***Official*** England in India

[Satyanash89]

Panesar made tendulkar look foolish there

 

[Cevno]

Harbhajan and Ashwin should be real dissapointed with themselves right now.

And the selectors for selecting Harbhajan,

 

[Cabinet96]

Holy ****. I can't watch this anymore, far too nerve-wracking. Every ball seems like a wicket taking opportunity atm.

Now you know what watching England in Asia has been like for the last year.

 

[Spark]

That's a little more like it.

Year? Decade IMO

The mandatory Tendulkar's confidence inspiring shot has happened. What next?

 

[Cevno]

Yes, someone uses his feet.

Skies one to fine leg

Hardly watched England in the subbie before this year ITBT.

Why the **** could India spinners not bowl like that? Those are some truly excellent balls their from both the spinners.

sachin looked awful the first few balls vs monty ... played much better in the previous over though ...

Ojha did tbh, except his first spell.

Ashwin was disappointing for some reason and Harbhajan was a **** selection anyways.

 

[Spark]

Bit wide there.

Well it's been like this for as long as I remember (which goes back to India in 92-93, when Graeme Hick was the bright spot), with the exception of Pakistan and Sri Lanka in 00-01, and Shaun Udal's Test in 06.

Much welcomed drinks break.

So good to get Pujara cheap. A couple more tonight and we're well on our way.

I'm thinking that Freddie's Heroes in Mumbai 06 is the only time we've won a test in India in my life (not 100% on that but I think the one before was in 83-84 at which point I was waiting to enter this bastard world). Would be epic to see another here.

Yeah correct

We've only ever won 11 Tests in India, list here

84/85, we even had the cheek to win the series with our dreadful team against the mighty Gavaskar and co.

I remember listening to the crackly coverage of Fowler and Gatting scoring double tons in Madras.

About the only time Hick looked good in test cricket. Chris Lewis got a ton in a lost cause as well that tour didn't he?

 

[Cevno]

Going down with the arm.

absolute minefield.

indian spinners, indian fielders, indian captain are all trash
