or once again your memory is too short to remember a match played just 11 months back?

[Dravid]

And Laxman who's also played very well today.

and dada, both innings:dance:

[gs]

Good solid 4th innings performance! Kudos to Laxman and dada as well.

anyone stopping you from making a thread I made this thread because all the BS posted about Sachin over the last few days Sachin's innings today was extremely important for us

[Lord]

sachin roxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!:bhangra::bhangra::bhangra::bhangra::bhangra:

[Dinx - the Jinx]

Dada's match aggregate was more than Sachin's. It was VVS and Dada who ensureed the draw and not Sachin. I expected Sachin to take the fight to the Aussies, but he showed no indication of going after the target. he was just scratching around most part, except for the few boundaries that were well timed. This is a very ordinary innings and with the backdrop that he was jusy 14 runs away from that record, getting out at that score and in such fashion takes all the gloss off this innings (if there is any). Sachin's innings today doesnt deserve any mention.
