***Official*** India in England 2014

[flibbertyjibber]

We know what to do. Make Gale captain and go with this line up....

Lyth
Lees
Ballance
Gale
Root
Bairstow
Rashid
Bresnan
Plunkett
Sidebottom
Brooks

Would probably bowl better as a unit anyway.

 

[Jono]

At what point does our good mate Dhoni play for the draw?

 

[Jono]

Ok no jokes, Ishant is bowling well.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, that is just poor cricket from Dhoni and the slip cordon to not have that carrying.

 

[Jono]

Damn so close. Ishant is this morning.

Field closer Dhawan ffs

 

[CricAddict]

At what point does our good mate Dhoni play for the draw?

Now. He first plays for the draw and then, when an England win is out of question, tries to sneak out a win.

 

[Blocky]

Considering Stokes and Prior have both been walking wickets of late, maybe they'll fear Broad and Anderson more.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

To be fair we all know unless it rains the draw is a nono so today is a good test of Dhoni if England get anywhere near the target.

Still think we won't get over 250 and it will be easy for India but a century stand by any England pair will make it a great days play.

 

[Teja.]

England need to score at 2.4 to win.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Think I just heard that the tickets for the day are £30 it's the fifth day ffs.

 

[Hurricane]

Fascinating watching Dhoni standing back to the spinner. Never seen that before.

 

[Blocky]

INB4 Sharma bowls India to victory.

 

[Spikey]

Fascinating watching Dhoni standing back to the spinner. Never seen that before.

actually a pretty cool idea

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, that expensive. Would have thought it should be £5 for kids/oap's and £15 for adults max. Get a full ground then too.

 

[Jono]

Odd. Was £10 in 2011 on the 5th day and that had a guarantee of more play and the possibility of a Sachin 100th international century.

 

[Jono]

Holding just does not want a spinner bowling on the 5th day hey.

 

[cnerd123]

Jaddu bowling it shorter with MSD back; to make it harder for Moeen to come down the wicket.

He's bowling well, but as Holding pointed out, the wickets aren't coming.

Just going by what Blofeld said on TMS. Least that's what I think it was.

 

[hendrix]

He's like the girl from that nursery rhyme. When she was bad she was very, very bad.

met a few of those itbt

Yep, not doubting you just find it a bit of a rip if so.
