The drop
Three years ago, it was Virender Sehwag's 68-ball 83 that made a 387-run mountain look like a hillock in Chennai. With 276 needed here, Ravi Rampaul had the perfect opportunity to deflate the Indian balloon early. Statuesque footwork and a diffident stroke saw the ball come back at him, but though he got a hand to it, he couldn't hold on. Sehwag went on to add 43 more and by the time he left, another platform had been established for those who followed.

Knew he wouldn't have scored those runs without being dropped.

What a fucking moron. When will he grow up and learn? He's blessed with one of the best eyes in the game - he has this ability to see each ball as a beachball; if he just stopped being a fat, lazy prick and worked on develop some technique, he'd be unstoppable.

Sehwag scored another 50

Tendulkar doesn't get his 100th 100.

Fuck.

Also, 1st test between South Africa and Australia has been delayed due to rain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

South Africa have won the toss and will bowl.

Hope Tendulkar flops for a couple of Tests and gets his 100th in Perth. Would be very fitting.

But he'll probably be a dick and get it in Mumbai.

SA vs. Aussies should be a fantastic series. Australia 39-2 at lunch. Shaun Marsh picked in the Test team currently 17* with Ponting 8*. Almost looks like a Twenty20 side from Australia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

41-3 now.

Ponting.

41-3 now.

Ponting.

Aussies all out for 284.

Clarke did get a century though (151), which shows how poorly the rest of them did.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

South Africa were bowled out for 96.



Aussies are 7-1 in their second innings.
