India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[manee]

Colloingwood is looking good here, I think the match rests in his hands.

yeap thats his 3rd six of sachin.. big hits those..

this is the problem with only 4 frontline bowlers.

I think take off Sachin now and look to go for the jugular with Zaheer Khan back on.

 

[Eddie]

with 45 over being the overs total..each bowler can only bowl 9 overs..

zaheer has bowled 8....so 1 left

so i think they are saving him for the "death bowling"

 

[sohum]

how well can chawla and the spinners grip a wet ball>? at 18yrs old i doubt he bowled in these condition much before..

He has actually played a LOT of cricket in the junior levels and it looks like they tour around a lot.

England disintegrating here. If we lose it, we should forfeit the remaining 2 games due to lack of ballsiness.

Off topic, but Ravi Shastri a Chelsea fan

 

[Eddie]

well colly won't lie down and die..

you'll have to put a stake thru his heart..

nice fielding there agit !

 

[manee]

Agarkar just cost India an easy victory here, yet another who can't field.

 

[Eddie]

you should be safe unless Colly makes 150 off 100 balls..

Duckworth lewis has cost us..

we need 95 off 65 balls

without D/L we would have needed 108 off 90

which is 7rpo compared with 9 rpo..

We should be but if Anderson/Monty were in now, bookies would start paying out. That being said, bookies paid out on the twins winning Big Brother.

i still think without Duckworth lewis being applied we'd have a good chance of winning

they took off 5 overs..but only 13 runs off the target..

i am sure englnad would prefer to chase 13 more runs and have those xtra 5 overs !

He is actually a pretty decent fielder and a good pair of hands. But everyone makes a mistake once in a while (I actually didn't see the dropped chance).

Duckworth-Lewis always seems to prefer one team over the other, at least in matches that I have watched, and recently. It's the best method we have, though.

Yes, must be a mistake, cricinfo assured us he is normally safe in the outfield. However, the effort for the catch assured many of the contrary, he overran it then it slipped through his hands which were over his head.

Lewis is out now, 240-8 and India have effectively secured their second win of the series.

Seems to always favour the team who set the score, but that is just my opinion.

Dhoni picking up 6 dismissals and in effect becoming the first Indian keeper to achieve that feat.

 

[Eddie]

yea totally agree..

can u imagine D/L in the last game..114-7..i bet india would have won on D/L method..

i hope this doesn't end the match..colly has a good chance of a century..
