***Official*** India in England 2014

[stumpski]

Feeling bad for Pankaj after watching the highlights. Bowled well first day and a guy who's waited years for a call up needs a bit of luck initially. He didn't get that. If that Bell lbw and that dropped catch had gone his way, his confidence would've soared.

Even if Ishant is able to play in the next Test Pankaj might get another go - Shami hasn't done much after all.

Pujara continues to frustrate. Needs that big one soon.

Stfu Broad you annoying ****

 

[King Pietersen]

Bowling some brutal bouncers this morning. Vijay played that last one bloody well.

 

[Stapel]

That's good cricket by England.

Now, let's see what Kohli makes of the day. He has tonned up in Perth and J'burg (I think), but still has a point to prove by doing well in England.

 

[Adders]

Pujara clown

 

[Adders]

Good take Butler.

 

[King Pietersen]

That was seriously good cricket all-round. Very well bowled, Vijay played it excellently again, and man, what a take from Jos. Hope he keeps like that all game.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

They're bowling well this morning. That last short ball to Vijay from Jimmy was great, and really well played.

That J'burg pitch was a bit of a road though wasn't it?

Great take from Jossington.

Adelaide it was, not perth. He also got one in Wellington, so a century in England will give him 1 in each country.

Don't remind me of that one in Wellington. Cheeky little bugger that Kohli is.

Plus, Jono was there.

Not on day 1 it wasn't.

Yeah. But his Perth innings > his Adelaide ton. Easily .

How on earth did Kohli manage to make a hundred with Jono trying to hump his leg all game??

 

[Contra]

Yeah. But his Perth innings > his Adelaide ton. Easily .

That does not change the fact that he did not get a century at Perth though, which is what Stapel said.

 

[Contra]

lol Chris Jordan.

The restraining order had the desired effect. Plus, the touring Indian team dedicated Harbhajan Singh to the task of keeping Jono away from Kohli. Unfortunately, Jono quite liked being slapped by Harbhajan.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh dear, nice way to bowl your way out of the side.

 

[Stapel]

That J'burg pitch was a bit of a road though wasn't it?

It turned out to be. Ending quite tensely in a draw, while SA were a dozen run shorts chasing 450 or so. Still, India were bowled out pretty cheaply in their first innings, with Kohli making that ton.
