***Official*** India in England 2014

[GIMH]

All out day one IMO. All out at tea is just greedy

I agree but it seems a consensus that we should have done better here today. I'd probably have taken this at the start, even if we don't get the tenth tonight (shall revise that if something obscene happens in the morning)

For a score below 220. Getting a side all out while giving away too many runs like today is just an okay outcome imo.

I thought you can't watch the game?

Is a fair point actually. Australia got England all out on day one in the most infamous example of an insertion of recent times but it was for 407

Yeah I can't hence it 'seems a consensus'

Just listening to TMS for the close

Sanjay Manjrekar is hilarious: "Mohammad Shami is not the one to go after. Get Ishant Sharma out." - when Jimmy is bowling

I won't consider the decision 'good' as the bowling plans they had for the pitch were not good enough.

Um, he's saying that's what Cook is doing.

Would be epic if ishant makes a 50 along with Shami

 

[Spark]

........why has the field spread for Shami

Yeah tbf on this deck, India have done well to get above 150.

Yeah, you're right. Cook is hilarious !

 

[OverratedSanity]

So, this was quite possibly Cook's worst captaincy display yet over one day , right?

 

[Daemon]

Did we seriously just get almost 300 in a day on this track?

 

[harsh.ag]

Yay! Nice day. Rahane, Bhuvi and Pujara, such stars on this difficult pitch

 

[Damo833]

Some of the worst bowling I've ever seen from England in recent times

 

[indiaholic]

Such a good day! Really happy with the score at the end of the day. We may lose comfortably even now, but this is more than what I expected.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Safe to say that putting them in has failed.

Not seen much of the day but Rahane played well what I saw. Top effort to get a ton today.

India on top.

 

[Cevno]

India did well to get where they did today on this pitch.

Cannot get a gauge where the match stands at this stage though. All depends how much the pitch has eased out. Could be bit of a too big to lose toss as well.
