England In India - October 2011/12

[ZoraxDoom]

First runs. Nice shot. Not so good from Bhajji.

----------

Cook playing PK very well, but PK keeping an exceptional line. Not getting carried away with the swing, getting the ball to sail past corridor quite consistently. Nice to watch.

 

[Aussie Team]

Ready steady from England

 

[ZoraxDoom]

hahaha mind games. Zak bangs it in, Strauss inside edges the hook straight into the pitch, Zak glares.

The notorious MRF blip makes its appearance !!!

Strauss opens his score

Its pretty funny the way Atherton and Hussain were talking about the bowling, pretty harsh calling them dibbly dobblers but it is pretty slow..

 

[SaiSrini]

Lord's is beautiful, more so on my hi-def TV

Praveen has looked more threatening than Zaheer so far. Maybe time for Dhoni to experiment with Ishant in place of Zaheer?

What problem England have faced is slow starts. Although this is a test playing at 3 to 3.50 is good enough. They start with 2,2.25 rpo till 30 to 40 overs

 

[SaiSrini]

Praveen is swinging it mad. Great decision to select him for this tour, and in the XI for this match. Great that we gave him test match exposure just before this tour.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Can't believe Unadkat got a Test match before PK.

----------

OOOOOHHH. If Ishant had hit!

----------

I agree with Nasser, PK looks more threatening from around the wicket.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Man, If and only if Strauss was out to that run out..

Zak has looked OK so far. He is trying too much IMO

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

strauss looks a bit shakey. given his form in the tour game is it just the pressure is beginning to get to him?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yea he has been poking at a few. Then again, he looked like that against Aus in the Ashes at various points. Did alright.

How is it a problem?

 

[SaiSrini]

How is it a problem?

Right. In these conditions, this is a very good start from England.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

And he is gone. Thats the end of Cooks resistance a big big wicket
