The real Indian bowling attack has shown its face.

Come out Indian fans and support them in this hour of need.
 
How embarrassing if you're an Indian fan regardless how poor the pitch is. Now I understand why Australia and South Africa are the best test teams in the world because they finish off the tail in moments unlike the joker India.

its more embarrassing to your top order players...
 
this is getting fun now this humiliation will lead to thrashing series win for england i predicted 3-1 but i gonna say 4-0 now
 
What a master strategy india have.. They know it'll be a dull draw so Indian bowlers gives them wrong impression means England will prepare green pitch for next match and Legend Ishanth and co. clean up them completely....!! :akhtar
 
Wow I missed all the fun. Hopefully they will either get to the 100 lead quickly and then try to get India out as soon as they can. No point wasting overs now.
 
Broad and Kumar are the only bowlers to emerge with decent figures.

A lead of 100 would make things interesting - if only to inflict points for the next match. England would have to open with broad and plunkett, though.
 
Is this the same Jimmy Clouderson that looked like a hapless bunny vs MJ?

Its these kind of matches that kill tests IMO.

Sure this last stand is interesting but there is absolutely nothing at stake anymore. Its a nailed on bore draw.
 
What are they appealing for? So desperate and Ishant is 2 away from his 150.
 
Root must have let one rip or something. They are looking at Hot spot from the wrong side.

Wasn't an edge. The white spot on the bat was the sticker. Good to see the umpire didn't faulter.
 
Seemingly, the only significance of this Test match will be BCCI's no DRS stance being bashed around. This is awesome.
 
Draw is the most probable result.

India should score a quick 250 if they plan to force a result
 
Stuart binny and ishant will lose the series for us comfortably. I have even lost faith in shami these days and bhuvi does not have pace. Our bowling is as bad as that of the zimbos.
 
Quick burst of 300 needed.

Send Kohli and Dhoni in.
 
A truly dismal performance from India towards the end of that innings. This is exactly what the OZ did to Engerlund during the Ashes - get out of jail after looking to be mullered. That Indian dressing room must be really demoralised. Last 3 wickets cost 294 runs for India. Walking wicket Clouderson got 81 :)))

Your signature sums it up.
 
In all the years I have followed our test team, this has to be the worst bowling attack I've seen and that is by Indian standards. Its ridiculous how the likes of binny even got selected to the test squad. Forget the MRF foundation crap. We need a truly comprehensive fast bowling program that identifies talent, nurtures it and makes sure that it isnt lost thanks to excessive cricket/poor captaincy etc. I think I'm done watching team India play test cricket for some time now. Pathetic selections/performances.
