Watch cricket highlights: India vs Sri Lanka, Day 5 of the 1st Test played at Ahmedabad on November 20, 2009.

Scoreline: India 412/4 – Match drawn/saved Sachin Tendulkar 100 no, Gautham Gambhir 114, VVS Laxman 51 no

Gambhir looked certain to repeat his Napier test knock vs NZ before he attempted to knock Herath out of a line and length that had been annoying him.

By the end of the day, the pitch had become the villain in the piece, which is odd because the same conditions could easily have won the game for SL against a different set of batsmen. It’s like – so often you’ll see a batsman struggle against a ball and commentators will start referring to it as unplayable. But a better batsman or even the same player in a different frame of mind will smack it and not much will be made of it unless the batsman is perhaps Sachin and the commentator Martin Crowe.

There was a sense of deja vu when Tendulkar and Laxman got together and I finally realized it was Day 5 of the 1st 2008 Test vs Australia. On that occasion however, Sachin had got ruffled by a will-we-won’t-we-go-off-for-the-light situation and gotten out.

One of the aspects of Tendulkar’s batting especially in test cricket over the last 4-5 years is a certain stillness that seems to often surround his every move. To call it artistic sounds light. It’s more like that fleeting feeling you sometimes get if you’re alone next to a lake or something and you just know you’re one with the lake despite the rational in you ridiculing the feeling. So in his case, it just seems in phases like he’s one wit

    You guys are f-ing great- and have always been. it amazes me how there are so many a***holes who come on here and came on your previous site and criticize you- telling you to hurry up or complaining in some way… these. highlights.are.free… FREE YOU W***ERS!!! great quality as well.. apologies for rant- but i think it needed to be said. you guys are truly selfless to give so much of your time to providing a sevice for free (and with a cheeky bit of humor i might add), so cheers lads… Now that ive got my head out of admin’s bumfluff, its another quality ton from voldemort himself (no ricky, your never going to catch him :) ) i hope the f***er gets to 50. also kudos to mahela- unbelievably underated batsman- look at his average for god’s sake!

    Thank you – you give me more credit than necessary – Admin

    I second all the other people here.
    I am sick of major league a**holes coming here and complaining about, really, anything. I mean, its all for free and yet the highlights packages are much better than I would have seen on TV.
    When I go back to India and I still miss a match for some reason, I will prefer to see the highlights on this site rather than on the cable…

  11. Shinwari Mama says:

    Nice Match. I thought Serilanka will win the match but ti didn’t happen

  12. Tickles says:

    This is great. Really appreciate all your effort. Thanks for editing and uploading.

  13. admin says:

    Hey thanks but I don’t think anyone complained today right?

  14. Jaimy says:

    Did Russell Arnold say ‘Teat’? I know he must’ve meant teeth.

    No offense, but I’ve yet to hear a good Sri Lankan commentator. All of em either have bad accents or bad english or in Russell’s case both + a bad voice. They do seem knowledgeable tho.

  15. Jaimy says:

    Admin, did you always use to moderate comments or is that a recent development?

  16. admin says:

    @Jaimy – It started around the T20 World Cup when India-Pakistan stuff went overboard

  17. Jaimy says:

    That’s a shame. I feel ‘monitored’ now :( .

    But I’ve seen some ugly unnecessary stuff here and see your point.

  18. Soul Curry says:

    Chief,
    Thanks so much for maintaining this site. I am one of the unfortunate ones who live in a part of the world where they don’t telecast cricket. Your website has filled that gap. Sometimes (like in this test) your “jist” of the match is far more exciting than watching the match live. Keep up the great work.

    Cheers,
    S.Curry
