***Official England in India***

[silentstriker]

Why are England not taking the new ball? Any idea?

 

[biased indian]

thank god i am in office ..don't think would have been able to watch it live

 

[adharcric]

Quality knock from Yuvraj, the man finally stands up. Job's only half done though, finish it off guys.

 

[wpdavid]

New ball!!!

Either KP is an idiot or Anderson is about to produce the greatest display of reverse swing since W x 2 were in their pomp.

70-30 India here. It's theirs to lose.

I'm watching a delayed telecast, but this one's one of the best tests I've seen so far.

Big turn around from your 90-10 on England just over 2hrs ago when it was possibly 55/45 in Englands favor

What can I say? Years of spineless collapses have hardened my heart.

England miss Simon Jones.

Flintoff isn't going to get the chance to work his magic for us. We are doomed. How gutted must Strauss be, to score twin tons and now sit staring defeat in the face.

I'm sure he feels about as redundant as Dravid.

Yup, a judgment made by emotion & not by the head, was never 90/10 at that stage

 

[GIMH]

So um, how about those storms in Chennai? Any sign?

 

[Athlai]

Congratulations Yuvraj on retaining your spot in the Test team much to the annoyance of probably every Indian poster on the forum.

Uppercut's avatar can sleep tight for a little while longer it would seem

I'm not counting chickens

Heh, this time yesterday I would've been right with you.

To be fair, nobody in sport makes judgements by the head - otherwise bet365 wouldn't be making this much money.

For added interest, Tendulkar needs 24 of the remaining 63 to bring up his 1000th test hundred

 

[wpdavid]

Following Edgbaston, and now this, you have to wonder exactly what would be a safe target for this England attack to defend.

 

[Nate]

Harmison's left-arm position is laughable.

Depends who they're playing, 200 would be most likely be enough against New Zealand as much as I hate to say it

You sure about that particular stat?
