***Official*** India in England

Great batting from the Indian team.

 

[sideshowtim]

yaaay Kumble!! now he has 10-74 and a hundred in his career. Probably an unbeatable record

Add 500 wickets to that and you've got yourself a very impressive career.

 

[R_D]

You probably won't believe me, but I called Kumble's ton on MSN when he was on about 30 odd. NUFAN will back me up tomorrow.

Also, Sreesanth looks so accomplished as a batsman when he's out there. He plays some dire shots at times but his technique always looks very good. He should be up at 9 IMO, and I think he has a future at 8.

I'm rather suprised why RP singh comes in ahead of him. Sreesanth looks capable of holding the bat.

 

[silentstriker]

I love the Oval groundskeeper. He's got to be Indian, no?

 

[jeevan]

Last 5 wickets have now put on 300!

Amazing.

Also Sreesanth's highest ever in a test.

 

[silentstriker]

Amazing.

Especially for India, it is.

 

[stumpski]

KP getting caned here. Looking at Collingwood's figures, you have to wonder why he hasn't bowled more.

 

[Prince EWS]

I love the Oval groundskeeper. He's got to be Indian, no?

I was thinking, too, if England had been 1-0 up in this series and this wicket got served up, I can just imagine some the Indian fans whinging about doctored wickets promoting dull draws against the spirit of the game.

 

[Majin]

Yeah I also wonder why Sreesanth is coming in at number 11, he seems to be a much more competent batsman than RP Singh at least.

Speaking of Sreesanth, yet another 50 on the cards in this innings? It would be epic

 

[Sanz]

Can SreeSanth get his 50 today ?

 

[Sanz]

Tendulkar 82 in 192 balls (and that looks better because of the attacking field set by Vaughan)
Kumble 109 in 192 balls.

 

[Majin]

It's not to be. But nevermind, that was still god damn epic innings for us and loved every moment of it

 

[Prince EWS]

Tendulkar 82 in 192 balls (and that looks better because of the attacking field set by Vaughan)
Kumble 109 in 192 balls.

Dravid 55
Kumble 110

OMG drop Dravid he is past it!!!

Yup.

And that ends the innings.

Dravid 55
Kumble 110

OMG drop Dravid he is past it!!!

Agreed. Kumble and Dhoni to open in Australia.

 

[Sanz]

Dravid 55
Kumble 110

OMG drop Dravid he is past it!!!

TBF - Kumble 110*

 

[TheGreatAusie]

Well, 664 a/o. Excellent batting from the Indians. Must say, when I watched the Lords test India looked completely out of place, great come back imo.

 

[silentstriker]

Panesar tries to give Sreesanth a stare, which doesn't work on a number of counts


Staring someone down doesn't work when they've just put up 664 and your figures are 160/2. And you're Panesar.

 

[jeevan]

Agreed. Kumble and Dhoni to open in Australia.

That's funny only because we seem to now have a stable opening pair at last. Few months ago, this could have been part of a serious conversation.

Tendulkar 82 in 192 balls (and that looks better because of the attacking field set by Vaughan)
Kumble 109 in 192 balls.

Lol, just enjoy the moment Sanz
