*Official* England in India

[CricAddict]

Umesh selected ahead of Aaron. Are they planning to have Aaron as a perennial squad member without giving any chance?

 

[Spark]

what a pathetic ****ing farce this is.

an international match between two of the top cricketing nations has worse coverage than a shield match.

 

[Cevno]

India XI: Gambhir, Parthiv, Rahane, Kohli, Dhoni, Raina, Jadeja, Ashwin, Praveen, Vinay, Umesh Yadav

England XI: Cook, Kieswetter, Trott, KP, Bopara, Bairstow, Patel, Bresnan, Swann, Finn and Dernbach

Neo Cricket/Sports.

****ing Amateurs!!!!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ah well, wasn't overly interested in this series anyway but seeing as the hosts can't be arsed to televise it then they aren't either. Shambles.

 

[Furball]

And now over to David Lloyd and Nick Knight who we've got on the other end of the phone.

Joke.

 

[four_or_six]

Finn to Rahane, no run, Rahane is forward and mistimes the push to mid-on to end a bustling first over from Finn. He was so pacy that we couldn't see the ball. Or something like that.

 

[Howe_zat]

New ball wides tide and time again in ODIs. So annoying.

 

[Cevno]

"Good time for Shahid Afridi to allege that he saw Indians running on horses between the wickets," says Denzil Correa. Ha!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is this a case of India got gubbed so we are not interested anymore?

Why wasn't this sorted before, never known anything like this to happen. Yes you lose pictures now and then but it being pulled????

 

[Spark]

holy ****, the drop

that's a comedy drop, that

 

[Furball]

Who is commentating with Shastri?

Can't blame losing it in the crowd either.

The god that is Hoggard.

Seems a bit 2 paced pitch. Rahane is struggling.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Seems a bit 2 paced pitch. Rahane is struggling.

If he anchors and is 100* at end it fine. Let others have a thrash. Always need one guy to bat long in a one dayer to set it up for later.

Seems a bit 2 paced pitch. Rahane is struggling.

Hyderabad pitch has generally been batting friendly. But, in the recent times, (particularly, from Champions League), the pitch is aiding bowlers (particularly paceman) ...

I guess a score of 250-60 will be competitive for a decent bowling attack on this pitch. But not sure, how much would be competitive for Indian weakened bowling attack today

 

[Furball]

Ganguly talking absolute ****e here.

 

[nsniks]

And Swann again gets a wicket in his first over. Rahane troubled stay got over

 

[Howe_zat]

It's a good job bringing Swann on early worked, considering that we've all been complaining about him coming on too late.

Ganguly talking absolute ****e here.

Please elaborate?
