Cricket:India's tour of England 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date
Incredible how much swing and bounce the English bowlers can extract versus the Indian bowlers.
13-2
Anyone see the movement on that ball caught by Strauss?
Bloody hell.
Bloody hell.
Dravid and Tendulkar really need to man up now and put together a big partnership.
These two are looking good.
Bresnan had Tendulkar all over the show that last over, but a class batsman like that isn't easy to get out.
Well that went well 
Tendulkar gone!
68-3 It's looking interesting now, get Dravid out and I think they will have to follow on.
93-4! That was close.
The bloke Raina was there for yonks and didn't score a run. India 498 runs behind, not looking good.

I think we should just rename our test side Rahul Dravid.
They might not make 200 at this point, 98-5.
It's been awful from the rest of them, really awful. Just pray that it rains.
I'm completely beyond caring tbh.
The commentators love laying into RP Singh, don't they?..
Well he isn't exactly the most threatening bowler, now is he?
Well, what is it now, over 90 overs without a wicket?
Never said he was.. and I'm talking about Indian commentary, not Sky's..
Yea. Our selectors have been on a string of cock-ups..
Feel a bit sorry for RP Singh, should not be playing given the only cricket he has played recently is the IPL.
He was vacationing in Miami when he got the call apparently..
Last first class game he played was in January, when he took 2 wickets.. his domestic record is very poor.. feck knows what the selectors were thinking
29 ball duck, tied the Indian record for futility(according to cricinfo, alongside Irfan Pathan).
India's tour summed up in a sentence
England look very strong, I even fancy our chances on the sub continent because we'll get runs and the England bowlers can swing the kookaburra ball as well.
More importantly we have a spinner who is actually a threat.
It's a naming system which vary according to region which are generally influenced by religion and caste. "kar" is generally a suffix used in the state of Maharashtra. All the cricketers you name are from Mumbai which is in the state of Maharashtra.
That's a terrible decision. Could have called up Irfan in any case.
SG ball in the sub-continent, not kookaburra.
England's best chance would be dropping Morgan for Bresnan and playing 5 bowlers. The 4 bowlers I would choose would be Shahzad, Broad, Swann, Panesar.
Not as strong as the team in English conditions obviously(shorter top order, longer tail), but I think that'd give England the best chance.
Morgan is one of the best players of spin in world cricket but in the sub continent you probably need 5 bowlers because of the heat. Should be ineteresting to see how England line up in Sri Lanka in the winter. Our record there is abysmal but it will be a good indication how we'll cope against India later in the year.
I reckon you'll do better in India than Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan pitches are more spin friendly than ours, and they've better spinners than us right now.
I know he's got the reverse sweep but he was completely rubbish against spin in the IPL and kept getting out
Don't want to worry anyone, but its raining where I am & I'm not that far from the Oval...
Finally, Dhoni gone. Is your man with a headache going to bat?
Dhoni gone...
They say it's gone to the North, do you live to the North? Last thing needed now is more rain.
No, the tail end are batting. Should wrap this up pretty quickly now.
When Shreesanth comes in, watch how Anderson will want desperately to bowl at him regardless of the state of the ball. Tasty little battle in which Anderson will surely bodyline him.
Good knock from Dravid.
Great from Dravid, he doesn't deserve the shambles around him...
Amazingly enough, his 3rd century this Series...
