Misses Lara by 81.



Sehwag missed the 400 mark by 81 runs. He was in a nice touch for the past two days but fell to Ntini when he was on 319, highest individual score by an Indian. He is the first cricketer to score a triple century on Indian soil. No cricketer has ever scored a triple century. He is the third player in cricketing history to score two triple centuries after Lara and the legendary cricketer Sir Don Bradman. Sehwag was dropped recently from test cricket for his poor form. So a nice way to come back.
A sad day for cricket fans today in the Chepauk stadium for the little master fans. He was out for a DUCK. He used to play well every time in this ground even if others failed to play well in Chepauk. I think this is the first time he was out for a Duck in this venue. I am not sure about this information. So the little master failed to impress his fans in Chennai. This could be his last test in this ground. Chennai hardly gets to host a test of one day international match between Indian and some other nation due to some unknown reason. Most of the matches go to north, east or west venues and a match comes to our place rarely.

It was happy for one thing. The wall stood here and showed that he is the best in test cricket. It is acceptable that he is not good for shorter version of the game because he is born to rule the test cricket. Also no one can be compared with his consistency in test cricket. The wall is one of the the best!
