*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Contra]

What a ball though. Didn't look like getting out otherwise

 

[Van Buren]

Jaffa. India would do well to reach 200 now.

On a related note, why did Tendulkar skip the practice match despite struggling all series ?

 

[Spark]

Oooh that's massive.

 

[Burgey]

Watching this English side bowl is so good especially when India is on the receiving end. Clinical.

fix'd

Shame for Dravid. He and Laxman the only two I care for really.

Splendid ball.

 

[Themer]

Oh you beauty. That was an amazing ball, Brezzer's been exemplary this morn.

Does what he wants mate.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bresnan averaging 24 with ball now. Building quite a useful reputation now.

 

[Athlai]

The under 230 odds are now paying $1.83.

I know my stuff.

 

[GIMH]

We'll be batting by tea IMO

Certainly could be on the cards

 

[morgieb]

Haha India are getting gaped right here.

 

[GIMH]

The last Test has taught us not to write teams off early doors (not that we needed teaching but you know). But given everything that has happened so far in this series, it's hard to see India coming back

 

[Daemon]

Well on our way to a good solid score of 130-150. Should be just about par with our demon fast bowlers exploiting the good bowling conditions to rip out the English top order for 600.

Dhoni scoring a back to the wall 100 under pressure with Raina ducking away bouncers till lunchtime tomorrow just doesn't seem even all that possible.

[Burgey]

Haha Daemon. Quality post.

 

[NUFAN]

What a brilliant first session by the best attack in the world.

I'm sure it's been said, but what was India thinking leaving Sachin out of the warmup?

[Daemon]

It's amazing how Broad's been averaging 11 with the ball and yet can actually be called unlucky in this series, given the number of drop catches off his bowling.

Post of the year.

 

[Goughy]

How good is Dravid? and what a ball to get rid of him. Whatever you think of this India team (an I have a pretty low opinion) you have to love Dravid.
