***Official*** India in England

Very good session from India, they pushed on from a good position and are now clearly dominating. They should look for a lead of about 200 before they start to consider declaring, depending on whether we lose any time due to rain, and what the forecast is looking like. Tendulkar and Ganguly both looking good, I'm really hoping that the Little Master can get those 13 runs.

Where's that dude who wanted a nigh****chmen for Ganguly? Still think it was the wrong choice?
I don't think he ever said it was the wrong choice, just that it had potential to be a mistake from team management.

England now 34.00 to win. The chance of an Indian win and a draw has remained the same however (1.33 for the Indian win, 3.40 for the draw). The over/under on Tendulkar's inning is 128...so lets hope he gets a century.

Of course it doesn't make them a dick, but it gives me the impression that they are. I am going to judge people on what I see, how else am I supposed to form an opinion on a particular player?
Well like I said, his story, what he's done, what he's overcome, the things he's said (although judging a person on what they've said in the media is dodgy as) etc. Not something as minimal about what face they make after they bowl a delivery. And quite often there isn't enough information to judge a players personality, so I'd refrain from doing so personally.

Great session from India. Didn't expect them to go wicketless and full credit to them that they did. Go for the kill now, imo!

He said this..

I just can't believe why Ganguly was sent in with only couple of overs remaining, thank god he is still there. Tendulkar what a gun, with 11000 test runs, total legend.
Meaning he thought Ganguly shouldn't have came in..

Night watchman thing is real ****. I dont believe in it. Why do you need a tailender to bat when you a have a specialist batsman in your side..

The thing is, you can still be a dick despite the fact you have overcome some big obstacles in your life. It's not just what face he makes, it's his general demeanour after he bowls and I think that kind of aggression is quite forced and looks ridiculous, especially with the regularity in which it comes across, that applies to the facial expressions, hands on head etc also. I am not judging his personality, he could, and probably is a fine bloke, but I dislike the way he acts on the field and I think it makes him look like a dick.

To protect the batsmen from facing two or three overs in fading light.

Can you ask a tailender to open the innings to protect your batsman against swinging/moving delivery?
It's happened before, Kyle Mills was promoted to #3 in order to protect Stephen Fleming from the conditions. It was not a sucess. Nigh****chmen are far more common and likely to suceed though.
