***Official*** England in India

[flibbertyjibber]

Maybe it's always been this bad and we were all just blinded by Collingwood's brilliance

He seemed to bring out the best in the rest of them and since he has gone the whole team have let it slip. Been pathetic really that we need 13/14 wickets every innings as our fielders drop 3 or 4 absolute gimmes every time we field.

Yeah that's out, good decision

looking fwd to a quick fire 20 from bhaji or zak now ...320 - 340 would be a good score..englnad if they have to win this test will definitly need a lead of 50-80 runs...if we post a score like that don't see england scoring 400 on this pitch

change of mind will like to get one from zak tooo

Please Zaheer, don't bat like an absolute moron.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Deep joy, enough time to bowl them out and be 2 down by lunch.

The amount of turn out there, I hold no hope for our lot. India might have enough runs already without the need to bat again (think we will save follow on but 2x150ish is in head)

200 for Swanny WAG

 

[benchmark00]

Jeez Ojha must be a gumby if Zaheer is still at 10.

 

[Jono]

****, Pujara stumped.

Great knock, and well bowled Swanny.

 

[Daemon]

What a knock. A lot like Cook's in the last game.

 

[biased indian]

good inngs..

but would have loved him to get caught at boundary.. or get stumped going for six

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great knock again by a class player.

 

[Daemon]

Odds on Zaheer getting out to an aggressive stroke?

 

[biased indian]

ha ha loved monty expression

 

[smash84]

India have crossed 325 and the way the wicket is behaving, England look well and truly ****ed

 

[Daemon]

Not even close, atrocious decision. He's been absolutely dire beyond doubt in this series..

Was he the one who did in Fatel twice last game as well?

 

[biased indian]

zak get a bad one...hope its evened out by a bad aganist cook

 

[Jono]

wtf is going on with these umpires?

 

[smash84]

Not even close, atrocious decision. He's been absolutely dire beyond doubt in this series..

tbh you're complimenting him.

I can't really recall when was the last time I saw worse umpiring from anyone

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Amazing how often the howler is given against a tailender/young batsman making way in the game.

Well bowled Swann and Panesar, not good enough though as they have about 100 too many at least on that track. Need a repeat from Cook or a KP masterpiece to stay in this match.

 

[Daemon]

Swann surprisingly ends up with the better figures.

 

[Daemon]

I don't see why Dar had to think so much about that either, with bat pad catches you either think he's hit it or he hasn't, it's not like LBW's where you have to recall where it pitched, where it struck and whether it's missing the wickets.
