Wow! 8/1 in the 14th over. They really are taking it slow.
 

Must be one of the slowest starts in test cricket I've ever seen.


I might email Cricinfo about that actually, would be an interesting record.
 
Something like 15 overs into a game and whats the lowest score. 13/1 must be up there.

And our third dropped catch... oh dear. Redmond has two of them, not a good omen for his batting

24.6 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, defends with an angled bat to gully.
24.5 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, defends to the onside.
24.4 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, defends.
24.3 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, drifts in and takes the edge past silly-point.
24.2 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, defends to cover.
24.1 Vettori to Rajin Saleh, no run, defends to point.
 
Get this pretty much every over on Cricinfo. Must be incredibly boring to watch live.
 
And to commentate.

I'm loving it. Tense struggle between Australia and India - Test cricket at its best

Oh you mean the black caps training run?

Thats boring as hell, not because of the lack of scoring but because Bangladesh suck so you know they have little or no chance of fighting back.

34-1 at lunch. What a boring as hell session. Luckily i'm watching the real test between Aussie and India on SS3.

Three for me, and two for them.

Yeah bit of a shocker session. Expecting it all to fall apart in the second session though hopefully. If we don't bat today it has not been a good day.

Well, not for India but I was talking about the game itself instead of the situation. Though I was pleased to see the Indians looking like they would pile on the runs.

Tendulkar becomes the all time leading run scorer in test history. A fantastic achievement for a fantastic player. Well done Sachin.

Three for me, and two for them.

Tendulkar gets the runs to go ahead of Lara and the fireworks carry on far to long and the whole thing becomes a bit awkward

f**k i'm getting more and more annoyed by Mark Nicholas by the minute.

"If Aussie get a wicket here it will be one of the great new ball takes of all time"

Like f**k it will. It always happens you daft prick.

I don't mind Mark Nicholas most of the time but f**k he comes up with some bullsh*t every now and then.

Mind you they just got Sachin so i spose it will go down as one of the great new ball takes of all time now

Has Sachin said anything about retiring soon? Cause I can't wait until he comes to NZ even if we get torn apart.

...was lucky enough to see Tendulkar play at MacLean Park in 199...[5, 6, 7 - or something else]

Purchased a cheap-ass camera from the Warehouse, which I lost for a while, and by the time I found it the film had expired.
 
Then they started selling digital cameras - and I was like "no way man they'll steal my bank account number" - then proceeded to wander about in this nifty tin-foil helmet you see me wear today.

Quite a large collapse. 229/5 to 245/10. Vettori grabs a five-for, O'Brien 3 and Patel 2. Finally the torture is over. I'd like to see us score at least 400 if not 500 and see a big century/double-century from someone.

Ganguly gets 100, India 431/6. Looking far too god for the spin(e)-less Aussies.
 
NZ 23/0.
