*Official* First Test at Lord's

[Spark]

We had two out on the leg side boundary in the eighth over, so I'm not sure why you're surprised.

I think I made an angry post about it too

Trott average watch 63.90

The guy is a machine and you can't afford to give him lives much the same as England can't give them to Tendulkar, Dravid etc...

 

[Burgey]

I see India are falling into the trap of throwing their hands in the air when Trott works one from middle and off through midwicket.

Don't lads. You get Jack of it after three tests.

 

[TumTum]

That ball kept going and going

 

[Bun]

How predictable Zaheer gets injured.

Come on England turn the screw now.

aye, laughin at the misfiortune of an adversary. how classy

 

[Bonnie Prince C]

Not surprised the light meter is coming out. Looks pretty dark out there.

 

[Athlai]

**** you Zaheer! The voodoo worked!

 

[Goughy]

Kumar appears to be no different from 100s of club seamers in England. Bowling standard medium pace outers should not, IMO, qualify for a Test place.

Not my fault he has an injury record worse than Flintoff is it.

You'd be smiling if it was Anderson.

 

[NasserFan207]

Zaheer.

At least E.O.I.N might score some runs now though

I think Kumar has bowled fairly well, worse options for these conditions

 

[Raghav]

KP is getting in to serious cricket now!!! Like it... I want to see him scoring big in this innings!!! Come on KP

I think some of the Indian posters were expecting a little too much of him but he's in the team on merit. Was pretty effective in the West Indies and the alternatives are shocking at the moment.

except the club seamers probably don't run in the protected area

Nagraj Gollapudi sends in this trustworthy update: "Zaheer Khan cramping inside the dressing room, according to the team manager."

ibloody hell, where have I. rejoiced here when an opponent got injured here?

He's bowled as well as i expected him to at Lords.Has been unlucky till now to not pick up a wicket. Has bowled some absolute beauties and beaten the bat closely on more than a few occasions.

People seem to bring this up for him every time he does not pick up a wicket unfairly,imo based on pre conceived notions they have.

 

[oitoitoi]

I hope you're right, no zaheer really takes the sting out of the series.
