England v India | 1st Investec Test | July 9-13, 2014 | Nottingham

[Mr Consistent]

rohit and ghambir should play next match

 

[saiyan0312]

THEY MADE 496!!!!! Yaar what kind of rubbish bowling is that. Unbelievable.

 

[Varun]

There is simply NO Indian perspective at all on the Sky Stream. Sad.

 

[Varun]

THEY MADE 496!!!!! Yaar what kind of rubbish bowling is that. Unbelievable.

Told you we'd conjure up a draw somehow.

 

[saiyan0312]

Told you we'd conjure up a draw somehow.

I am literally speechless. All hail your prediction nastrodamus

 

[Sandeep]

rohit and ghambir should play next match

Probably it's going to swing at Lord's, Binny may be persisted.. But I still can't trust Gambhir over Dhawan.. The latter can atleast make hundreds occasionally but Gambhir will surely fail

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

THEY MADE 496!!!!! Yaar what kind of rubbish bowling is that. Unbelievable.

We are the best.

We are the best.

We are the best.

 

[Sandeep]

Mate, why talk about Nostradamus?! These are Indian bowlers. Even a kid wearing diapers can predict about this bunch

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

There is simply NO Indian perspective at all on the Sky Stream. Sad.

Really?

Here in Star Sports its pretty balanced.

They were even talking about how Plunkett can become effective.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

There is simply NO Indian perspective at all on the Sky Stream. Sad.

What are they talking about now?

 

[Varun]

What are they talking about now?

How awesome Ben Stokes is.

He's hardly done anything in this match.

 

[saiyan0312]

Mate, why talk about Nostradamus?! These are Indian bowlers. Even a kid wearing diapers can predict about this bunch

having them 8 down with an over 200 lead and still go into batting with a deficit is shocking to say the least.

 

[saiyan0312]

having them 8 down with an over 200 lead and still go into batting with a deficit is shocking to say the least.

The match is drawn unless india bats fast and the indian bowlers learn to remove the tail.

 

[Sandeep]

There is simply NO Indian perspective at all on the Sky Stream. Sad.

Ganguly and Dravid do come occasionally.. But yeah, basically no Indian perspective

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How awesome Ben Stokes is.

He's hardly done anything in this match.

WHAT?

Crazy. Its no fun when you aren't balanced.

It gets tiring after a while even if you support the team as those of the commies.

 

[pakistani pride]

We are the best.

We are the best.

We are the best.

All jokes aside the wickets in ENG have been shocking.
The ENG public deserves better. They really come out in large numbers.

This test will be a draw and we all knew that...
LORDS will be an other road !

 

[Sandeep]

WHAT?

Crazy. Its no fun when you aren't balanced.

It gets tiring after a while even if you support the team as those of the commies.

I always felt that when Ravi Shastri was commentating. But India's next gen commies like Ganguly and Dravid are pretty balanced..

 

[Mr Consistent]

Probably it's going to swing at Lord's, Binny may be persisted.. But I still can't trust Gambhir over Dhawan.. The latter can atleast make hundreds occasionally but Gambhir will surely fail

nah yaar Ghambir still better then dhawan

 

[Mr Consistent]

nothing left in this match but 100 from Kohli and Pujara will make me happy

 

[Buffet]

The match is drawn unless india bats fast and the indian bowlers learn to remove the tail.

You really think that both bowing units are going to take another 19 wickets? Not gonna happen.

 

[saiyan0312]

You really think that both bowing units are going to take another 19 wickets? Not gonna happen.

Actually india just have to bat fast,declare and take ten wickets. I know its a long shot but it can happen.

 

[Buffet]

Actually india just have to bat fast,declare and take ten wickets. I know its a long shot but it can happen.

Very little time left for that. Indians are not going to give Eng some low target to chase. Wicket is flat and low targets can be chased.

 

[Justcrazy]

India lead 53 runs here so far.

 

[Sandeep]

English trundlers.. good to see

 

[Justcrazy]

Vijay looking in good touch again.

 

[Buffet]

English trundlers.. good to see

Well, only SA and Aus have bowlers to do some damage on flat wickets. Sometime even they will struggle.

 

[Sandeep]

Classic insult by Bhogle..

Nasser: How did India fare in football WC?

Bhogle: If you're going to get knocked out in the first round, you might as well not go.

Made my day )

 

[leatherface58]

Lol is that Stuart Binny or Stuart Broad? Trundlers galore.

 

[Justcrazy]

England need to prepare bowler friendly pitches , to get result.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a batting paradise, specially without cloud cover.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

So the first test is a boring draw

Okay so no white wash

 

[Jabo]

Draw incoming... reason why Test cricket is fading with these rubbish pitches

 

[Sandeep]

It's so good to watch clouderson bowl.. I just hope he keeps on bowling until stumps tomorrow

 

[saiyan0312]

vijay is batting very slowly. It seems india is going for a full fledged draw.

 

[Energetic]

This test match was mainly about money. Batting road and then you're pretty much guaranteed a 5 day game involving India. People need to wake up. Runs and runs is killing test Cricket. Tomorrows the last day of this test match would you know and just over half the wickets in this match has fallen.

 

[Sandeep]

vijay is batting very slowly. It seems india is going for a full fledged draw.

England is bowling well.. Do you want our batsmen to go at 6 rpo at the risk of getting all out?

 

[Justcrazy]

would be licking his lips , for his turn.

 

[Buffet]

So the first test is a boring draw

Okay so no white wash

Not if India collapses here and give Eng something like 220 to chase.

 

[saiyan0312]

indian bowling maybe bad but england bowling is no star either. This test was a battle of tail enders batting.

 

[Energetic]

England need to prepare bowler friendly pitches , to get result.

England care more about the money than winning.

 

[Justcrazy]

vijay is batting very slowly. It seems india is going for a full fledged draw.

Why should they not ? Do not Indian bowlers want to toil here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Frankly if it was pakistan i would also have them play the same way. The match is gone and you need to know your limits to avoid defeat. India is just not strong enough to pull australiaesque win at the moment. Might as well bat it out and give them one session to bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is not great . Also indian batting is pretty solid.

 

[saiyan0312]

Why should they not ? Do not Indian bowlers want to toil here.

Like i said india has decided to go for a draw. I didnt say it was a wrong move. Its the only move they can make. The best they can do is bat till the evening session and give them one session unless they have a low score then bat it out.

 

[Sandeep]

Why give them 1 session of respite. 5 match series. Just grind them down

 

[saiyan0312]

The pitch is not great . Also indian batting is pretty solid.

Murali vijay dhoni and tail made big scores., Root and gallance and tail helped them cover it. Tail enders played a vital role in this test for both sides.

 

[saiyan0312]

Why give them 1 session of respite. 5 match series. Just grind them down

If you have 250 or 300 on board at that time then take a chance and try to pull off a miracle in 30 overs.

 

[Sandeep]

If you have 250 or 300 on board at that time then take a chance and try to pull off a miracle in 30 overs.

Aha, you want us to risk a test with "Indian bowlers" on our side? No thanks

 

[Justcrazy]

Drinks.

A draw written all over this game.

 

[saiyan0312]

Aha, you want us to risk a test with "Indian bowlers" on our side? No thanks

Risks win matches. #australiaphilosphy

you really think indian bowlers will give away 300 runs in 30 overs.

 

[Sandeep]

Risks win matches. #australiaphilosphy

Hey, our bowlers have no limits.

And why Australia in every comment? Give us a Johnson and even we'll act all cool..

 

[Justcrazy]

These kind of test where even after five Days no result is possible is killing test matches , why should people bother to watch .?

 

[Justcrazy]

Hey, our bowlers have no limits.

And why Australia in every comment? Give us a Johnson and even we'll act all cool..

That would be impossible , 300 in 30 overs.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

These kind of test where even after five Days no result is possible is killing test matches , why should people bother to watch .?

Ask ECB

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty runs partnership.

 

[saiyan0312]

Hey, our bowlers have no limits.

And why Australia in every comment? Give us a Johnson and even we'll act all cool..

Bcz the australian philosophy especially in 2000 was to never give up and that is why they never give up even if it results in loses sometimes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ask ECB

Not only ECB, most pitches are like this , too many batting records. This is bad for the game, there should be a balance between ball and bat.

 

[saiyan0312]

That would be impossible , 300 in 30 overs.

This. I know indian bowlers are bad but they are not that bad.

 

[saiyan0312]

Waisay we were expecting a good competition with some fine swing. The flat tracks really put a bad taste. Jimmy made 81. I mean not putting it down but he was the number 11.

 

[Justcrazy]

ICC needs to bring in balance between bat and ball in all three formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

This. I know indian bowlers are bad but they are not that bad.

When going for such a chase You loose couple of wickets , teams will pull shutter down , no harm in trying . It will not produce result , but will spice things up.

 

[Silly Point]

Well, only SA and Aus have bowlers to do some damage on flat wickets. Sometime even they will struggle.

Ever heard of this country called Pakistan. I've heard they've created legendary bowlers who play all their lives on dead tracks. We saw what Steyn and Philander did in UAE.

 

[Adil_94]

Hahah top banter

 

[GreenKnightRises]

) What the... Even Anderson made a 50+ !!!

Yeah india rather then batting it all should try to get some overs to bowl in. If they see that there are 30 or 20 overs left then they should have a crack. Who knows you may de-moralize your opponent with quick wickets especially Cooks who is going ina terrible form. Getting him out twice may dent him psychologically.

 

[Sandeep]

Stop watching this match and give this video clip a try:

Amazing banter between Saurav and Dravid..

 

[saiyan0312]

for vijay. this will give him confidence going in the next test.

 

[Sandeep]

Murali Vijay's average inching towards 40..

 

[Sandeep]

50 for Che.. Hopefully one of the many more to come on this tour

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pad those stats brothers. Rack uo centuries and double hundreds.

 

[Adil_94]

Moeen :Ajmal

 

[Sandeep]

Vijay gone.. Over to Kohli.. Score some runs mate..

 

[Sandeep]

So England have to rely on the poor Moeen for wickets.. Good pitch brothers

 

[saiyan0312]

Kinda threw it away there. Cmon kohli. Lets see some batting man.

 

[Sandeep]

Wow.. life in the match suddenly! Nice..

 

[saiyan0312]

another one game. Team hattrick anyone. finally some life in this flat nightmare.

 

[saiyan0312]

couple of wickets more and india may be seeing a loss then a draw.

 

[RexRex]

Just 6 overs remaining now.Dangerous few minutes ahead...

 

[Adil_94]

Pujara missed out on this pitcb

 

[Smbhayi]

India just need to bat tomorrow whole day... Don't need to try force a win.. Lets exhaust them...
