***Official*** England in India

[greg]

Of course the 2nd test might have looked very different had Pathan been given out caught behind when the score was 160-5. But still England shouldn't have had to look back at that moment - they should have got more runs in the first innings.

As for batting collapses. It happens, get over it. Have people forgotten Pak-Eng third test already? But Sreekanth should be batting higher.

Yeah Australia were obviously no doubt depleted, but did you see India's bowling line-ups in those 4 tests? Pitiful.

OI!!!!!!!!!!!!

You had AA, what more do you want?!

But Sreekanth should be batting higher.

Sreekanth?

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Sreekanth?

Slip of the hand (by six keys though, greg must be on the absinth again).

 

[Anil]

but I think you will find I have been saying the same for a while now

you saying it for a hundred years in angry and frustrated response to some trolls doesn't necessary make it a reasoned or thought-out or correct or valid one....

Please dont bring umpring again, If I wanted I could have brought Sachin's umpteen umpring jokes of decisions he got between 2003 & 2005, but I didn't do it because it is part of the game and we got to accept it and move on.

 

[adharcric]

Cricinfo indicates that Virender Sehwag and Mohammad Kaif have also been included in the squad to face England in the warm-up match at Jaipur.

 

[Barney Rubble]

It's bad enough he's even in the squad...

I believe I said exactly the same thing to at least one person on MSN earlier.....he's had his chance(s).

 

[Sanz]

Well watching the News right now and they report that Sehwag might not play in first few games. Zee news os also reporting that Ganguly may be considered for the series sinnce both Sachin and Sehwag are injured.

Man the english team for Jaipur game looks like Immigrant Asian XI with Kabir Ali, Sajid Mahmood, Owais Shah, Vikram Solanki in the team. All they need is someone with names like Chang Chi Fui and Hamisho Okolimo

 

[adharcric]

Damn I missed the Zee News. I'll try HT now, they always have gossip floating around.

Speaking of Sehwag's woes, my prediction just might come true. I really hope he's unfit so we can see Raina playing and Pathan opening.

 

[adharcric]

There goes Gambhir. India 28/2, with Anderson and Mahmood picking up a wicket each. Raina on 7.

 

[adharcric]

Sweet! I'm getting the wam-up match for free on dish. This is awesome.

 

[adharcric]

Raina playing some beautiful shots here against Anderson.
As I type, cracking straight drive. 14 runs from Anderson's over. Mind you, he's bowling decently.

Now, some more smashing drives off Ali. Raina looking very impressive at the moment.

 

[pug]

Raina's making some strong statements here.

 

[adharcric]

Kaif joining in now. The future of Indian cricket on display here, folks.

 

[adharcric]

Raina caught in the deep on 49.

 

[adharcric]

Feels so good to see Jadeja at the crease again. Let's see what the Indian Bevan can do.

 

[adharcric]

Srinath just called Kaif the best middle-order batsman for India. Apparently, he's a good all-rounder too.

Read a column in our newspaper in which Inzamam lashed out at people who were booing Sachin Tendulkar.

I think if ppl leave players alone then the star players will be under less pressure and will perform better.

That's a pathetic excuse for any Indian player. Every Indian cricketer should be used to media and public criticism as well as glorification, Tendulkar has surely seen plenty of it throughout his career as well.
