***Official*** England in India

[steds]

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.

Tough ****. Dave Mohammed will.

Tough ****. Dave Mohammed will.

Can I ask why the love for Dave Mohammed does he post here or something?

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.

I would say you're talking a fair amount of crap.
For a start, you can't just say India are the better team. The better team is the one that plays better, which for large parts of the first test was England.
They are under pressure because Indians (atleast the ones that post in here) happen to put them under pressure by being the most melodramatic creatures roaming this planet.
And past results count for nothing.

it'll be a sandpit at Mumbai

Funny you should say that. I just saw the groundsmen today.

If he does post here I don't know about it. It's just because he's amazingly cool, has an amazingly cool name to match and is actually a good (if not world beating) bowler thrown into the deal.

 

[aussie]

well just like the 1st test, tommorow morning should be looking getting to 350 anything more will be bonus. The bloke Patel was reversing the ball on the 1st day so their is hope for england bowlers ito restrict India if they get a good 1st innings total.

this guy knows what he's talking about TT Boy, Tadpole is the real deal, watch and learn. watch and learn

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.

Seamer friendly pitch?

Seamer friendly pitch?

Mister Ed has more life than this pitch.

Never seen the guy in full flight, his figures seem rather reasonable though for a spinner who plies his trade in the West Indians.

Lol!

 

[Sanz]

Seamer friendly pitch?

Well I am not watching the game but Mohali has traditionally been a Seamer firndly pitch, even if it is not a traditional mohali pitch, overcast condition do favor the seamers.

How else do you explain Pathan's wickets ?

Really Sanz, this pitch is ridiculously flat, no seam movement at all. Particularly in the first session. Read the reports.

It was reversing for Patel from his 2nd spell onwards, but the pitch is still flat, no sideways movement of the pitch at all.

 

[SJS]

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

Come on.

The guy had a breath taking(ly) great start.
Bowled at awesome speed !!
Has the best...yorker in the game !!!
An amazing slower ball !!!!
Is a tearaway fast bowler... ready to rock the world !!!!!

And you also want him to take wickets ???

Be reasonable

 

[SJS]

Most of his deliveries didn`t really turn,

THAT's the trick !!

What an incredibly awesome smilie

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Good tight bowling for the most part ensuring a quiet start, with England looking to push on they could easily lose some cheap wickets.

What the hell is Dravid doing? Harbhajan and Chawla have bowled a total of 11 overs, and they just took the new ball.
