***Official*** England in India

[Spark]

Gee that's a shocker. Missing by miles.

 

[Cevno]

commentators like collingwood and ganguly were going on about how this pitch was a highway. Since the dismissal, they have shut up.

Err they weren't actually ?

Should have played 2 seamers on this, btw.

 

[Pothas]

****ing joke.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Assuming Dharmasena is making decisions based on a magic coin he has in his trouser pocket rather than the LBW law?

Number one my arse.

 

[Contra]

Ishant won't be complaining, shoulda had Trott

Bring on Jadeja after Ishant finishes his spell I say

 

[tooextracool]

I thought Collingwood called this a 3 day pitch in the pitch report?

 

[centurymaker]

that was not out.

this sri lankan umpire is ****

how the **** did he get umpire of the yr award

out of two decisions he's got both absolutely wrong.

at least my prediction that cook wouldn't get many today has come true

 

[Cevno]

Was making up for the last one there, Dharmasena.

Got pressured.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

****ing joke, absolutely shocking decision.

 

[smash84]

wow....i**** striking early on....that must have brought his average down by 3 points or something

 

[Cevno]

Yeah, short to KP is the way to go here mixed up with a few pitched up.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Think Bresnan will be very effective in this pitch

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well i'll say now, i'd take setting 200 to win it and back our bowlers as by day 3/4 this could be fun to bat on. No complaints they have a pitch like this as India need a result and i'd have done exactly the same. Need as many as possible today.

 

[Cevno]

This is the kind of pitch Sehwag does well on.

 

[Contra]

pressure's on..

Bring on Jadeja I say

Dhoni reads CW.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Basically we have a wicket that appears to be taking as much skill out of the game as possible and reducing it to a lottery - plus umpiring that's exacerbating that fact.

I'm taking it as a complement that India don't think they can win a straight fight...

 

[Spark]

England should back themselves to get and defend 300 here.

 

[centurymaker]

Was making up for the last one there, Dharmasena.

Got pressured.

should've done it to trott then not cook. unfair.

 

[Arachnodouche]

man, I hated Dharmasena as a player and I hate him as an umpire. Eminently hateable bastard.
