England In India - October 2011/12

[jacobfelix]

Hopefully now rains will come .....so that all the dailies can carry the following headlines in tomorrow's newspapers -

RAIN & RAINA THWART ENGLAND'S BID FOR VICTORY

 

[Sureshot]

Got to say Swann has been the least threatening bowler to the Indian batters, despite the fact he's bowled well. Unlucky.

As expected the Indian batsmen have played him really well.

43 overs to get 5 wickets. Massive session.

Just the one doubt, does the maximum 7:00 pm rule come into play today to debar England from bowling their entire quota of 98 overs, or is it just bad light that can prevent that from happening?

They'll play till 7 (or before if the overs are bowled (which is end of 125th over in the innings), won't be any bad light tonight. Nice day in London.

 

[Haarithan]

Ohh! Asked that cos I heard one or two commentators muttering that India have to play those 'x' remaining overs regardless of the time at the Lord's clock.

Dhoni's such an awesome sportsman when it comes to batting and walking off. #Respect

 

[tarun87]

now all depends on raina

----------

[ZoraxDoom]

Oh that looks out for all money.

Raina so lucky.

 

[SaiSrini]

Lucky O lucky Raina!!!! Harbhajan dropped, Raina not given out... Come on guys, draw this~!

 

[angryangy]

now all depends on raina

or maybe billy

 

[Sureshot]

That's a shocking decision from Bowden, wasn't even borderline. Just plumb. Wow, so Bowden thought he hit it. Get the nurse to wash out your ears mate!

Terrible drop from Morgan. He's not enthralling me in Tests.

 

[tarun87]

or maybe billy

and morgan to

 

[Haarithan]

Well I can but clap for Billy! And I can but curse the BCCI too.

 

[6ry4nj]

Yeah give those umpires an award! In Bowden's case, the obligatory retirement gold watch, a pair of specs, and a hearing aid.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

This. Is. Depressing.

Can we please drop Harbhajan now.

 

[shravi]

I have no words to describe how mad I am at Harbhajan. What the fearsome tweak was he doing!? Can't bat, can't bowl.

 

[Haarithan]

Not sure about Harbhajan, but Billy definitely needs to call it quits...

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I'm usually a defender of harbhajan, he bowls better than a lot of people give him credit for.

but he's a mental midget. he needs wickets to put any sort of venom into his bowling and he's batting like a pillock when his team need to survive 33 more overs. at 31 and nearly 100 tests under his belt what's his excuse?

PK might be nothing special but at least what I've seen of him suggests he has some motzy about him.
