Cricket:India's tour of England 2011

English Batting lineup bats very deep though, still work to do.

Claimed a 1 pitch catch off Ian Bell. I think he did it as a laugh. Bell's reaction was awesome, just leaned back and gave an amused smile.

India been bowling superbly. Very impressive.

He has a weird sense of humour then. Even Dhoni wasn't impressed.

He doesn't need to do this crap either as he's a decent bowler.
 
Dravid drops Bell, could have been 7 out. Apart from that it's been near enough flawless stuff from us since lunch so far.
 
Some of those balls are pretty much unplayable. Not the conditions for batting. Good bowling though. Jimmy must be licking his lips if India bat today.
 
Zaheer Sree Ishant Bhaji

I like praveen kumar, but if we go in with 4 man attack that would be a very good line up in test matches! Hope bhaji picks his things up, or you might as well give praveen kumar the 4th spot and play yuvraj as your spinner.
 
We haven't bowled you out cheaply either, yet..

Long tail and we haven't been good at finishing sides off recently
 
This Bresnan is looking good.
 
Anderson may run through our lineup.. not our best lineup with Gambhir and Sehwag both out.

For now, need to get these 4 wickets.
 
Bell is leaving balls he should be nicking. Bastard.
 
Our line up is basically Dravid, Sachin and Laxamn. Others are liable to fall first ball onwards.
 
Still Broad and Swann to go who are both decent batsmen.
 
Great from the Indian bowlers but Anderson will enjoy these conditions.
 
never seen an Indian bowling attack hunt in packs.. usually it's Zaheer and 1 more.
 
At least India finally bothered to turn up, we might have a game on our hands.
 
This is pretty good. The conditions have been tough but even so 124 for 8 is very weak. I'd back our batting to better that for a small lead at the least.

Still need those last couple of wickets though. Someone said India haven't been very good at finishing off sides and thats perfectly true.

Saurav is a great addition to the studio team.

He's brilliant. Said that at the WC which was I think his television debut. Reckon he's the best pundit out there. Always has something interesting to say rather than the usual rhetoric experts usually repeat.

I liked how he pulled Harsha Bhogle's leg on his hair issues.
 
Another crucial toss to win, but this time the Indian bowlers have made full use of the conditions. Difficult to see anything but an India win now as I suspect batting will get much easier after day 1 or so (although Trent Bridge always gives the swing bowlers a chance). There were one or two soft dismissals but in general most wickets came from getting out balls. Fantastic bowling by India!

Good summary but England are not out of this at all. In fact I won't even say it is advantage India until we have batted well and gotten a lead of at least 150.

Not to mention we have a cronic habit of struggling to wipe out the lower order.

I reckon England will get 200.
