*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Top_Cat]

even i had just seen that comment of yours and was laughing at it TC

I suck at predictions. Sehwag is the latest in a very long line of victims.

 

[Jarquis]

Dravid still opening then?

 

[ankitj]

Oh Sehwag! What an anti-climax!

Cricket can be such a cruel sport!

 

[Spark]

Just switched over, what do you mean?

Both the Mahela/Mitch review and the Sehwag/Broad reviews happened basically at the same time

 

[miscer]

holy **** this pitch is brutal!! but gambhir just scoring runs at a sehwag pace

 

[smash84]

You mean you were ing?

TC is a diplomatic **** tbh and doesn't give you too many chances to at his comments.......didn't you notice how he said "it would be good if he does"......to cover his arse for later

Hurried home from the post office to catch the start of the match but was a bit late. Launched my browser and Cricinfo reads "Sehwag falls for a golden duck."

Pure sehwagness?

 

[Daemon]

One one hand Gambhir's hit 3 boundaries, on the other he's looked completely inept against balls swinging back into him

 

[Manee]

Haha. We have so little chance of winning this game. Broad, Anderson, Bresnan and Swann > Mishra, Sreesanth, Praveen and Ishant by so very much. Sreesanth is such an embarrassment, so below what a Test bowler should be.

gambhir blazing away.........and I thought he would be a walking wicket

 

[Manee]

Oh Sehwag! What an anti-climax!

It is not as if we are only going to bat once. He'll have another go, except the second time around we'll probably be 300 or so runs behind.

The great man doesn't waste deliveries at all..


Ah well.. Sounds like a very good ball to get first up..

 

[Spark]

Can someone tell me what the hell happened to Broad in between series? Bowling impossibly well atm

haha...good one....nice way to look at it

idk why you would think that, he's an excellent opener

 

[centurymaker]

gambhir blazing away.........and I thought he would be a walking wicket

he's actually pretty solid.
if he was a walking wicket, he wouldn't be avging close to 50. (was the 2nd best indian batsman in SA)

 

[Burgey]

Meanwhile, at the real cricket, SL four down for 90 odd.

 

[Themer]

How Gambhir is still out there amazes me, how he's managed to score 23 off 17 is simply staggering. Looks all at sea, close LBWs three or four edges (some going for boundaries). At least he's sticking it out.

 

[Xuhaib]

Gumby gets criminality underrated quality test bat though he'a total dickhead.

 

[miscer]

wait a minute... so am i to understand that gambhir's image is that of a hopeless batsman against good fast bowling? gambhir isn't even that good in the SC his best record is away against south africa and nz.
edit: averages 60 in south africa and 80+ or so in new zealand
