England v India | 2nd Test | July 17-21 2014 | Lord's

[OZGOD]

About to get going. Will India pick Jadeja so he can have a bit more of hows your father with Clouderson? Will Cook get into double digits? Will Dhawan cowlash his way to 29 and out?

Let's see!

 

[lilFlip]

Will Cook get into double digits?

He is due a big one

 

[Adil_94]

England win the toss and bowl first

 

[Sandeep]

We're batting.. No under 100 please

 

[Varun]

We're going to be rolled alive on this deck.

 

[Moh@n]

Both teams unchanged. England win toss and bowl.

 

[mussu-100]

Ando is gonna tear these guys apart! :jaddu

 

[Sandeep]

Give Ashwin chance yaar.. Jadeja is not suited here

 

[Varun]

At least the sun is shining.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen Pitch. lolol

 

[Varun]

Binny might actually be a good selection on this wicket.

It being green gives us a good chance when we bowl.

 

[Sandeep]

Binny might actually be a good selection on this wicket.

It being green gives us a good chance when we bowl.

Agreed. If Binny should play anywhere, it is here

 

[London_Lahori]

What's the surface like, crapinfo says it's green, but they do like to exaggerate?

 

[Varun]

I fear the most about Dhawan.

 

[Sandeep]

What's the surface like, crapinfo says it's green, but they do like to exaggerate?

Watch the pictures posted in other thread and decide for yourself

 

[Saeed]

So the pitch is green. Well India's match to lose.

 

[Varun]

What's the surface like, crapinfo says it's green, but they do like to exaggerate?

The Amazon rainforest has moved to England.

 

[Sandeep]

I fear the most about Dhawan.

Nothing to worry man.. This was long overdue; lets gauge the techniques of the boys

 

[London_Lahori]

Watch the pictures posted in other thread and decide for yourself

Ok, give me a couple mins

 

[Sandeep]

So the pitch is green. Well India's match to lose.

I bet you meant "India's gonna lose"

 

[Saeed]

Cricinfo saying that India has only won 1 match at this venue.

 

[London_Lahori]

Guys, it's really warm and humid today in London as well. Expect the ball to swing...

 

[Abhilash93]

The second test has been shifted to Wimbledon #green

 

[Saeed]

I bet you meant "India's gonna lose"

No, the stats and India's history overseas says that.

 

[lilFlip]

Stop wrist slitting ppl.

India are very motivated.

England will have to work hard for their scalps

 

[Varun]

Nothing to worry man.. This was long overdue; lets gauge the techniques of the boys

Yah, all said and done.

 

[Saeed]

Can't wait for the match to begin. This is going to be fun and Dhawan won't last long.

 

[Moh@n]

Cricinfo saying that India has only won 1 match at this venue.

Yes that was Kapil Dev's team in 1986.

 

[Sandeep]

Nothing like a nice test century here from Kohli... Will just make for a great evening!

 

[Sandeep]

David Lloyd tweets: "Don't be duped by green ........#justsaying"

Amen

 

[Saeed]

So this is the match, where India won.http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63432.html
Can toss be the difference as India was batting second in that match?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Can't wait for the match to begin. This is going to be fun and Dhawan won't last long.

The Sun rises in the east.

 

[London_Lahori]

Bumble doesn't believe it's anywhere as bad as it looks.

Chin up fellas, you're already writing your obituary

 

[Varun]

Nothing like a nice test century here from Kohli... Will just make for a great evening!

And some angry Hindi at Anderson when he gets to 50, 100 and 150 haha!

 

[Varun]

Gambhir should've been picked in there somewhere.

 

[lilFlip]

There is gonna be a lot of slow singin' and flower bringin'

James Anderson will be on fire

 

[Sandeep]

And some angry Hindi at Anderson when he gets to 50, 100 and 150 haha!

Yeah, reminding Clouderson all his family members

 

[Varun]

Well, at least Kumar will be licking his lips.

 

[Sandeep]

Well, at least Kumar will be licking his lips.

Brace yourself for some Kumar vs Akram/Asif threads

 

[Electron]

Would make Anderson angry if he gets smacked around on this pitch.

 

[lilFlip]

Brace yourself for some Kumar vs Akram/Asif threads

And ofcourse we all know [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] 's opinion

 

[Saeed]

Would make Anderson angry if he gets smacked around on this pitch.

I assure you sir that green pitch bully is going to get a 6fer.

 

[OZGOD]

England have decided to field. Indian have to bat first on a green mamba (for the first couple of hours at least before it turns into an English dual carriageway).

 

[OZGOD]

Why does my new computer keep changing India to Indian???

 

[Moh@n]

Actually this can backfire on England. Their bowlers were on the field most part of the first test, and they got only 3 days break. Now they are bowling again.

India should really drive home the advantage here. I'd say it looks like a good toss to lose.

 

[Random Aussie]

Knowing Lords, its probably a road they painted green

 

[Saeed]

Why does my new computer keep changing India to Indian???

Your computer could be racist.

 

[nish_mate]

Nice and sunny in London today- expect pitch to flatten out post lunch

Just survive till lunch Dhawan and then you can "pakkad pakkad ke maaro"

 

[Moh@n]

Someone like Sreesanth would have been gold on this pitch.

 

[Varun]

.....and Dravid rings the bell.

 

[jattafridi]

I think India will score 450 plus runs
Kohli and pujara will score century's

 

[Varun]

Why does my new computer keep changing India to Indian???

How does a computer change the spelling of anything?

 

[Varun]

This ground is where the decline of Indian cricket in recent times began.

 

[Saeed]

India to get out in next 2 sessions.

 

[Sandeep]

I think India will score 450 plus runs
Kohli and pujara will score century's

As if the pitch wasn't enough, we have these jinxes now

 

[Batman_DB]

same team good decision i got a feeling binny will do well here but india gonna make wholesome changes in the 3rd test if they lose this one

 

[London_Lahori]

How does a computer change the spelling of anything?

Auto correct

 

[Sandeep]

Lol, I can't see a tinge of brown!

 

[London_Lahori]

Pujara will show up today.... guts it out ala Dravid Headingly 2002.

 

[Electron]

Woww.. didn't expect this to be so green !!

 

[Sandeep]

Wow.. Look at that.. Who doesn't want to bowl there!

 

[Saeed]

The ball is moving miles. Hell yeah!

 

[OZGOD]

Your computer could be racist.

It keeps adding the n suffix which is really irritating.

 

[Sandeep]

Nice start to the match.. It may not end well for us Indians, this innings that is

 

[Batman_DB]

testing pitch for indian batsmen

 

[OZGOD]

Auto correct

Ya I have to work out how to turn it off.

 

[Electron]

Broad will be more dangerous than Anderson with his extra pace here.

 

[OZGOD]

Clouderson and Broad will be a handful in the first hour or so.

 

[Sandeep]

We're off the mark!! )

 

[Electron]

Edge and Mr. no-technique survives.

 

[Batman_DB]

the conditions aren't overcast sun is beating down overcast condition assist swing more than the pitch

 

[Saeed]

He is about to get out. He looks confused and scared.

 

[m.shah]

India off the mark

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian Bowling will get advantage on green surface

 

[Saeed]

Barbie has to be the most annoying person ever in this world.

 

[Sandeep]

Yay! 10 runs and surprise, no wickets yet!

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need to drive home the Toss advantage and get India all out for 200.

 

[Justcrazy]

4 byes

 

[Sandeep]

Barbie has to be the most annoying person ever in this world.

Wait mate, he will pick you wickets.. It's also not as if India have come here to just submit themselves

 

[Varun]

10 down, 500 to go fellas!
