***Official*** England in India

Ah, Srinath. He is the Bulwer-Lytton of commentators.

Must admit - I am 10000% in agreement on this with you. Please God, what have we done to deserve him ?

 

[JustTool]

Thank you for the positive comment.

Well, you are a good teacher and nothing like a few wickets to turn me positive

 

[Sanz]

Thank you for the positive comment.

After India took 3 quick wickets, he has calmed down a bit...I guess that is the only way to keep him quiet and positive.

 

[irfan]

Wow a real opening now for India, they could really tighten the game up and tip the balance closer to an even keel considering the state of the pitch.

Just a litltle aside India have more bowlers that can bowl 140+ than Eng atm !
who wud've predicted that a couple of months ago

JT - You are the Srinath of this forum.

 

[Sanz]

England 368/8. I must say India have done well so far to get back into the game and all those having few rants in the morning must realise that opposition is also here to play some cricket, they are going to have some good sessions as well.

 

[adharcric]

Come on Bhajji, at least take a wicket now.

 

[IndianByHeart]

England 380-8... India have done well but need to restrict England to a score not greater than 400.

Shah has batted very well in this match, and i think Santh has bowled beutifully today.

 

[Sanz]

Another drop, this time by Dravid.

 

[Jono]

Lol, now Dravid takes a ripper.

Shah gone on 88. Played amazingly, and he's got a bit of arrogance too about him. Not afraid to talk it up with the bowlers.

 

[Sanz]

That was un-necessary talk and IMO it broke his concentration. Guess Bhajji had the last laugh.

 

[IndianByHeart]

Shah misses his ton by 12 runs, Bhajji gets the wkt.

 

[marc71178]

Ahh that was one KP wkt

Yes, 1 out of 2 he'd got.

Yeah I like the look of Shah as well. He should remain at #3 with Bell at #4 and Collingwood missing out, until Vaughan returns.

Does this rate as one of the worst fielding displays ever by India? Must have been 5 missed chances at the very least.

 

[adharcric]

Why the hell do we have spinners operating at the tail-enders when we have two young seamers with awesome yorkers?

There's been 5 today and at least 5 yesterday.

 

[Sanz]

Common be patient. Santh is back in the attack.

 

[superkingdave]

cmon Jimmy lad, 50 here for the taking

 

[luckyeddie]

400 up - that's the first objective achieved - many more than I thought and almost as many as I hoped..
