***Official*** England in India

[SJS]

Trouble...serious trouble.

 

[parttimer]

Result is still possible on this pitch, which could be a mindfield on d5. If Eng pacers get the ball to reverse + Monty bowls well suviving 2 sessions will be a chore.

nice jinxing

 

[Barney Rubble]

Let me be the first to call a Tendulkar 100. If that turns out to be a glorious exercise in tempting fate, all the better.

Fate successfully tempted!!! Captain Fred returns and nabs the little master caught at second slip.

 

[parttimer]

Freddie strikes, Sachin gone!@!

In other news, Titanic sinks.

Another failure for Sachin, seems to be the norm these days as far as his performance in test cricket is concerned.


I think Sachin will be able to play test cricket at most till 2007 WC.

Well played.

Flintoff bowls short outside off stump, Sachin does not go across, takes a half step towards middle and off, ball takes off on pitching, Sachin not being right behind the line of the ball is unable to avoid the ball at the last minute, jabs at it and thats that.

I must be on a bit of a delay

That's also 37 innings on the trot when Freddie has bowled and taken a wicket.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Well played.

I've made a habit of doing that in recent series. Getting stuff drastically wrong, I mean.

Hats off to him. That is a quite incredible stat.

Someone needs to tell the little master that unless you get right behind the line of the ball, you cant leave them.

Even great players develope faults and sachin has developed quite a few. Is anyone going top tell him? I wonder.

Flintoff bowls a bouncer to Rahul who moves back to the off stump and then ducks right under it.

I am applying for batting coach

 

[Nate]

I don`t reckon he wants 50.
