*Official* First Test at Lord's

[GIMH]

Sad Indian faces make Martyn smile

 

[Furball]

Tremendous, just seen that it was Gambhir. Him and Laxman were the two I feared the most.

 

[Cevno]

Any chance of rain?

 

[oitoitoi]

Englang win @ 1.71 on betfair massive value imo. Another wicket and that hits 1.3.

 

[Burgey]

I think it's impossible to say that didn't hit the back of the bat before the pad there.

A bit like the gravity-defying spit ball in Seinfeld.

 

[GIMH]

Any chance of rain?

Look at that, supposed best team in the world praying for rain

Weak as piss. Move over. We're the best team in the world.

Great scene.

 

[biased indian]

Any chance of rain?

ha ha was thinking the same and went and checked no luck there as well i think ..'

should be over before tea...

 

[Spark]

Man on the hook but not short leg or leg gully? What?

 

[superkingdave]

Still plenty of batting to come on a true pitch, far from over yet.

Win! Best reference. Stepping up to the plate with the Seinfeld jokes in the absence of Got_Spin.

Weak as piss. Move over. We're the best team in the world.

1 win in India after 1985. Marathon not a sprint.

 

[GIMH]

When's Got_Spin back?

I hope he's enjoyed this test

 

[Furball]

Any chance of rain?

There's always a chance of rain in this country. None's been forecast.

 

[Spark]

Still plenty of batting to come on a true pitch, far from over yet.

Dhoni and Harbhajan is not exactly the most comforting batting pair though.

 

[Athlai]

Still plenty of batting to come on a true pitch, far from over yet.

1 win in India after 1985. Marathon not a sprint.

Believe it or not, wins in other places are also relevant to how good a team is

 

[Furball]

I must have missed the memo that said you had to win in India to be the number one side.

 

[oitoitoi]

I know. We've won more away test than anyone except the aussies in the past decade.

 

[GIMH]

The past decade doesn't tell you who the best team now is. Otherwise Australia would be comfortably top.
