Vijay batting quite nicely.

 

[Electron]

Good shot Pujara :4

 

[cricket geek]

:4. by Pujara

 

[Wattoo]

India could not have a 50+ opening partnership in AWAY tests since 2011.

 

[cricket geek]

Vijay hit another boundary of Anderson.

 

[lilFlip]

Vijay is looking good here

 

[Adil_94]

Vijay looking very good here dont get why he gets a lot of hate by Indian fans

 

[Sandeep]

The question should be on Anderson. Without clouds, he can't get our hack Vijay

 

[The "D"]

Very good decision to drop Ashwin. Every series he plays ahead of jadeja over seas and loses his spot to jadeja in the last test

Not to forget jadeja picked up a 5fer in South Africa

Vijay > Sehwag-wannabe Dhawan

Why do you call him a hack he looks like a good solid batsman. IIRC he did well in SA too. Maybe as a Pakistani im impressed with any opener that survives the opening 10 overs :Farhat

 

[Batman_DB]

anderson 7 overs 40 runs 1 wicket thats a high economy rate his average isn't coming down under 30 anytime soon

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 up for india

 

[Adil_94]

Jimmy trundling on flat deck standard procedure for him.

 

[Batman_DB]

[Electron]

He looks solid and very good on eye, alright. But you never know when he's going to give it away.. Always been his problem

 

[Sandeep]

Whattay shot! :4

 

[nish_mate]

Am going to Trent bridge on Sunday- hope the game holds on for that long!!!

Else I stalk the Indian team and Mujahid them!!!!!!!

 

[Electron]

This looks like a glorified Indian attack.

 

[jusarrived]

Vijay looking very good here dont get why he gets a lot of hate by Indian fans

Cos hes from Chennai , any other reason is a lie

 

[nish_mate]

Cos hes from Chennai , any other reason is a lie

No he had a technique once, then IPL ruined it....man was decent in Aus tour of India in 2010 i think? but more of IPL got him playing loosely....needs to tighten up

 

[cricket geek]

vijay mainly dealing in boundaries .

 

[jusarrived]

Dhawans technique is loose , Vijay can loose his concentration ...even in SA and NZ he played out iniitial 20+ overs . The point is , he dosent deserve the hate for small improvements he needs in his game .

I guess his case is like that of Ravindra Jadeja before he found success and jokes subsided. But to say that he gets hate is a bit of stretch.

 

[Varun]

Good to see Vijay race ahead to 40 already!

 

[Varun]

Cos hes from Chennai , any other reason is a lie

So are Raina, Ashwin, but they don't get the hate.

Yeah so am not hating him mate....wrt Dhawan- still dont think he belongs at test level- whilst thing with Vijay is- he does belong at top level....hes more a test player who got ruined playing too much LOI/IPL etc


You point about Chennai is gibberish to be honest, take that chip off the shoulder mate.....

 

[Aman]

Only the first session, but if conditions hold up, I expect the match the to finish as a draw provided England's noobs contribute.

 

[samplepiece]

You must be a gifted clairvoyant to predict a draw after barely an hour's of play.

 

[Varun]

Shot, Pujara!

 

[Adil_94]

He looks solid and very good on eye, alright. But you never know when he's going to give it away.. Always been his problem

Thats more of a mental issue than a technical one. Technically he looks very good

 

[Aman]

Yes, read again

Both team's have poor bowling line ups and decent/strong batting line ups, I expect them both to score big.

 

[Varun]

Ooh...almost knocked the stumps over.

 

[samplepiece]

Read what?

 

[Aman]

if conditions hold up

Sweet shot!

 

[style_guru]

So who is Engerland's frontline spinner here?

 

[samplepiece]

That "if conditions hold up part" wasnt there when I posted.

 

[samplepiece]

Moeen Ali

 

[Kiri]

Solid start from India here. Pacies should have bowled full and at 5th stump outside off.

 

[Aman]

Very smart.

Leather hunt for fielders. This match is going to be a draw...

 

[The "D"]

50 partnership between pujara and vijay 87/1 India

So are Raina, Ashwin, but they don't get the hate.

you really think so ?

 

[Aman]

Cooky could find some form here, triple in the offing.

Still think if there's going to be a result, it will be in India's favor if they score big in the first and put pressure on England's noobs.

Tell me if you are you going to edit this post?

Fifty for Mr. CSK. If he survives next 10 deliveries, he should score big.

 

[Sandeep]

No mate.. gut feeling. But then, if it turns in the 4th innings, you never know with England..

you dont hate , then I wasnt responding to you .

I was editing before I even read your comment I don't care if you believe me or not.

 

[Sandeep]

So, this is the spinner England is playing!?? What rubbish

Yep, Indian bowlers are his only hope. Just like your Macca found form against us...

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Hope VJ gets out in 2nd session , want to watch Pujara and Kohli batting

 

[Sandeep]

Kiwi, why are you in a hurry? Editing all posts of yours..

 

[samplepiece]

I think its way too premature to make a call. In England, a spell of cloudy skies can swing the match rather quickly.

 

[Sandeep]

Spoken like a true Indian fan

Mate, but Kohli doesn't deserve that statement.. There is only one who does..

 

[nish_mate]

Hope you get a slap from the heavens above for that selfish comment.....

 

[Sandeep]

Too easy... England badly missing Swann!

 

[Aman]

It was a general comment, but knowing the posters here I knew I had to elaborate.

 

[samplepiece]

Vijay is quite a watchable bloke when he gets going. I wont mind if Kohli is made to wait long to bat.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

LOL always wished for the fall of 2nd wicket on IND test matches during weekends/ when we were in a good position so that i can watch SACHIN Purai aadat

 

[cricket geek]

100 for India .

 

[style_guru]

So India go past 100 for 1.

During their last series at this stage, they were already minus their main strike bowler & bowling with 2.5 bowlers on the field.

 

[Robert]

This is what I'm thinking.

The main problem for England these days is the new drainage systems at the test grounds. They suck all the juice out and turn the wickets into shirt-fronts. Our seam/swing bowlers are no good on these.

Is it Murray mints o time yet?

Broad has this knack of breaking partnerships. Let's see how he goes about

Double teapot time......

 

[cricket geek]

over rate is quite good from England .

 

[Sandeep]

over rate is quite good from England .

Surprisingly yes.. considering they bowled only 2 overs of spin

 

[style_guru]

India should look to bat for first two days or possibly till lunch on day 3 & make the English bowlers bowl to dust. It might help them in coming matches.

As far as this match is concerned, it looks like a draw most probably unless of course someone bowls out of his skin.

 

[Sandeep]

So now I understand how those Lankans piled on all those runs

 

[OZGOD]

Indian look like they are up to score 500

 

[Adil_94]

English commies keep moaning about this pitch now they know how SC pacers feel like
