"Today's match is dripping with intrigue. Yuvraj v Pietersen. Yuvraj v Broad. Broad v Yuvraj. Pietersen v Yuvraj. "

Raina to dominate Swann today if he plays him imo.

 

[Shri]

Looks like its Yuvraj Vs England today.

 

[Cruxdude]

Come on India!! I missed the whole last game because of an internship interview. Got the internship now lets hope India gets through.

LOL!

Yuvraj vs. Pietersen is the greatest rivalry in cricket. Just two of the ****iest bastards ever. Have such a strut about them.

Hilarious TV when they go at it.

 

[Smith]

India to show they are no Australia to make comebacks from the grave time and again.

 

[Shri]

The fielding should be better today from the Indians with Jadeja in the side. His slow left armers should come into play against KP.

 

[gvenkat]

FWIW here's the England lineup, once again both a batsman and a bowler light.

RS Bopara, LJ Wright, KP Pietersen, OA Shah, PD Collingwood*, AD Mascarenhas, JS Foster†, GP Swann, SCJ Broad, RJ Sidebottom, JM Anderson

Why was Prior not picked in the first place? Is he injured?

 

[Smith]

Big risk batting second in this game. England have the firepower to knock up a 160+ target and India in all likelihood are prone to implosions while chasing.

 

[Shri]

Yeah, Zak. Thats it. Bowl 'em to fine leg. FFS!!!

He's crap at limited overs cricket

 

[gvenkat]

He's crap at limited overs cricket

And Foster is a world beater eh? You must be kidding.. If prior was not picked due to ur reason.. England deserve every bit of what they get...

 

[Shri]

England dont have the home advantage in this game.

 

[Sanz]

He was in form in the IPL.. What was the reason for Dhoni to come in at 3...

I dont know, do you ?

Are you telling me that an in-form batsman can remain in form only at the position he bats ? If that is the case why are you not questioning why Rohit Sharma was moved as an opener ?

 

[superkingdave]

Foster is crap with the bat as well, but is at least decent with the gloves, Prior is crap at both. Davies should have been picked fwiw

and the bold part...are you disputing that Prior is a crap batmen at LO cricket, or are you saying he should be picked for his other (skill)?

Becuase Sewag was injured and Rohit was a success... as simple as that

Foster has played very useful innings for Essex down the order in T20 and in limited overs cricket. If they were looking for someone who wasn't going to open, he was the best choice.

 

[superkingdave]

Well done Luke

 

[Shri]

Hahaha!!!

Wright gone early. Game on.

D'oh, Yusuf just about hung onto that. Shame.
