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

[nish_mate]

New ball due in 2 overs- take Moeen bhai to the cleaners!

 

[Indiafan]

Pitch is getting easier. so it was one of those fake green tops that last only a while. England messed up. By now england should have been batting.

No. Awful bowling, awful captaincy and a 80 over old ball. Wait till the new ball comes

 

[Arsal_AK]

What are England doing??Absolutely horrendous bowling.

 

[Sandeep]

Awful bowling, uninspiring captaincy! I can see a Dhoni in Cook..

 

[Sandeep]

And Cloudy comes back from dressing room to bowl again. It's ridiculous how these English bowlers are operating..

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Imagine Asif bowling in these conditions!!

 

[Sandeep]

Shot!

 

[Adil_94]

Bhuvi Philander

 

[the Great Khan]

could be a match winning innings this!

 

[Adil_94]

Imagine Asif bowling in these conditions!!

Asif would have finished the innings

 

[the Great Khan]

pitch it up morons!!

 

[khalil1986]

Very impressed with Rahane, if he goes on to score a ton would be one of the better tons by a subcontinent batsman in England as this pitch is full of juice.

 

[the Great Khan]

I haven't seen any of the bowlers bowl an incutters or try and rip it off the seam??

 

[Electron]

Proud of Bhuvi. Smacking the new ball around

 

[Adil_94]

Broad bowling some pathetic stuff here

 

[Electron]

 

[Sandeep]

I really pity the English bowlers. They can bowl only when the conditions favor him

 

[the Great Khan]

see just as I was saying that. use the seam and rip it..

 

[Sandeep]

Great innings from Bhuvan...

 

[Adil_94]

Good decision by Dharmasena

 

[saiyan0312]

Smacking the new ball around. broad got bhuvi but still they allowed bhuvi to make 36 and allowed india to reach 235. This is a very good first innings total considering how the pitch was.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Brilliant knock from Bhuvi.

Bhuvi please give some batting tips to Dhoni and Jaddu.

 

[Electron]

Holyyyyyyyy ! Woww... Smacked over Jimmy's head :6

 

[saiyan0312]

I really pity the English bowlers. They can bowl only when the conditions favor him

conditions are favoring them and they still allowed india to reach 239/. I am starting to doubt the favorable part too.

 

[Adil_94]

India get to 300 in the driving seat

 

[saiyan0312]

rahane you beauty. what a shot. Jimmy is looking very bad.

 

[Adil_94]

What a shot by Rahane.

 

[khalil1986]

Absolutely tremendous batting, this inning may be the start of something.

 

[razabbas]

That six by rahane total class

Bhuvi what a find for Indian team but i hope he wont follow the footsteps of irfan pathan

 

[saiyan0312]

shami now smashes a four. england has been pathetic so far. They got the conditions to suit them and they still cant bowl right

 

[Electron]

Pitch has flattened out for sure. This is a 350-400 run surface now. Had Binny stuck around, this was a very probable score.

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane has earned respect.. What an innings under circumstances

 

[test_fan]

Pitch has flattened out for sure. This is a 350-400 run surface now. Had Binny stuck around, this was a very probable score.

He got a tough one, so can't blame him. Dhoni and Jadeja are to be blamed. Jadeja getting out to a part time spinner is criminal.

 

[khalil1986]

Pitch has flattened out for sure. This is a 350-400 run surface now. Had Binny stuck around, this was a very probable score.

Not his fault he got screwed by umpire.

Pitch has not flattened out at all there is considerable movement off the pitch, 300 on this pitch is a good score hopefully grass stays active till third day.

 

[Electron]

Rahane

 

[razabbas]

Rahane one more six please

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We needed one of Pujara/ Kohli to stick around for longer time ... Rahane well done mate!

I hope pitch remains like this for the next 2 days

by Jinks

 

[razabbas]

Another

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane on 98*.. I urge Shami to accompany him till his century

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

LOL Shami and Sharma have to manage an over somehow ..... tense stuff

Anyways century or not 98* well played Jinkss

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shami gets a single )

 

[Electron]

Broad's moment there.

 

[saiyan0312]

Andersons new ball spell 3 overs and 23 runs. ATG bowler.

 

[Electron]

Not his fault he got screwed by umpire.

Pitch has not flattened out at all there is considerable movement off the pitch, 300 on this pitch is a good score hopefully grass stays active till third day.

If there is still something in the pitch than it just goes to show how pathetic Indian openers are.

 

[razabbas]

Just play this ball shami

 

[Varun]

He deserves a ton.

Shouldn't get stranded like Dravid.

 

[razabbas]

What an awesome by shami =)) =))

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Mohammed SHAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Awesome 4.

Loved that shot the most today.

Now Rahane on strike.

 

[Varun]

England have completely lost the plot.

 

[Electron]

Sublime Hundred

 

[khalil1986]

Tremendous innings, one of the best I have seen.

 

[razabbas]

Awesome knock by shami pure class

 

[Varun]

It's like a T20 out there!

Last 10 ovs 68/1 RR 6.80

 

[Varun]

Yes!

 

[razabbas]

Anderson seems frustated

 

[saiyan0312]

superb stuff there. amazing hundred by rahane. What a player.

 

[Adil_94]

Great hundred rated this guy a lot since i saw him in SA.

 

[razabbas]

That catch by jimmy :

 

[Electron]

Out. Tremendous innings.

 

[saiyan0312]

England not only lost the pitch advantage but also lost any advantage on runs they had. Pathetic to say the least. Very pathetic.

 

[giri26]

I hope England don't complain of the pitch being too green now lol...Sublime hundred by Rahane. His second oversesas. unfortunately gets out immediately after a hundred.

 

[khalil1986]

Rahane out, great innings.

 

[saiyan0312]

tremendous innings and amazing catch. Was bowling like ishant in india but caught like jhonty rhodes there.

 

[Adil_94]

Well played Rahane got your team in a really good position

 

[Electron]

England will face the new ball morning session tomorrow. Not bad at all.

 

[Varun]

Got us to 275, lovely.

 

[khalil1986]

Awesome knock by shami pure class

think you're a little confused.

 

[razabbas]

think you're a little confused.

*Rahane

 

[leatherface58]

DAT field placing. )

 

[Sandeep]

Cook has to be the most clueless idiotic captain in the world along with Dhoni! These two sides deserve better!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

280

 

[EliteCynic]

Rahul Dravid as batting consultant seems to be doing some good for India. At least the tailenders are able to hold a candle on a green pitch like this. The entire psyche of the batting unit seems in +ve frame of mind.

 

[Adil_94]

Lol Cook treating Shami like Sachin with this field placing.

 

[Sandeep]

Only if someone knocks some sense into Dhoni...

 

[desi_launda]

Look at the bounce and carry
Aaron and umesh will be missed

 

[leatherface58]

Why is the field spread out for Shami?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

What is this filed placing!!

 

[leatherface58]

Sir Ishant )

 

[Sandeep]

Pathetic from Cook

I have no complaints sitting in the opposition though

 

[Anfield]

Cook is making sure English cricket is back into 90s era.
