India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[pal]

I have great faith in the Indian batsmen. I expect Tendulkar to complete a magnificent century and India to ease home in style.

 

[Eddie]

always a problem selecting bolwers of medium pace for odi's , cos once decent batsmen get set they can hit them anywhere they like..

maybe give wright a few overs, he can't go for much more than the others.

Well, hope so. That would be a perfect end to this match for us. But seeing the way Panesar is turning the ball, its not going to be that easy.

Ganguly made 1.000 ODI runs in this year. Great achievement, especially if you think that some people thought his career was over.

 

[Eddie]

pretty ironic that once india picked an extra batsman in their team, he hasn't been needed to bat..

to be honest soo many runs are coming off the mediun pacers that u could block maidens off monty .

Yep looks that way.
England don't have enough wicket takers.
England have failed to defend over 300 once and they may fail again.

having seen the spin i'd be tempted to give KP a bowl..cos he gives it a rip..

how do u get cramp after only 20 overs ?

i mean he's hardly had to run, cos of all the boundaries..

Well, KP has to have a big bowl here. Seeing the way these batsmen are batting against the medium pacers, he is needed.

This is the Sachin that the world loves - aggressive and taking the attack to the bowlers. Is he trying out his old tactic in this series? Because this is the second time that he is batting like this in this series. And has been almost 100% successful in this tactic. Hope he continues this style of batting. If he does, then bowlers round the world, BEWARE!

He's quite old for a cricketer. If he can bat like this, he can get cramps for life. lolz

 

[Eddie]

finally...a break through.

 

[SaiSrini]

Job done on your part, DADA! Another good useful innings.

Want to see the day you get a well deserved hundred in ODI's. Now Sachin should not let his intensity down. When with Saurav, he is different.

 

[Eddie]

england need to use this break through to get the run rate back up..

if he's got cramp in the hamstrings he got problems..

i suffer from cramp in my hamstrings and u literally can't stand... and it hurts like crazy..

will be funny if he needs a runner, cos it will have to be ganguly..and he's the worst runner in the team

OUT !

no century for sachin again..

big wkt game on

The curse of the 90s strikes again.

 

[Eddie]

you should still manage it from here though

The curse of the 90s strikes again.

It was mainly the cramps which got its toll.
I felt that he could have retired and come in at a later stage of the game.
That would have meant that the dressing room feels more confident and also the fact that he could`ve come in at a later stage re-energized.

I tend to agree, cramping from such an innings suggests they are not managing his fitness very well.
