The problem with dhoni's innings is, if he plays a proper innings, it tells you something about the quality of the pitch at that point. Usually when he makes runs, everyone makes runs.
India vs England
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
He's spread the field. lol..
zzzzzzz
That Sandeep Sharma from u-19 seems to be doing well.
WTF is Cook doing. I get that he's trying to be cautious. But this is a bit ridiculous.
This pitch is a disgrace. Some one ought to be sacked after this
um, anyone else got no picture on Sky Sports?
That's probably a much more interesting view that the cricket.
neither team is benefiting from this..
Chawla really needs to sort out his length, half of deliveries are too short
what a shit decision - that's twice in two innings for Cook.
Kumara 'Sham'-rasena...India won't care mind you.

Go on... get us another couple... Dharamsena...
Am impressed with ishant.
Another one
Though someone did take the catch so it does not matter if he is wrongly given LBW
Yea.
Trott's 4 off the dead ball was funny.
Crucial session this.
I don't know what I want, anyone else having the same problem?
I feel like a win would allow the BCCI to do their "Everything is fine, Indian cricket is in great condition" gimmick, a loss could be good for us long term..
but then I also want India to win..

Cmon man, a win here would be fantastic and WOULD prove we have a lot of potential and character in this team. You're kidding yourself if you think the BCCI will do what you want them to do if we lose.
You sound like one of those posters who hope we play badly when Giggs and Scholes are starting so SAF can drop them.
I don't think we are going to be able to take 8 more wickets in time anyway. And then score runs on this pitch.. This will probably be a draw.
Yeah, can't root against a win.
What would a win here prove?
It'd be a smash and grab. This hasn't been a pitch for skill, mostly it's been about patience. It doesn't change the fact that on turning wickets they've done us in and on seaming wickets away, they've done us in.
Doesn't matter anyway. I think we're going to draw. Their lower order is very strong.
Root, Prior and Swann(and Bresnan) will be tough to get past..

Who cares? If we actually win from this position it would be crazy.
See that Sehwag catch? I don't want a plonker like that in the team
fecking twat Sehwag..
He's been standing like that in the slips for 4 tests now...
Unbelievable..
That's defined Indian cricket over the last 18 months.

Didn't cost anything
Trott was out.
You'll hardly ever see Dhoni kick up a fuss. Anyway, evens things out with the Cook dodgy decision.

One professional cricketer I just hate watching - J Trott
What makes you think Trott was out?
Kohli being a smacked arse like usual.

Snicko confirmed He didn't hit it.
He thinks Trott was out because he hates Trott
He's mentioned it about 300 times by now.

Trott and Bell are playing well
This is good bowling and good batting.

Good bowling from Ishant, that is.
Chawla just can't control his line or length. Can't bowl in test cricket like this.

He's one guy that just loves batting *chuckles to self*
Is there an award for reverse fanboy of the year?
You got it, in fact I may just vote for you in any case
Game over, England nailed on for a superb series win.
Well batted Trott today.

Cook on the end of another shocker, no wonder the Indians don't want DRS!
Indian players don't look like sportsmen. Most of them are far too overweight, Chawla looks like a cannonball, small and round, and he's not the only one. Surely with the amount of cash in the Indian game...players ought to show more professionalism? Frankly I'm embarrassed to call the game a sport thesedays. Darts anyone?
You only have to be fit enough to play 20/20 nowadays.
