This was where the first four wickets were by Wasim, but looking through all his five wicket hauls, couldn't find where he took the first five himself.

First seven in first innings, first five in second innings to left-armers.

Lunch then. Excellent session for India. If we can restrict the target to below 300, India favourites. Above 300, I would say England has the better chance. 350 plus and England favourites.

Thankfully, Star Cricket team has Bumble but no Botham. We do have Gooch which is interesting because I never heard his views before and he seems to give an honest opinion. Nasser Hussain too. Hussain is the absolute best young commentator for me.

Agree with you on Hussain along with Michael Holding is may favourite Sky commentators.

Yeah, Hussain is tops.

Did Botham just say India would fancy chasing 350 & would be favourites chasing 300?

Nah nah he said England are favourites if India has to chase 350. Well that's atleast what I heard ...

Good stattage. Fair effort.

 

[Turbinator]

Hahaha. Awesome. I was just telling some one that you would probably get a heart attack if we win too.

Damn that doesn't sound too encouraging now that I think about it... .

Haha, love the spirit. Don't worry, I came close to breaking my hand (punching things, the sofa?) a few times during Sreesanth's spell against South Africa - you're not alone. India-Pakistan tests are worse ... I actually start swearing (in hindi, english and whatever) at the Pakistani players. Ready to sacrifice yourself for an Indian win, I hope?

Haha well I am kinda more than optimistic here so I don't really get that mad when India is playing bad, I keep telling myself we're still in this and we can do it.

And yea, dude India-Pak games are killer. Double the intensity and passion.

Yeah but said India would still fancy chasing it and would be favourites chasing 300.

Hopefully KP can make 100 and end this lean form, it's about time.

 

[Turbinator]

Yes, if England score more than 200 in this innings, I choose your avatar for two weeks. If they score less, you can choose mine.

Deal, and oh 200 OR less I choose, more than 200 you choose.

Feeling scared yet SS ?

 

[Pratters]

Nightprowler and I have an avatar bet btw. KP to score less than 100 and I choose his avatar for 2 weeks. Scores, 100, and he chooses my avatar for 2 weeks.

Feeling scared yet SS ?

Not in the slightest. You don't think they can score 39 more runs with five wickets in hand?

 

[Turbinator]

Yeah they can and most likely will. My post was in jest.

Damn this sucks though you'll get me hard, considering what happened last time during the RSA-India series. IIRC we made a bet and I won, and you couldn't say crap about the Indian bowlers and only had to speak good about them for week or two.

 

[NZTailender]

At least he likes eskimos.

He's really getting inuit, you could say.

 

[Turbinator]

Right. And if Malcolm Marshall is reincarnated as an Indian, we might win an away series once in a while too. I'm not holding my breath for it though....

You're not holding your breath for it?

 

[pasag]

He's really getting inuit, you could say.

Haha ice what you did there.

Anyways back on topic

I knew there was a word that they preferred being called, Dad didn't beleive me when I said they don't like being called eskimos.

Anyway, I hope Pietersen tons up because I've missed most of his innings and I'd love to keep watching them.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I have to as I'm in the deep end

I snow you appreciate a good pun.

 

[PhoenixFire]

What time does it start again?
