England In India - October 2011/12

[RoboRocks]

It'll be interesting to see if PK can still extract some swing and if Zak can get some reverse. Bhajji and Ishant need to step up now, they'll be needed to provide breakthroughs with the older ball. It'll be interesting to see how and when MSD uses Raina too.

The outfield is too lush for reverse swing. The pitch generally doesn't spin either, so it should favor the batsmen as the game goes on.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Fair enough.

Need a good spell from Ishant or two.

Zaheer gets his bunny

 

[Haarithan]

Sigh, such a shameless way to get out. That is one of his favorite shots tbh.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Zak gets him once again. End of his resistance. 62 for 2 and thats awesom

 

[SaiSrini]

That wont do us any harm TBH. So Zaheer gets his bunny again!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

OOOUUUTTT! Wow. What a way to go. Zak's done it. Amazing

 

[tarun87]

2 wickets for zaheer and he take both left handers good bowling

Strauss goes to Zaheer Khan but not how you might expect. 62-2 is decent in these conditions, pushing for 250+.

In comes the player who is most overrated by Indians of them all, Kevin Pietersen.

These Indians sound like a bunch of monkeys when they go up for an appeal!

 

[SaiSrini]

Zaheer didnt start off the day well, but he has clicked as far as the wickets go.

Careful how you use that word around Indians mate...

Does he always bowl that slowly at the start of an innings? Kumar and he must be one of the slowest opening pairs going..

It's a shame that Strauss went to that shot because that is usually his bread-and-butter pull shot. Zaheer Khan has indeed bowled well and has impressive figures thus far.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

9-5-9-2. He has't actually bowled that well. Amazing player, amazing brain. His experience and knowledge got his those two wickets.

 

[lewissaffin]

Ah, ok, apologies there. Thought it was slightly risky, though justifiable..

Obviously there was no racial context or slur meant there.
