I think it's a bit unfair to categorise RolledOver as another troll...he's hardly been given a chance.

NO !! He is not a troll.

He is a VISIONARY ! He sees things.

I really don't know why that's making me laugh so much.

This match seesm to be all but drawn, nearly two days has passed by and India hasn't even batted.This could be a bad news for India, they are the better team and should have been atleast 1-0 up by now, but unfotunately its still 0-0.

India will go into last match under pressure, as they are the home team and are expected to win the series, and they will have just one last match to win the series.India happen to be "poor last test match playing team". They lost the last test match to Pak played in India , thereby letting Pak drew the series, they lost the last test match to Pak, played in Pak, thereby letting Pak win the series and now they are up against a dangerous English team.

I would say India will be walking on thin ice in the last test match.

An interesting post. I don't agree with either the first or last paragraphs though.

England have been the better team for parts and India have been better for parts. I would say with the weather for this second Test (ie heading for a draw thus England being five down for nothing isn't such a big deal) that this series is dead even at the moment.

I wouldn't have believed at the start of the series but it's true IMO. I, however, agree with ol' Pedders that it'll be a sandpit at Mumbai and you'll take/sneak a victory and take the series. I'm hoping not obviously, but realism makes me think it'll happen.

Astonishing lack of faith in the Python there.

Clarke 6.2 0 9 6
Hauritz 22 4 87 2

You might have something there Barney they still lost though.

As much as I love the Python:

Python < Killer and Kumble.

Clarke`s 6/9 was hilarious. Most of his deliveries didn`t really turn, like his one to Kaif where Kaif just played down the wrong line.

And this Munaf guy sounds all that. How many wickets has he taken so far?

 

[Jono]

I'd laugh so hard if another Mumbai killer track was prepared.

But I reckon India should be preparing more tracks like Chennai 2004 against Australia. That was a perfect Indian test match wicket, where a result should have happened had it not been for the rain. One of my favourite tests I've ever watched, ruined.

That was the one where Day 5 was set up to be fantastic with either side equally able to win wasn't it?

 

[honestbharani]

it was and it had the potential to even upstage the tied test which I apparently watched LIVE as a toddler. I felt horrible that day.

How is India a better team here, England are still 200/5 on a seamer friendly pitch and I think it is not a bad score at all. About the first test I dont know how you say that India were the better team in the first test and whould have been 1-0 when the facts clearly state that England dominated 3 days of the test and on the 5th day If England wanted they could have batted all of 5th day and demoralised Indian attack, but they didn't do that and gave India a competitive target. so out of 5 days england dominated3 days, india dominated 1 and I would say 5th day was even.

:****ed: no way we would have won for sure.... yeah that was the one.....

I was/am actually talking about one guy, some ppl would like to disbelieve but its my prediction that 2 year from now Munaf Patel will be top bowler of the world.

Why stop there?

Why not go for the greatest ever?
