***Official England in India***

Just a touch of turn for Swann then.

England 60%
India 30%
Draw 10%

Eng 65%
Ind 35%

don't see this being a draw ...and any way this match deserves a result

 

[Neil Pickup]

Last time I got out of bed at 4:00 to watch England it was in the first Test in Pakistan three years ago. Hope it's not an omen. Come on boys...

 

[pskov]

So now that Dravid is out of the way the real chase can begin.

ya agree bring lax upto 3 ...take bhadahri and rohit in team

Remove dravid as well as yuvi

 

[adharcric]

Honestly, I won't complain if Dravid is dropped for Badrinath in Mohali. He should probably get the whole series but I won't complain if he doesn't. Such a pity.

 

[Athlai]

Fred to win this.

 

[duffer]

He should probably get the whole series .

Nup, he's been a liability for far too long. Not even a solid slipper either. Time to go Rahul.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Would have been romantic from a cricketing pov if Dravid and Ganguly had both exited together. This is painful to watch. The selectors will do him little harm now by making him return to the domestic scene to work up some kind of form.

 

[neutralguy]

There you go. Thats the last we have seen of dravid. He should have dropped out of the team an year back.
England to win this match by 120 runs.Hopefuly we should win the next match with vijay or badrinath in.

 

[NUFAN]

7 ducks in 225 innings is an amazingingly low rate for Dravid. Not many people have a better rate - Mark Taylor 5 ducks in 186 innings is phenomonal considering he got a pair on captaincy debut.

 

[duffer]

Make or break for Yuvi when he gets in today. He needs to show he has the cajones for Test cricket other wise we're carrying two passengers in our top 6.

 

[haroon510]

Time for dravid to retire..i would love to see rohit sharma, robin othapa, surish Riana and afew other young batsmans replacing him..

 

[Days of Grace]

Shame for kiwi spectators that they might not see Dravid in New Zealand.

I feel he would come good on slightly greener pitches in NZ whilst the other 5 FTBs in the top 6 would be shown up.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That would be from the Mohammad Kaif book of close fielding...
