Lets hope at least this time Rahul Dravid gets some runs.It has been very bad phase for him which has continued for almost a year now.He is a class player no doubt,he has scored runs almost that of Ponting,he gave up the captaincy because he said he wanted to concentrate on his batting,what happend?He scored with better avg when he was captain.lets hope he gets runs here vs England.

KP wins the toss and bats.

T20 ka JADOO PRINCE UV is officially back. :

What a surprise, Cook gets to 50 and gets himself out. Awful shot as well.

 

[Amiya]

A very sad dissmisal for Cook. He was well settled and give his by a poor shot.

 

[nikhil_99]

Mishra and Harbhajan both are not that effective here,normally Harbhajan is very effective at home soil,he got 1 wicket but Eng is in strong position.

 

[King Pietersen]

I hate Gavaskars commentary, he just tries to say too much and ends up just waffling.

England in a good position, Strauss playing very nicely, be good for his confidence if he gets a Ton. We need 450 minimum here, looks a flat deck, not much movement at all. Hopefully Monty will get some turn and bounce, if he bowls well we've got a chance.

Didn't Collingwood get a 100 in the last Test he played?

 

[aussie_ben91]

You knew when he was coming. The outgoing batsman would already have disappeared into the pavilion, and the expectation of what was to follow filled the air.

Here comes Kevin Pietersen.

 

[Animator!]

Good platform built by the openers. Let's hope we don't fall victim to our typical collapse. Bell needs to score, Shah's pushed him too hard for too long now and he could well be on the brink. Colly needs to get a dig as well, show everyone whether he's still got it or whether he needs to go out of the side and prove himself in domestic cricket (Just like Harmy). Strauss has at least started the series well, one that could really have put him to close to being totally out of the set up.

 

[sohum]

KP looked out to that Yuvi delivery. In fact, Yuvi has looked more threatening than both our full-time spinners!

 

[King Pietersen]

Nice work Belly. Really justified his selection with that innings. Shah should have played.

Also, Strauss > Hayden.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Wow, if Strauss gets a 100 here it'll be his first 100 against a proper Test nation in about 3 years.

england have a good chance of winning this match being the 1st test. india is not good in its first match into a test series.
