***Official*** England in India

[Sanz]

400/9 well batted England. India have bowled well.

 

[Nuts]

Great to see Jimmy sticking around. The 5 Live commentators were suggesting he probably batted higher for his club side Burnley but I can confirm he rarely batted higher than 8 even then!

Unless Pathan and Harbhajan both pick up at least 3 GENIUNE wickets apiece in the 2nd innings, I would've liked to see the following lineup in the next match (if there was one).

Jaffer, Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Laxman/Kaif, Dhoni, Powar, Kumble, Munaf, Sreesanth

Trust me, Powar has as good a chance of getting those 20 wickets as Pathan and Harbhajan combined, the way they're bowling right now.

 

[scriptkidd]

never count India out, they are going to get Eng all out today (2nd day). I am sure they are pumped up after a dismal performance yesterday

I said it.

I said it.

great going genius.

 

[Sanz]

That's it. England all out for 400. I am so happy for Bhajji.

 

[Nuts]

did you predict KP would be out playing a loose shot as well? ;-)

I think you are being unfair to Bhajji. He did bowl very well today. It is very hard for a spinner take any wicket on this sort of pitch.

I said it.

See? See what I said about telepathic parasitic arthropods?

The swines try to remain hidden but they reveal themselves to me. They think they are clever but then they get careless and let their guard down.

Don't believe me? You must be one of them.

Unlucky when half of his wickets have been umpiring errors?

I didn't mean unlucky with the umpiring. The kind of luck where the batsmen edges the ball as opposed to missing it; a couple of times the ball has fallen short of the fielders and in this match, a couple of catches were dropped of his bowling.

Amazing, insightful and incisive observation by Srinath:

"The team that will win this match must get the opposition out twice".....

Wow. What a brilliant commentator. Then he added:

"English will be bowling for the first time in this match"

Stunning points being made here...

You're obsessed with him.

I don't think he's bowled as poorly as the average indicated, but an average of 200+ (last few matches) is simply unacceptable for a player of Bhajji's caliber. He needs to somehow regain his touch, whether it means a short run of domestic cricket (which is pretty much done now, so forget that) or just being rested for a match to work things out.

yeah man, we all know he's crap, but it's starting to get old now. move on.

Not any more than you are with Inzamam it would seem...

So i was wrong, he's indeed worse than Waqar.

 

[luckyeddie]

JustTool sees things too - he knows that's not the real Srinath any more since the parasitic telepathic arthropods got involved. They are everywhere.

Why do you think all sites start with WWW?

Honestly, one of the worst come-backs ever.

 

[adharcric]

seriously ..

 

[viktor]

Yep, that was out.. but indians didn't seem like they appealed for the LBW.. they had an half hearted appeal for the catch behind the stumps..

anyway Pathan is bowling at less than 120 Kph

Dhoni was definitely pointing at the batsman when appealing, seemingly indicating that he thought the batsman was LBW. Regardless, I wanted to clarify one thing: The players don't have to specify what they are appealing for, do they?
