***Official*** England in India

[flibbertyjibber]

Any batsman who got out with that many would want more and be annoyed. The team are hardly likely to have told him off for letting them down are they?

just out. fielder should have taken the ball before it passed the stumps tho obviously.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gonesville.

Now, that really wasn't very clever, was it, Matthew?

 

[Manee]

C'mon, let's wrap up the tail and then really apply with the bat. To paraphrase Mr Burns, Tendulkar is "due a good performance".

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What the hell happened there? I missed it as my digibox rebooted on me.

he might have came from second slip ...so wont have got the time ?

That's so typical of England in the last 12 months. They've pretty much lost the knack of winning close cricket games.

Prior thought there was a single (erroneously), Broad (correctly) disagreed but the former had run over halfway and couldn't get back.

Crikey, look at Pessemistic Dick here. Game far from lost yet. Rather be in England camp than indian right now. We have a decent lead and a chance to build it further.

Lucky to get that run out. Otherwise Prior is a stubborn lower order batsman.

And as I read....

 

[smash84]

Yeah but we are already 68 in front with 4 wickets left and one of our best players is at the crease. No reason to think the lead won't grow over 100 and towards 150.

wanted to comment earlier that you will probably end up jinxing england

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well, if it keeps Harby in the team...

 

[biased indian]

will 200 be a good enough lead ?? dont see us scoring more than 300

hopefully kp and cook wont come good again...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well, under 100 it is then by look of it. Guess his ribs aren't too bad then.

 

[ankitj]

Harbhajan has more test wickets than Ambrose. That's not fair.

Reckon 150 would do ya, tbh.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

And as I read....

yeah but you are already saying it is 2-0. Long way to go yet. India might be 5 down before they wipe out the defecit for all we know.

 

[Dissector]

Not looking good for India. Even if they restrict the lead to under 100 the pitch seems to be doing more. It's going to take a monumental knock from someone and some poor batting from England to win this game. I still think a draw is unlikely.
