England In India - October 2011/12

Actually it's looking good for India as the pitch looks eased up a bit for batting after the tea.

The pitch hasn't eased up. It's just pathetic cricket. Swann and Broad are playing their shots, India have set up defensive fields, the bowlers have panicked and aren't bowling normal line and length. The bowlers have gotten rattled WWAAYYYY too easily. Dhoni's gone defensive way too quickly; but he had to, given the tripe being bowled. Just pathetic cricket.

See, now that ball, wasn't bad. Good shot by Broad. Ishant should keep it around there. But he won't. He'll panic and drop it short or bowl it straighter.

FFS.

Bring Yuvraj or Raina.

You're in for such a shock.

I wish we had Sehvag now. If Broad / Swann can play shots all around the park, why not Sehvag? Yuvi, Raina and Sachin must be happy to such stature of the pitch at this moment.

Don't know whether should I be happy or sad???

4 men in the deep.
Why are international captains always so stupid? Why does stupid stuff like this keep happening? Aren't they supposed to be smart at international level?

Why are they getting rattled so easily? They're getting singles every tweaking ball.

Keep the field up. Bowl a normal line and length. What on Earth are you doing.

 

[SaiSrini]

Its not eased up and all. Just bad bowling, positive and aggressive batting and defensive field settings a little too soon.

Again short from Ishant! All the good work of the 2nd session has disappeared in thin air. This HURTS!!!

You're in for such a shock.

West Indies are world champions, the numbers just dont match because they are forced to not play their full strength team because the ICC/BCCI, etc have arm twisted them into not playing a full strength team and become champions. Ok? Move on!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

It's so tweaking stupid.
Why why why why why.

How can you defend such awful cricket.

Why are you getting rattled by a few shots. You are experienced International cricketers. Surely you've been hit for fours before? I've seen you bowl, I know you have.

Why are you giving them singles? When has that ever been a good idea to break a partnership? Would you feel under pressure if you were batting with fields like this? Think for ****s sake.

Why why why why. Why is this so pathetic.

I wish NOTW was still around. If they broke a match/spot fixing scandal with the Indian team after this match, or this series, I wouldn't be surprised. At all. There is no excuse for such pathetic cricket at International level. Ever. Especially with the sort of consistency such situations occur.

 

[deepuparayil]

WOW, that was some ball Praveen bowled.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

And now Swann's out. Damage done. Well played.

Banana swing?

Why do you let people do this to you? Can't you stop acting like an idiot for once and not be troll bait? Geez. If you don't like a post, ignore it, stop acting like he called your mum a fat whore.

Finally Swann is OUT, This was the best wicket of all.
Extra bounce from PK...
