***Official*** India in England

Soft dismissal from Dhoni there I think he may be getting a few more deliveries in the ribs this series judging by the way he played his last two balls.

Pathetic display from Ganguly and Dhoni today. Come on VVS, show some class.

 

[Raghav]

These days..seems Dhoni is practising Duck practise

You'd think by now they would've been able to get the drinks break to co-incide with the Shipping Forecast.

Anderson and Tremlett looking worthy replacements for Hoggard and Harmison/Flintoff - going to be interesting when (if?) everyone's fit again.

Can tail hang around?

Wow, Indian batsmen being owned by this bowling attack. Quite disappointing really. Hopefully they'll come back stronger in the second innings and the remainder of the series.

A lead of 70-80 could be pretty useful here - still think the weather will have the final say though.

So much for the batting lineups dominating the bowling.

I'd say it without the . It's absolutely true. The ball is swinging and bouncing a bit, and the bowling is accurate, but its certainly shouldn't be 191-7. It's a perfectly fine pitch.

BTW, that drainage system really is amazing....

 

[NZTailender]

Need Sidebottom to bat out of his skin in England's second innings...

 

[silentstriker]

And another...

*sigh*, 220 all out I think.

 

[adharcric]

Zaheer and Sreesanth - stick around and don't be ****s. Laxman, take charge.

 

[silentstriker]

Laxman needs to open up.

 

[silentstriker]

There he goes..the bat just hung out...ah well.

 

[silentstriker]

Bleh, I can't believe we won't last until the next new ball. Really disappointing TBH. It's rare that even my prediction proves too optimistic...

Great bowling from Anderson and Sidebottom, I've been too busy reading Harry Potter to watch much of the game tonight, but I'll try to keep an eye on it.

 

[stumpski]

So who's going to get the five-for?

 

[Perm]

Anderson.
