*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[CricAddict]

Without checking the numbers, I swear the Indian attack suddenly realizes they actually have to do something without Zaheer. When we toured there last year Zaheer missed the last test and Jesse's pie shop closed down.

Totally agree with the above.
Would be interesting to see Ishant, Sree and Bhajji's figures with and without Zaheer.
Would attribute Ishant's resurgence in previous match's second innings also to that realization.

conditions here are clearly less helpful than the ones at lords...

india should've batted tbh.

Haha, are you even watching?

i want england to be bowled out for 150 (sree 6/60) and then india to declare at 600/4 (tendulkar 300*). Then bowl england out for an almost match saving 430 after tea on the 5th day.

make it happen team.

It's not hooping round corners like it did first up at Lord's tbf. India have simply bowled much better.

Warne on comms! Gun.

So the great indian comeback on the way??

Hubris bores me.

The more I see that the more I have to wonder what on earth Trott was doing trying to cover drive that.

...was trying to prove that he's not the second best batsman ever...

 

[Cevno]

Not swinging as much for Praveen here as it was at Lords on the first day. Itstl

 

[Spark]

Even that shot from KP, though. Didn't try to play a wafty drive like Trott, just a compact block to quite a similar ball.

 

[Cevno]

Time to try a bouncer to Pietersen?

From cricinfo..
"Last time India played against England in TRENT BRIDGE," starts Lingavan, "the fall of wickets were 1-4 (Strauss, 2.3 ov), 2-24 (Vaughan, 8.6 ov), 3-47 (Pietersen, 14.4 ov), 4-101 (Collingwood, 32.2 ov), 5-109 (Cook, 35.5 ov), 6-147 (Prior, 45.6 ov), 7-157 (Bell, 50.3 ov), 8-186 (Tremlett, 59.4 ov), 9-195 (Panesar, 62.5 ov), 10-198 (Anderson, 65.3 ov) Next wicket is expected to fall in 40's or 50's. So folks take some rest."

Haha what timing.

EDIT: Don't think you should say that again, actually.

And just one cue the next ball.

Well played though!!

Then why do you overrate cook & Trott? Bad habits.

@ Howe
i watched the first 8 overs. now im in my room.
conditions aren't as friendly as they were at lords.
plus they are expected to remain like this throughout the match so india should've batted..
and the curator has said that the ball here swings more when theres sunshine

once england get a good score, india will lose due to scoreboard pressure alone..

 

[miscer]

sreesanth to start losing his line and length now..

 

[Howe_zat]

Praveen had most of his swing behind the stumps on day one at Lord's. The track here is seriously green and patchy at the business end.

Lovely stuff from Kipper.

 

[Spark]

Looks very good does KP though. Very settled.

 

[GIMH]

Ganguly "Sreesanth continuing his habit to ball well to the South Africans"

Harsha " 2 more at the crease let's see how he goes"

Absolutely dire to refer to Strauss as a South African. ****ing awful comment.

 

[Cevno]

Haha what timing.

EDIT: Don't think you should say that again, actually.

He clearly read the one you quoted too.
