Post Commentary Session 

Kohli: I was really struggling when I was in the 70s and the 80s. I wanted to bat with Suresh Raina and be there till the end. I was trying to hit the ball too hard at the start, but thanks to Vijay for calming me down and telling me to focus on timing. Someone like Yuvraj batting at the other hand is a welcome sight as he can help with his experience. We just decided to build a long partnership and capitalize on the Batting Powerplay. I have been given a fair chance at number three, the captain has shown immense faith in me and I would love to bat at that number. The dew allowed the ball to come easily onto the bat.

Virat Kohli is the MoM for his outstanding 118 which guided India to victory.

Dhoni: We wanted to get a decent start. Although Dhawan got out, Yuvraj and Kohli shared a decent partnership. During the break in the Aus innings, we wanted to know how much dew was there. I thought that the spinners would get turn, but the wicket was flatter than expected. Cameron White tore us apart at the end, but our batsmen stepped up to the plate. When Yuvi is batting, he is a free scoring stroke maker. Virat has been criticized for not converting his starts into big scores, but he capitalized on this opportunity today. What is important is we have to go out and win the last game on Sunday. We have tried some things today and it has worked out well.

Michael Clarke: I thought we had enough on the board. Cameron White played the best ODI innings that I have seen. The Indians scored freely in the first 15 overs, Kohli scored a century and the Indians were just too good today. Hastings and McKay were good with the ball. We have to rebuild, the boys are excited about the next game and we have some improvements to make in some areas.

Interesting fact:

1. The last seven highest scores of Kohli in ODIs have all resulted in a victory for India.
2. 50th ODI win for Dhoni as skipper, India have maintained their perfect record at this stadium at Vizag - played 3 and won 3

India Australia Test Cricket - Bangalore

Beautiful batting display by Sachin Tendulkar again in Bangalore to save the test from Cricket Australia.  And he scores the display of his class with a marathon unbeaten 191 as India restored the balance in the second and final cricket Test against Australia with a solid batting show on Monday at Chinnaswamy cricket stadium, Bangalore.

It was nice that through cricket online I was able to catch all the cricketing action even if I am at work

Brief Cricket score at the end of the Day 3

Sachin Tendulkar 191*(319)

M Vijay 139(310), for complete cricket scorecard check here

he 37-year-old batting maestro, who has been in stunning form in the last three months, played a virtual sheet anchor role to guide India not only to a safe position but from where they can push for a 2-0 series win.

Tendulkar and Vijay, who scored his maiden Test century, were involved in a record 308-run partnership for the third wicket which laid the foundation of India's spirited reply.

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (11) was giving Tendulkar company at stumps on an eventful third day.

Milestone man Tendukar, who on Sunday became the first batsman to score 14,000 Test runs, today wrote another record to his name by making a 150-plus score for the record 20th time, surpassing Brian Lara's 19.

With two full days left, India will now try to gain a substantial first innings lead and try to put pressure on the Australians on the M Chinnaswamy track which is expected to provide some help to the slow bowlers.

Tendulkar and Vijay surpassed the 222-run mark, set by Allan Border and Kim Hughes in Chennai in 1979, as Australia went wicket-less in the first two sessions of the day.

Tendulkar, who is now approaching his sixth double ton, has so far struck 20 fours and two sixes in his 319-ball knock.

After the match at the interview with the experts

Mitchell Johnson "It's been a tough day. Big partnership of 300. Hilfenhaus did a very good job fo us. The debutant Peter George also did well. As a fast bowler, you wanted to see some bounce and carry; it was a bit too slow. We stuck through the day and got a few wickets in the end to put some pressure on them. We saw the signs of deterioration at the end. Some kept low, couple jumped. We have to wait and see what happens tomorrow. Will the sun come out. We have to use the harder ball tomorrow morning and try take a few wickets."

Vijay: "It was really special knock for me. I would like to dedicate this to my mom. It was a dream come true for me to play with Sachin. I was just focused on each ball and not try to think too far ahead. In that regard Sachin paaji helped me a lot. He gave me pep-talks through the day. After the tea I got tired; I didn't want to give my wicket away but ended up playing a bad shot. I am trying to just keep things simple and work on my basics; whenever I get my opportunities I want to do well."

After effects of Afridi retirement on Pakistan Cricket Board

Shahid Afridi  stunned Pakistan Cricket Board and its supporters with the decision to quit Test cricket after the second game of their series against Cricket  Australia. The decision was announced by Afridi himself after losing the first test of the two match series played against Australia in a neutral venue at Lords.Pakistan Cricket has to act faster to find a suitable replacement for the upcoming England Test series which is slated to begin  after the ongoing series against Australia.

 Pakistan Cricket which had gained momentum after defeating Australia in the Twenty Twenty series was taken  a step backwards with the retirement decision of Afridi.The key question was the timing of Shahid Afridi and there has been remarks that Pakistan Cricket Board should rename itself as Pakistan Confused board.

The former  Pakistan international players has been quick to jump against Pakistan Board and Shahid Afridi, Javed Mianadad, former captain of Pakistan  and Director General of Pakistan Cricket Board had said that he had been pained at the way Afridi has conducted himself on the retirement issue and he thought  that it has been a violation of code of conduct as team management was not taken into confidence.

Sources in Pakistan Board was of the opinion that Afridi had the capabilities of leading Pakistan  Cricket in Test Cricket for along time as he  was a great motivator of team.The 30 year old Afridi had been forced to come back into test cricket following the PCB  indefinite bans to former skipper Younus Khan and Mohammad Yousuf.The ban had been lifted but Yousuf had retired from international cricket  and Younus is not a member of this current Pakistan team.

Pakistan Cricket board is under pressure to recall Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan to bolster the test team . 35 year old Mohammed Yosuf had said on July 19  2010  that he is ready to come out of retirement provided he is invited with due respect.

Pakistan Cricket Board will find it difficult to have an easy decision on Mohammed Yosuf as Yousuf has not appealed against indefinite ban.It will not be easy ride for the board to get Pakistan Test Cricket on tracks after the Shahid Afridi issue.
