*Official* First Test at Lord's

[GIMH]

Now THAT is how you bowl short Stuey

 

[Teja.]

FMD, Please atleast let Dravid ton up.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

How many players are on both batting and bowling honours boards at Lord's?

 

[AlwaysProteas]

Fair enough

Will Zaheer get a runner?

The rule of no runner takes effect on October 1st.

 

[Prince EWS]

Would be really unjust if Dravid couldn't ton up here. It's been an awesome innings.

 

[tooextracool]

Well this is really why the declaration was a real shocker for me. England are going to have to bat and not have any idea what kind of total they need in order to be safe while still having enough time to bowl India out. Getting India to follow on could have been critical.

Agreed.

 

[Rush]

Nice knock by Praveen.

Also R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

 

[tooextracool]

A cover drive on the jump has to be one of the more remarkable shots I've seen. Such a bittersweet moment this Rahul Dravid performance. Love the man, just wish he saved this kind of run for the Aussies.

 

[The Sean]

How many players are on both batting and bowling honours boards at Lord's?

Botham and Miller the only two I'm aware of. Miller the only overseas player.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Na disagree tooextracool, as long as we have 120 overs to bowl at India we should win as long as we hold our catches. May well get more than that anyway with the lead we will already have giving us enough time anyway. Also the bowlers will be fresher having had their feet up for most of tomorrow.

 

[Prince EWS]

Well deserved.

 

[Rush]

Btw did anyone realise Dravid is the now the 2nd highest run scorer in tests, I didn't see any mention of it in my stream

 

[Teja.]

Well played, Rahul.

One of the greats.

 

[GIMH]

Well played.

 

[grecian]

Not seen Dravid show that much emotion for a ton. Anyway well-deserved a top player and top innings.

 

[cricman]

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Dravid. Knew he'd have a good tour.

 

[nsniks]

Brilliant innings by Dravid
