Though its one of the most amazing feats in cricket, I was little apalled that it had to be another australian cricketer. They are so far ahead of rest of the world. Their domination in the last 7 or so years is simply unimaginable. I hope likes of paks, windies, and nz will bridge the gap sooner than later. N then he scored against zimbabwe, india sanga hanya bhe, ma ni celebrate garthen....anyways..congratulations hayden. my die hard west indies fan must be shattered..sorry for him too!
btw, how u krishna bru ? :) long time hai!

Oys, apologize for the late reply. Doing pretty good bro, just a little busy with college so couldn't keep in touch. K garne, be in Sajha, you loose your GPA. Right now GPA is a little more important to me. :)
Anyways, I agree with you that I am not at all surprised by the Aussie batsman achieving the feat. They have dominated cricket so much in this decade that its hard to believe they even lost a match. They are the world champions, they win most of the series overseas, opponents dont even have to sneak a chance of a match win at their turf, they are the best in the business right now.
Its the mixture of youth and veterans that make this Aussie line up so strong. They got the best, if not the best, bowler in McGrath, they have one of the most prolific openers in Matt Hayden, Ponting is lethal, and so are the others. They field well, they bowl, well and they bat well. They are exciting to watch.
On other note, It was a feast at the Carribeans when Lara broke the record of Sir Gary Sobers, an amazing 8 hour innings of 375. I could see people running all over the ground, picking up Lara, celebrating as if it was their greatest festival. Not so much emotion when an Aussie batsman reached the feat thesedays. One can understand why though. It has been a complete domination of world class cricket by the Australians, who know how to win and this is important to any side in cricket.
Well, we'll see who decreases the gap, but I hope it be Pakistan. They have brought some exciting new youngsters and Miandad knows how to fully use them. If any side can defeat Australia right now, it has to be the unpredictable Pakistan. After the sacking of Pollock, South Africa doesn't stand much of a chance like they use to before, but they still have the line up. India, couldn't tell you much if that was in the Indian wickets. West Indies are coming up strong at the right time, and after a year or two, I am sure they will be a strong contender. Chances are blim for the Kiwis right now, although they played pretty good in drawing the recent test in India. We'll have to see how they perform in the upcoming test. Nathan Astle kept them alive this time. But they are definitely missing the service of Cairns.
