***Official*** England in India

[Contra]

I must say this is a bit of a gamble, either Dhoni is supremely confident that this pitch will spin or India are thinking that England will easily fold vs spin all the time. Either way I'm a little worried

Winning the toss helps a lot though

Good to see Bhajji back though, he's been really unfortunate having to bowl on flat indian wickets in the past only to see the younger spinners take a bagful against WI and NZ.

First hour really crucial, SehWAG cmon put on a show for us! I've got work late in the day tom so I can stay up for quite a while =)

**** me.

Bangers to follow suit and stop playing 2 quicks as well.

India tempting fate into injuring Zaheer as much as they possibly can.

 

[grecian]

Well insomnias kept me up so far, but I perversely feel like going to bed before it starts

 

[Daemon]

5 spinners in one game. They should extend it to 100 overs in a day

 

[uvelocity]

good move. if your seamers aren't up to it play to your strengths. lanka should do the same

 

[Turbinator]

Haha damn!!

 

[Flem274*]

Might be going down leg imo.

 

[Daemon]

Typical Gambhir dismissal

 

[Pothas]

Yeah!!!!

 

[Flem274*]

Might be going down leg imo.

 

[Spark]

well that's an interesting start

 

[Spark]

More pace in this deck than Adelaide based on that one

 

[centurymaker]

good that gambhir is out although maybe tad unlucky
**** player who hasn't done anything for 3 yrs.

 

[Contra]

eh... gotta play out this first hour properly. GG really needs to get it together because otherwise Rahane has a good case for opening.

 

[Daemon]

Rahane hasn't been picked as an opener iirc.

 

[centurymaker]

good bounce in the wicket.
looking like a good wicket for cricket

 

[Flem274*]

such a good shot

 

[Daemon]

Did England play on the same strip in their warm up game?

 

[centurymaker]

no
