*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[Spark]

Oooh could be pivotal.

 

[Uppercut]

More luck for Bell. Needs to make it count.

 

[CricAddict]

****

 

[Spark]

Oooh, he had it too.

 

[Challis]

argh how crucial will that drop be!!!

 

[Contra]

Ugh..

 

[GIMH]

Whoa, awful

 

[Cevno]

Bell has had his fair share of luck today while Praveen has been a bit unlucky.

 

[Spark]

So lucky is Bell, terrible batting.

Odd that Bresnan came in ahead of Broad after the latter's 70* last time around. Plus I'd like to have seen Broad given the opportunity to repeat his performance at the end of last summer after Pakistan reduced us to something similar.

Beyond that, this must come as a shock to some folks in the media who seemed to think the series was sewn up after Lord's. You'd really hope they could read the game rather than the final margin of victory, but apparently not. Chickens roosting and all that.

Today's interesting stat is that it's been 37 years since India lost anything after than the first test in England.

 

[Burgey]

Bell has turned into Michael Clarke with this fending outside off malarky.

Got dropsy?

Dravid's getting into habit of dropping these catches at crucial times.. would have expected him to take that one.

Batted 9 in that Test as well, right?

 

[Contra]

Ishant stop being ****. Can't be giving away freebies <_<

Yeah,Used to take them easily when he was younger.

 

[GIMH]

Yeha, below Swann

Brezza's a better bat than Broady. Would be okay with Brezza batting seven actually.

Oh dear me. Has it been good bowling or bad batting?

Now I'd forgotten that, tbf. Did Swann bat ahead of him? I'm still surprised to see Bresnan ahead of him today though.

Fair enough. Always had a liking for Broad's batting though.

Both but mostly the former.
