*Official* First Test at Lord's

[sunny99]

Yuvraj is good batsman than Raina in term of technique but i see he gets very few chance to prove himself in test matches because of huge Indian batting lineup. he is also better bowler and fielder than Raina.

 

[Spark]

Every ball Sharma has bowled remotely near the stumps has troubled KP, basically.

Yeah, Should play 100 test matches atleast before making a conclusive judgement on him.

 

[Vroomfondel]

finally a decent over from Ishant. Dhoni, super-aggresive captain and generally man-among-men, doesn't have a god damned short leg.

 

[Spark]

PK doesn't seem very threatening vs these two itbt

 

[weldone]

OK, bring Harbhajan against Trott now.

PK was never going to be threatening against them with a 30-over old ball. Time for Harbhajan now. The sooner Dhoni understands it the better.

 

[Vroomfondel]

kp walking around all over the place trying to cover the in-cutter. pitch one up kid, come on.

 

[sunny99]

Sachin saving 3 runs there..

sometimes Sachin also do excellent fielding.

 

[GIMH]

Reckon Strauss should declare, get them 6 down by close

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Sharma is bowling numbing tripe.

 

[sunny99]

i think Trott will be more dangerous than KP for India.

 

[Uppercut]

Hmm. Isn't that admitting defeat after sending England in under cloudy skies?

...when it'll be about time for Dhoni to declare to go for an innings win?

 

[GIMH]

Hmm. Isn't that admitting defeat after sending England in under cloudy skies?

Yes. 1-0 to us.

 

[Cevno]

When did Sreesanth do very well last time?

Don't know what the commentators are going on about..

 

[superkingdave]

Good for the series to be honest. Neither side getting the upper hand early on.

300+ might seem like a good score for England given the conditions, but if its a usual Lords pitch its more like 500 par.

 

[weldone]

Nah, game at full balance now. If Harbhajan gets Trott within 20 more runs or so, India will have the upper hand in this session.

Sending England under cloudy skies doesn't mean only 3 bowlers will bowl on day 1.

It doesn't seem like the usual Lord's pitch. Very damp, the ball isn't coming onto the bat properly. Lot of mistimed strokes.

 

[Cevno]

Another beauty!

Praveen has been unlucky to not get a wicket till now.
