Cricket Australia's player management policy is getting a bit ridiculous. Faulkner is playing a shield game for Tasmania and he only bowled 8 overs out of the first 80 in the innings because he's been put on an over limit to maintain "mental freshness" whatever the gently caress that means.

We think CA has been bought out by the BCCI, rather it's an elaborate ruse where the ECB have got full control over our board via dark magic

Given how poo poo WI are, I don't think India will bat twice. This could be Sachin's last innings.

No I meant that Bradman's duck was in the first innings, so nobody realised it was his last innings until a couple of days later. But that works too

The fellating that the commentators are giving Tendulkar, while expected, is astounding. The last three overs made me think that the commentators were watching a totally different game to me. Tendulkar was obviously extremely nervous leading up to stumps, but the commentators make it seem like he was 350 not out in a park cricket game and smoking the ball everywhere. I am glad he made it to stumps though.

I want him to be out LBW on 99 to a ball that was going wide and over the top, took an edge first, and the bowler overstepped the crease. And then he trips and tears the seat of his pants walking off the ground.

Sachin only needs something like a 17000* to eclipse Bradman's career average. No pressure.

which other recent batsmen have feasted on poor bowling stocks and are therefore better than tendulkar who did it against actual bowlers

I was actually wishing Tendulkar would get a century so badly. Which is odd, because for the last 3 years i've wanted him to fail constantly.

These 6 years is basically the reason people rate him the best in this era. This was when Wasim, Waqar, Saqlain, Warne, McGrath, Murali, Donald, Pollock, Walsh, Ambrose were all playing at their prime. Look at the daylight between him and Lara/Ponting/Dravid/Kallis (all played a similar amount of matches). Ponting and Dravid primed when the great bowlers started retiring. Lara was always inconsistent...he started with a couple of years of brilliance, and ended that way. Tendulkar just played way too long. People tend to remember brilliance more than longevity, so his inevitable decline soured everyone. People who started watching cricket in the 2000s unsurprisingly rate Dravid, Ponting etc higher.

If Atherton made 3000 runs in that time then the bowling couldn't have been that good.
