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

[Adil_94]

Dhoni got lucky there

 

[battler]

dhoni put down!

 

[Varun]

This series is the tale of two dumb captains.

 

[Adil_94]

Cook bottled it in the field this time

 

[Adil_94]

Pakistan style fielding

 

[Batman]

Cook a big led down for his team. Awful drop.

 

[Batman_DB]

so india trying to lose the match from a winning position

 

[battler]

jadeja's longest test innings is 49 balls

 

[OZGOD]

Are Indian folding?

 

[Aman]

Are Indian folding?

Reckon Cook is becoming a liability for England?

 

[Sakss]

Broad to Dhoni, no run, similar line, touch shorter, Dhoni slashes at it and gets a thick edge dropped by Cook at first slip, awful drop. Straight to him at knee height, didn't have to move and it went straight out of his hands, very very poor from Cook

 

[Sakss]

Dhoni's wicket would've made this match more interesting

 

[OZGOD]

Reckon Cook is becoming a liability for England?

With every drop, yes.

 

[RexRex]

oooh boy adelaide 06 in the making ?? Hope not !

 

[Adil_94]

Ganguly trolling Jadeja on commentary hes a prettt good commie

 

[Batman_DB]

india need runs runs can make the chase longer for england if thy can't survive till tea

 

[Batman_DB]

on swinging pitch msd at no6 and jadeja no7 so literally kinda playing with 2 less batsmen

 

[OZGOD]

Can Sir Jaddu save India?

 

[Haz95]

defensive batting by a slogger? Draw is on I guess

 

[Saeed]

Things just got real. England should get remaining 5 wickets in this session if they want to win.

 

[Batman_DB]

very disappointed with kohli he was worst of the indian top 6

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

India need atleast 200 lead.

Even if it isn't enough, it would be enough to scare England into closing shutters and go for a draw if they lose a wicket or 2 at the start.

200 lead or India is going to lose.

 

[jattafridi]

I don't think England can win

 

[Batman_DB]

MSD gone

 

[Adil_94]

MSD stumps shattered :Akhtar

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

very disappointed with kohli he was worst of the indian top 6

Garbage technique exhibited with that leg coming too much in front.

 

[battler]

dhoni
congrats england!

 

[jattafridi]

Binny shami bk sharma all are world class players

 

[Saeed]

, hell yeah.

 

[DrSchultz]

Come on England. We are with you.

 

[OZGOD]

Oh noes! Dhoni seems to have got himself out.

 

[Electron]

Wah wah

 

[OZGOD]

Typical concrete shoes Dhoni, good thing he isn't a Mafia target

 

[Adil_94]

Kohli seems susceptible to swinging conditions :Junaid

 

[Bickers]

Surely India aren't going to let us win this of all Test matches. 457 and 202/7 on a flat pitch.

 

[London_Lahori]

My first day watching this test.

Dhoni gone, this could be a brilliant last day. England aren't exactly immune to a collapse either )

 

[Sakss]

Dhoni gone too... lets see if the tail can resist today

 

[OZGOD]

Indian on the rack

 

[Varun]

Now Jadeja and Binny. Just what we've all been waiting for.

 

[OZGOD]

Why does it keep changing Indians to Indian???

 

[jattafridi]

Legend in

 

[Adil_94]

Stuart Kallis Binny is here

 

[Sakss]

India have scored only 17 runs this morning and have lost three wickets..

 

[Varun]

Somebody please tell me that England will fold enough to push for a draw as well, if we are to be bowled out soon.

 

[Robert]

See Chef, this is why Plunkett should come over the wicket and pitch it up instead of this round the wicket 'enforcer' nonsense.

 

[London_Lahori]

Jadeja edges one just short of slip

 

[Varun]

Stuart Kallis Binny is here

It's actually Stuart Terrence Roger Binny.

Sounds like a cartoon character.

 

[battler]

jadeja should just slog now!

 

[London_Lahori]

Somebody please tell me that England will fold enough to push for a draw as well, if we are to be bowled out soon.

They have it in them.

 

[Saeed]

So lets say England gets the remaining 4 wickets in next 26 overs and get the lead to 200. Still 200 is very achievable in 50 overs.

 

[Adil_94]

It's actually Stuart Terrence Roger Binny.

Sounds like a cartoon character.

Reminds me of a Loony Tune dont know why

 

[London_Lahori]

India's biggest mistake here is that they have gone into a shell. They should be scoring.

 

[London_Lahori]

Reminds me of a Loony Tune dont know why

Reminds me of who framed roger rabbit.

 

[Batman_DB]

vijay and pujara gave away the wickets last night which kept the pressure on india but now its disaster

 

[Adil_94]

Reminds me of who framed roger rabbit.

Yeah same here

 

[Varun]

vijay and pujara gave away the wickets last night which kept the pressure on india but now its disaster

This. Vijay moreso than Pujara, but yes, both are culpable.

 

[London_Lahori]

That's what Jadeja needs to do

 

[Adil_94]

Thats the way to go for Jadeja he doesnt have the technique to defend

 

[Varun]

Boom.

 

[OZGOD]

I feel that Engerlund need to dismiss everyone by lunch to have a chance

 

[OZGOD]

Can Sir Jaddu score a ton to save India?

 

[Saeed]

This test match reminds me of the match where broad scored 150+. This match http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/engine/current/match/426416.html

 

[OZGOD]

This is a golden opportunity for Sir Jaddu to show what he is made of

 

[London_Lahori]

I think he made it

 

[Electron]

Run out !!! Crapp

 

[Varun]

Binny is a better bat than Jadeja.

 

[Varun]

Send these two comedians home!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

So lets say England gets the remaining 4 wickets in next 26 overs and get the lead to 200. Still 200 is very achievable in 50 overs.

I would happily take that.

Nope England isn't scoring 200 in 50 overs in this pitch. Defensive team. In fact I would want it to go for it so India get a chance to win but I know it won't.

But below 200 is what scares me.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We need 200 run. Please please get me to 200.

 

[Varun]

How hasn't Jadeja nicked one yet?

 

[Batman_DB]

india need to bat 25overs and score 50 and they are likely to be safe

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How hasn't Jadeja nicked one yet?

Thank our stars.

 

[Varun]

We need 200 run. Please please get me to 200.

Bet we'll manage that, we're 154/6.

From this stage on I'd say that if we have England bat and get Cook out early again we can carry forward some momentum into the next test.

 

[Saeed]

How come Jadeja is in the test team? His batting average is like 21 and he didn't do much while bowling.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bet we'll manage that, we're 154/6.

From this stage on I'd say that if we have England bat and get Cook out early again we can carry forward some momentum into the next test.

200 run with just 50 overs and we have NOTHING to worry.

Engaland though has to survive 50 overs in these conditions.

But getting to 200 is a big ask as of now. Hope India does it.

 

[Electron]

Binny's technique looks good.

 

[battler]

How hasn't Jadeja nicked one yet?

He had, but fell short of slips

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How come Jadeja is in the test team? His batting average is like 21 and he didn't much while bowling.

I have explained it many times in other threads. Here's a short answer.

His bowling is economical which allows other pacers to get rest. So even if he doesn't pick up wickets in these conditions, its not a total waste.

His batting is a joke and we expect some fluke performances from him.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Binny's technique looks good.

He did look solid in the first innings before he got out.

 

[Varun]

Binny looks a helluva lot more assured than Jadeja.
