***Official*** England in India

[Sanz]

He looks like a chimp?

No just bowls like one. He is currently in competition with this man :-

 

[Barney Rubble]

Prior runs himself out when well set. Eejit.

 

[Jono]

Good jinx Sanz

 

[Barney Rubble]

Got a feeling Freddie's gonna get out playing a tired, reckless shot - he seems to be hoicking at a few in desperation at the moment. Can't blame him for being desperate, we're awful.

 

[adharcric]

Has anyone ever been more embarrassed watching a cricketer than Ian Blackwell.

He's so far short of international class that it'suntrue

Yet he's been your most threatening bowler in the first two ODIs ...

Flintoff caught on the boundary off Powar's second ball.


PS: Game well and truly over. England'll do well to make 200.

 

[Jono]

Freddy gone. Powar gets him!

 

[adharcric]

Freddie looked like he wanted to cry in his mom's lap after holing out to Sehwag there. Poor guy.

 

[adharcric]

Here comes a real classy batsman in Vikram Solanki, he should do great here.(I hope I'm as good as you in jinxing, Sanz)

If that is the attitude Freddie has as the leader of this team, then I guess he doesn't deserve to be the captain at all.

What? He got out, and he was disappointed. How does that make him unworthy of the captaincy? I'd have thought walking off unperturbed by it would have been the wrong reaction. Disappointment's only natural.

 

[adharcric]

Looking more and more like AA will stay in the side because he's doing decently here. Damn it, he always finds a way. So cheap.

Man don't jinx the team saying that AA will stay.

Powar to Flintoff, OUT: and Powar strikes! tossed up on the stumps,
Flintoff goes down on one knee and slogs it away straight down the
throat of Sehwag at deep midwicket, that's a big wicket

He should have stayed @ the crease, played with little more responsibility. It almost looked as if he had given up. England still had 6 wickets in hand.

AA will stay in the team.

 

[Jono]

Powar deceived him in flight though, it wasn't just Freddy throwing his wicket away (though he did as usual), its like India know Freddy and KP are going to give them chances (particularly against the spinners) and they're fully prepared for it.

Oh, I thought you meant the reaction rather than the shot itself.

Yeah, not a great shot really, but the run-rate had to improve - and I think the man can be excused a lapse in concentration given how shattered he must be.

 

[adharcric]

Man don't jinx the team saying that AA will stay.

Dude I'm trying to jinx AA, but the man is just too annoying. No amount of jinxing can overpower his ability to turn in an annoyingly adequate performance when you least want it.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Solanki goes big off Harbhajan.

23.6 Harbhajan to Solanki, SIX!!, comes down the track and lofts it straight down the ground, super shot by Solanki there!!

Nearly. Keep trying...
