impressive figures those.

How many spectators killed though :?:

[CobraSS]

tipping a draw :lol:

[Courty]

I just wanna know how short the boundaries are? :shock:

[Bruce]

7/1079 over 4 days play. :roll:

The boundaries aren't necessarily short but th pitch is another sub-continent road.

[Jarro]

just read an interview with Sehwag on Foxsports where he critisised the wicket for being TOO batsman friendly :shock:

well d'uh :roll:

seems like a waste of 5 days if you know you aren't going to get a result AT ALL

[Moe Norman]

watch sehwag go for Lara's record

[Bruce]

watch sehwag go for Lara's record

There's nothing else to play for.

Unless some miracle sees a pitch that has had 7 wickets fall in 4 days suddenly turn feral and the remaining 23 wickets fall in just 3 sessions.

[AndyP]

I guess there is no chance of sporting declarations either.

[Vas]

not in the first test between two sworn enemies.

[McMw]
