It is both surprising and pathetic that shiv should do it again for a man of his experience.
Both balls were not difficult ones for a man of his stature so he has no one to blame.
Disappointing.

* Shiv is more comfortable against quicks than spinners.
* I guess he never learned the art of playing spin bowling from the great Lara.
* Lara was the greatest player of spin bowling ever.
* Oh well! Every batsman has some kind of weakness or flaw.
* To get out LBW twice in a row---padding out to the same bowler----that is disgraceful.

* Good point---Shiv needs to understand how the DRS works.
* By the way, Shiv was pi$$ed off when he had to head back to the pavilion.
* Maybe he'll seek revenge in the 3rd test. ;D

If he does seek revenge and slam a century,he would be tied with those 2 stalwarts.He clearly has another crack at the score whilst the other two don't and maybe he can get there faster than sanga and Mahela.
who do u think will reach that landmark first,shiv,maybe..??

Sangas has 11493 test runs
Sangs has 9141 test runs if we omit all those games vs Zim and Bangla
21 percent of Sangs runs have come vs minnows.
This doesn't take into account all his flat track, subcontinent runs.

* Sanga's career must be judged in its entirety. You can't chop and change or cut and paste.
* The reality is Sanga will score 11,953 test runs in less innings that Lara.
* By the way, Lara batted in 232 test innings. Did you know that if you removed his 2 highest scores---400* and 375---Lara's test average in the remaining 230 innings is below 50 ?
* But you can't deny Lara his 375 and 400*.
* And the same with Sanga---you can't deny the man his runs against minnows.
