What is so special about Lords
Just a cricket ground, Mumbai is Sachin's home place
I meant that I remember everyone saying how amazingly fitting it would be when Sachin scored his 100th hundred at Lord's. It didn't happen. It might not happen in Mumbai either.
Oh, and Mumbai's also just a cricket ground, same as every other one! 0 -

No. Place where God was born can't be just a cricket ground :cool:
Imo, Century at Mumbai would be great, would be epic script playing 20 odd years and scoring your 100th 100 in the place where you learnt the sport.0 -

Some sublime TEST cricket in South Africa followed by some mind-numbingly boring stuff in India:mad::mad:
Still...It will probably take another whooping for India this winter in Australia before the BCCI does something about the state of the pitches in India:mad:
Do you think it will happen? No way. We have got our asses spanked in 1999 but we didn't even bother changing the pitches in India.
First 2 test pitches were good, result oriented. This is flat, dead pathetic pitch. No wonder we struggle to produce any genuinely quick bowler. Who wants to do all the donkey work only to get spanked all over and see spinners getting all the wickets. Surely I wouldn't.0 -

Pitch is designed solely for the purpose of Sachin getting his 100th 100 in his home city. its made for an awful test match.
Id rather they produce a better pitch so Varun Aaorn on debut could get a bit of confidence. he seems to have potential also. two pluses of this series are the the two young fast bowlers that have been blooded in test cricket.
they should have played in England ahead of Srinath and RP Singh.0 -

I dont think so. No one was sure whether Sachin would score 100 in the first 2 tests and there was hardly enough time to change the entire nature of the pitch. And Sachin dont need pitch assistance to score 100, after all he has done it 99 times :cool:Ill pop up now with my customary questioning of how good Tendulkars stats would be if he had been playing his cricket somewhere other then they sub continent.....
And run away as I get attacked
His record is good in all the pitches. Maynot be this good, but still he would have been one of the greatest ever player.
Also I would like to see foreign players stats in sub continent if playing in sub continent was that easy.
We play well here as we are used to it, England played brilliantly in England as they are used to those pitches. Simple as that.
One of the greatest batsman Ponting, his record is not that good here, if batting was that easy he would have at least scored few more 100s here.0 -

just had a look at his home and away stats. up to July 2011 he had played 99 test away and 79 at home.
below are the stats.
Sachin Tendulkar, in tests, at home :
79 tests, 6547 runs, best 217, average = 56.93, 22 century, 27 fifty.
Sachin Tendulkar, in tests, away :
99 tests, 8191 runs, best 248*, average = 56.48, 29 century, 32 fifty.
his average home and away almost identical as his conversion rate so i dont tihnk its even a question that needs answering..the stats answer it for us.
it wouldnt have made a differance what team he played in...class is class at the end of the day
below are stats for other batsman too source
