***Official*** India in England 2014

[Cevno]

Just slightly short. Urgh.

 

[Zinzan]

Is it just me or does Strauss have a very slight speech impediment?

 

[hendrix]

Excellent over from Bhuvi, that. Made him play the whole over, nice and full.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

wtf? Such a massive difference in the pitch as compared to day 1. Looks a lot less green.

Will be bare by the time they get on on day 4 (presuming tomorrow is a washout looking at the forecast) and be a normal Lord's road.

 

[Cabinet96]

I find it bizarre that people get offended by booing

Especially someone like Shri.

 

[hendrix]

terrible drop.

 

[Adders]

Englandesq fumble in the slips there.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, that was pathetic.

 

[weeman27bob]

That's an awful shot.

 

[hendrix]

and there goes Cook!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well we've seen that before.

 

[Adders]

Oh no.

 

[Sachin95]

Yeeeeeeees!! Bhuvi!!

 

[91Jmay]

Bad drop there, but Cook fails yet again. Back to Essex for some runs could do him a world of good. Would be a ballsy move but I'm not sure what the downside is tbh.

 

[91Jmay]

Shesh last 3 or 4 deliveries adding a lot of credibility to the idea that these are two pretty **** sides aye.

 

[karan316]

This pitch looks pretty easy to bat on today. Cook had a good chance to score a few runs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, that was pathetic.

As was that by the captain.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Seriously just drop Cook for Lyth already.

Not sure that will do any good though. He'll just go back and start smashing Div 2 attacks like he was at the start of the season.......not sure how long we can keep carrying him but the only way he'll get "fixed" is playing test cricket IMO.

He just needs to grind out the ugliest innings imaginable and get a score. I'm sure if he could somehow drag himself to a hundred he'd be back.

Would he though? His technique outside off isn't going to change...
