The man has proved that he is not finished and he did his job in the conditions he does best. 4/32 and just two more batters to follow. He scored his most fluent century since 2006 and that is his best innings since 2007, the time when he has struggled for runs and form.
He seized Sachin's moment and proved that he is far from being finished. This was an uncharacterstic Dravid innings. Pretty fast and ensuring that he gets the runs on the board along with the run rate to ensure that Lankans are pulled out of the game.
Dropping or axing from the ODIs helped a lot for him as he went to the Ranji arena and scored fluently against Delhi.
He's proved his critics wrong, he;s crossed 11k run mark and extended his career. He is in typical Dravid mould now and he should bat longer today to ensure that India reach as long as it can to bat the character and reputation guys out of the match.
Had Dhoni being not out late last day, Indians would have looked good to score a 500. Right now a lot depends on how Sardaar bats. He has beeen decent in the Tests and India would look forward to him and Zaheer to follow to do an encore of Bangalore 2008 when they outbatted gunning Aussies and that changed the course of the game.
A score more than 450 would ensure that India would not need not to bat longer in the 2nd innings.
MS and Yuvraj scored runs and thats praiseworthy to see. Yuvraj has been in good form since Saurav retired and he has stepped in well to replace Saurav at the 6.
Dhoni scored his 2nd hundred in Tests and he just got out at wrong time.
Chanaka Walasomething did good job in the morning to root out the cream of Indian Test batting. Unfortunately he could not get assistance when the batting became easy later in the day.
An interesting day of Test cricket which showed plenty of character in the Indian team. Lol. DIng Dong -- sing song, keep your comments
