*Official* First Test at Lord's

[flibbertyjibber]

Lets hope the weather stays away, all this hype for nothing otherwise. Be a good toss to lose though as if the ball doesn't do as much as they think it will Lord's is generally just a good batting pitch so you might look foolish if you insert and not a lot happens.

delayed start already

Looks like it is going to be one of those days like in Sri Lanka series.

Damn.......

Word on the street is Broad's been picked over Bresnan.

 

[Furball]

Hm, not sure about that. I think England's stance was "Full UDRS = best, but any UDRS > no UDRS" and India's was "no ball tracking!" - in which case it's easy to see how it all unfolded.

I loved Dhoni's comments in the press conference. India aeen't 100% convinced by the predictive element of ball tracking so don't want it used, yet are quite happy to accept HotSpot.

Someone should show them Bell's non dismissal in Sydney or Kemar Roach's dismissal in Perth.

I hope Terry Christian's wrong on this occasion.

Quite so.

pasag's return to Cricket Chat arguably just as big an event as this Test, tbh

Toss at 11am English time apparently. That's four minutes away isn't it?

 

[Uppercut]

Dhoni wins the toss and bowls.

With the footy season in full swing, I've been out of cricket for a while, but man I'm excited for this Test. Nothing better than evenly matched cricket in England. I have no doubt this will be an amazing series.

Good to have you back in the forum..

 

[Spark]

And Broad in.

 

[CricAddict]

And Yuvraj, Sreesanth out..looks to be good decisions so far..

 

[GIMH]

COME ON ENGLaND

 

[Goughy]

****, ****, ****

and ****

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Broad. Sigh.

He needs to step his game up about 500% from the tripe he dished out against Sri Lanka. I'm not sure this pitch is the right one for him either.

 

[smash84]

PK is in. Might prove to be a handful in these conditions

 

[Bun]

thank u god; we bowl first and broady's playing!!!
