A token of Appreciation for our Batting Gods

Posted by: Saqib at January 6, 2010 4:35 PM I only wish both sets of my grandparents decided to stay in India during August 1947. Look at this comment under this article :haha: http://blogs.cricinfo.com/pakspin/archives/2010/01/fear_and_dread_in_sydney.php

I am glad they didn't

:two_thumbs_up: This is surreal. First instance of you watching a match at the stadium and you got to see a match filled with records. Can you please put all those important records in a nutshell? :P

Third successive 200 plus runs chase :hail::hail:

India have scored more than 200 in the last innings to win each of their last three Tests. Has any other country ever done this? The short answer is no, no other country has ever emulated India's feat of scoring, in successive Tests, 257 to beat Sri Lanka in Colombo, and 216 and 207 to beat Australia in Mohali and Bangalore. The only other country to manage even two consecutive successful chases of more than 200 is Australia, who overhauled 292 to beat South Africa in Johannesburg in 2005-06, and followed that with 307 to beat Bangladesh in Fatullah later in 2006. http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/482290.html

To top that off, we have chased 300+ scores in ODIs 9 times, by far the highest by any country :yes:

One against the minnows hmm enough said about them being true World Champions. Fact is Ponting has a fantastic record of winning tosses, quite visible even in India, he won bot the tosses yet lost. Mostly in ODI cricket and in Test Cricket rather than pitches which are Green Aus bats first so hardly they need to chase. If you notice their ODI domination you'll clearly see the day they have to chase more than 230 or more they fail. Yet everyone calls them World Champions. Cant remember AUs chasing down sucessfully scores over 250 so regularly as we have done under Dhoni.:hatsoff:

According to me Sehwag, sachin, dravid, laxman - and dhoni are permanent fixture of all time Indian 11, and you throw in gambhir etc the current batting team can compare with any other team quite easily

sorry to spoil the fun, but it was the bowling unit which won it here, except the out of the world performance of one batsman All others just threw it away

Actually I am with Dhoni's assessment. Batting let us down in 2nd innings. We really should have set them 400. To me VVS is now demi-god.

bump Three sessions to bat out tomorrow for a draw in the first test of an away series! Can "Our batting Gods" do it? :nervous:

[Sid]

WTF this thread bumped 1 day before ,Dan bhai :nervous:

[Cricketics]

WTF this thread bumped 1 day before ' date='Dan bhai :nervous:[/quote'] But the two Stalwarts have already shown some class today. It was a hard fought session where both bats looked very positive in scoring some runs rite till the last ball of the day. Match could have stopped any time but this dude RELAXEDMAN COMES OUT AND plays 3 classy shots for 3 fours on 3 consecutive deliveries. LONG LIVE THIS BATTING LINE UP.
