***Official*** England in India

[aussie]

that was good bowling from Hoggard, exposing a HUGE weakness that i have seen in Sehwag almost all the time.

 

[Sanz]

9 gone 81 more to go. Hopefully Kiran More's team of future will be able to save the test.

Well as long as that wall from the past, Dravid, stays at the crease, there's a chance.

 

[Sanz]

Yes, He is the only man who can save this test for us. I hope he plays well today.

 

[Sanz]

10.1 Hoggard to Jaffer, no run, good length delivery from Harmison, a bit straighter, Jaffer drives it to mid-on, closes the face of the bat and therefore the ball comes off the outer half of the bat

Hoggard runs in to bowl, and turns into Harmison.

 

[Nate]

Good on Cook for an amazing performance. Now go Hoggy and Monty!

 

[superkingdave]

The Python starts with a decent first over

 

[Sanz]

9 more balls to go before lunch. This session clearly belongs to India.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Unbelievably, Blackwell finds Dravid's outside edge.

More believably, Geraint spills it.

 

[Jono]

Love your work Dravid, just sheer class. Brilliant stuff from Jaffer too. Solid as a rock.

England will have to do what Pakistan did in the 3rd test against England last year, where England were only 2 down at lunch yet they managed to bowl them out and win the game.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You cannot be serious.

Send Geraint home.

 

[aussie]

i wonder how costly this drop form Jones will be, he really needs to tighten up in this area.

Just how many catches were spilled by India yesterday ?

....... someone says for the zillionth time in the last 18 months

One or two drops dont make much difference. If your main bowlers were not able to create more than one opportunity in 30 overs then there must be something wrong with the bowling.

 

[Jono]

Just how many catches were spilled by India yesterday ?

Yeah and they were easier too.

I think its more the fact that Geraint just keeps on doing it, which results in the big cry when he puts down another. And its not like he's making up for it with the bat.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Or the fact that there's really nothing in this wicket, and hasn't been except for the third morning after the rain!

 

[Neil Pickup]

You cannot be serious.

Send Geraint home.

In all fairness, it was far from an easy chase. A one-in-three.

 

[Pratters]

So why claim that they both have the same effect on a person?

I haven't.

So according to you street cricket = first class cricket?

 

[Jono]

India bowled on there too, but it was poor bowling when they were bowling but its the pitch now? Or?
