*Official* First Test at Lord's

[hazsa19]

Such a massive cheer for such a routine bit of fielding

 

[Daemon]

Sachin to come out at 8 tomorrow and make a matchwinning/saving hundred with Harbhajan

 

[flibbertyjibber]

7 ducks and 2 men out for 1 so far in this match. Ununsual to say the least.

Says something about what the pitch is like to start on I would think. Even KP looked seriously awkward for ages before clicking into gear in the first innings.

 

[hazsa19]

Can't believe anyone would think this would help us.

 

[Spark]

Haha wow. India suddenly in with a real shot.

 

[Howe_zat]

fmd

 

[Daemon]

SHARMA!!!

Learning from Broad by pitching it up eh

 

[Cevno]

The pitch has quickened with moisture evaporating compared to the first innings and Ishant looks threatening. Almost Aussie like conditions here.

 

[Rush]

what the ****.

 

[Spark]

England desperately need to string together a 50 partnership or so out of somewhere. If they can do that, they'll still probably win.

 

[ankitj]

This might be a bad thing for india tbh because it kinda takes teh draw out of the equation......

LOL. Yes, somewhat.

 

[Edged&Taken]

:-o

 

[sreeku7]

Trott is bowled.

Nah.

Its got more to do with the fact that England are quivering like a prisoner whose just dropped the soap in the shower and Sharma finding his length.

 

[Rush]

**** I completely forgot about Prior, for some reason thought Broad was coming in.

Sharma's current spell, 3.4 overs 2 maidens 3 wickets for 1 run. Curtly Ambrose watch out

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, not necessarily great for India this....obviously good for morale but they have to bat too and I don't see India chasing 300. Even 250 will be extremely difficult.

 

[Teja.]

Both Prior and Morgan specialize in these situations. Have to get one of them out very very soon. Get PK ON!

 

[hazsa19]

Not only does this bring the likely target down, take the draw out of the equation, it's a massive confidence boost.

 

[LJMJ]

Ishant can be so schizophrenic. I have seen him do this so many times - ball like complete crap for looong stretches, only to put in an unplayable spell like this out of nowhere.
