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

[Sandeep]

Is Clarke the only attacking captain to have ever led a side... Geez

Was talking about the Clarke, the batsman

 

[Random Aussie]

Boring. Have a go you wimps!

 

[Adil_94]

Pujara will destroy England they have absolutely wasted these conditions at least now they have no more excuses

You don't have to be Michael Clarke to score against this bowling, he would have probably batted it the same way. No need to chase ball's outside off.

 

[Adil_94]

Bhuvi and Ishant would be a handful on this pitch

If this was Pakistan batting there would be threads bemoaning tuk tuk

Root looks like a 10 year old.

We would be 40 all out by now

Pakistan bats much slower than this.

Not sure if Pakistan would have survived much here even with this short bowling..

The Hobbit on to bowl now.

 

[lilFlip]

Good job by Indians so far

 

[Saeed]

Bring on Ali. He will surely get a wicket or 2.

Didn't know Stokes was a Kiwi.. How many actual English players are there in England? )

 

[Random Aussie]

Four slips for Stokes?

Lots. In the English team, not so much.

 

[OZGOD]

India caning Engerlund now

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ishant's bowling is going to fun in this track.

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

Oh my goodness just seeing the match, the pitch has more grass than the outfield .. Never Never seen a wicket like this..

 

[OZGOD]

Ishant's not going to bowl for two days; it will be flatter than a roti by then I reckon

 

[saiyan0312]

Can anyone explain what type of pitch is this? the way india are going looks like there is seam and bounce.,

 

[Sandeep]

Run Broad run

 

[Sandeep]

Lots of swing, seam and bounce.. only for the English to waste the new ball

You wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the pitch and outfield... Pitch at times looks like it has more grass than the outfield, never seen anything like this..

 

[Random Aussie]

The English seam bowlers averages are 30, 30, 37 and 38 runs per wicket.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ishant 10 wickets in an innings

Haha....you are beating me in my own game.

 

[Aman]

Stokes is an average cricketer.

Like the reverse of those ones in India with a lush green outfield and the pitch is completely dirt.

 

[Sandeep]

38, 32, 30, 28.. That's Indian bowlers

Edit: 28 is for Jadeja

 

[Adil_94]

Worst new Ball bowling I've seen on a green pitch. I remember we got one of those fake green pitches in UAE vs SL last year on the first day it was seaming around Junaid and Bhatti bowled out the Lankans for 198. But after that the pitch flattened out into a road ended in a draw

As Akash Chopra said:

In this kind of pitch you need 2 things. Great technique and a big slice of luck.

He is the new Botham don't you know

[saiyan0312]

I take my question back. Massive swinging conditions. that was a massive ripper from stokes. Oh

Bar one or two innings, has he done anything?..

 

[Saeed]

England is trying hard to kill the test cricket.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Still the ball is swinging and seaming.

Nothing to gloat.

India have its work cut out.

Cool to face Bhuvi in this track...

amazing stuff from india that they are lasting soo long and pathetic by england as india should have been 3 to 4 down by now.

Come again? I mean, why do you think so?

Thanks. You are right. alot of grass on the pitch.

 

[Saeed]

Come again? I mean, why do you think so?

Because of the ball just bowled.

 

[Varun]

Went on a 11-minute phone call and am back to see that we're 10 runs ahead and haven't lost a wicket. Good signs!

 

[Sandeep]

Some rippers!

 

[Aman]

They haven't really been put to the test tbh

Lots of luck in between..

 

[saiyan0312]

Wasim akram would have gotten a 10-0 on this pitch.

 

[Random Aussie]

Who Deepak Chopra?

Author of new age books

 

[Electron]

England bowling too short. Fuller ones are too much outside off.

 

[Sandeep]

Survived whatever rippers thrown at us and scored off the bad balls with luck sometimes.. Nothing uninteresting I see

 

[Batman_DB]

good from india so far but still 30mins to lunch they need to survive or else handwork ill be undone

 

[Sandeep]

Wasim akram would have gotten a 10-0 on this pitch.

Watch Bhuvi, Wasim bhai's reincarnation do it here tomorrow..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I did say before this series that India is going to surprise a few.

The results from NZ and SA may not have gone in our favor but what we saw there was some very good cricket from India who just couldn't close out the games when it mattered.

Still long way to go.

With terrors like Dhoni and Jaddu as batsman, we have a long way to go.

 

[Aman]

Not enough probing deliveries by England, they need to try get a few together to build some pressure on the batsmen.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

England helping India but will India use it?

That's the goshtion.

 

[Adil_94]

I agree with you he looks nothing special atm

Poms should have utilized the toss better hete.

Nope, this is going to be another draw.

If india get 350 here , poms could be under pressure.

 

[carbon11]

english bowling has been very average so far

this pitch is very much a greentop lots of grass, sultry conditions and they haven't even made the indian batsmen play enough.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Nope, this is going to be another draw.

How draw? Either England wins or India.

 

[Batman_DB]

pujara doing a dravid? reminds me of headingly 2002

 

[Aman]

What an ugly way to get out.

 

[saiyan0312]

vijay gone. What a fall there.

 

[Batman_DB]

vijay couldn't survive the 1st session damn
