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

[sensible-indian-fan]

India is 1 hr away from saving this test match

For all practical purposes, India ain't losing this.

India should attack after lunch, post 250 lead and go all out against English.

 

[Justcrazy]

A draw is the likely result here , both captains would be happy with that.

 

[Sandeep]

Binny is a much better test batsman than Dhoni can ever be..

it looked like a draw when vijay and pujara batting but see where the game came to so cant be sure!!!

 

[Varun]

I like this interview with Ponting that Sky are playing right now.

 

[Sandeep]

Match Point on cricinfo is even more amazing.. with Ian Chappel.. Watched it for the first time

 

[Varun]

Binny has earned himself a place in the next test.

Out: Jadeja In: Ashwin

Rohit and even Gambhir will have to wait for another test, Dhawan hasn't really 'failed'.

jadeja likely to play next test ashwin likely to come back in the 3rd test

 

[Varun]

Lead by 200.

 

[Sakss]

Heading towards a draw what couldve been a result had England taken a few more wickets this morning

 

[Varun]

Only three balls before the new ball is available and Moeen is taken away. Jadeja should dispatch some into the air.

 

[Batman_DB]

new ball 1 last chance for england

 

[Sakss]

Lets see what the new ball can do for England..

 

[Electron]

Binny looks so much better than Dhawan. I wish he could be tried as an opener, gives us an extra bowling option too for cloudy days.

Please noooooo!

just like sanjay bangar of the 2002 UK tour

 

[Batman_DB]

jaddu gone

 

[battler]

anderson strikes!

 

[Sandeep]

That's interesting.. 55 overs left, 210/7

 

[Sakss]

Nothing too alarming with the new ball

 

[Varun]

Well played, Jadeja. Survived 98 deliveries in the end.

 

[Sakss]

Ooo oops Match on guys?? depends on how quickly Eng get the rest of the 3 wickets

 

[Sandeep]

It'd be great if India bowls 45 overs to England and they are to chase 240-50

 

[Sakss]

Well played, Jadeja. Survived 98 deliveries in the end.

Probably the most he's played in his career so far

 

[Sandeep]

Kumar with the confidence of a 50 and a 5-fer

 

[Batman_DB]

india not completely safe yet still needs to bat 5-6 overs

 

[Sandeep]

solid!

 

[Adil_94]

The new Kapil is in

 

[Varun]

The terrible Holding has been replaced by Dravid in the commentary box. And not a moment too soon!

 

[Adil_94]

The terrible Holding has been replaced by Dravid in the commentary box. And not a moment too soon!

Why dont you like Holding

 

[Adil_94]

England cant win this they are way too defensive under Cook. And lack a game changing batsman ala K.P

 

[Adil_94]

Botham : a draw would be a good result for England away from home.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

One commentator (who I don't know) just said England are more likely to win this test.

)

Yeah score at 4 rpo for 50 overs in swinging conditions.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

England can win but they definitely are not more likely to do it.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

India need to get to 250 fast and declare.

 

[Adil_94]

This will most likely be a draw the pitch is still flat.

 

[Sandeep]

Crucial runs..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yup. Draw is most likely.

But still I would like India to make a game out of it.

 

[Batman_DB]

ENGland don't have confidence or batsmen to chase down 220 odd in 48 overs

 

[mithun_minhas]

I think Binny is here to stay. He looks solid when batting.

The only thing is his joke a bowling. Looks just like his dad when he bowls. If Binny can at least bowl in low 130k's, he will be a great addition to Indian Test team on any ground. Can get the odd wicket and gives a lot of rest to main bowlers and can get 30 or 40 runs everytime he comes out to bat.

 

[Sandeep]

Yup. Draw is most likely.

But still I would like India to make a game out of it.

You can't really hope that with Dhoni..

 

[Batman_DB]

in how many did Pak chase down on the last day against SRI? ENGLAND try that ploy

 

[Sandeep]

Required rate will be over 4 even if India gets all out now..

 

[Batman_DB]

Required rate will be over 5 even if India gets all out now..

4.34

 

[Sandeep]

4.34

Yep, edited..

 

[Batman_DB]

very close

 

[Sandeep]

Great decision.. probably saved India this test

 

[Batman_DB]

if india survives another 11 balls without getting any runs england will have to chase 218 in 47 overs at 4.6

 

[Sandeep]

I somehow feel there's a wicket around the corner.. Clouderson on fire with clouds around the ground

 

[mithun_minhas]

very close

Would have missed leg anyway even without the inside edge. Its just Atherton's frustration.

 

[Sakss]

Great decision.. probably saved India this test

Unless Eng do what Pak did to Sri Lanka

 

[Batman_DB]

just clipping leg

 

[Sandeep]

Stuart Binny is an Anglo.. He is doing well at his ancestors' country

 

[Batman_DB]

binny can bat no6 above MSD what say guys?

 

[Sandeep]

Unless Eng do what Pak did to Sri Lanka

Conditions different. Pitch doesn't look as flat for free scoring..

 

[desi_launda]

Lead 219

 

[Sandeep]

4 more.. crucial runs these!

 

[mithun_minhas]

just clipping leg

Hawk-eye showed what I thought. The ball was just scraping the outer part of Leg stump. Which means it is missing leg. I am sure Umpire gave it not out for missing leg and not for the faint inside edge.

 

[Sandeep]

The dangerman Broad is back

very good decision at the end binny deserves a 50 here

 

[Sandeep]

Lovely from Kumar.. The lad can bat

 

[lilFlip]

BK can bat better than

 

[Batman_DB]

game is drawn now even a hat trick will mean england will have to chase 229 in 46 overs at 5 runs per over

 

[Sandeep]

If Kumar can maintain this, India might as well have found out a great no.8 batsman who can resist instead of folding, like many of our veterans did #harby #zaheer

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Will Dhoni declare?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If Kumar can maintain this, India might as well have found out a great no.8 batsman who can resist instead of folding, like many of our veterans did #harby #zaheer

Imagine if Ashwin, Jaddu, Binny and Bhuvi can bat and a pitch can take in 3 seamers and 2 spinners.

Will be a great batting and bowling lineup.

Edit: Sorry for the mistake. If a pitch takes 3 seamers and 2 spinners, Binny must sit out.

 

[Sandeep]

Will Dhoni declare?

Not in the dreams. India will bat on till they get all out

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Then what's the use of me watching this test match?

Yeah

 

[Sandeep]

Then what's the use of me watching this test match?

Just telling that Dhoni wouldn't declare. Whether you watch it or not, it's upto you

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Just telling that Dhoni wouldn't declare. Whether you watch it or not, it's upto you

If Dhoni doesn't declare, he is a TOTAL IDIOT.

 

[London_Lahori]

Well batted Binny!!

 

[Batman_DB]

binny got his test match 50 before sir jaddu

 

[Sandeep]

50 for Binny! Has shut all the critics.. including me

 

[London_Lahori]

Binny has 3 FC triples?

 

[tempus123]

Binny, superb innings under pressure.. the stats will only tell a 50, but such a valuable innings in the context.

 

[Sandeep]

If Dhoni doesn't declare, he is a TOTAL IDIOT.

That he is

And hence I always ask for a new captain for our test side. Dhoni doesn't deserve a spot, first up

 

[Sandeep]

Binny has 3 FC triples?

Probably got confused with Sir Jaddu
