Some interesting comments:
And that caps a remarkable day for India, wicket less
Laxman going on and on and on, Dravid keeping him good company
The 3rd time India have gone through a day without losing a wicket,
first being Mankad & Roy at Chennai 1955/56 and the second being
Yashpal Sharma & GR Vishwanath v England in 81/82 also at Chennai
Laxman on 334 runs in the test, Gavaskar has 344 with 124 & 220
made in his first series in 1970/71 against WI in WI
Laxman & Dravid will, in all likeliness, be on the field on all 5
days of the test
315 runs ahead, 90 overs to be bowled tomorrow. This has been a
comeback of the highest order from India
A complete turn around thanks to VVS Laxman & R Dravid. Laxman
passing a long standing record of 236* by Sunil Gavaskar for the
highest individual score by an Indian batsman
In the process he also passed Rohan Kanhai's 256 for the highest
test score in India
This partnership of 357 runs is India's best partnership for the
5th wicket
VVS Laxman now has to go past Lara 277, Foster 287 & Hutton 364 for
the highest individual test scores against Australia
He is also 25 runs short of being the first triple centurion in
tests for India
There are 23 people ahead of him in the list of highest individual
test scores, level with Cullinan & Gary Kirsten
VVS Laxman also looking to add to his tally of first class triple
hundreds, 2 in all now
