England v India | 2nd ODI | Bristol | [24/8/07]

[Amjid Javed]

England lead series 1-0 and will look to extend that lead. They will also
hope to have another flawless performance. For india its time to get basics
right fielding, catching, running between wickets and batting/bowling
with discapline. Toss could be crucial all 4 previous D/N odis here
have been won by team batting 2nd.

 

[12thMan]

India won the toss and will bat first

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

Tremlett instead of Panesar, probably a seamers wicket.

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

AN Cook, MJ Prior, IR Bell, KP Pietersen, PD Collingwood, A Flintoff, RS Bopara, AD Mascarenhas, CT Tremlett, SCJ Broad, JM Anderson

SR Tendulkar, SC Ganguly, R Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, KD Karthik, MS Dhoni, RR Powar, Piyush Chawla, AB Agarkar, RP Singh, MM Patel

 

[dinakar]

India are without Zaheer.. our bowling will rock

 

[Rob H]

The weather is perfect at Bristol. Should be a great days cricket.

 

[12thMan]

Players on the field. Pitch is supposed to have some juice for fast bowlers.
Tendulkar and Ganguly to open. Karthik to come at #3

 

[12thMan]

India has played two matches at Bristol and both times scored over 300 batting first and won both

 

[Rob H]

On the pads and flicked through mid wicket for 4 by Tendulkar. Ruthless batting

6/0 off 1

 

[Billy]

Powar should do well on this pitch.

Whether Monty would have done I'm not so sure but Ramesh should have a sizeable impact (no pun intended).

 

[Punter]

23 of 4 overs

Ganguly getting a single

 

[12thMan]

Ind 23-0 after 6 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

India on a go slow here...!

24/0 after 7 overs..

 

[12thMan]

Tendulkar trying to open up. 2 fours in the over
Ind 47-0 after 11 overs
Flintoff replacing Andersen

 

[12thMan]

Tendu 30 (37) Ganguly 14 (36)
India 49-0 after 12 overs

 

[Punter]

after 2 big overs India have slowed down again

 

[dinakar]

15 overs. 69 runs we didn't lose any wicket yet!!!!!

 

[12thMan]

Tendu reaches his 80th ODI 50 off 56 balls
Ind 83-0 after 16 overs

 

[Rob H]

No ball 6. Ganguly flat bats Tremlett down the ground for a 6 off a no ball too! Great shot.

92/0

 

[Noman]

how is tendulkar playing.....sound impressive so fare.

 

[12thMan]

Tendu is playing very good. He is trying to attack and sometimes also being innovative (playing unorthodox shots). No chance given yet

17 runs off the Tremlett's over
Ind 100-0 after 17 overs

 

[Billy]

how is tendulkar playing.....sound impressive so fare.

Good shot
Great shot
Play and miss
Amazing shot
Get self in tangle and almost fall over bat
Wonderfully innovative shot
Play and Miss


It's like a merging of a young Tendulkar and an old Tendulkar.

 

[Billy]

To summarise then.

Tendulkar is playing very well overall but hasn't quite been 'majestic', yet. Ganguly really didn't start well at all but he's decided that he needs to go after Tremlett, a bowler who doesn't seem comfortable on this pitch, and he's started hitting out with exactly the sort of semi-slogging that England will in no way be able to replicate.

Jimmy Anderson's got the right idea with some getting some yorkers in though.

thanks bro.

 

[mamoo gogo]

Dada Out.

 

[Hari Sombar]

Tendu taking it to Mascheranas

 

[Noman]

well, tendulkar has done a very good job so fare....
Will the world ever see a batsman like him?

I think we should enjoy tendulkar as long as possible..

 

[Swaraj!!]

Looks like Tendulkar is trying to Farm the strike

 

[Hari Sombar]

what a shot of Tremlett, smacked back, just like Ganguly

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sachin, Sachin, Sachin

 

[12thMan]

Tendu reaches 1002 against England and now has a 1000 runs against every major ODI nation. only player to do so

 

[mamoo gogo]

He better make a century!

 

[Noman]

He better make a century!

I hope he does..... Sachin my HERO...
I wish we had a batsman like him...

 

[Mo.]

Tendulkars injured. looks like hes got cramp

 

[The Chaudrey]

Typical Tendu. Whenever he plays for more than 20 overs he starts suffering from cramps. I've seen him do this so often

 

[12thMan]

Tendu on 91
Ind 152-1 after 26.3 overs

 

[Swaraj!!]

Typical Tendu. Whenever he plays for more than 20 overs he starts suffering from cramps. I've seen him do this so often

Have you?

"He seems to be in lot of pain. The physio is out there. The umpires have called for drinks. Remember, Tendulkar was suffering from body ache and flu yesterday."

 

[Hari Sombar]

3 fours on the trot for Yuvi

 

[12thMan]

Yuvi going after Bopara. 2 fours in same area of wide mid on and then one at covers

 

[Tupac]

wonderful batting performance! let's go sachin and yuvi!!

 

[linuxaddict]

Yuvraj on T20 mood..

 

[12thMan]

Ind 172-1 after 29 overs
anything below 325 will be disappointing

 

[linuxaddict]

Once Sachin gets his 100, he will launch all out assault and probably get out.

 

[Hari Sombar]

Nearly caught going for the big one

 

[Hash]

we are getting pulverized

 

[Mo.]

Sachin gone on 99!

lol

 

[Hari Sombar]

Abd Sachin gone for 99, another bad decision ...

 

[Rob H]

Tendulkar gone on 99. Caught behind off Flintoff to a bouncer. Tendulkar not happy with it

 

[mamoo gogo]

Go India!
(Is that being unpatriotic? )

 

[Rob H]

Right off the arm guard. Horrific decision by the umpire but good aggressive bowling by Flintoff.

 

[Rickz]

Tendulkar out for 99!.

 

[12thMan]

Tendu gets out on 99. ct behing on the leg side. he doesn't look happy with the decision

 

[mamoo gogo]

Tendulkar gone on 99. Caught behind off Flintoff to a bouncer. Tendulkar not happy with it

Ouch! This is his second 99 on this tour.

 

[linuxaddict]

A Well Deserved 99

 

[Hari Sombar]

And here comes Dravid to slow us down

 

[Billy]

Wrong decision but given that it came off the arm directly behind the gloves it's probably more understandable than some of the other decisions this summer.

Still, Sachin has every right to be upset at that.

 

[linuxaddict]

Looks like when he is on 90s bouncer is good weapon to get him. Remeber 2003 WC akthar delivery.

 

[Rickz]

India set for a big score, 185-2 in the 33rd over.

 

[Hari Sombar]

200 up, 330 around is good from here

 

[Hari Sombar]

Im agreeing with what the commentators are saying. Dhoni should have come in, with Bopara ect. filling in the overs Dhoni could have taken advantage

 

[linuxaddict]

As long as Dravid there, he will make sure dont run away with a grand total...

 

[jusarrived]

on a flat wicket , no pressure .........tendulkar bcoms god again .....lol !

 

[Rob H]

215/2 off 38 overs. India should be looking for another 100 runs minimum.

 

[shahzad_1]

on a flat wicket , no pressure .........tendulkar bcoms god again .....lol !

Give a little man some credit

 

[linuxaddict]

Give a little man some credit

The problem is he was given too much of credit.

 

[Billy]

on a flat wicket , no pressure .........tendulkar bcoms god again .....lol !

It was a good innings.

Sourav showed that you still have to apply yourself on this wicket.

 

[jusarrived]

Give a little man some credit

On this wicket Uthappa or Ghambir wud have made sure we get pat 300....wer was this littel master wen india was chansing 280 in first ODI ?

Good innings , but as i said there are loads of indian yungsters who cud have scored tar a much faster rate ,on this pitch !

 

[jusarrived]

It was a good innings.

On a decent picth india scores 280+ scores batting first more oftent than not....we don need tendulkars of gangulay's for this ....!

 

[Hari Sombar]

Yuvi gone for 49

 

[Indian]

On a decent picth india scores 280+ scores batting first more oftent than not....we don need tendulkars of gangulay's for this ....!

[12thMan]

Ind 247-3 after 42 overs

 

[jusarrived]

didnt you quite this forum a few weeks ago crying over some thread in TP? back again then?

yeah , I have a fickle mind..you have a problem ?

crying ? lol just cos I said somthing about ur beloved tendulkar ? huh

 

[iZeeshan]

Man, Tendu, gets out on 99 a lot...

India wil be putting up a very decent score. Prolly over 320, if they are any good.

 

[Indian]

yeah , I have a fickle mind..you have a problem ?

crying ? lol just cos I said somthing about ur beloved tendulkar ? huh

heheh...so touchy..poor guy no one cared when you threw a tantrum and left back now like shamelessly..... anyway good to have jokers like you around who think gambhir and uthappa will score more than tendulkar and gangly ) cehck their averages

 

[Billy]

I want Collingwood sacked.

No Englishman should be let loose on the captaincy if he can't count.

 

[Hari Sombar]

fours coming here ...

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

Sachin gone on 99!

lol

Hot spot clearly showing it hit his elbow...the hilusive 100 out of Tenduljers grasp.

 

[jusarrived]

[Billy]

Actually hot spot and snicko suggest it may not have been an awful decision afterall...

 

[Rickz]

India putting the English bowlers to the sword, 282-3 and a further 5 more overs to go.
