***Official*** India in England

[R_D]

At least 450's up now.....

Runs are coming pretty easily now, and that scorecard has a very solid look, as it did at Trent Bridge.

Unless England can finish this off in the next half hour the series has gone I think.

My pointless comment of the day:

Thus far, all the Indian batsmen have reached double figues.

 

[gettingbetter]

Also, Kumble knows how to hold a bat. And even if he didn't, India aren't in a position to really care* about who faces the strike.

* = different situation.

 

[R_D]

Dhoni stepping it up now....... looks like 500 is a possibilty now.

 

[silentstriker]

Good innings here from Dhoni. Don't like him giving Kumble so much strike, but I'll live with it if he keeps scoring like that.

 

[silentstriker]

My god, that's about as ugly as a cricket shot gets.

 

[Majin]

Some great entertainment today, shame VVS couldn't carry on with his innings and gutted about Sachin again, but Dhoni lighting the stadium up now, when he's not smashing boundaries he's playing comedy hook shots

 

[Majin]

I wonder why Bumble refers to everyone else by their name but calls Dhoni "M.S Dhoni"

 

[R_D]

never seen anyone play any more weird shots than Dhoni before.......... he plays some ugly shots but watching him bat is quite entertaining even if it just for comical value of his shots somtimes.

Respect

Pietersen to bowl now.

Dhoni has asked for a new bat.

 

[Majin]

Haha, Dhoni is going berserk now, loving it. Let's hope he can get to three figures

Edit: bugger

 

[sideshowtim]

I can see what Vaughan is doing in bowling Pietersen, but against slow bowlers, Dhoni is in paradise. I don't think Pietersen is going to have the desired affect, rather, the opposite.

 

[sideshowtim]

Lol. Seconds after posting that, Pietersen gets a wicket. Must eat my own words now.

 

[andmark]

What an innings by Dhoni!

 

[R_D]

ah well..... Well played Dhoni.. i was sure he was going to get a 50 here.... he did very well.
Good innings......

 

[silentstriker]

I suppose its fruitless to critisize his inevitable brain freeze. You just hope that it comes a bit later in the innings like this time.

Good knock by him.

 

[Turbinator]

LOL man great stuff from Dhoni. He's just too good for his own good. He could've settled down and made a hundred but nah he sees the ball so well and feels as if he can put away every ball for six. What an entertainer.

Hopefully the rest can now get us through to tea at least.
