Sachin's been stumped just once in test cricket... that's an impressive achievement for a man who comes down the wicket to spinners....

I could not see the video in office ...Was he stumped in Vaughan's ball ??? I want to see if ever Dravid was stumped in test cricket.

He was stumped by James Foster in Ahley Giles' bowling....It was the series where Nasser Hussain infamously advocated the use of a negative line against Tendulkar. It wasn't a great tactic as Sachin plundered 307 runs in 4 inngs at an average 76.75 and ended up getting the man of the seires award. He repeated this with a man of the sries award for the one day series as well where he got 266 runs in 6 matches. Coming back to this match, this was the official cricinfo report

Ashley Giles eventually won a lengthy duel with Sachin Tendulkar, dismissing the Indian maestro for 90, and Virender Sehwag is the last man out for an entertaining if chancy 66.Sehwag played and missed often enough to keep the bowlers interested, while at the other end Giles maintained his leg-stump line as Tendulkar played him with watchful caution.

The tone changed, though, when Sehwag decided to go after Giles, and the crowd roared their approval as he went down the pitch to hit the Warwickshire left-armer over midwicket for four. Not to be outdone, Tendulkar emulated the stroke before sweeping Giles for another boundary in an over that eventually cost 12 runs. But the change of policy ultimately failed him, as he gave Giles the charge in his next over, missed and was out stumped for the first time in his meteoric Test career.

AF, LM why dont we start collecting videos of sachin's series by series. That would give us an opportunity to discuss the value of each of sachin's innings be it a fifty, a ton or even a valuable 30 or 40....wat say....We can start from this series between India and England.....

Interesting trivia this. Dravid's also been stumped just once and that too against the same Ashley Giles but with Alec Stewart as WK. This was again in 2002 albeit in the historic Leeds test match of the return series in England where each of the big 3 got hundreds.....

We need to catalog the videos we have and it's a long pending job Once I do that, we can start discussing them, I think.

Thanks for the information Arvind. Sachin was bowled in Vaghuan's ball in the same series. I remember he missed a milestone athu double century ah illa century ah nu therla. Antha series lam "Azhagiya kaana kaalam".

^ Sachin was bowled by Vaughan for 92 in Nottingham, 2002. It was the fourth test match and from what I remember Vaughan got quite a few wickets in that series.....Epic series that, with contributions from each of the big 3.....Always loved the days when Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly played together in their peak...As you said " azhagiya kanaa kaalam"...

I used to fight lot with Sachin fans those days in my hostel though I never wanted him to get out .
