England In India - October 2011/12

[crazyrahul]

I am sure KP would have been out earlier, if we had Yuvi in this match. KP always struggles against left-arm spinners. Shits...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hahaha I even suggested Zak try some left arm spinners first couple of overs against KP. Might not get a wicket but will annoy him.

yep and india has a formidable batting lineup - in their conditions. there's the star few of course who you'd be an idiot not to respect because they've proven themselves everywhere. but 3 batsmen doesn't make a big total. one test out of five it might for sure.....maybe i havent seen enough of the rest. but i seriously doubt even the greats will dominate given seaming wickets with swing. aussie wickets are generally flat but bouncy, which good indian bastmen have been known to flourish in, as every great batsmen does. but there's something about overcast conditions in england where even the best get found out. and i dont think theres been a better bowler at englands disposal than anderson in the last 20 years...even a swining flintoff in 05. i'd hate to pump up a boy band guy and have him fail - but he's that good. and tremeltt is the bowler broad wishes he was. and swan is the best spinner in the world at home hands down. england's bowlers...minus broad...are the best combination going around in home conditions. the fact indian refused DRS is proof they are very worried...very worried.

just quietly, england are going to rip india a new one here. england are famously useless starters in series...they have already done enough here to say they will not lose a test here. KP back in touch - look out. england have a habit of making tough wickets look relatively easy, without taking any damage. india hasn't got the fire power in their bowling.

how fat is khan? wow i made that observation long before the pom commentary team wrote him off. their second best bowler is a medium pacer who is in the conditions of his life and still isnt penetrating.

so much respect for england after they smashed us in australia. anderson...well i thought he was wicked in england and thought he was a one trick pony. but that guy has come a long way. sure he is a skinny metrosexual twat who tires his best to look tough....but he's the most damaging bowler in the world in home conditions. he proved us all wrong in aus - he's brillliant in all conditions - if only he lost the boy band look before he tried to act tough - he would gain the other players respect.

the only weak link england have is broad...and hes always been the weak link. if they could only over look him, there would be england in first...and the second would be a long way back. hes not a batsman...unless he faces the cheating pakis. flynn, while wayward in the ashes - has 300% more talent than broad and shouldve been give more time. with the south african 3/4 who are as tough as nails....and bell finally realising his potential - there's no need to have a half bowler/ half batsman / mostly cr*p player like broad.

india were only ever going to be at the top for a series or two. they spend too much time on flat wickets making records and making rules to suit themselves. they are old and finished...dravid/laxman/sachin - legendary players, but there's nothing that's come in behind them to make their success last. their bowling attack is old, fat and also at the end of their time.

first time i'll ever go for england - but they have been on the cusp for 6 years. its only taken a south african in charge to stop them from being sucked into their ridiculous sporting culture of mediocre (read soccer team) and they do deserve it. they will smash india. and i dare say....even the weakest australian team in 25 years will smash this mob when they come down under later this year.

Now what the flick does fatness has to do with India dropping from number 1? Are you just showing here that you are retarded? For your information, India kicked Australia's @$$ in their last 5 series encounter in which India has won 4 series and lost 1. I wouldn't be talking if I was at this position. Also, I would rather have a fat bowler in my team who is taking wickets rather than having an emo doing useless bowling at 90 mph with tattoos all over his arms. Also, don't bring in this fat issue here just because you are dealing with that problem in your life. Only way to cope with that is to go to gym and run fat kid.

I saw the KP dismissal review again. Hmm. Nasser (I think it was) had a good point; the evidence for KP not being out wasn't conclusive. Why was the decision over turned?

Actually, Hotspot showed from the side after decision was overturned which suggested there were no edge. Snicko confirmed it later.

Your posts are looing to be even funnier and more stupid than the ones I read before or others. Why the flick are you talking about Australia here? Read the title of the thread, it says "Indian Tour of England, July-September 2011". Stop trying to prove your retardedness here because I got that from your very first post.

well fatness...but more so being unfit - explains khan's injury doesn't it.

australia have been cr*p for years - but haven't been smashed by anyone but england in australia. anyway...this is about england vs india, i just so happen to be australian and can lean on those examples. at this moment, both india and england are far better than australia. i'll give you that.

but im just saying india, like england...given a win...a solitary win....fall in to a comfort zone which doesn't let you win for ages. it rewards players for once off victories and they become complacent because they are loved at home. and i'd say the fact anyone in indian cricket could let their best bowler in khan turn into a fatty boom bah is a bad reflection of their system. i guess you can look at the size of the corrupt ICC memebers to know what i mean. money = food and dam, i love indian food so i dont blame them. sure warney was a fatty....but he only had to walk in 2 steps to bowl...and he is rooting liz hurley so ill forgive him.

Looks like we have an England supporting Sobi within our midst.

sobi - dont take things personally mate. sorry to upset you. i know its hard to watch your team get smashed!

But that's afterwards. At that moment, the decision shouldn't have been overturned.

Right result, wrong procedure.

He seems a bit more reasonable and level headed than Sobi IMO. I know it's not saying much...but yea.

I don't know what size you call fatness but the main point is, I don't care if a fat bowler is bowling for India and he is taking wickets and is the number 1 attacking bowler for the team. If he is good because he is fat then its fine with me.

pffffttt....sorry dude but I am laughing rather than being upset. I am just used to seeing my team whooping every team's @$$es since Dhoni took over the captaincy so its its actually fun to see them getting smashed after a while. Especially after seing India win over Australia in past 5 or 6 series against them when we only lost 1.

And so the flame war had begun...

And so the flame war had begun...

I like the ignore function. Want to place bets on how long it takes for Sobi to get banned?

 

[Aussie Team]

Nice to see Dravid keeping.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Oh, is Dravid still keeping? I thought it was MSD?

I'm all for MSD bowling some more.

That looked out to me...

Ooh. Nice decision.
