"Monty feels he's been denied a 100 by the umpire"

 

[Spark]

Monty gets a classic #11 call

 

[Howe_zat]

Monty sawn off just short of his hundred. Bastards.

 

[Turbinator]

Well... That was quick.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Well, the one good thing about Ojha is that he rarely gets whacked around. Bowls plenty of ineffective overs but his economy's always OK If we had a genuine wicket taking, leg spinning option at the other end, he'd fill the defensive spinner's slot quite wel.

 

[Contra]

anyhow, good work surprisingly.

Hoping for a big contribution from Kolhi in this innings, he's been **** so far.

 

[Turbinator]

Don't know how I feel about these quick wickets now tbh. This just gives them more time to bowl us out. Doubt we'll make anything close to 200 against an angry Monty.

 

[Contra]

yeah Ojha's eco rate is awesome, if only the rest of our bowlers could keep it tight.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Did that ball end up going to slip anyway?

Not our greatest tail of recent years. Still, 209 is 209, and it's turning nicely.

I dunno why everyone keeps on saying that, surely you'd prefer to erase the deficit and hopefully get a lead, India won't save this game by simply stall for 2 days that much I know, maybe if all our batsmen were in form like 2 years ago but certainly not now.

Our only chance is that we take off this lead and hopefully save the game.

Sehwag's innings will be crucial, reckon if he gets going (I know we always say this) I think we're in with a chance to save it.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Dhoni's job on the line big style - batsman have to deliver.

 

[centurymaker]

if sehwag doesn't do well this time, which is likely, the game will be over tonight or before lunch tomorrow.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Be a bonus if the pacemen get a wicket, can't wait till the spinners are on. Hope Swann is better now and bowls a bit more.

 

[Spark]

Hmm, no gully? He does like to hit it in the air in that direction...

 

[sphynx]

WTF is Swanns 2nd slip position there? he's standing almost partly infront of Cook, Cook would of taken that if he wasn't in the way and falling accross him...........

 

[Howe_zat]

It's all going horribly horribly wrong

Swann better take some ****ing wickets after th morning he's had

When Turbinator is pessimistic you know India are really **** nowadays.

 

[Jono]

Anderson and Finn have bowled well, even if they haven't taken a wicket.

 

[Noble One]

From a neutral perspective; this game has become more interesting with England being rolled over this morning.

I'd like to see England chase 150 with 30-45 overs to do so. Long way off but it's a possibility if India bat well.
