Cricket:India's tour of England 2011

I wonder if we'll get to the 5th day this time. Would be a great accomplishment.
 
Is this the worst attack to tour England in years? Can't think of any in recent years aside from when Bangladesh initially toured here in 2005.
 
Was it Sri Lanka who came over last year who batted well but were dreadful in bowling?

No that was Bangladesh, even they threatened England a bit more - took all of the matches to the last day.

As for the nightwatchmen, it would have been Morgan who would have requested it. Anderson won't hang around tomorrow even against this Indian attack.
 
Temtping to start a 'lets all laugh at India' thread.

Christ you lot are shite.
 
I'd love it if Anderson takes the chance to do a Gillespie! Can't bat any worse than Morgan did in the last test, and if he got a ton anyone can.
 
Surely it would be a better idea to send Ravi out rather than Jimmy.

It's what I would do anyway.


If Bopara failed again, say he had got out tonight, his England career would be pretty much over. Better for him to come in tomorrow morning & hit a confident 50 than risk getting out cheaply at the end of the day's play or first thing in the morning.

Dunno, as much as we are well stocked in bowling, I don't see too much depth in the batting. Not many young batsmen knocking for the test team.
 
I haven't had internet for a few days.. so instead f pointing out every day we're shit, I will do it only once

we're fecking shit
 
He's actually a nice batsman to watch... I think my doubts are influenced by the fact that he looks like a frightened rodent

500 up. They might as well go mental now, Swann's our no. 11 and what are the chances of India getting 600 in two innings?

Spot on, we need to swing away and just try and get as many runs as possible now, declare after Lunch or something.

Also, Shreesanth obviously has decided he wants to fight the England side. Has anyone told him he's very small and will be savagely beaten? He needs this information.
