***Official England in India***

[biased indian]

Dhoni is trying to act smart. Peterson will rape Yovraj Sink.

thats a new way to spell him

 

[masterblaster]

Pietersen and Cook looking determined here and are set for a big partnership. It doesn't seem like a hard pitch to bat on so I'd expect England to get up to 300 at least unless India bowl exceptionally well.

 

[roseboy64]

Pietersen and Cook doing well here.

 

[R_D]

England scoring runs far too easily... too many 4 balls being bowled every over.

 

[roseboy64]

Chance missed there.

 

[roseboy64]

50 for Cook.

 

[wpdavid]

Glad I missed the start of the innings. Anyway, good recovery by these two. Let's hope Cook can go on with it for once.

And sure enough the silly bugger goes immediately

Hmm...

Harbhajan bowling usual fast tripe.. bring Mishra on.

 

[Uppercut]

Any particular reason why Yuvraj bowled before Mishra?

To have go at KP, I would think. Anyway, Colly gone and India are into the tail.
England to follow on tonight, in all probability.

kp i would think

 

[Uppercut]

Mishra fully justifies my confusion with an absolute peach

Flintoff the walking wicket continues to bat at 6.shocking!

 

[superkingdave]

I know it isn't likely to last long but geez this is top viewing watching Pietersen and Flintoff take to the spinners. Pietersen getting a bit too shot a ball and cheeky though, the reverse six was nice but i preferred Flintoff's 6 down the ground

 

[social]

Great stuff from KP

IMO, was only a matter of time before he clocked up big runs in India as the only thing I've really seen trouble him is bounce

Also good to see them trying to win rather than just being ultra defensive as per the Aussies

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bell, eh? What's the ****ing point of him, then?

Cook's 50 & outs are getting a wee bit tiresome too. His conversion rate must be getting as bad as rat-boy's now.

Fair play to KP tho.

 

[silentstriker]

Yes, excellent stuff here by KP.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Playing with a partly healed fractured rib too. Quality innings. Two of my favourite players tonning up within a day of each other. So good.

Flintoff the walking wicket continues to bat at 6.shocking!

There is something about having Pietersen and Frintoff in the middle. I have been looking forward to watching these two men perfroming together, for a while now. I think it's a good thing to have him back: Flintoff the batsman!

100 run partnership. Well done. If these two can survive this session (big if), we might have a match again!
