India v England 2008

[karnog]

Looks a balanced contest- what a great time for test cricket. I can't think of an exciting twenty20 that resembles the past few test matches (maybe that India-Pakistan tied game and the bowl out that resulted...).

The difference between Kevin Pietersen and the second best batsman in England isn't to different to the difference between Sir Donald Bradman and the second best batsman of all-time.

IMO, If Dravid scores a century, the match will end in a draw because he uses half of the match's balls to hit it!

Seems like it would be a lot easier to pick England's second best than the all-time second best.

Lol Pietersen is head and shoulders above the rest but without the grafters like Collingwood, Strauss and Cook this team could never win games. Pietersen is flamboyant but as Dravid proves you don't need that to be a great player. To make it simple for you Pietersen equals Hayden and the other batters= Langer.

Shame about the two late wickets. Might have been able to get near India's total otherwise. Thought Dhoni was way too negative though.

What an interesting couple of sessions of cricket. Amazing batting from KP and Freddie, my heart sank with those two late wickets though. England's chances look to be gone now, a real shame as it was building to another fantastic spectacle.

You've gotta love England. They dominate the days play and then hand it right back to India in the last 10 overs. But ah well, the Aussies couldn't even defend 414 so we aren't the only bad ones.

With Krejza in team, even 1000 is not defendable

Lol don't lose heart. Jimmy will post a maiden century with Monty scoring a KP like 50. :

Prior has a good chance now. A hundred is very much need from him with Anderson and Monty just staying with him. Broad can bat and he needs to a slightly more aggressive role than the other 2 tail enders.

Well let's not worry about Krejza Avroneel, especially when you're team have got perfectly capable spinners in Harbhajan and Mishra.

 

[angryangy]

lol to Anderson, what is the point of a nightwatchman if you're going to rotate strike?

 

[manee]

Evo, your hero really had a massive brain failure there taking the single to put Flintoff on strike - do you think he thought he was at seven on merit?

Australia is his team :

 

[evertonfan]

Nah it's India.

Anderson can do what he wants. He is no mere mortal and the fact that none of you are bowing down to him should really count as treason and you should all be shot. Clearly getting Flintoff out was all part of his grand scheme. Well done James.
