Cricket:India's tour of England 2011

TMS were saying England are hopeful that Jonathan Trott will be able to play a part in their second innings.
 
Just when you think one team is getting on top in this game, it all turns around.
 
This is why I'm still unsure of Morgan as a test cricketer. Don't think he has the technique or temperament to play a swinging/new ball.

A bit like Yuvraj.
 
I bet BCCI will apply the UDRS System after this match. They're a bit slow.
 
Trott clearly looks uneasy. I'm guessing his role is to eat up as many balls as possible so that Broad, Swann and Bresnan don't have to face the new ball.
 
Shame Tremlett isn't fit - he'd have been a real handful with this uneven bounce.
 
I think the bowlers are as flat as the pitch. I'd back England to defend anything above 260, but certainly above 300 makes us favourites.

If India can get through the new ball unscathed they will have a great chance. The wicket is pretty flat once the shine is off the ball.

It depends what total we set them. 300 is a tough chase whatever the conditions in the fourth innings. 350+ puts England as firm favourites.
 
Absolutely scandalous how many runs have India conceded at third man.
 
Have you decided who you're supporting yet, or are you still hedging your bets?


My heart is with India - mind says England.

If India were playing Lancashire my heart would be with my County.

Basically I'm confused.

What if United, Lancashire, England and India were playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. United and England on one team, India and Lancashire on the other?
 
The last five batsmen of England have scored around 400 runs while the Indian five has scored less than 100. Staggering difference.
 
This test match has been an exercise by Indian team on how to throw away any advantage at any stage of the match. Tremendous stuff.

I'd support the Hippos.
