The first day of the first test in the new year, saw action from the onset, with 13 wickets falling by stumps. SRT didn’t get to his milestone again, Gambhir failed, the tail wagged, Ponting looks to be in fine touch and Ravi Shastri continued to make ridiculous comments on air yet again.
Let’s see what the Twitterati had to say.
Tendulkar away with three silken fours. He’s on 14. Just 615 more to beat AEJ Collins’ highest-recorded score in any cricket match.- @ZaltzCricket aimed for a little more than what most of us would have settled for.
Perfectly edged by Sehwag, and Haddin plays into his trap by catching it perfectly. #OnlySehwagCanDismissSehwag- @i_r_squared could write a coaching manual.
I think, this time, India is getting the second innings out of the way first.- Seeing off the new ball is so 20th century, believes @rameshsrivats
Tendulkar does remind one so much of a young Rohit Sharma.- The similarity is striking, says @sidin
Dhoni is currently proofreading his press release by removing all “I”s and replacing them appropriately with “our batting unit” or “team”- It’s a team game after all, believes @ABVan
@rameshsrivats sorry sir, he’s entrusted with a far greater responsibility – CSK has to win IPL and CL next year, nothing less would do.- @ABVan shoots down @rameshsrivats’ query about whether Stephen Fleming would consider coaching India…
Tagline suggestion for Gautam Gambhir‘s DHI hair transplant ad – We promise the ‘ball’ will be all over you.- @diogeneb could turn copywriter in the blink of an eye
Gautam Gambhir led Pattinson at KKR and didn’t give him a single game.#facepalm- The meek will indeed inherit the earth, according to @congusmaximus
Has india ever won a test match with ganguly on air?- @maxdavinci finds a connection we’ve all been ignoring.
Dhoni just overtook sachin as the highest run getter this year.- @shanu8 is up and running as far as stats are concerned.
Dear God, when I said I wanted to relive my childhood, this is not what I meant. #indvsaus- It’s all too 90s-flashbacky for @cowmaa
TWEET OF THE DAY:
The last guy who tormented India at Sydney ended up at Big Boss 4 years later. James Pattinson, be warned.- @congusmaximus warns of the dangers of performance.
