We are in very cofident that India would be winner of 2nd & last Test match of the 2 test match series. viru sehwag will be star hat target there is no matter. santosh k. Nigam, Lucknow,UP,India
Baki 10 kya zak marate hain.. It's team game for Sachin every run, there was non-striker running to complete that run. So chilled out. Let team shares victories & losses, not individuals
Test sides second innings averages of some top class batsman in tests Those who bat higher up the order upto one down or two down.
Kallis 58.37 SR 43.23 higher avarage poor strike rate. Sachin 43.98 SR 53.95 balanced Ponting 43.58 SR 57.80 balanced Dravid 43.28 SR 40.42 balanced but still low strike rate Lara 38.18 SR 54.09 Balanced with low average Sehwag 30.35 SR 78.33 poorest avarage highest strike rate.
Now those bat down the order i.e. at three down or four down.
Laxman 50.47 SR 50.93 balanced ( first innings average 45.67 ) Inzamam 46.97 SR 54.67 balanced ( first innings average 51.23 )
Batting lower chances of remaining not out are more and facing new ball and fresh Bowlers is less. But batting in deteriorated pitch are more specially in fourth innings.
Logic classes for some masses
India always needs Sachin when he fails...
so strange logic says Sachin always fails if India needs him ...lol
Wish Dhoni would play at least one captain's knock like Ponting does every time. Dhoni has hardly contributed in the last series against Sri Lanka and in the current Australia series. Everytime it is left to Sachin, Sehwag or Laxman to bail us out and Dhoni just gets the credit. He's a shadow of his old self and needs to get back to the basics again, both in his batting and 'keeping.

adi mehta, ponting comes in 3rd position. dhoni comes in 7th position. how much do you expect from dhoni when most of the times it is the bowlers with whom he has to bat.
even then he has 40 plus average as batsman overall and 50 plus average as captain.
in spite of doing so much people like you dont appreciate him.

I agree too.. But still, its too demanding for a player like Dhoni to do it when we have 6 pure batsmen in the team..
