Conditions no where near as helpful as on the first day but England have a stronger bowling attack than India.
Cricket:India's tour of England 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Well for a start you've got a spinner who can spin the fecking ball.
India have always had a spastic seam attack.
Well our seam attack is much better than what we used to have 10 years ago. Make of that what you will
Just read this stat. Bizarre!
We'll draw it comfortably enough, IMO. But it's all we can aim at doing all series if they keep making team selections like this. Our bowling's bad enough as it is without us choosing to make it worse by not picking the 4 best bowlers.
You're full of excuses Zing
Hope England win this test and go on to do the series just to see what you come up with.
Are you an idiot?
No, but you are making yourself look like one with the rubbish you keep on spouting.
Crack on anyway.
Now now calm down calm down now
Lets just watch Dravid bat. He's like the Giggs of cricket. What a cracking player.

He isn't belittling the English here, so what's the problem?
Big wicket. Can England bundle them out now.
Another one bites the dust.,
Dravid needs to hog the strike
Anderson to Kumar, FOUR, haha, oh dear. Kumar wonders what all the fuss is about. Stand still, eases his hands through the ball and sends it over mid-off for four. Simple
Kumar 
Oh pls let Dravid get his hundred
Dravid is by far our best test player.
If only others apart from him and VVS would bother turning up at matches.
Just hoping the 2 remaining idiots survive long enough for Dravid to get to his century.

What a shot! 
2 away.
2 away.
Another great innings by Dravid
Century! What an innings.
Dravid has always done well in England from what I remember.
Sorry just very disappointed with the way the rest have batted today.
Everybody is but a very knee-jerkish statement to say.
286 all out then. England should win this match from here. Thank god for Dravid.
Not surprising that Dravid is the only one to stay unbeaten to the end.
England should look to make about 200 in 50ish overs in this second innings. Especially with India's one man attack hamstrung.
Good to see Dravid get his century at Lord's.
England are going all out to make runs quicker in here. onus is on the bowlers now.

Good for England to bat out what was an awkward little session, should be able to kick on and set India 450ish from four sessions
What's the weather like?
What's the weather like?
I'm getting worried now
I still think we'll draw it.
I don't see how we are going to survive for four sessions. England already with a 200 run lead will most likely declare between lunch and tea, maximum they will bat till tea. If we draw it from here, then we are really good and lucky.
Shame we don't have Sehwag. He'd have made Strauss think 10 times before declaring.
He just talks alot of biased nonsense at times.
I am sure if England win the series and become the best test side, Zing will say "congratulations BUT...."
No, I wouldn't. Please stop making shit up.
England's approach will be interesting. If they play the 2nd innings at the same pace as the first, the game will get away from them. Will Strauss, Cook and Trott play like they're not used to and attack?
So, is anybody still under the illusion that England are shit?
England in a great position. They really need to make us bat 4 sessions though.
