England In India - October 2011/12

[aditya123]

Harbhajan is just continuing to bowl from one end without being changed. There is nothing in his bowling which looks like getting a wicket. Get one wicket bloody, you are supposed to be a frontline spinner! His bowling is getting on my nerves now.

The next thing that`ll come up in the media would be that he was unlucky and deserved to get wickets the way he bowled. GTFO!

 

[AkshayS]

Raina or Tendulkar can bowl better than him I suppose. There should be pacers from both ends.

50 partnership and I can say that England have saved themselves. They cannot loose. It will be either a draw or India winning

 

[Themer]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's broken his elbow there, I really wouldn't. Looked in agony.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

So Zak's injured, Sachin's sick, and now Gambhir's been hurt as well. Not to mention Bhajji's been awful all game.

Yay.

If Raina bowls as many overs as Harbhajan , he`ll pick up more wickets. Time we drop the so called great offspinner.

 

[Cricketman]

Poor Gauti! We are down to 8 players now. 3 of our most important players too - Zaheer our (only?) strike bowler, our opening batsman in Gambhir, and ofcourse Sachin is sick. Plus Sehwag isn't in the team.

Damned, I missed so much action especially when it was India's turn to entertain. Superb bowling by Ishant, would really like to watch all his wickets. But, now this Broad-Prior partnership is killing it for us. They're just going to attack now. I guess struggle of Indians hasn't ended yet. Though, they have managed to keep England at check today but this lead is building and getting big. India have to bat for their lives to save the match.

Well played Prior, easily the best wicket keeper batsman around in this format.

 

[SaiSrini]

If Gambhir cant bat, we are smoked. Sachin is down with fever (he will still come out to bat, the guy will do that but not sure how long he will survive) and if Gambhir cant bat, tough to see us draw the game. Already no Zaheer.

I just can't get why he is in the team. His attitude is the most pathetic one, even surpasses Yuvraj on this. Doesn't really have anything left in him except to keep bowling darts and getting hit most of the time. Seriously, we need to get over his 400 odd wickets! In recent times, he has just gone from bad to worse as a bowler.

The question is, do we get to see a legendary batsman in 'Murali Vijay' opening with Mukund for the second test., if Gambhir is ruled out?

I'd rather have Dravid opening the innings and bring in Yuvraj for Gambhir.

You have to bring him from Chennai. But lets wait to see how serious Gambhir's injury is. Or maybe Sehwag might unleash himself a little early in the 2nd test itself (since he is already part of the 17 man squad) and Mukund gets to partner Sehwag.

 

[Haarithan]

Wonderful second session for England, can't say I didn't see this partnership coming - they've been doing this comeback job so well over the last two years. I've said this earlier, and I'll say it again - Broad has got one of the finest batting techniques on his day.
