*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[Spark]

Is Sachin fit to play? I think so.

Is Gambhir fit to play? I guess so.

Is Tremlett fit to play? I guess there's more than 50% chance of playing as of now.

Is Zaheer fit to play? I guess there's less than 50% chance of playing as of now.

Guys, correct me if my answers seem wrong atm.

Any recent updates on the fitness of these 4 players/any new casualties?

Zaheer is confirmed as being out, Gambhir is probably 50/50 and Tremlett is very unlikely. Sachin's fine.

 

[Cevno]

Sehwag is still in India, Right?

 

[Spark]

Believe so.

yea, dont think he'll play in the 3rd test either.

 

[Cevno]

yea, dont think he'll play in the 3rd test either.

Wtf,was the point of naming him in the squad then?

Might as well have taken a backup all rounder like Irfan Pathan or another Batsman(Badrinath)/Bowler(Vinay Kumar/RP singh) etc..

Meanwhile just read Pujara is going to be out for 4 months too with a knee surgery.Came just at the absolute wrong time for him or he would have been established by now

Is RP Singh **** now?

 

[Cevno]

Is RP Singh **** now?

Yep. Was a ordinary bowler in all honesty. Had a pretty good series last time round in England though.

Many averaged less.
As many is a moot point because except for Bishop who did better than Anderson (in the same series as Ambrose) others did not play 5 matches.

Gough took 20 in 3 @ 21.25 in 1994/95 compared to Anderson taking 24 in 5 @ 26.04

Steyn took 18 in 3 @ 26.16 with a better strike rate by 10.

None of what you've posted contradicts what I've said, and maintaining that sort of performance over 5 Tests is harder than over 3.

Congrats England on 3-0 or 4-0. Sreesanth will collapse before completing a single run up the way he looks right now.

One thing no-one seems to have noticed about Anderson is that he's actually very hard to score runs off these days. He's the most economical quick around.

Time to get rid of the ****in IPL.

 

[honestbharani]

Bresnan in? Still hate that **** after the WC.

I actually think he is the among the more likeable players in England..

Zaheer eats too much pudding..

Ya canna have yer pudding til yer eat yer meat!

Mind you, I suspect he eats a bit of that too.

english please

 

[Bun]

Hmm. From memory, in terms of average rather than ability:

Strauss>>>Mukund
Cook<Gambhir
Trott>>>Dravid
KP<<Tendulkar
Bell=Laxman
Morgan=Raina
Prior>>Dhoni

guantanamo > bradboy
