*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[oitoitoi]

I don't think I can remember a better first 2 days of test cricket in terms of excitement. India need another tonight.

**** neither of these batsmen are inspiring me with any confidence, think we are going to need a KP special to get us to a competetive total.

Cook and Strauss look shaky
We need KP to bat
Ian Bell fills no-one with confidence batting at 3
Everyone's raving about what Broad's done lately
Dravid hit back-to-back hundreds while India are failing
Sreesanth's taking wickets

This Test coming fresh from 2007.

 

[Jacknife]

A thing that Sree does well, is get really close to the stumps.

 

[R_D]

Continues? That's the first call ALL GAME to go against India so how the **** is it continues?

It was probably one of those heat of the moment posts... emotions are running high etc..

I do think he could have given some of those close lbw shouts in India's favour... might have been one against KP and there was another one... both looked pretty plumb in real time.

 

[Uppercut]

Trott's got his arm in a sling apparently. Doesn't look like he'll bat.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good call from Dhoni getting Sree on now imo.

I thought Kumar was the new Alec Bedser?

Yeah. Top stuff. First test was quality too even though not a lot went right for India.

 

[Van Buren]

With Bell trying to feel bat on ball every delivery, he could be vulnerable against Sreesanth's away-swinging full deliveries.

Strauss probably ought to face as much of Sreesanth as he can.

 

[Cevno]

Well the Hundred's of county bowlers plus Goughy would be happy with that comparison.

 

[Cevno]

Why has Dhoni removed Ishant?

 

[Anku31]

PK with end changed.Why Ishant discontinued??

Not between these 2 sides anyway.

A few England v Australia matches in 05 were like this with ebbs and flows.

Was setting someone up for the "looks about the same age too" line, tbh.

RIP Sir Alec, obvz.

.... This is never going to end unless Praveen has a really **** test career from now onwards.

 

[Cevno]

Bell looking Dodgy again.

 

[Uppercut]

I thought Kumar was the new Alec Bedser?

He is a major victim of the pace-lovers brigade, but there are much, much bigger fans of his around here than me fwiw.

 

[BoyBrumby]

One over of Sree? Really?

 

[Howe_zat]

Bell's played a few nice shots, but ffs, time and a place.

 

[Jacknife]

Bell looking Dodgy again.

Tbf kept a touch low on him.

 

[R_D]

Don't understand this from Dhoni... Ishant should be bowling... he's already taken a wicket and has looked threatening while Praveen hasn't really troubled the batsman that much.
