England In India - October 2011/12

[Haarithan]

This is either an England win or a draw. I am pretty sure England aren't looking at a declaration any soon. They would want to bat till tea tomorrow and leave India with 4 sessions to bat (if they leave India a session more to bat, they could risk a lower target and the possibility of maybe India thinking of a chase).

And you'd think this England lower order would survive 68 more overs! Imagine the target in that case.

550+? Not impossible seeing the way Prior and Bresnan are batting, and how poorly India are bowling now

I hope... Just hope... England don't overdo their celebrations by winning this match.....just my opinion.

You think this is another Sydney-gate?

On the funny side of things, I found this one epic! No offence intended whatsoever.

Too late. Saw it few days earlier. Yeah, funny though.

India do appear to have given up.
364 and climbing the lead.

After play presumably the fishermen will go off for a net

Like it.

200 runs off 35 overs this session...

He he.. That was a good one. Frankly, I am getting irritated everytime these commentators talk about Sachin's "100th hundred" whenever they talk about India's upcoming batting innings. I mean the likes of Dravid are batting so hard and doing so well, why do these guys keep focusing on that 100th hundred? It will come sometime dude. Its a major distraction.

Well no-one would have predicted 441/6 at the close. It was 24/1 this morning. That means there have been 417 runs scored.

Either the pitch is totally hopeless are all Indian bowlers are hopeless. Looks like the pitch. Wonder what would be a safe target for England/

 

[Haarithan]

Take a bow England! 417-5 for the day, champion stuff! And I've said this on numerous occasions, Dhoni is one of thee world's greatest sportsman for the game.

Well, England have now won 3 sessions on the trot, is it enough to win this test match as someone said earlier?

Lol, No. Just want this match to play in true spirits. I mean India did very well in calling back bell, why not England return some favour by not overdoing their celebration after winning this match. Just an opinion.

Haha, yea, sure, that was the problem.


India got beaten down there. Deflated quickly once Bell and KP got into their stride, and apart from brief bursts, never looked threatening. It was a poor performance.

Thanks Colin, was struggling on that one.
