***Official*** England in India

[SJS]

I go to the same Gym as Marcus Trescothick, and the rumours that have been floating around there all of a sudden, are that his wife was getting Hilary'ed by another guy as he left for India...

He was told of this in India, and came back to try and get to the bottom of what was going on.. Still rumours of course, not reliable information..

Last night Trescothick’s father-in-law John Rowse refused to speculate on whether the cricketer’s return was the result of marital difficulties. “It is not my place to comment,” he said. “It is up to Marcus if he wants to tell people what the personal reasons are.”

What a first over by Patel so far!

Brilliant son!

 

[adharcric]

Munaf and Sreesanth! Come on boys!

 

[Jono]

Sree's swinging it a mile but can't get the right line.

 

[silentstriker]

Sreesanth bowling too wide.

 

[Achtung Baby]

I think if the ball is moving a lot they should bring in Pathan instead of sreesanth.

 

[What-A-Player]

Is Oasis Shah drunk?

Funniest stance ever

 

[Jono]

Shah's stance is almost uglier than Chanderpaul.

 

[silentstriker]

Is it me or does Owais Shah look like a cartoon character when he is in his stance?

His neck kind of sticks out the side and his upper body is at a different angle to his lower body.

 

[Jono]

I love how so many of us just talked about his stance all at once. Yeah Deano is talking about it too, but boy it really is eye catching.

 

[RolledOver]

Shah did great to survive that over by Munaf.

India should bring on Pathan from other end.

Is Oasis Shah drunk?

I was lookin' for some action
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol.....

 

[superkingdave]

lol at that pull shot

 

[What-A-Player]

Chanderpaul is like a 4th Stump

Shah is just amazing, but whatever works for him

 

[silentstriker]

They just showed the line of Sreesanth. I think he believes that there are seventeen stumps and the off stump is somewhere around second slip.

 

[silentstriker]

Drooooooooooop

 

[adharcric]

Damn that was close. Viru would've let it go for four.

 

[silentstriker]

90mph delivery there.

Indian bowling at 90mph? WTF?

 

[Jono]

Drooooooooooop

Nah fell short, great stop by Laxman.

 

[Barney Rubble]

90mph delivery there.

Indian bowling at 90mph? WTF?

Well, you've also got a guy bowling at 70mph, so I guess everything evens itself out.
