***Official*** England in India

[CDAK]

Nice going England... people over here were seen to be worried about England's lack of experience. But u could've thought that all are international players and will come out in colours when least expected from them. Sreesanth & Irfan seem to be pretty ordinary bowlers to them.
Common England, Rahul never under-estimated u.He is right saying a team with Peterson,Fintoff and Harmisson can not be taken lightly

Thats just an insult to ordinary bolwers everywhere. Sreesanth & Irfan are not ordinary bowlers, they are way below ordinary bolwers.

 

[Pratters]

I never thought I would say this -

Kumble is India's fastest bowler.

Santh will come back strongly, give him sometime.


Pathan is a good bowler but it loks to me that he's not fully fit, a half-fit Pathan should really have no place in Indian team.

According to TMS commentators, Harbhajan is nearing the test record for consecutive deliveries without taking a wicket.

510 deliveries at present if you're interested.

 

[CDAK]

Let's give them a chance. Pathan, with these sort of 130s-120s balls had taken many wickets. He is clearly not looking for pace.Also the pitch and the conditions are not supporting pace bowlers. Not many deliveries are carried to the keeper. (sure , it's for neutralisng Harmison).

So the pitch is the culprit for slow bowling, bowling all left and right?

Harbhajan had bowled 82 wicketless overs before today... what's the record, and who holds it?

 

[Pratters]

Crap shot Mr. Strauss.

 

[superkingdave]

Strauss gone, wild slash, first wicket for Santh

 

[adharcric]

Thank you Sreesanth.

 

[chalky]

Crap shot Mr. Strauss.

No patience I'm afraid.

 

[adharcric]

Wow. Sreesanth 87 mph.

It was mentioned that John Emburey holds it currently, but they didn't say what his record was, only that Bhaji was getting near it.

Mind you if England keep playing lose shots like that they won't need him...

 

[aussie]

fluke catch by Laxman..

 

[adharcric]

Looks like Sreesanth is losing his action on occasions, that head is jerking out of place

 

[Pratters]

fluke catch by Laxman..

These kinds of catches some times stick, some times dont.

I dont see how the fielder could have made it more convincing.

Believing that is more realistic, beacuse Irfan has got enough experience to know whether he is bowling fast or not. Hisccess is in swing, even in 120s he is a wicket taking bowler like Vaas. Sreesanth is seen to be confused to do fast or slow.But India clearly is looking for spin...Otherwise England will have the upperhand with more qulity fast bowlers.Who in India needs that?
