***Official*** India in England 2014

So Anderson averages less than 30 and Broad averages 30.05. Can they both be under 30 at the end of the series?

They've both been going above and below 30 intermittently for several years now

Dhoni has 7 fifties without getting a hundred.. Hmm that is way more fifties than what I expected.

Just the man you want when you have one of the most destructive new ball pairs in the world bowling like gods with a 6 over old ball: MS Dhoni.

Had to dig this up.

**** yea he is.

 

[Stapel]

So, Anderson & Broad took 9 our-of-form and/or tailender's wickets, whereas Jordan got the wicket of the only proper in form batsman Indai brought to England .

End of day predictions?

England 130-0 imo

Wouldn't surprise me if Cook makes batting look easy in the last session!

Can they keep it under 30 for once though?

 

[91Jmay]

Superb bowling performance. Didn't let them off the hook when the new ball did its damage, and despite batting till number 9 rolling them for 150 superb. Couple of wickets down at close and we will be in a strong position.

Time for Pankaj Singh to shine.

I'm pretty sure both their career averages have not been below 30, for the past 5 years or longer.

Edit: anyone bored enough to properly sort this out?

As a pair maybe not but Jimmys went under after Trent Bridge last Ashes.

I remember it happening against WI a few years back. It's happened a few times.

Can't help feeling Ishwar Pandey would be a far better bet on this pitch than Varun or Shami. Fair, Pandey will be on debut, but Aaron has a reputation of not playing all games in tournaments in which he figures. Apart from spraying it around at times.

 

[eroticfishcake]

Varun to blow england away

Stuart Broad I love you!

 

[grecian]

Stuart Broad I love you!

I think he was just annoyed because, for once, he wasn't the most hated bowler by the oppo fans, so he stepped it up.

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't think it's unfair to say Broad was actually second best today.

 

[King Pietersen]

Awesome from Broadeh. What a performance!

Robson's gonna be lucky to last an over on here. Just set up for him to knick off.

 

[OverratedSanity]

We're going to get smashed. Playing Cook into form in the last match was an awful turn of events.

 

[Howe_zat]

Cook, on 6, has just outscored 8 of the Indian team

 

[Howe_zat]

This is a pretty sharp opening pair for India

Edit: that's kinda unfair. It's a pretty sharp opening pair

Nah you were right the first time
