*Official* First Test at Lord's

[hazsa19]

Lords will be a road by day 3.

 

[Spark]

Okay those have to be the two most languid twos I have ever seen.

 

[Cevno]

Agreed, he's suggesting they prepare roads, but England would have more trouble getting Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman out than the other way round.

Don't know what he said exactly, but he has a point there.

India tend to do better in helpful conditions abroad rather than on flattish ones.

 

[Spark]

First chance, missed.

 

[Dan]

EDIT: How did that post twice?

 

[Daemon]

****! Take your time you stupid ****!

 

[Contra]

awe cmon

 

[Cevno]

Hit and he was gone.

Hurried the throw too much.

 

[Contra]

Cmon Zak make em play

 

[hazsa19]

Should have run he was never gonna hit those stumps

 

[Goughy]

They really need to get England playing more often. What is the point of swing if the batsman can watch the ball go by?

 

[Furball]

No lbw reviews is a ****ing nonsense.

 

[Daemon]

Openers looking more comfortable off their pads because they've been expecting it. Anything moving away from them they've left or poked at cautiously.

 

[Spark]

Not great this from India. Everything is either well outside off or sliding down leg, which is precisely what the two bats would have hoped for.

 

[Bun]

dire bowling by us.

 

[vogue]

Just thinking it takes a lot more concentration and thinking about when you listen to the cricket on radio than it does when its on tv... quite like it actually..you get lulled into a very peaceful state of mind...

 

[Contra]

dang this is bad

 

[Rush]

No point bowling first if you're not gonna take advantage

 

[Anku31]

Not great this from India. Everything is either well outside off or sliding down leg, which is precisely what the two bats would have hoped for.

Pk's first over to Cook was awesome.
Zaheer should make them play.

 

[Dan]

No lbw reviews is a ****ing nonsense.

Agreed, although Nasser's digging himself a deeper hole here...

dire bowling by us.

Agree with this too, they have to get them playing, but not by putting it on leg stump. Although, it looks like when it swings, the ball is moving from that leg stump line right across.

EDIT: Only two slips in? Needs three given what the ball's doing IMO.
