Cricket:India's tour of England 2011

Dravid's just announced his formal retirement from ODI's after this series.

His statement basically said "I never thought you lot would be so desperate as to pick me again so I didn't bother to tell you I was retiring."

All in a much nicer, more dignified way.
 
Oh god Zaheer :(

They can't fly in a replacement on such short notice surely? If they can i hope it would be RP singh or Irfan - with the ball swinging in these english conditions, they would be of very good use.
 
RP Singh called in as a replacement, anyone know how he has been doing in the Domestic Circuit?
 
So which day are India going to lose the 3rd test. I think they'll be resolute and lose by tea on the 5th this time.

Unlike your lot, we don't know beforehand when it's going to happen.
 
Looking forward to this, nice reprieve from the chav onslaught.
 
Think Mankund has been unlucky to not keep his place ahead of Raina.
 
You seriously gotta laugh at all this.
 
Thank god that Dumpstar made a fool out of himself in this thread. Atleast we can laugh at him.
 
Indian settling into the swing alittle.

Can't help but feel they'll be an outside edge soon.
 
This pitch has very little bounce.
 
It's got little for the pacers and England's bowling has been ordinary.

I hope there's something in it for the spinners. Swann's the superior spinner, but we've got better players of spin and England will be batting last.

At the moment, absolutely nothing happening.
 
What was Sehwag doing gesturing that it hit his armguard? He really doesn't understand technology, does he? During the WC, you got the feeling he'd review it if he got out bowled

Yes that really made me laugh. I was actually pretty sure that he had gloved it. He's a pretty crap reviewer too, remember his reviews at the SemiFinal and the Final.
 
Ganguly thrashing the Indian Selectors on TV, he is right as usual.
