*Official* First Test at Lord's

[keeper]

I fancy a bit of lords tomorrow, but won't be able to get there till lunch.

Think they will still have tickets? I can't imagine they would sell out

Reckon you'll be okay. They'll probably mention it on the radio if it sells out.

 

[Cevno]

Strauss to let Prior have his hundred

 

[Anku31]

If Sehwag was here, would we have gone for the win? With lack of Tendulkar and Gambhir for a bit, a draw would be the best bet

You are dreaming a win? You are more optimistic then me,even me!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Has it been mentioned yet - Prior now has more runs than Les Ames, from the same number of matches and at a better average.

What is more striking is that Prior has 36 more dismissals in 8 fewer innings.

 

[miscer]

Strauss to let Prior have his hundred

he should let prior get his 150 and broad get his 100!

 

[kingpin]

Wat happened to Gambhir??

 

[John Blaze]

This match shows the gulf in batting between Dhoni and Prior in test matches

 

[Anku31]

Dhoni is on again!!

 

[John Blaze]

Wat happened to Gambhir??

Hit in the elbow from close range by a pull(??) by Prior.

 

[BoyBrumby]

What's India's over rate looking like now? Dhoni bringing himself on suggests he's not unduly concerned about it.

 

[Stapel]

Dhoni..... cricket hating moron....

 

[pskov]

Having Dravid spend a few overs faffing around with the pads on keeping wicket when he is imminently going to have to open the batting seems a bit silly to me.

 

[Manee]

This is really abysmal by India.

 

[kingpin]

Hit in the elbow from close range by a pull(??) by Prior.

Damn!!No Sachin,sehwag,Gambhir,Zak...can it get even worse?

 

[Themer]

This is really abysmal by India.

You should never just give up trying to get people out no matter what the situation, they're just waving Prior through to an easy century at the moment.

He'll rely on the English batting collapse, and the injury to get himself out of any especially harsh punishments.

I wouldn't be so sure. They're certainly came out after the latest meeting a bit bullish about what they're going to do to repeated slow over rate captains.

Come on Prior finish it in style lad.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Here's a Q: has one designated keeper ever hit the runs to take him to a century off his opposite number in tests? Probz won't happen here now either after those byes.

 

[Jacknife]

13.2 this innings and 13 in the 1st.

 

[Anku31]

A bit harsh on Dravid.
