***Official*** India in England

[Turbinator]

Man I almost had a hear attack. But thank heavens Dhoni and Sree have seen it through..... till now.

 

[Turbinator]

Remember the West Indies? We should've won 3-0 but for the run. We've always gotten screwed by the rain in the past too. Deserve some of this. The umbrellas are out, btw!

Exactly, it's time us Indians get some luck going our way too.

 

[adharcric]

Anyone up for a RAINDANCE ??

You put your left hand in,
You put your left hand out,
And you shake the clouds about
Thats what it's all about

Keep at it. Drizzling now. Don't stop dancing.

 

[silentstriker]

Yeah but the rain doesn't make India a better team. They've batted ****e this game against an ordinary bowling line-up.

The bowling has not been ordinary.

Yes they have played bad, but with a draw here... We can look to change that .

South Africa, third test in 1997 was pretty poor too. It is a light drizzle, not heavy rain btw and with 3 hours of cricket left to go, the game is far from over.

 

[pasag]

Meh, pretty good chance they'll get back on with three or so hours left, you'd think. Enough for one wicket at least.

I suggest we sing that Lagaan rain song instead!

That's alright. I'm sure the batsmen realize that they've batted like ****, regardless of the result. Dravid's and Sachin's BP must be 200 about now. I'll take the draw, thank you.

 

[irfan]

India's present score is equivalent to England's second innings effort. I'd say the extra 90-odd runs England gained in the first innings is purely the amount of runs Cook, Strauss & Vaughan tucked off their pads on the first morning.

 

[Jono]

The bowling has not been ordinary.

Anderson's bowled extremely well. Sidebottom has done his usual thing and Tremlett has been solid.

I haven't thought Monty's done anything special by any means.

You proceed. Need to get ready for work.

Anderson & Sidebottom bowled very well in the first dig though tbf

Yeah but I'd hardly be delighted about it.

 

[viktor]

Nope. If you remember, the clouds just passed by with that song. waste of time really. I like irfan's better and it works.

Lol at the BBC. They dont care if there's still one wicket left, they think England's won it already.

England 298 & 282 bt India 201 & xxx by xx runs

 

[irfan]

Yeah but I'd hardly be delighted about it.

More relief, than delight. Going down 1-0 in a 3-test series is really tough to recover from, especially in unfavourable conditions.

Indeed. We win on Duckworth/Lewis. Such is the law.
