Anonymous dude,
Take a hike buddy. Tendulkar blasted the 150 km/ph CHUCKER Shoaib in WC03.
VVSL scored 4 centuries against McGrath, Lee, Gillespie, Fleming,Williams
and Kasprowicz.
Dravid scored 3 centuries in the last two series against the same bowling
attacks.
Tendulkar and Sehwag scored centures against Pollock, Ntini, Nel, Donald and
Kallis.
What more do you want dude.

Tendulkar scored a century on BOUNCY WACA PERTH in his first series to Aus.

Ok Lee had the upper hand in PERTH ODI. Whats the big deal, its only ONE
match
and Melbourne is the second. But Indian batsman gave Lee nightmares in the
VB series in earlier rounds.

The Aussies, the Proteas and the Black caps ALWAYS complain about indian
dust bowl pitches. So I dont understand all this hoopla about indian batsman
not being able to face the the pace.

> A Test batting average of 83 & an odo average of 51 against India

Zaheer Abbas averages 87 against India in tests(and thats over 19
tests as compared to Hayden's 7)

Zaheer averages 51 against India in ODI's...and India inspite of being
arch rivals to Pak, he never made hopeless statements like
Hayden...he let the bat do the talking not his mouth...

Just to give you an idea...Zaheer Abbas(apart from Sehwag) is the only
batsman to have 3 fastest centuries in the top 30 odd fastest
centuries in ODI history (sub 80 balls)

http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/ODIS/BATTING/ODI_BAT_FASTEST_100S.html

but he never made comments as to India being intimidated just based on
one match...when in reality, there have been situations where Mohinder
was knocked unconscious on 2 occasions by Pak...

and before you jump,Zaheer would beat Hayden fair and square when it
comes to batting...in any form of the game...Just for the record, he
was called the "Asian Bradman"

totally devalues his comments on them.

ability.

If Using *** when playing cricket is legal,then any damn thing is

Hey, you know what...Bill Lawry was very upset when the media(and
TonyGreig) was creating such a huge roar about the Tendulkar LBW
decision from Bucknor..guess what, BillLawry was never given LBW in
his entire cricketing career when he played in Australia.

Maybe more. They played two tests against Zim, flew over for the TVS
cup, came back here for four tests and VB series. If anyone should be
tired, it's the aussies.

Check Ponting's scores in SL last time before posting with your binary
score of an IQ next time.

So? George Headley was the Black Bradman, Pollock the South African
Bradman, Tendulkar the new Bradman and so on.

Just because they're called it doesn't mean they actually hold a candle
to Bradman does it?

Yes I think you're right if all the batsmen go out without making runs it
would much easier for India to win. Don't live with ifs and maybes.

Check his score in India during his last tour and Murali is a better
spinner than Harby. OK My IQ is 1 and your's is 0 and still mine is
better than you, you idiot.

Why? they are all living in hotels and away from home aswell. They don't go
home every night after a match.

Ah, he's not going to India and he's not facing Harby. So why would
those scores matter as much or as more as his last tour to SL, when he
did face Murali and scored plenty of runs off him, the only aussie to do so?

Well said. Hayden is a pathetic hack who only gets runs from french-cuts
and leg glances. He should be ashamed of himself.

***y grafters. They ruin the game.

Ah yes, here's one of the f*wits who bagged Hayden for waiting for the 3U on
a scooped C&B.

There's another thread not far away where you can express your sentiments
about Laxman. Knock yourself out.

Well I assume you're going to be bagging Laxman now.
