India still alive in the series...nice victory

[Dizzy28]

Pandya has basically made Holding eat humble pie.

Before this match Holding questioned his place on the Indian team and his talent as the 5th bowler. Holding said Pandya was not Test class.

The only thing left for Pandya to have done was hold up a sign saying "Yea Mikey Talk Nah!"

Lol ent^^...holding get quiet yes...bumrah quiet him to...cuz he said bumrah only effective with the old ball...bumrah run through the middle with the new yes

[Premchand1976]

Mike needs to not get into the thick of things...... he's a good commentator ....stick to that.

Tino best need to hush he mc...srs

Holding is one biased MC. I remember when the W.I. were in the midst of their leadership crisis and they gave the captaincy to Gayle. After one victory if you hear praises, how the players "reeeesponding to the leadership" and so on and so forth. It didn't have anything to do with Chris' capability, a large part of it was that he was Jamaican. Of course when it all fell apart his backside unsurpsingly went quiet.

But he usually gets his just deserts like the time mirasmy li'l Ramdin did fork him up — some people said it was disrespectful, I thought it was damn funny.

What a game ....tallawahs needed 9 off last over
..what an amazing over by reifer....they only got 7 off him....tridents win!!!

[*$kїđž!™]

Russel and powell.aint got to.bat...i think dropping the 5 catches and not letting powell and russell bat is a good strategy

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Well i didnt see tridents winning that game...first tactic I see work...drop catches...doh let d guns come out

Maybe now jmca would reshuffle the line up

Holding is a clown. De amount of gobar dat brudda does spout is amazing. First thing was Brian Lara could not handle express pace, despite scoring a hundred against bret lee who serially injured batsmen on a wearing QPO pitch. Then when sarwan was groomed to be skipper, he didn't say anything when they gave it to gayle. Sarwan being the boss that he is didn't complain but if it had been Gayle, ur boy would have caught a fit and cried on the tele to his Sky Sports masters. Then dedicating a whole chapter of his autobiography to Lara's supposed infractions(talk about fixation) which could never be half as much as the World Boss own. Pandya, Bumrah and Kohli made him eat humble pie. Man need to pee and go in his bed yes

[Dizzy28]

Found this interesting. The test batting ranking goes back to even Bradman days (I assume they just standardized the ratings over the time period)
Neither Lara nor Tendulkar makes it into the top 10 all time batsmen -
1. Donald Bradman 961 points in February 1948
2. Steven Smith (947)
3. Len Hutton (945)
4 & 5. Jack Hobbs and Ricky Ponting (both on 942)
6. Peter May (941)
7 - 10. Garry Sobers, Clyde Walcott, Vivian Richards and Kumar Sangakkara (all on 938 points)

I guess consistency played a big part as Lara had a penchant for high scores but only became really consistent in the latter stages of his career.

I think ian bishop fed up talk to russell about it.....he rubbed it in again at the post match....but glad russell actually came out this time and accepted defeat as a man
