*Official* First Test at Lord's

[John Blaze]

Lol. Thought they were just playing odi's in the winter? Are we getting some tests in too?

Yeh 4 tests, starting from Boxing day

 

[Spark]

Again, what a display this is from Broad. Noticed he's not bowled anything to Sachin since that over.

 

[Daemon]

Full length ball from Broad that seamed back in, Sachin pushed forward, beaten on the inside edge. Hit right in front of off, top of the pad. Small man so looked pretty out.

Thanks man.

See lots of people fuming about this and why not Would be ****ing pissed off if it was against us.

Nice! Wonder if England will take a second spinner, if so who? Surely not Monty.

 

[John Blaze]

Billy Bowden, on the BCCI payroll?

England?

Edit: I mean Ind are facing Aus in the winter

 

[oitoitoi]

Sachin not looking his best...

Hasn't scored in a while, starting to look very edgy. England on the hunt.

 

[oitoitoi]

oh right you meant the aus series, 1st test boxing day? bit late isn't it? anyone know when England next play tests in India?

2012 I think.

 

[Burgey]

58% of the fans still believe India will cling on to a draw, as per a vote in cricinfo.
Love the confidence of the Indian fans nowadays. Have changed a lot from the whinging of Indian fans earlier about how the team crumbled under pressure easily.

It's official then. Call it off, majority rules.

They'd be the same muppets who put Sehwag and Kapil Dev in the Greatest Ever XI.

Majority rule doesn't mean intelligence mate. 56% of Australians want Tony Abbott as Prime Minister.

 

[Goughy]

Not much happening and the game is drifting for both sides. Someone needs to make something happen

Bring on IJL Trott.

 

[ankitj]

Glad at the way these 2 are batting, and also glad I am not watching the match live given nothing seems to be happeing

 

[Spark]

Surely Trott can't bowl now. It's all about pressure, gotta keep at it.

It's still pretty tense and riveting cricket tbh. Enjoying it immensely despite the stalemate.

If only Broad could get tendulkar out lbw, wouldn't that be just ****ing fine and dandy.

 

[oitoitoi]

This practice where teams have their fast bowlers off the field for a massage or whatever always gets my goat. If your off, it should only be for an injury/illness/at serious risk of discolouring your whites, not because you fancy a break.

 

[Athlai]

Tendulkar hasn't scored for 36 balls.

Edit: Nvm.

 

[Daemon]

Can foresee Trott getting Sachin to edge one through to prior
