Thank your stars for you're born in India. Look at Pakistan's political situation and ask yourself if you'd have been able to ask this question if you're born on the other side!
I feel for the Pak management. I heard they have requested PCB to send for a fakir now to cure the players with some magic!
If the Pak bowlers didn't bowl 5.3 overs less today, Jaffer would have completed 200 in a single day. What an innings it was .... a perfectly chanceless and a graceful one.
i havn't read the full report so just reporting 2 mistakes. 1. india didnt lose karthik for 1 but he got out when india were 2. 2. dravid and jaffer made a partnership of 136 runs for 2nd wicket and not 102. i know reporters have no sports knowledge which is clear from things they write as their opinions but at least try to get data correct

Idiot-- they said India lost Karthik for one--- they meant Karthik's personal score was 1 run. When you don't understand it right, why hurry and write some rubbish to get your name seen in this column. Kuch tho socho yaar. Btw second point is right so Shaabash ashish.

Unfortuntely RC u got the second one wrong , and not rediff...they r obviously referring to the morning session of ply in which the duo had indeed put on 102 runs....
Wasim Jaffer will go on to break the highest ever score by any batsman in test cricket-400 N.O. by Bria Lara. The way he is playing now, that is a pretty safe assumption to make.

Indian Players and Captain are not so obsessed with the record as Brian Lara to play for two and half days to achieve the record. Lara's 400 should go to to dust bin

You got it wrong. The one you are referring to is an ODI match, not Test. And it was no green-top. If SA could win by 9 wickets, then it couldnt be that bowler friendly.

if u go thru the record book, eden always provides some help to the fast bowlers, whether it's SA, PAK or any other team. & when the last time SA played a test match here Sourav was also part of the Indian team. Akram's team also won the test match in Eden, & again Sourav was in the team. Use some brain (if you have any) before writing illogical comments.
RE:Rahul Dravid is not
by Salil on Dec 01, 2007 12:40 AM
had Rahul Dravid stayed..we probably would have ended with less runs on the board...Sachin and Jaffer went almost 5 an over...so may be this was a boon in disguise...especially on a feather bed wicket... I dont dislike Dravid at all ..just that i had taken a leave yesterday and when you do something like that..you want to njoy batting as a spectacle...which Sachin and Jaffer provided...
