*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[Burgey]

Who the frigg said that?

There were some who held that view. The trainwreck is in the Bradman vs Tendulkar thread

 

[GIMH]

Just want to note, for those who decried Bradman's achievements in a certain other thread with a "vs" in it because of where the keeper stood in the clips of him batting, that MS Dhoni is currently standing up to the stumps for India's opening bowler.

Not directly relevant to the match. Stop trolling.

Poor effort from India, but take nothing away from Bell, WAC he is.

 

[grecian]

Not directed against anyone in particular, but can we take the UDRS discussion to another thread and leave this one to talk about the action please?

I've said it before but the UDRS decision has ruined these matchday threads, such a shame with such great cricket going on

fix'd

Dravid was playing against far better bowlers though.

Maybe but Bell gets out and the match is probably gone, that has extra pressure on a guy not known for stepping up when needed.

 

[TumTum]

I wonder how the Indian bowling attack will respond if they do go on to lose this Test. Will they fight back strongly or lose all hope? Because they have bowled decently in the last 2 Tests. They haven't fed their batsmen with short and wide crap. That will give us a good idea on the quality of the Indian attack and whether they deserve the #1 ranking.

 

[Turbinator]

C'mon India! Let's pick ourselves up and do this!

Ishant Sharma on Day 2 at Lord's strongly disagrees

At least it was only for a day and not the whole series

India are so on the wrong side of the UDRS debate. The whole fact hotspot is not 100% accurate really establishes so little. What annoys me is when English fans will shout stuff like "on your way, Harbhajan, you decided not to have UDRS", as if it was his choice - that sort of idiocy infuriates me.

Him and Sehwag were among the few in the team who wanted it, if I m not mistaken...

 

[Spark]

Dhoni, lol.

EDIT: What the hell happened to that ball?!

[honestbharani]

You can't seriously think there is something like India's dominance in cricket....... That's really nonsense!

well, a group here does accuse the BCCI of dominating the ICC.. And by extension, that would translate to Indian cricket dominating world cricket











I do mean off the field

 

[Contra]

Why the hell isn't Sree bowling?

 

[Uppercut]

Getting the ball to do a little more this session.

 

[grecian]

Anyone think they should go with Dravid behind the stumps?

The pitch seems to be doing more in the afternoon then in the morning, humidity perhaps?

 

[Cevno]

Damn! Missed the play today till now.

Didn't expect Bell to be there still now. Even game right now.

Is Trott going to bat?

Probably lower down the order, similar situation to Ghambir last test
