"I haven't seen him play like that for years/in a long time."- Sanjay Manjrekar- whenever Sachin plays a good shot. I feel like killing him.:wall:

what? never heard that before.

instead of thirteen he says thirdin If you listen closely you ll figure it out. Now, I know that one can argue that English accent pronunciations do make the "T" sound a little bit like a low pithed "D" at times but Ravi says it with the great Indian accent.

How come you guys missed the following: 1) Its gone the distance. 2) He has the height but not the elevation and vice versa. 3) He is getting under it.... 4) We gave our 100% but today it was not enough. 5) I want to go out and give my 100% every game. 6) He has dropped a dolly. 7) That was an amazing shot. 8) This pitch will offer assistance to the seamers early on. 9) No need to run for that, thats a four. 10) The fielder has given up the chase as soon as it left the bat. 11) That went like a tracer bullet. 12) As soon as he hit it he knew he had middled that one. The list is quite endless actually. :haha:

India does not deserve to be #1 because they don't win overseas. India won because of "questionable" pitches
