England in India

[ZoraxDoom]

Agarkar will stay in the ODI squad, simply because he is more of a 'complete' player - Decent, tight bowler, handy batter, good fielder, experienced.
But I feel too that his time in tests are up. But he will stay an assest for India in ODIs uptil -and maybe after- 2007.

No rain only heat.

Dry heat to make matters worse.
England would need to take in a lot of fluids to avid any more casualties.

I expect Strauss to make a big one tomorrow.
I also expect this series to be a lot better than th Indo-Pak test series.
The injuries have brought down the pre-match hype though.

Terribly bad luck! Damn!

spinners will relish bowling from day 3 onwards....

india shuld win the toss and bat first.....

I expect this series to be lop sided in India's favor though I expect england to provide some fight in the Mohali test

Who the hell is paying $170 for such cricket matches?

I think interest for cricket in the US is getting up! They need to reduce the costs. Its getting tougher for people here to watch cricket because of such high costs!

 

[Skater]

He will be back to captain England in May at Lord's against Sri Lanka.

 

[ZexyZahid]

$170 for watching cricket is way too much. I hope it will be an exciting start tomorrow. From Indian side there are three spinners expected to be in the team.

will Sachin shine in this series??????????????????
becos,
Every time he walks into bat he carries the hopes of a billion people who look to him as the sole provider of hope in a nation surrounded by gloom, despair and corruption and a nation so incredibly starved of heroes. Sachin is the darling of the masses not just in India but the world over.

hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! Sachin will hve a good series!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[newzolt]

now this piece of information is really optimistic!
news:"England coach Duncan Fletcher challenged his young players to prove their mettle. "There are a few good opportunities for individuals, you never know what things can do to players," he said.

Despite the setbacks, Fletcher said morale was high. "Speak to the boys and they all want to beat India in India. We'd not beaten Australia for some time, but we managed to turn that around last summer. We believe we can do it here," he said."

 

[SaiSrini]

I think it has been some time since England has beat India in a test series.. In 2002, India won the series in India and India drew the series in England (they came seriously close to winning it with the final Oval test but couldnt).

So England must be waiting to beat India as they havent done that for quite some time!!

will Sachin shine in this series??????????????????

I feel he will have a decent series with the bat! If he has a good one, then its always fantastic! But my minimum expectation is for him to have a decent series (score a few 50's with a hundred either at Nagpur or Mohali)...

$170 for watching cricket is way too much. I hope it will be an exciting start tomorrow. From Indian side there are three spinners expected to be in the team.

Definitely! $170 is way too much for watching a cricket series.

Anyways, planning to subscribe for the $10 audio commentary through Cricinfo! I just dont like to just follow the match through Cricinfo's live scorecard! Its boring!

[vibs89]

[vhl71]

[sohum]

Cricinfo revamped their scorecard. I think I will go in for the Cricinfo audio deal, too. If enough people don't buy Willow.TV, they will understand that the price is too high.
