England In India - October 2011/12

[aus_maestro]

Geez, England are still prone to collapses. Really need to get another 100 from here to be safe imo.

 

[Haarithan]

Okay its not anymore about when England will declare, its all about when India bowl them out. Positives to note?? A result is guaranteed at Lord's!

 

[Gurjot95]

I take my words. This isn't a collapse, just a excellent bowling by Ishant.

 

[barmyarmy]

They're not getting out to poor shots just great bowling. Very impressive with a 3-man attack.
Lead is 260 so England still favourites for me. I think 350+ would secure it.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Just got back home. Awesome.

That is all.

This.

In other news, Sachin off the field and not in the hotel as he's feeling sick; apparently down with something viral.

Yeah got that news, I just hope he'd be fit to bat.

 

[Aussie Team]

It was great until the bowlers showed up.

 

[Gurjot95]

Yeah, and news is that Sachin was playing with running fever. So they are basically playing with injured side.

 

[Aalay]

This is how Champions fight back. Awesome stuff from Ishant.

 

[vickyrox]

Come On Ishant..!! Need to get them all out before 120..!!!

Sunil Gavaskar and his commentary on Day 3:

Other commentrator : If you have noted, the England slip fielders are standing very far from each other and thus they cover a larger area as compared to India.

Sunil Gavaskar: Yea, Yea! Maybe that's because India has not yet adjusted to the weather and they feel pretty cold and want to stay together for warmth.

?!

What the hell is Dhoni thinking here? Brings in Raina to bowl after lunch when we have them really under pressure! Ridiculous.

----------

Dhoni has missed the trick here. Why not get Sharma in to bowl straight away? He is bowling superbly. Why not get him in right away. Such a defensive captain. We had a chance to get right back into this test and not just save this and Dhoni with his defensive setup is ruining it. Harbhajan and PK in tandem. Such a waste of momentum.

Did you see Broad bowling in the first hour of the second session yesterday, despite the fact that he was easily the best bowler in the first session and seal England the 'momentum' going to lunch? Dhoni's probably going Strauss's way [defensive].

 

[AkshayS]

I never liked Dhoni as a captain and he has just shown it once again why. He is pathetic at times.

 

[aditya123]

Ridiculous tactics from Dhoni ruining the day for us.
