*Official* First Test at Lord's

[Flem274*]

btw where are all the good indian posters like Teja, Shri, and Blaze 18?

Asleep? Eating Biscuits? Shaving?

They'll be around I'm sure.

 

[GIMH]

Why wasn't Ban Announcements updated for GS?

I'll be next. Enjoy the series everyone.

Shaving doesn't apply to Teja.

 

[smash84]

...must be where all the "good" Pakistani posters are...

so they are here

Shaving doesn't apply to Teja.

not even shaving the legs

It's a shame to see Got_Spin banned so early into the tour. I really like reading about 90% of his posts, hopefully it's not a long ban.

Can't wait for tommorow!

 

[GIMH]

Should only be 7 days as it's for getting 15 points

Not too bad then.

What's the weather looking like at the moment? Hopefully all the days of rain were used up in the Sri Lanka series.

Odds spiralling upwards on a result.

Cricketbetlive are paying 6.2 on India.

I'm tempted to jump on that, those are nonsense odds.

$6 is just daft though.

It's gone back in to 5.5 now. Who jumped on it?

Looking pretty showery I'm afraid.

I'm up north but the weather has been atrocious since Sunday. Still grey out now but hasn't been raining today, at least not since I've been awake.

Which is probably perfect weather for us to win the toss and bowl in.

Looks a bit showery on Thursday I agree, but shower activity should reduce on Friday and the rest of the Test should be dry. Cool and with fairly stubborn clouds though, so win the toss, bowl, win the game methinks.

Meanwhile, "Most innocuous statement of the week" goes to the Guardian:

NO

The "arguably" just makes it, though. Really throwing all your chips in there, son.

haha......interesting to see Sania Mirza speak about Sachin

he;s a demi god in india. i wonder how he deals with all the crazy fan following.

 

[GIMH]

I dunno but his runs should count double because of all that pressure

World Cup Final in Mumbai seemed liked fate as well.

people forget that he has an awful record at lords so i wouldn't bet on him getting there even this time.
hasn't even got a single 50 in what 7 innings or something
