you think monty will still be in when gilo is back?
A peach of a delivery from Monty.
Hmm I guess it will be lead of 60-70.
Poor stuff by batsman today, still I reckon if Kumble and Harbhjan get inot their stride we can dismiss you around 150.

is this monty better than giles by looks of it?
Monty's the best spinner on show.
Gilo and Monty...
Bowl together in perfect harmony...

looks like it at the moment, seems to get a lot more spin.
but i think giles will still be in the squads, but gradually panesar will edge him out.
only 2 days left...we will need to score quick if we wanna win this one, not sure theyll be enough time to bowl them out again

Even if you do 230-250 is a big ask on a 5th day deck.

On a day five pitch?
marktruman2006 said:
we need a better innings from strauss and pietersen
Shit...so near yet so far
It will take a 10 for performance from Kumble to win this one.

Did you lot beat Pakistan in India or was it a draw?
Monty bowling his spitting cobra's on a minefield aswell...Nate said:
I warned you lot about monty… 
It’s gonna be a draw, shame.

I think your right - it's gonna take an inspired bowling performance and some v.quick runs in the second innings. Having said...you wouldn't put it past England after what's happened in the past 12 months.Rams said:I warned you lot about monty…

Indeed you did. You're becoming quite a sage of the game.
Draw.Spoony said:
Nice to see all of you already beginning to overrate Monty. Looks a decent bowler.. like Ashley giles. Doesnt look like someone who can run through a team, a wicket here and there.
As for the match.. the pattern is pretty amazing. Both the English and the Indian batting efforts, worked out almost in an identical manner, with good starts, middle order collapses and the tail wagging. England have the advantage because we have to chase, although all 3 results are still a possibility.

Yes. Nothing to do with the 70 run lead.
And Monty made your spinners look like park players.
And everyone made Harmison look like shit.Slabber said:

You're a moron.
Monty > Fat Tendulkar
Tendulkar is gay though, only Indians could worship a fat midget.
You're an idiot.Slabber said:
How does Gilo feel watching Monty?
Great effort from the lad - I like his temperament. Still pretty early to get excited about a young kid bowling in ideal spin conditions...looking forward to a great finish.

Actually Maradona's pretty popular elsewhere too.Nate said:

You think the match is level except for the fact that India have to bat last, even though you're 70 behind with one wicket left.
You can't see the wood for the trees.
It's kinda funny - Panesar looks more Indian than most of the Indians put together!
Lara > Tendulkar
I didnt say that was the only reason but yup i believe its the main reason England have the upper hand. A 60 odd run lead is all well and good, but if we were 60 runs behind going into bat, with England batting last, IMO we would be favourates.Slabber said:
70 run lead is massive on a deteriorating wicket...
We will win this one, wait and see
amolbhatia100 said:
Monty's the best spinner I've ever seen. Better than Warne, Saqlain, Murali, Qadir and Bedi.
Not as good as me though...Spoony said:
The reason im saying this is because Kumble and Harbhajan bowling on the final day on Indian pitches are almost unplayable. Not taking credit away from the English bowlers.. Hoggard was very good in particular. But this pitch isnt as bad as the batsman are making it look.. i fear the English batsman will really pile on the runs tomorrow.Sultan said:
