***Official*** India in England

[silentstriker]

Actually, looking at this pitch and how Bell is going, there might have been a good chance of a win had they gone for it starting yesterday.

 

[sideshowtim]

India will be highly praised for this series, but it's been pretty even if you ask me. A 1-1 should've been the correct result.

 

[pasag]

Lol, Bell gone. Some late match action.

 

[Prince EWS]

India will be highly praised for this series, but it's been pretty even if you ask me. A 1-1 should've been the correct result.

Looking at it test by test I'd agree, but I still think India have been the better team overall this series. And, really, India would have been praise even if it was 1-1. Touring England is not easy by any means, injured bowlers or not, so a drawn series still would have been a good result for India.

Seriously, WTF was he thinking? Where is the percentages in that shot?! Horrific stuff.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, was that bouncer deliberate from Kumble? Certainly the first time I've seen a spinner deliberately dig it in short to get it up shoulder high if so!

Nah. Warney did it quite a few times.

 

[sideshowtim]

Yeah I remember Warney doing it to someone in the Ashes. Pietersen it might have been.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah. Warney did it quite a few times.

I remember Warne bowling a few seam-up, but Kumble bowled that as a top spinner - I don't recall Warne ever doing that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Tendulkar 18-0-76-0

Those figures really don't do Tendulkar justice at all IMO. He's looked threatening all innings.

Ah, well fair enough then, but that's not what you said initially tho.

 

[silentstriker]

Overthrow....*sigh*

England could have won this match i feel if they had just played a bit more aggressively yesterday.

Once he bowls it seam-up, he ceases to be a spinner IMO.

Hmm. Well Bell scored 67 at better than a run a ball & look where that left us...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez that looked close. Maybe just sliding down.

 

[deeps]

As threatening as he may have looked, I think Dravid made a mistake in giving Tendulkar the last few overs. Sreesanth or Zaheer would have been my choices

 

[Prince EWS]

Jeez that looked close. Maybe just sliding down.

Looked out to me.

 

[jeevan]

Zaheer not in the wickets

For the first time this series. And probably that's why India was not able to close this deal. Dropped catches didnt help either.

 

[Sanz]

This test could have ended up like this , but only if Dravid and his team played positive cricket like Pakistan did in the above match.
