***Official*** England in India

Yeah it's crazy. And it has been ages...about 6 years since lara's last test.

Or that he debuted 6 years before Ponting and Kallis.

 

[weldone]

Or that he debuted 6 years before Ponting and Kallis.

...and 7 years before Dravid...

7 years is about as long as the career of some decent test players lol...

 

[cnerd123]

Dumb runout
Good delivery
Loose defence
Needless shot
Catching practice.

Still a flat pitch this. Batsmen just not applying themselves.

 

[Spark]

So Anderson gets his man. Gee he's bowled well today. Seriously well.

 

[cnerd123]

Not even going to be 300 now.

[Howe_zat]

****ing crucial, that.

Unsure of whether to take the new ball now. Might be better to keep this spell going and go for reverse.

 

[NasserFan207]

That had to be reverse right? If not, thats an amazing ball considering which over we're in

 

[Satyanash89]

**** damn it.

Good innings though, and a damn good ball too... hopefully he gets some confidence from this knock

 

[cnerd123]

Good catch from Prior too.

He's probably getting some reverse here. Outfield doesn't look lush or anything.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah those practice pitches help as well

 

[Daemon]

Thank ****. If it comes down to it Dhoni should sacrifice himself for Ashwin imo

 

[NasserFan207]

LOL

Awful cricket allround

 

[cnerd123]

**** off Ashwin. You have legs for a reason lazy ****.

 

[Howe_zat]

Another problem with dropping Broad for Finn that hasn't often been mentioned, that. If Broad was unfit then fine, but otherwise he's been unfairly left out, I think.

 

[cnerd123]

Thank ****. If it comes down to it Dhoni should sacrifice himself for Ashwin imo

Running like that deserves to be dismissed. **** Ashwin. So impressed with the calm Dhoni showed, I would have ****ing raged if my partner ran like that. Useless. Easy single, striker's call, just stands there and doesn't ****ing move. Deserves to be dismissed if you run like that.

 

[NasserFan207]

Yeah Ashwin really is an appalling runner

 

[Pup Clarke]

There was never a run in all fairness to Ashwin. Dhoni's basically hit it straight to Finn and charged.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So Anderson gets his man. Gee he's bowled well today. Seriously well.

Best he has bowled in 2012 I reckon. Deserved more wickets than he has today.

@RossLTaylor

A lot of speculation out there. I have heard from the CEO once. I haven't made any decisions. At no time have I given NZC any...
...ultimatums about Hesson or Me or South Africa.
