***Official*** England in India

[chicane]

freddie and the two spinners will be the key for england. harmo and hoggard, well if they just remove one of the openers theyve done well.

will be very interesting to see how they bowl, the bowling is their worry, batting has looked decent. this is a quality attack with some terrific fast bowlers, but a question mark on the spinners. lets see..

Srinath SUCKS... !!


Who in their deranged mind made Srinath a commentator ? His english is absolutely pathetic - and seeing that his main job is 'communicating' (other than sucking up to Dravid, Kumble and Tendulkar) - how in the heck can he do the job.

He should quit out of embarrassement - just completely pathetic. Can we get Shastri ? PLEASE....

No more Srinath....argghhhh !!

Agreed. Can we get Srinath out of there - can we start a collection so we can pay him what he makes as a commentator and ask him to LEAVE....

 

[Neil Pickup]

Hopefully. If England make under 340 I win some money

And if England make more than 340...

 

[IndianByHeart]

England's tail have really fought well, at one point it looked that England would end up near 280, now they are 338-9.

Harmi did a great job with bat, really enjoyed his batting.

Doode - Press de moot batan aun yor remute end waach de gem.

I hope Collingwood makes his century..He desrves a 100 here.

 

[kvemuri]

Hmm...why not put Sreesanth at the other end and work Panesar over and finish the innings. I am surprised that Indians aren't putting pressure on Panesar...and as i write it Collingwood hammers a six..and gets his 100..very well played Paul Collingwood.

 

[aussie]

well played Colly, just what england needed i'd say.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Brilliant, Colly. Brilliant.

Did I get to the point where I wanted you out? I can't remember... I got to the "not sure" stage, I remember that much. Great knock. Particularly well shepherded with Panesar (who has also batted well) - loving that straight six, too.

The pitch is getting a bit interesting now - AK exploding a couple off the pitch into Dhoni's helmet, and another couple have shot low. It'll be interesting come day five.

Well played Collingwood.. magnificient century under pressure.. and England also have got 350..

 

[Sanz]

Well Played Collingwood, Now who need Thorpe when there is Colly. Very well played.

 

[chicane]

well done paul collingwood. both replacements for vaughan and tresco have done well. batting isnt looking so miserable now huh?

 

[chicane]

chance missed. laxman has been sloppy in the slips.

Better luck next time!!

 

[Sanz]

English batsmen have done their job well, Now it is upto the bowlers, If Harmison and Flintoff can get some early wickets, It can become very interesting.

In the mean time 10th wicket partnership continues..29 runs in 8 overs.

 

[IndianByHeart]

Colly really played well, his ton was a top one.

England really are in a good position, thanks to good work by Colly and the tail.

 

[Prince EWS]

It has been the regulars who have failed with the bat, though. None of Strauss, Bell, Pietersen, Flintoff or Jones passed fifty. I have a feeling that Collingwood may now be considered a "regular" though after that innings.

 

[honestbharani]

chance missed. laxman has been sloppy in the slips.

honestly, dude, I can't think of any slipper in the world who would have caught that. Although I do remember Strauss taking a stunner at second slip during the Ashes, but it was THAT tough.
