***Official*** England in India

[smash84]

Lol. Worst ball ever. "Jadeja's mystery ball" sez Nass.

[Jono]

Kohli trying to fire up the boys. Love him.

Sky comms lying 'cos they hate PEWS too, IMHO.

 

[Teja.]

Ishant to bowl full and to the stumps instead of trying to beat the batman bowling length balls outside off.

Beating the batsman 4 times wont give you half a wicket ****.

Na, lying so they can wind up Indian fans later on twitter.

Well if by hitting they mean DRS-standard hitting then it absolutely was a bad decision and I'll taste it.

pews tasting is the highlight of so many ppl's day.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Trott with the highest strike rate of the match. Who needs KP?

Blocked a few so gone below Swann again now.

 

[Prince EWS]

We don't even get to see it either. Just taking the sky commies word.

It's raining Lenin? Kill me now.

Atherton loves me ftr.

Always been lacking in moral fibre, Athers.

I wonder how Ishant would go as a bowler in an attack full of strong bowlers. A lot has been said about how he doesn't bowl the right length to take wickets, and is only good for building pressure.
If the other bowlers bowling around him did a similar job, would Ishant have more wickets to show for it? Surely a batsmen would be pressured into fishing after one of those tight deliveries and nicking it if he can't get runs at either end?

still sticking by
150/2 worst case scenario for the day for england.

yea good point this.

It's a possibility, but it's no way worst scenario.

One of these two goes and we get KP - def not his situation, then Bell - shyte & Root - debutant.

130/5 is worst case, IMHO.

It's a point that's been often made tbf - that Sharma is at best a 3rd seamer, but he's trying to do an attack leader's job.

jadeja plz pick up trott at least now,

he has always been an awesome 3rd seamer. The only problem is that the 1st seamer is out injured and the 2nd is pretty similar to him

Tough luck for Ishant then. Maybe somewhere down the line he'll strike it good when Yadav gets up to scratch.

 

[centurymaker]

they just showed that the pitch has not changed at all over the 4 days......
