***Official*** India in England

God that's embarassing. Dravid continuing to show why he's a poor captain as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Woodster]

Surely even Agarkar wouldn't have gone for 5 sixes in the last over!!!!

 

[alternative]

**** me dead, that was atrocious. God i don't even want to watch the rest of the game.

 

[Jono]

Four bowlers for India would not be a bad option if they four they picked were reliable in the roles they were given. When one of them is Agarkar and two of them are spinners (and hence have limited situations in which they can bowl), four bowlers simply isn't enough. It's not like Gambhir and Uthappa offer so much with the bat that they demand selection ahead of a fifth bowler, either.

But with only 6 batsman, it doesn't allow the batsman up the order to have the freedom to go for it early.

7 batsman is the right move. Its just unfortunate Agarkar is ****.

Of course not.














He'd have gone for at least six.

 

[silentstriker]

Didn't understand that move from Dravid. Fair play to Mascaranes.

 

[Scaly piscine]

He's talking about the side at full strength. Hence, Flintoff and Bopara.

That's the thing, there's those two plus Trescothick if he's ever right again, plus there's now Wright doing well in his first game.

In the past Shah would have been a regular but these days I think he's just not quite good enough. Obviously like now there'll be occasions when there's a run of injuries and he'll come in.

 

[TheGreatAusie]

lol... very disheartening to watch as an Indian supporter...

Agarkar once again proves how useless he is. I think I'm gonna turn the telly off if India aren't 60+ for zero after 10 overs.

 

[The_Bunny]

Haha Mascarenhas in 20/20 mode

 

[Athlai]

AA or Powar would surely have been better options, Yurjav hadnt been bowling well today so why give him the death?

Like Lara, for someone that is such a smart cricketer, Dravid has some stupid moves as captain. Really disappointing.

 

[SJS]

Powar has a series economyrate of 4.5 yet with an over left from him MrDravid does not trust him with the last over and Yuvraj is hit for 30 runs of last five deliveries !!

71 runs in last five overs, which include an over from Zaheer for 7, and yet India forgets its most economical bowler of the series.

Nah, don't be a **** cricket fan.

 

[TheEpic]

Wow.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah, don't be a **** cricket fan.

Haha, scathing.

 

[SJS]

180 runs in the last 20 overs and we think we can do with four bowlers. Bah !

Trescothick

A run of injuries and you mention Flintoff's name?

In the past...Shah was picked when he shouldn't of.

 

[Johnners]

hahahaha, Masceranhas, quality stuff

 

[Scaly piscine]

To be fair Yuvraj's penultimate over didn't exactly get smashed, he gave three wides away but the batsmen didn't connect with him that well.

I'm sure it's a lot easier in hindsight to choose who to bowl the last over...

 

[Disgorge]

Bowling two part timers at the end is dodgy to say the least. Hmmmm.
