*Official* First Test at Lord's

[Ikki]

Btw did anyone realise Dravid is the now the 2nd highest run scorer in tests, I didn't see any mention of it in my stream

Was mentioned and a table shown when he hit the runs to take him ahead.

 

[The Sean]

Dravid - WAG.

One of my very favourite batsmen, and a genuine all time great.

 

[Kylez]

Ton for Dravid. Top player, top innings and a top bloke. Over the last few months Dravid has shown he still has the game to play at the highest level. It's great to see

 

[Furball]

Dravid WAG.

Now kindly get out.

 

[Rush]

The 2nd best Indian player of my generation Dravid, what a guy! The Wall zindabad!

 

[Rush]

Not many times you see Dravid get his century quicker than Pietersen

 

[grecian]

Well this is really why the declaration was a real shocker for me. England are going to have to bat and not have any idea what kind of total they need in order to be safe while still having enough time to bowl India out. Getting India to follow on could have been critical.

Yep, totally agree, been mad how everyone led by the likes of Aggers and others have been patting Strauss and bizarrely themselves on the back over this early declaration.

I don't advocate fannying about out there, but Tremlett and KP can hit the ball, have a swing against a demoralized and tired attack and we could have had 50 more runs easily, very quickly, and if they get out , it doesn't matter.

Result not possible here!!!

 

[Rush]

Dravid's got his ton, now let's see Jimmy get his

 

[Jacknife]

Far too good for a No10 that.

 

[fredfertang]

well done Jimmy - no hanging around from Ishant please

 

[GIMH]

Yes Jimmy. Made up he got that. Now hopefully Broad gets the 5 he deserves, been the best bowler in the match by a mile

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Result not possible here!!!

Very possible. Lead will be 300 by lunch tomorrow, can thrash our way to 450-500 in front and have 130+ overs to win it.

 

[Furball]

Beauty from Jimmeh, the ***y beast that he is.

 

[Ikki]

Anderson's fingers are all red. Must be having fun with Bell

 

[Prince EWS]

Dravid's got his ton, now let's see Jimmy get his

And he gets it!

That's Jimmy's 100th Test wicket since May 15 2009 at 4:21pm. And what a ball it was.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think we can dismiss "cramp" as the cause of Zak breaking down too; could barely move his feet out there.

No way he'll play in the second test, surely?

Only way he plays is if they drop Raina and go in with 5 bowlers and take the risk because they are 1-0 down after this match. Be amazed to see him play next week to be honest.
