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

[Sakss]

Legend Sharma on now..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We cannot let the English batting get away so easily. Our bowling looks toothless. No way are we gonna pick up 20 wickets with hacks like binny.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Best over of the day by Ishant.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bhuvi's strategy looks good.

Bowl full and swing it in. Set fielders for the drives.

That's the best chance of him getting a wicket.

 

[Sakss]

A lot of no Balls from Ishant

 

[Varun]

So Ishant has had this no-ball problem since even the tour games, and he's been allowed to play this test.

I doubt any problem of Ishant's has been solved. Which is the story of his career and which is why he's the bowler he is.

 

[style_guru]

How does MSD or Indian think tank expect Teeli to take wickets? His head falls off while delivering, his wrist position is worse then a club bowler at the time of release, he bowls short of length most times & trundles at 120's. To have him over Pandey is suicidal.

Indian bowlers should brace for 40-50 overs each this inning

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

As of now, Ishant has looked like the most likely to get a wicket.

 

[asifp]

and people used to call Misbah boring.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two have already added 87 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

England should look to bat out today and not loose more than 3 wickets today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms would be about three hundred twenty by stumps.

 

[Justcrazy]

Jadeja has been economical , just 9 from his 7 overs.

 

[the Great Khan]

draw on the cards by the looks of things. What a boring start to this series??

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership so far has yielded 104 rund.

 

[Justcrazy]

draw on the cards by the looks of things. What a boring start to this series??

Hopefully next game will have result oriented surfaces.

 

[Robert]

draw on the cards by the looks of things. What a boring start to this series??

Might spin on the last day, but this wicket is no good to man or beast. It's like India in the early eighties....

 

[Bickers]

These are the worst wickets. At least on a flat Sri Lankan road - or Barbados 2009, the flattest wicket I've ever seen - the batsman can play their shots and get value for them. On these wickets it's just terrible cricket all round.

 

[Fire Bird]

Might spin on the last day, but this wicket is no good to man or beast. It's like India in the early eighties....

India in the early 80s beat world beaters WI to win the world cup in 83. But of course what do the English know about winning a world cup

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen have reached fifty , they need to carry on and make a big one here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Binny back into attack here.

 

[Sakss]

Robson and Ballance looking solid here... Both need hundreds

 

[Fire Bird]

Looks like phainty time started for Indians. We may be looking at 600/1 declared. Brace yourselves fellas. Here it comes another tour another phainta

 

[Justcrazy]

Batsmen showing too much respect to Jadeja , as if he is Johnson of slow bowling

 

[Adil_94]

India in the early 80s beat world beaters WI to win the world cup in 83. But of course what do the English know about winning a world cup

I think he meant the pitches are like India in the early 80s. Not the team

 

[Justcrazy]

Looks like phainty time started for Indians. We may be looking at 600/1 declared. Brace yourselves fellas. Here it comes another tour another phainta

That will not win the test for Englamd

 

[Adil_94]

Binny looks the epitome of mediocre how is this guy in the team ahead of Ashwin

 

[Batman_DB]

england likely to take a lead of 150 by 4th day tea indian bowlers possessing min threat this show how well the english bowlers bowled

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not think India expected to take twenty wickets here, poms bat deep , also not much spin so far

 

[biggestdravidfan]

Why did Perth test of 2008 happened ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Binny looks the epitome of mediocre how is this guy in the team ahead of Ashwin

He got six against Bangladesh that is why.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why did Perth test of 2008 happened ?

What happened there?

 

[Justcrazy]

That is lunch

Poms 131/1

Long day ahead of India , with both these batsmen set.

 

[Sakss]

This is going to be a boring draw in the end.. Thanks to the fantastic pitch

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What happened there?

Ishant Sharma's famous spell to Ponting.

10 overs of trouble. Finally Ponting got out to him.

 

[biggestdravidfan]

What happened there?

In that match onting made ishant sharma look like ishant 'Malcolm Donald McGrath Waqar' sharma

 

[Sakss]

In that match onting made ishant sharma look like ishant 'Malcolm Donald McGrath Waqar' sharma

That match and one Test recently against NZ , other then that he has been rubbish

 

[style_guru]

Teeli's mobile, thumb drive, his cloud backup & other memory chips etc. should be confiscated asap if Indians want to win some tests in future.

 

[biggestdravidfan]

I wonder if we can take 20 English wickets in the 5 tests combined.

 

[Kiri]

OUT. Given lbw by umpire as Ishant gets one to swing in and Robson misses it. It's him on the pads but BIG inside edge as replays show.

 

[Moh@n]

Robson gone.. Teeli strikes after lunch..

Looks like he got an inside edge though. Given out LBW.

 

[desi_launda]

It was bat hitting pad

 

[Kiri]

This is why every country should be using inside edge. I don't care if India is still one of the 'big 3', they should be using DRS like every other country.

Wasn't an edge

 

[samplepiece]

I dont remember watching anyone bat slower than this against the Indian trundlers on a flat deck.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wasn't an edge

Why you quoted me bud?

 

[desi_launda]

Why you quoted me bud?

No idea

 

[desi_launda]

Ishant. Has got some rhythm now

 

[Robert]

Blimey, sensible-indian-fan is right! Ishantgetanywickets has got a wicket! The Mighty and Tall has begun the collapse!

 

[Saeed]

This is like watching a wall of paint dry. Everybody should just go home so I stop getting bored. I would like to see some es.

 

[desi_launda]

Robert is right
Another wicket for ishant!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant on fire.

LOLOLOL

Proving haters wrong.

 

[Saeed]

Balance .

 

[Varun]

Now Ishant gets a place for the entire series.

If he didn't have one already.

 

[OZGOD]

Oh noes! Aussie Rob and Zimbo Gaz are gone! Who will save Engerlund now?

 

[desi_launda]

Ishant moving the ball prodigiously

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ellen Degeneres at the crease now.

 

[Saeed]

Will it rain?

 

[Robert]

Ishant on fire.

LOLOLOL

Proving haters wrong.

Yeah, there's not much they can do when he gets them out Bat Before Wicket due to no DRS.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant getting the ball to move. He is always a bit dangerous with the old wall.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ball swinging a bit for BK too.

 

[samplepiece]

2 quick wickets here and we could be in with a sniff. But that is expecting too much from our trundlers on a flat deck.

 

[Robert]

Ishant getting the ball to move. He is always a bit dangerous with the old wall.

I think he pushed the old wall over on top of Ballance.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Blimey, sensible-indian-fan is right! Ishantgetanywickets has got a wicket! The Mighty and Tall has begun the collapse!

Haha....

 

[samplepiece]

Something doesnt add up. Ishants genuinely bowling well.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

A brute of an over.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Something doesnt add up. Ishants genuinely bowling well.

Ishant is supposed to bowl well. Its in his DNA.

Tum log mere baat sunthe hi nahi ho.

 

[Varun]

Something doesnt add up. Ishants genuinely bowling well.

Law of averages. He'll be back in no time.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Something doesnt add up. Ishants genuinely bowling well.

He always does this.

One very good spell followed by 4 Test matches of mediocre bowling.

 

[samplepiece]

Ishant is supposed to bowl well. Its in his DNA.

Tum log mere baat sunthe hi nahi ho.

He hasnt stayed true to his DNA barring a couple of occasions.

 

[samplepiece]

BK getting bashed.

 

[Saeed]

2 s in this over.

 

[Saeed]

Now 3rd one.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Out.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Talk. Talk now. Talk now.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

 

[Saeed]

Bell . England will lose this now.

 

[Varun]

Ishant turning it on!

 

[samplepiece]

I am rolling on the floor laughing! Ishant > Anderson, Broad on this flat surface

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant on Fire.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ishant was destined to do this.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I am rolling on the floor laughing! Ishant > Anderson, Broad on this flat surface

True indeed.

Brutal spell.
