***Official*** India in England

Cheers lads. Yeah, can't complain about the dodgy luck from the test perspective but man...at least it could have been Dada (not that I want him to fail, of course...just this one time for Sachins sake)

 

[Raghav]

Its a big test for VVS. If he doesnt perform now, then the doors will be half open

 

[Raghav]

oh man..

 

[Dravid]

As long as everyone for the rest of this innings makes less then 91 i'm happy..

And the English innings too.

 

[NUFAN]

Its a big test for VVS. If he doesnt perform now, then the doors will be half open

Really? How about if he makes a 40 or so?

 

[pasag]

Looking forward to a 6 ball Dhoni 50 later in the day.

 

[Salamuddin]

If Dhoni can get in and not get dismissed early, there could be some fireworks later ....the game is ideally poised for someone like him to come in and blast quick runs before the declration

 

[Raghav]

Believe me, he is rated more than that IMO..

Here in India, century is the benchmark for every batsman. A century can put him in the side for the another 4-5 tests

 

[Scaly piscine]

Clearly not out. Pitched outside off, going pretty much straight on outside off. Hard luck for Tendulkar but that balances the scale for this test somewhat.

Not really, it doesn't come close. Now it's almost certainly too late for England to make a game of this given our flashy but average batting lineup.

Interesting? Howz that possible?

But not today, I hope.

Why?

You would be a very tough selector..

My point was I don't think the door will be half closed on Laxman if he makes 40 today..

 

[Dasa]

Interesting that in his last couple of innings at Trent Bridge, Tendulkar has made 92 and 91.

 

[Dravid]

Laxman has got his license back to drive. Good shot

 

[NUFAN]

Interesting? Howz that possible?

A few overthrows..

Way to miss "somewhat" ...

Wait...it's not?

Gorgeous cover drive by Laxman there.
