***Official England in India***

[Precambrian]

Colly in. Desperate stuff?

Heh, Sehwag goes for six!!! First ball.

 

[Richard]

It was basically a series proving that Bangladesh are on the rise, quality bowling with real class coming from the batting at times. Ahhhh well.

They'll NEVER be ODI class.

Dunno about that, but we've seen that sort of thing before, series' that supposedly prove Bangladesh are on the rise. Truth is, one series doesn't do that. It takes far more than that.

 

[Richard]

Colly in. Desperate stuff?

Starts with a Half-Volley that's smashed for six over long-off.

 

[Precambrian]

Another one!! 50 for Sehwag!

 

[Richard]

Wowee, that second six was quite some hit. Loooooooooong way.

Just a slog accross the line to a slower-ball mind.

Replacement ball.

 

[Precambrian]

No need for Powerplays for Sehwag. He's saving it for the Yuvis and Dhonis.

Well they have assembled a top order of some high calibre, their bowling could compete with most other ODI teams and their middle order has been bolstered by the likes of Shakib al Hasan.

But you haven't been watching so I spose these are things you wouldn't know.

That's extremely optimistic and as soon as it looks like being true I'll start taking more notice.

 

[Zinzan]

Will be disappointed if India don't make 320+ from here. Perfect foundation.

 

[Precambrian]

Thought Gavaskar was done with commentary after Aus series. Apparently not.

Colly leaking runs. Another 4.

 

[Athlai]

That's extremely optimistic and as soon as it looks like being true I'll start taking more notice.

I'd go as far to say that in ODI cricket at home they will now be competitive. That's where you begin I reckon.


Goodness England need break this partnership.

 

[Richard]

Cheerleader Nick Knight.

And talking about the bowler taking some stick when leg-byes have been scored.

 

[Richard]

As I say - all been said before. Many times. I'm sure it'll happen someday, but until it does you're far more likely to be wrong than right when you keep predicting it.

 

[Precambrian]

Poor running. No need for the second. Still got it.

 

[Richard]

15 runs and 4 leg-byes off Collingwood's first over. Should be the only one of this spell.

 

[Precambrian]

Sehwag looking irritated at seeing Samit, I hope he'll do a Krejza (Samit)

 

[Richard]

This sort of outfield is the sort where you want to see poor-quality bowlers on.

 

[Jono]

Good start

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Go the 8:1 field IMO.
