[Saeed]

Commentator saying that batting will get easier so another boring day after England wasted their chances.

 

[Convict]

This team is actually more English than the one they had a few years back

[carbon11]

[Sam18696]

Big wicket for England

 

[Varun]

Ah damn.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara not easy dislodge once set.

 

[saiyan0312]

Kohli in. Can he show his skills on a swinging pitch.

How draw? Either England wins or India.

They survived the tough portion of this match and as the commentator is saying, its going to be easy from now on. So unless Indian batsman throw it away, they will at least bat today and tomorrow. So unless England collapses, what else you expect? Bowling so far has been horrible.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is what I have been talking about.

Long way to go.

India just have 3 proper batsman.

Score is 50-2.

We are no way out of the danger zone.

 

[Varun]

Come on Kohliflower 150 time!

 

[Adil_94]

Finally Kohli and Pujara the big 2

 

[Batman_DB]

kohli's biggest test

 

[Justcrazy]

Out of this XI 7 were born in England compared to when they had KP Strauss and Trott over half of their team was foreign born.

Interesting stats. Probably this is the trend we are seeing recently.

 

[Aman]

What a shot by Kohli.

 

[Sandeep]

Take that

 

[Electron]

Kohli onting

 

[Varun]

India just have 3 proper batsman.

Four - Vijay, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane.

 

[Varun]

Smack four!

 

[Justcrazy]

This is what I have been talking about.

Long way to go.

India just have 3 proper batsman.

Score is 50-2.

We are no way out of the danger zone.

Indian lower order is effective. They can add useful runs.

Author of new age books

Oh that guy?

Dunno. Why you asking about his opinion.

Akash Chopra was a former Indian opener.

 

[Justcrazy]

What a shot by kohli , pure class. Anushka would be proud of that

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Indian lower order is effective. They can add useful runs.

In this track, their runs are called "fluke" runs.

 

[Aman]

Should bring back Broad, can't let Kohli settle.

 

[Sandeep]

Kohli moving confidently..

 

[Justcrazy]

Oh that guy?

Dunno. Why you asking about his opinion.

Akash Chopra was a former Indian opener.

That was a question asked in cric IQ

 

[Sandeep]

Trademark flick on the legs.. I'm feeling confident!!

 

[Electron]

Kohli looks fluent today.

 

[Sandeep]

Bad.. Damn you Plunkett.. Make this guy work for his runs

 

[Sandeep]

Shot!

 

[Electron]

Great fielding from Anderson. Pujara was too slow for a 3rd I think.

 

[Sandeep]

It's not so easy to flick here with the ball swinging miles. You need to be precise and that is what is

 

[Varun]

Kohli 12 (9)

 

[Varun]

It's not so easy to flick here with the ball swinging miles. You need to be precise and that is what is

He was out LBW in the last test like that though.

 

[Justcrazy]

has an arrogant look about him , that reminds me of Pointing.

 

[Adil_94]

Kohli looking imperious

 

[Saeed]

Kohli has already left Pujara behind in terms of run.

 

[saiyan0312]

Kohli has the right idea. amazing work.

 

[Sandeep]

He was out LBW in the last test like that though.

Yeah.. Mate lets not bring bad memories for some time

 

[saiyan0312]

more. Kohli on ODI mode here.

 

[Sandeep]

Counter attack and change the length of the bowler.. This is a school of batting here

 

[Electron]

Another boundary for kohli. His body language shows amazing sense of authority today.

 

[Justcrazy]

He was out LBW in the last test like that though.

So what ? You will get out to shots , but you do need to back yourself.

 

[Saeed]

Kohli making this seem like interesting.

 

[Sandeep]

72-2 is the par score at Lord's on 1st day 1st session

 

[Varun]

Kohli has already left Pujara behind in terms of run.

Pujara is a tuk-tuk and must be dropped! Should pick Yusuf Pathan!

 

[Justcrazy]

Three boundaries already , kohli looks charged up here.

 

[Saeed]

Can't England find better bowlers than this?

 

[Varun]

Can't England find better bowlers than this?

Hard to believe Plunkett is their third best bowler.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How many overs to go before lunch?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara is a tuk-tuk and must be dropped! Should pick Yusuf Pathan!

Pujara would walk into any test team today. Such is his class.

 

[Sandeep]

Why do you bowl short when it's swinging like this??? epic

 

[Varun]

RR of 2.84 on this thing is good.

 

[Adil_94]

What a pathetic tactic on a green pitch bowling round the wicket back of a length

 

[Justcrazy]

Hard to believe Plunkett is their third best bowler.

Do not think so
Moores is pretty obstinate , makes weird decisions , alot like fletcher.

 

[Electron]

Pujara looked like playing a shot there. Why dead ball ?

 

[Adil_94]

Graham Onions would be a handful on this pitch

 

[Sandeep]

Pujara looked like playing a shot there. Why dead ball ?

Even he was surprised and disappointed

 

[saiyan0312]

Wow in swinging conditions you bowl at the back of the batsmen.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why do you bowl short when it's swinging like this??? epic

The bowlers get excited and try to exert more , need to bowl with mind.

 

[Saeed]

Well time to do something else. Last session will probably be interesting.

 

[Varun]

The English media ruin their bowlers by applying titles like 'enforcer' and stuff and the players buy into the hype.

Plunkett thinks he's a short-ball demon when in reality he's just an ordinary guy who averages 38.37

 

[lilFlip]

Why do you bowl short when it's swinging like this??? epic

Plunkett and other guy aren't accurate.

Dunno about Barbie and Clouderson tho

 

[Adil_94]

Botham unhappy with Cook

 

[saiyan0312]

Bowl full not short bouncers. Pathetic tactic. They dont know who to utlize their own conditions.

 

[Varun]

Botham suggesting spin lol.

Yes, bring Moeen on haha!

 

[saiyan0312]

Spinner at this point. should have tried a pacer.

 

[Varun]

....and Moeen comes on!

 

[saiyan0312]

Botham suggesting spin lol.

Yes, bring Moeen on haha!

yeah maybe they will bowl wicket to wicket. Unbelievable bowling from england and not the good kind.

Nail on the head. This is what I've been thinking right from the Sri Lanka series

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen to bowl final over before lunch.

 

[Aman]

Kohli dropped by Prior.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nail on the head. This is what I've been thinking right from the Sri Lanka series

plunket is a limited over specialist he has always been that.
