England Lions in India

[freddiw]

typical monty....is he still touring NZ im confused???

 

[Animator!]

He isn't in the ODI squad but he is in the Test squad. He is currently in India because we're playing the ODI's against NZ first.

Smart move by the ECB to send Monty to get some vital match practice in the four day game against some strong opposition.

does anyone know wht rashid didnt bowl today ?

 

[.Mob]

If only they played the South, we'd run through them.

(not if we play like we did recently).

 

[Animator!]

Rashid probably didn't bowl because he didn't get a chance. They nipped out the oppo quickly and only really the seamers with the newish ball and Monty got a chance.

Am I the only one who thinks that Carberry is much under-rated? He seems to have scored lots of runs in the last 2 years or so.

He is great in ICC3, scored 200 with him.

We won by 30 runs! We were bowled out for 114, Trott top scoring with 34. We then bowled them out for 230, Shreck taking 4 wickets, Kirby 3, Plunkett 2 and Rashid 1.

Bulletin/Scorecard from games

Firstly I can't believe they said 'Lions roaring'.

Central Zone 238/7 against England. Richardson and Onions taking 2 wickets, Kirby, Panesar and Rashid 1 wicket each. Seems like a decent day for us, although the match not progressing too quickly.

 

[King Pietersen]

Rashid definetly has better figures than Monty, Monty's been far more expensive, Rashid looks a good talent. Hopefully Denly and Carberry will get some big runs tommorow !!

 

[manee]

Monty's been far more expensive,

2.72 an over can never be classed as expensive, imo.

 

[RoboRocks]

At least Rashid bowled a much better today and got rid of a good batsmen in Mohammed Kaif when he was well set. He kept it very tight at 1.7 runs an over as well.

 

[Chimp132]

is there any websites where we can watch highlights of the match ? i know sky sports are showing about 2hrs worth on tuesday of day 3 before the eng v nz twenty20 starts, but thats hardly anything

 

[RoboRocks]

The Lions are in big trouble at 110/6 with Rashid that last recognized batsmen.

Manee was right, Pankaj Singh has landed!

The Lions look like they will concede a big first innings lead.

143/8 now with adil rashid unbeaten on 33,looks like a good all round prospect.
