***Official*** England in India

[centurymaker]

Worst case is if no wickets fall and England start getting runs.

this i fear is what will start to happen eventually.

get compton out, he's actually looking to score a bit.

 

[Spark]

he's already scored 100s this tour
so maybe he's looking to get a new record under his belt, perhaps the slowest 10, 20 or something?

so that he's seen as a versatile player

if he managed to bat till end of day tomorrow. this knock would remain in our minds much longer than his 100s.

Burnt into our memories via sheer repetition, eh?

Might get to double figures by then.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not much I can add by way of comment about India's collection brain fart. It was just so counter-intuitive one suspects they must be working some tactical angle.

& I think Beefy doesn't like Dermot Reeve much "You can't choose the players you have to play in the same team as".

yeah. "remember the 10 hr innings he played in nagpur, what an effort that was" etc..

 

[Cevno]

Yay! Something happened. Four.

 

[Cevno]

Ishant back on.

Not a bad move, but would have waited for 3/4 more overs.

 

[Cevno]

And he's gone under 2.5 for strike rate too.

Under 2 the next target?

 

[centurymaker]

i bet the english ppl are regretting attending this match.

should've gone home early for xmas

 

[Cevno]

Ooh close shout that.

Just missing leg.

 

[centurymaker]

wish it hadn't seamed so much.

 

[Cevno]

Lunch.

Well, that was one pointless session if there was ever one.

 

[Spark]

Cook goes into lunch sitting pretty on 2.17, well set to make a push into the 1s after lunch.

Could have basically declared overnight and just decided to take the morning off, tbh.

 

[centurymaker]

pitch is still **** dead.

i think this test could easily last 6 days

 

[Jono]

****house session from both teams but unless England lose wickets they will not give a ****. And good on them.

 

[centurymaker]

india have about 100-110 more overs to get england out.

60 odd balls per wicket

 

[flibbertyjibber]

india tasting it

1 session almost over and india has made no progress

That is the daft thing, England are laughing as a session has gone and absolutely nothing has happened apart from the pitch has shown it still has no demons in it. Bat sensibly and we win the series.

 

[Jono]

Maybe Dhoni wants to get sacked?

 

[Spikey]

that highlights package was the best highlights package ever

 

[centurymaker]

i fear that by tea, no more than 1 wicket will have fallen


india will be tasting it hard, if that is the case

 

[centurymaker]

that highlights package was the best highlights package ever

shortest ever.
or maybe it had dot balls/singles in it?
