***Official*** India in England

Traitor IMO, get him hung.

Stupid decision by Dravid IMO. The outfield will still be very wet, and the ball will get soaking, and soft. Basically this will take Kumble out of the equation and there will be minimal swing at the most.

Vaughan would have chosen to bat first had he won the toss, anyway early wickets here and then it could all be awesome.

Yes finally game starting in 18 minutes. Rahul wins toss and puts England in. Go India, show them who's boss!!!

Seems quite ludicrous to me. Not only do India rely on their spinners for the majority of their victories, but the outfield is wet. Obviously bowling on a theoretically drier outfield later is going to be of an advantage, and overcast skies are predicted throughout anyway. I just don't get it.

Haha Turb.

And pretty rich of you to tell the Indian bowlers to show the English batsman who is boss with that avatar clearly saying you don't think much of them tbh. You've become an English fan now, no?

Dire turbs. I didn't expect this tbh.

Traitor IMO, get him hung.

All this doesn't affect me anymore .

 

[PhoenixFire]

We've hurt you inside, I can tell.

 

[Pratters]

Turbinator as an English fan.

As I said, dire.

Is it a defnsive gesture to protect his own batsmen, one wonders? If so he shouldn't - remember 2002 when India (bravely but correctly) chose to bat at cloudy Headingley?

Erm, I prefer having my news from authentic sources rather than sites which always get their news from other sites. Any how, I was emphasising on the fixed part in the headline.

Ideally I'd have had that in the headline, too, but there is a limit on characters, y'know.

That might not have ended-up being perceived as so brave had we bowled well.

Well Khan does some justice to it, super ball, but not the greatest shot ever.

Not a detail I care about.

Zaheer is a gun as he picks up Strauss.

 

[silentstriker]

Make him play the damn ball.

The important part, though, is the body, not the headline.

 

[silentstriker]

Bleh, doesn't mean you let him drive it.

He just did - through extra-cover, beautifully.

You don't even know why I mentioned the report.

Haha...

Whoosh!!
