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

[Adil_94]

Cook has to deliver now Shami and BK should be boosted by that batting performance

 

[Gone]

Don't be surprised if Dhoni starts with Jadeja

I think he would, esp cause shami and bhuv had a long bat. Give them a bit of rest.

Maybe, give them 4 odd overs each then bring jaddu on. Comeback fresh tomorrow.

[Varun]

Kumar needs to bowl a good spell or two now.

 

[Varun]

Get rid of Cook if we can.

 

[Sandeep]

Bhuvi will enjoy bowling in England..

 

[Gone]

BK should be high on confidence....

SWING from BK, Cmon

 

[Sandeep]

Peaches up front

 

[Adil_94]

Some beauties by Kumar

 

[m.shah]

India in driver seat due to this partnership

 

[Gone]

Brilliant over from BK

 

[jaguarjack]

man.. how I wish BK was a couple of yards quicker

 

[Adil_94]

If BK was a bit quicker he could be a top top bowler

 

[Sandeep]

Benign Bhuvi... He could still pick up wickets. Don't write him off

 

[jeetu]

Cook's bad run continues.

 

[Jabo]

OUT!

KP probably pissing himself laughing

expect retirement ala Smith style during this series.

 

[jeetu]

Eng lost first wicket with 9 runs on board.

 

[Adil_94]

Cooks poor form continues

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cook should retire from cricket already. Hasn't done anything in two years.

 

[nish_mate]

This run machine was supposed to take great mans records lol.......

 

[Adil_94]

Cook is playing like Farhat atm

 

[Varun]

Cook is going through what Gambhir went through circa 2011 - present.

 

[Adil_94]

This run machine was supposed to take great mans records lol.......

Typical English hype machine

 

[desi_launda]

Cook : shami

 

[Adil_94]

Shami's pace looks down wasnt he hitting nearly 90mph in the Asia Cup. Today hes bowling low 80s

 

[Adil_94]

Ballance looking nervous

 

[Sandeep]

Shami's pace looks down wasnt he hitting nearly 90mph in the Asia Cup. Today hes bowling low 80s

Probably will come with full energy tomorrow.. Has already batted for close to 30 overs

 

[Zahid87]

Cook will break records....whether he can reach Sachin's records is something else.

But look at his record 25 test hundreds. He is only 29. He can easily play for another 6-7 years.

And, like most batsmen, he is only an innings against India away from playing himself back into form.

There are 4 more games, and maybe another innings in this match. He will score runs, just a matter of when.

 

[Electron]

NIce shape to the ball from Shami.

 

[Mamoon]

Bhuvneshwar is so lovely to watch.

 

[imback]

Jadeja will bowl the 8/9th over

 

[Electron]

Bhuvi is trundling with no control. Ishant ko lao

 

[Sandeep]

Too straight.. :4

 

[Electron]

Bhuvi misfields

 

[Electron]

Shami is bowling too short. Should pitch it up to the right-hander.

 

[Energetic]

Rubbish pitch. This will certainly kill Test Cricket. Looks to me England are not really bothered about being world number 1 again and more interested in the money. In fact its England who are the most obsessed about money. New FTP India are actually going to hosts minnows like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe but England won't.

 

[Sandeep]

The mighty laughing stock of Indian cricket

 

[Electron]

Ishant and Shami trundling at 130s, while Bhuvi bowling them at 125kph. Mysterious loss in pace.

 

[Adil_94]

Ganguly : Ishant believes keeping his hair long helps his wicket taking abilities

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant and Shami trundling at 130s, while Bhuvi bowling them at 125kph. Mysterious loss in pace.

Actually this is the time to up the ante.. Last few overs..

 

[Adil_94]

Dhoni should put Jadeja on

 

[nish_mate]

He bowls to the left he bowls to the right....oh Ishaaaaaant Shaaaarma you are tryuly sh***e

 

[Haz95]

so beautiful....oh wait )

 

[Adil_94]

Ishant and Shami trundling at 130s, while Bhuvi bowling them at 125kph. Mysterious loss in pace.

Yeah in Asia Cup Bhuvi was around 140ks and Shami was at 145ks dunno what happened

 

[Sandeep]

Yeah in Asia Cup Bhuvi was around 140ks and Shami was at 145ks dunno what happened

Is it the mischief of Bangbros' speedguns?

 

[Adil_94]

Is it the mischief of Bangbros' speedguns?

Possibly but they just looked quicker in the Asia Cup.

 

[Haz95]

lol the slippers are like 10 miles away from the batsman...this is Ishant and co bowling, not Johnson and co. These lot haven't even hit 140 once.
and [MENTION=2901]adil[/MENTION]94 bhuvi was bowling 135 while shami was 142ish in the Asia cup

 

[Electron]

Is it the mischief of Bangbros' speedguns?

Or maybe its an Angreji mischief

 

[Adil_94]

lol the slippers are like 10 miles away from the batsman...this is Ishant and co bowling, not Johnson and co. These lot haven't even hit 140 once.
and [MENTION=2901]adil[/MENTION]94 bhuvi was bowling 135 while shami was 142ish in the Asia cup

I remember Bhuvi bowled a few at 138-139 him and Shami was hitting 144

Shami has always been around 140+ in his career, and Bhuvi too had picked his pace up to 135. Today it looks different.

 

[Sandeep]

Bell, Root, Prior, Stokes, Moeen, Broad...! Boy, the English bat deep

 

[Buffet]

Game should be a draw unless one side bats horribly. Nothing in pitch for bowlers. I just came back from outside and saw 10/11 from India making half centuries. Did they bat well or Eng was bowling pies?

 

[battler]

New ball has worn off and we have got the solitary wicket.
fully expect england to be 200/1 at tea tomorrow

 

[Energetic]

Asian speed guns are inaccurate. Pitches in Asia are slow yet you see speed guns in Asia reading 140+ kph lol

 

[Electron]

Jaddu

 

[Haz95]

I remember Bhuvi bowled a few at 138-139 him and Shami was hitting 144

yeah bhuvi was bowling 135 and cranked it to 138 too while Shami was bowling 140ish and cranked it to 144-45 at times however here they're showing their true colours

 

[Buffet]

yeah bhuvi was bowling 135 and cranked it to 138 too while Shami was bowling 140ish and cranked it to 144-45 at times however here they're showing their true colours

Didn't these two were batting for few hours? I think they will be tired and not really going to bowl full speed. Anyway, they are not too pacy to begin with.

 

[Sandeep]

The great Clouderson and Broad didn't get wickets here.. What do you expect from Ishant and co

 

[battler]

Asian speed guns are inaccurate. Pitches in Asia are slow yet you see speed guns in Asia reading 140+ kph lol

speed is measured from the hand and not off the pitch.

 

[Electron]

Ishant produces an edge, falls short !

 

[Haz95]

yeah true actually but whats Ishants excuse ?

Ishant produces an edge, falls short !

didn't I say the slippers stood way too far

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant produces an edge, falls short !

That is the closest he will come to taking a wicket

 

[Sandeep]

No spin for Jadeja.. hopes of a win are gone. Draw looks the only possible result now

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant back to bowling his line again.. straight on the legs..

 

[Sandeep]

126 kph gentle bullets from the mighty fast bowler

 

[Sandeep]

Sir comes on to replace Sir!

 

[battler]

Ishant produces another edge lol

 

[cricket geek]

let's see what Binny can do ?

 

[battler]

dull draw written all over this match!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Will be a draw.

England will score close to 400 too. Our trundlers will live up to their name.

 

[Batman_DB]

likely draw unless england bat very well maintaing a 3.5 RR

 

[Batman_DB]

india just needs to keep things tidy to ensure a draw i dunt think they will able to dismiss ENG under 450

 

[Big Harvey]

I notice from my Facebook feed that some of my friends (and I'm talking here about people who regularly travel the world watching Test cricket) switched off the TV after a few overs yesterday.

I'd heard whispers before the series started that dead pitches were going to be prepared for this series as part of the ECB's desire to suck up to the BCCI. Either those whispers were true or this pitch is just a coincidence.

 

[OZGOD]

England v India | 1st Investec Test | July 9-13, 2014 | Nottingham | Day 3

Day 3 starting soon. Engerlund under the pump with Cook's cheap dismissal just before stumps yesterday. Can Aussie Sam and Zimbo Gaz bat them to some type of safety to avoid a humiliating defeat to the worst touring team of recent times? Or will Old Blighty's cricket team join their rugby players and footballers as losers this northern summer?

 

[Varun]

Need to get a wicket early on.

It's time for Binny to justify his selection.

 

[samplepiece]

Need to bowl them out by EOD in order to force a win. What are the chances of having a cloud cover today?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need to bat out the day , that is the bottamline.

 

[Robert]

Need to bowl them out by EOD in order to force a win. What are the chances of having a cloud cover today?

It's very cloudy, but that won't help India it because it's also cold so the ball won't swing much.

 

[Convict]

It's very cloudy, but that won't help India it because it's also cold so the ball won't swing much.

Any wind?

 

[samplepiece]

Already into the familiar terriory here. England are going to bat big.
