Now this is a day not too many Indian fans will want to remember. The only good thing to come out of it was Umesh Yadav‘s six and the fact that Sachin, uhm… Er, got a little closer to 20,000 Test runs (phew, had to come up with something there).
Our tweeters weren’t out of form though, thankfully. Here’s a sample of what kept their followers amused, apart from the Indian batting.
(PS: Apologies for the lack of a Test 1 Day 3 tweet collection, internet outage at author’s home)
Dear Zak. Please don’t go for such catches and risk some serious injury. Thx- 60 potential wickets or a catch in a hopeless game? @sidvee has his choice
One is glad Zak doesn’t jump up to celebrate wickets. Eliminates a way to get injured.- Good thing @raytida isn’t a physio.
Laxman and Dravid can repeat their Kolkata heroics from ’01. Except this time Dravid needs tomake just 11- Before the massacre, @sidvee does some number crunching.
Sehwag’s bat is sponsored by Hero. And Gambhir’s by MRF. Bike. And tyre. Perfect combination.- Mixing and matching was always @rameshsrivats’ forte.
Fair enough. Was becoming too one-sided.- At 4 wickets down, @sidin graciously accepts that the game is bigger than an Indian win.
Sachin Tendulkar strides to the crease. Will this be the innings, where we finally see him attackRicky Ponting with a stump?- @AltCricket voices what we’ve all been dreaming since the 2003 final
Overcome by the history of the venue, were we?- Obviously, orating skills has no place in @i_r_squared’s book
This test is heading for a photo finish. Aus heading for the photo. Ind heading for the finish.- Clever analysis by @diogeneb, this
Follow-on averted, way to go boys! #moralvictory- Small joys for @maxdavinci
Oh! Oh! Indian cricket team change in strategy, instead of collapsing in 1st innings of tour now it’s2nd innings”- @Akhil_c insists things have changed
In the end, One former British Colony was the winner.- @congusmaximus gets all empire-y on us
And, as a little distraction, away from the Melbourne Mauling:
Oho… Just #noted Srilanka’s resurgence in South Africa. Moral of the story being: Salary works.- @ABvan discovers an HR truth
