***Official*** India in England

[TT Boy]

Mesmeric collapse, nine wickets fell for under 90 runs but I still think we have a 'decent' total. The Indians should be over the moon though.

I'm tempted to buy earlier wickets and Sporting Index are offering decent value on Wasim Jaffer, they think his a better bet (batsman) than Karthik.

 

[Perm]

You'll hear me say this again in a million years, but I'm officially an Indian for this Test series.

Where's your loyalty at son?

Gotta love the enthusiasm that Turd brings to the thread, his optimism is great.

Why can't Zaheer bowl like that all the time eh?. If he can do that day in day out he'll be a bloody good bowler. Sreesanth bowled very well too.

Anyone else not liking using a "ngh****chman". I don't stand it personally and I see no reason as to why a nigh****chman shall do a better job than a top order batsmen. It's basically gifting the opposition a free wicket.

I think the CW filter has got it right. It is nigh****chman.
Great bowling by India apparently.
Hope Karthick and JAffer stay on at least till the next rain break.

 

[Sanz]

Wow Last 9 English wickets fell for 80 runs. Good bowling India.

 

[NUFAN]

Sending out a Nigh****chman is probably worth it, just because it does save you losing a proper batsman. If a batsman is going to get nervous about having to face the last few balls of a day and stress himself out about not wanting to get out and end up getting himself out anyway, it'd be much more worth it to sacrifice a tailender for that, imho.

Jaffer to be out without reaching double figures.

I love it when the night watchman gets out, then the batsmen does too

Was Jason Gillespie Australia's last night watchmen?

 

[00Georgie00]

Actually don't like him, or just because he bowled your team out?

Both..and he looks like a monkey - don't you reckon?

 

[Perm]

Both..and he looks like a monkey - don't you reckon?

Not particularly, no.

 

[00Georgie00]

Not particularly, no.

Look harder.

DROPPED!!!!!!!!!!!

Edged and dropped, Prior should've swallowed it. Two hands son.

 

[Dasa]

Haha calm down Turb.

 

[Bob Bamber]

Bloody Prior , why is he still there. Get him out NOW

 

[chalky]

Shocking drop from Prior - a shame because Sidebottom really deserved a wicket.

 

[Majin]

Edged and dropped, Prior should've swallowed it. Two hands son.

Looked like he was a bit late on it to me, he was reaching behind him and pushed it away. Should have taken it though, definitely.

 

[Richard]

Bloody Prior , why is he still there. Get him out NOW

That's, what, the 3rd or 4th catch (at best) he's dropped?

Bit OTT there. I hate drops but you can't crucify him for that.

 

[adharcric]

Prior is awesome.

 

[Turbinator]

Prior man I love you more than Sreesanth!!!

Anyways, good stuff from the English bowlers here.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Bloody Prior , why is he still there. Get him out NOW

You want Chris Read back?

 

[Perm]

Nah, he's crap

Haha thanks.

Haha calm down Turb.

I will try, but can't promise .
