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

[Lords]

wicket, anytime now.... waiting......

I told you so. well ahead of time

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Sounded like a fluke wicket.

Definitely not a fluke.

The plan was there for the whole time.

3 bouncers.

Bouncer 1 - outside leg (Ishant didn't get it right)
Bouncer 2 - outside leg (same)
Bouncer 3 - well directed to the face (got it right)

Only 1 slip was there. This wicket wasn't fluke.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jadeja is good option , he will keep one end tight

On Day 5, a spinner is expected to do more.

 

[nish_mate]

Bud saw the terror that our bowlers are.

Now tell me whether Indians wrist slitting was over the top or not?

Its our bowlers, our captain and our HISTORY.

If it were not for this wicket, you never know.

Its all about 1 partnership that destroys us.

Watling-BMac, BDV, Faf

We are notorious for such stuff.

Ok texting as i wlak- excuse the typos...

Agree to all mate you say- but this is destiny- this is where it began 3 years ago- the Lords where the phantas started- this is where it will end.... the cycle of life has come a full circle- this is the rebirth this is Moksha!!!

It is meant to be- its destiny, its karma, its I NEED A DRINK NOW!!!!!

Who says we've won this game? That big partnership (all they need is a 50-75 run burst anyway) might still be around the corner, be it from Prior, Stokes, Broad or Plunkett.

*cough* or Anderson as well.

When did I say that? I told nish mate why we Indians (including me) are pessimistic.

Nish mate was the one calling us wrist slitters.

 

[Justcrazy]

For England to win they need another couple of decent partnerships.

I hope so too.

 

[Aman]

That partnership between Moe and Root would have given England confidence, Root looks solid it's up to Prior, Stokes and Plunkett now to stick it out there with him.

 

[Adil_94]

It was a ripper by Ishant these English batsman look real bunnies against short pitched bowling. Ishant should carry on with this tactic

 

[biggestdravidfan]

Sounded like a fluke wicket.

You are Mamoon of India. Without a doubt.

 

[Varun]

You are Mamoon of India. Without a doubt.

Cheers, you can call me Varun. *gives a Joe Root like smile*

 

[lilFlip]

woah. India should wrap it before tea

New ball = at least 2 wickets.

Get Root (what a tremendous bat) and India's game

 

[hur rizvi]

WoW, England on the Counter attack, Classic Test match this

 

[Haz95]

England have lost their mo, hopefully they don't lose their joe as well

 

[Electron]

These trundlers will lose us the match.

Dhoni should persist with spin one end.

 

[Haz95]

Ellen is a class player, seriously.

 

[Robert]

Don't hook, Matty. Duck, weave.

 

[London_Lahori]

14 free runs after Tea.

Are England looking to get some quick runs in before the new ball, or will they attack from here on out?

 

[London_Lahori]

A quick 30/40 from Prior could do the trick for England today...

 

[Electron]

Wth... short pitch nonsense again and again. Pathetic.

 

[hur rizvi]

Wonderful Counter attack by England after Lunch

India need to revert to full bowling rather than short stuff

 

[Adil_94]

India becoming a bit too predictable get the new ball. Get Kumar bowling should nick out a few.

 

[lilFlip]

Sriram Raghava: "Thank God ! Ali wasn't out for a full toss. Indian bowlers would be bowling 6 toss balls an over by now."

Cricinfo )

 

[hur rizvi]

WoW Ishant just keeps on bowling short

 

[mithun_minhas]

Who is the dummy advising the bowlers to bowl short all 6 ball?

Batsmen are prepared to play them knowing what is coming at them. How dumb this bowling can get?

 

[Electron]

Whoever thought of these shot-pitched nonsense must have a look at speed-guns before getting carried away with that Moeen wicket.

 

[lilFlip]

lol bowl 2 full and 1 short

 

[mithun_minhas]

Seriously pathetic bowling by Indians. Just gave away almost 30 runs for nothing.

GOt one wicket on short pitched stuff and Ishant and Shami think they are Marshall and Ambrose )

 

[Electron]

Hahaha... egg on all our faces !!

 

[hur rizvi]

Prior what have you done

 

[Adil_94]

Game set and match India

 

[lilFlip]

Kudos to

 

[mithun_minhas]

Just as I typed this, the stategy works

Ishant acting all tough. That shoul dhave gone ofr a Six

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Worst captaincy gets a wicket.

 

[Adil_94]

Prior has lost it but not match you can do against Ishant Ambrose

 

[Sam18696]

WTH Prior No way should he be selected in future matches after something like that.

 

[Adil_94]

Ben Botham Stokes coming in

 

[London_Lahori]

Matt Prior )

Seriously, Cook, Bell and Prior need to have a good hard look at themselves.

Test match over!

 

[Electron]

I hope our trundlers realize that it was a TUKKA.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Hahaha... egg on all our faces !!

1 wicket doesn't make the captaincy look good.

Short pitch must be used sparingly. We just have 130 to defend and this one could have gone for 4 or 6.

 

[lilFlip]

Stokes to get a 3

 

[Markhor]

Ben Stokes recent average of 2 there

India have the advantage now, peppering Prior with short deliveries finally paid off, albeit cost them a fair few runs.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Why IS PAKPASSION over rating Indians?

Just 120 to defend.

Anybody's game.

 

[trogger]

For a man who only got his spot back thanks to his experience and apparent leadership qualities that is an awful awful shot.

 

[hur rizvi]

This should simply be Priors last test match, he is well past it

 

[nish_mate]

Yes!!!!!

2 Double Vodkas fuelled Yes!!!

 

[Lords]

Keep calm and believe in lambu.

Its India's game to lose

 

[desi_launda]

Dharma fired up consistent 140 kmph

 

[Electron]

1 wicket doesn't make the captaincy look good.

Yes true. 3 big hits and the game changes in a second.

 

[Adil_94]

Why IS PAKPASSION over rating Indians?

Just 120 to defend.

Anybody's game.

I think its more because you're playing a mediocre newbie team. India should wrap this up by tea.

 

[Markhor]

Ufffff, fair bit of turn there !

 

[hur rizvi]

Why IS PAKPASSION over rating Indians?

Just 120 to defend.

Anybody's game.

Yes Anybody's game but 70% in India's favour

 

[cricfan967]

Stokes should be looking to play with some aggressive intent, going to eventually get out defending.

 

[Adil_94]

Prior has turned into Kami now time for Buttler.

 

[trogger]

Had a feeling all game that this is going to be a classic test, can see it being a very tight finish.

 

[Adil_94]

England will be 250 all out.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Why IS PAKPASSION over rating Indians?

Just 120 to defend.

Anybody's game.

It's not overrating Indians, matches are rarely won from this position for sides batting last.

 

[samplepiece]

Shouldnt Dhoni have taken the new ball ASAP? Harder ball, more bounce and specially when the pitch is playing a little up and down.

 

[Electron]

Ishant needs to realize that he is bowling good enough to get wickets with fuller length.

 

[Markhor]

Oh stupid shot.

 

[Adil_94]

Pathetic shot by the new Botham.

 

[hur rizvi]

Short ball works again

Ishant is the hero !!!

 

[Electron]

OMG.. .every time I advice India to bowl fuller, one short delivery takes the wicket

 

[Adil_94]

5fer for ATG Ishant turning the game @Sif you were right all along Ishant has risen like a phoenix.

 

[Sam18696]

Why is this guy even in the team?

His third duck in a row.

 

[hur rizvi]

Stokes what was he thinking

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What is happening.

India please for God's sake finish it off.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Ishant Sharma take a bow son!!

Ben Stokes batting form is pathetic. You'd expect better from a Namibian number 11 never mind an English no.7

 

[Adil_94]

Why is this guy even in the team?

Has a ton in Perth.

 

[lilFlip]

The next Botham departs

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant trolling Brits

5 wickets for him.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

5fer for ATG Ishant turning the game @Sif you were right all along Ishant has risen like a phoenix.

Ishant MA BOY.

The Greatest Pace Bowling Legend.

 

[lilFlip]

Ishant Sharma get a 5fer at Lord's

 

[nish_mate]

YES!!!!!! my boss thinks I am going mad!!! YES!!!!!

 

[mithun_minhas]

All England has to do is play out the overs without playing aggressive shots. But everyone is trying to be a hero and perishing.

 

[Zeshan547]

So much for the so called next ian botham, get rid of him for God sake, utter rubbish

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Only England's batting could make Ishant look good.

 

[Adil_94]

)

Ishant MA BOY.

The Greatest Pace Bowling Legend.
