India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[Cricketman]

nice decision by the ump there
What an obvious edge. I think i'm going to go try out for umpiring anyways.
I did get over 95% of LBW's correct playing Cricinfo Office Umpire once

 

[Eddie]

that might have been our chance to to keep india under 300

To be honest, first time I saw that live, I didn't think he got an edge. It seemed obvious though after the replay. Must have been hard to hit up normal time. Maybe because of where it hit.

India started well, have slowed down a little though. With Dhoni to come who knows, India could post 300 easily.

yuvraj.. edges behind to panesar..

given not out

pretty thick edge that too

huge edge not given off panesar to yuvraj singh....

england must feel unlucky....

I'll be honest, in real time, it didn't look out at all, I think that explains the umpire's reaction. Prior must have heard and seen the edge that is why he went up but notice how late Monty appealed.

Massive mistake by the umpire though and Yuvi should capitalise on the chance.

lewis is making monty look like jonty rhodes..

 

[legspinner@fred]

Yet no big 'ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' from the English crowd when the replay was shown..if it happened to India that roar would be pretty loud!

 

[Eddie]

well now that not out starting to look costly..

not too worried just yet this pitch is flat as a pancake

 

[Cricketman]

And Yuvi cuts loose! A six and a four, two really big hits! :happy:

Ghambir joins the party! 242-2 after 41.1!! 8 wickets in hand, i'll go bold and say 12RPO from here with Dhoni KKD and Rahul to come.
Good little knock from Gautam here.
12x9 is 108 so about 350 is possible!
50 for ghambir. p'ship 94 off 88. great stuff.

and there he goes :\

 

[Eddie]

some news on Bopara..he's gone to hospital with a suspected dislocation/fracture of his right hand thumb..

not good news for england..so we're probly a batsman down..not to mention lewis replaced frddie.. so we're 2 down from last match..

284-4..3 overs left..

should not get more than 314-320

less than it looked liekthey might get at one point

 

[legspinner@fred]

Look at England SL last year at Headingly..your not safe with 400!

 

[Eddie]

hate D/L method..

probly see england needing more runs off less overs..

someome should really intoduce the english bowlers to "the yorker"..

this short session might have lost us the match..we're gonna concede about 50 runs off the last 3 overs at this rate..

 

[manee]

311/5 off 48.4, India should be looking for 320ish. Dinesh Karthik in now.

I think 320 is above par for this pitch (IMO, Par is 300), the ball is moving off the seam quite consistantly and England have suffered for bowling the wrong line and lengths, not that India won't do the same.

 

[evertonfan]

Par is about 350 for this i'd say. But 320 is more than enough to beat England. If the England team really has turned a corner then they'll make a good fist of this.

I find it is hard to bowl a yorker on a wet day.

 

[Eddie]

they are professional bowlers though!
