Interestingly, Dhoni looked more comfortable than anyone else today against the SA pace attack. Such a cheap dismissal.

Likewise, Kumble got two for 31 in the practice match, and what happens? He's sitting out, while Tendulkar and Mongia bowl at least ten overs too many.
Combined figures of 13-1-49-1 - hardly think they were the problem somehow...

Damn I still can't decide whether I should watch the Ashes or not. 32 dollars isn't too bad, but I'm afraid the series will be too one-sided.
OMG 32, why so expensive!

I mean I have rogers digital cable and have ordered CBN for like 5 bucks and they give me the whole Ashes series AND mostly all the other series (including India in SA)! And I still don't wanna watch it... It's gonna be boring/one sided this year for sure. If England put up a fight, I am ready to give each cricket web member 100 bucks!

India are playing some pretty crap cricket to be honest. Tendulkar played below par, and the only good batter looked to be Dravid before he got out. Kallis, what can you say.
Dravid looked tentative. Tendulkar was the only one that did anything, and even he was very tentative.

So, I was overreacting after the practice game, was I? I was being too pessimistic, was I? I was too harsh on our team, was I?

Bleh, I'm depressed so I don't even feel like gloating. This is worse than even I would have thought.

We're ****. We're complete and utter crap. We wouldn't know class batting, bowling or fielding if it bit us in the ass (which it did). I am thoroughly disgusted, I had pegged them to lose, and perhaps even be dominated but what the **** was this? Domination is too lenient a word for what happened.

I mean Tendulkar wasn't even that good and he was the best one around. Top scores of 34, 14, and 18 with no one else reaching double figures. Jesus, I can't even imagine what the test series is going to be like.

In the US, we don't get widespread illegal cricket telecasts at low rates. That's the best thing about Canada.
SS is paying more than I am. :p

Yes, you were overreacting after the practice game. We got absolutely raped today, but you were still overreacting.

Jesus, don't remind me. I can't believe I paid the money, some of which goes into the BCCI coffers, when they put that product out on the field.

Jaffer was horrendous. Raina and Mongia were clueless. Kaif got owned, then settled down, then got owned again by Pollock. Tendulkar looked committed to graft against the Saffie pace attack until he was outdone by a gem of a delivery from Nel. Dravid looked quite tentative and was also outdone by a cracker of a delivery from Langeveldt. Dhoni actually looked sharp until failing to get his bat out of the way and he got owned too.

Bhajji just got owned on all cylinders and still tried to trash talk.

Aren't you excited about watching the Ashes though?

Right now, I want to puke. Just curl up, and die. Forget the players, I'm embarrassed to be a fan of such a spineless side.But I guess Ashes will now be a welcome respite. First I wasn't sure which to focus on more, but now I'm 100% sure which series I'll devote most of my time too.
