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

[Electron]

Bounce getting difficult to handle now. Some keeping low, some rising up steeply.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 79 runs here. Slowly increasing

 

[Batman_DB]

the pitch is quite uneven

 

[cricket geek]

Pujara

 

[Justcrazy]

India leading 93 so far.

 

[cricket geek]

Pujara

 

[Batman_DB]

huge wicket pujara gone

 

[Adil_94]

Pujara gone another start wasted.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need couple of wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Finally a wicket for poms.

 

[Adil_94]

Kohli gone failing again at the start of a series

 

[Electron]

Kohli !! hahahahaahah .. He was practicing leaving the balls a while ago.. LOL

 

[Batman_DB]

golden duck for virat

 

[leatherface58]

) Kohli

 

[giri26]

Another start for pujara and he does not kick on...this is becoming a pattern.

 

[Batman_DB]

kohli not concentrating enough

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need couple of wickets here.

The poms have heard me

 

[cricfan967]

As entertaining as Cricket gets, loving it

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahane in .....

 

[Electron]

I am sad for our team, but Kohli is the second player after Ponting who I enjoy seeing get rattled. onting

 

[Batman_DB]

england right back in it pujara and vijay was taking it away from them

 

[Justcrazy]

Test cricket at its best .

 

[Justcrazy]

I am sad for our team, but Kohli is the second player after Ponting who I enjoy seeing get rattled. onting

The series is not over can still come back , any time

 

[Justcrazy]

Can poms get a few more before stumps

 

[Justcrazy]

300 runs would be tough to chase here.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Our best btsman BK is yet to come.

Kohli is a tailender in Tests anyway.

 

[Robert]

Terrible bowler, Plunkett. He'll never get the opposition's best batsmen out clean bowled first ball. There must be someone better in England than this bloke.

 

[lilFlip]

SO you are the Indian version of our own [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[Sakss]

Kohli having a terrible series so far

 

[Electron]

The series is not over can still come back , any time

Inshallah

 

[trogger]

Really is shaping up as a classic test, chase of around 260 would be perfect.

 

[Electron]

SO you are the Indian version of our own [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Nop, he is too neutral and honest about things. I am not

 

[mithun_minhas]

This gives Murli vijay license toscore the next 30 runs in 300 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Vijay has been hard to dislodge , keeping one end safe.

 

[leatherface58]

Rahane gone! India falling apart after Pujara's brainfade.

 

[lilFlip]

Poor Rahane gets BCCId

 

[cricfan967]

Wow, India in shambles

[Haz95]

Haha Indias lack of DRS once again hurting em

 

[cricfan967]

Arm guard made a woody sound, but that's what you get for refusing DRS!

[Saeed]

Sorry to say but Indians threw this one away.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahane gone

 

[desi_launda]

Another terrible decision.

Umpires use this DRS excuse to give terrible decisions against India.and they say BCCI buys umpires and controls cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

DRS should be made must , not on agreement between boards.

 

[Justcrazy]

Captain cool in

 

[Sakss]

No one should complain about the decision when its India's choice not to go with DRS... you make a ditch and fall in it yourself

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead crosses 100 runs.

 

[Batman_DB]

india is in big trouble now need some lower order magic

 

[Sakss]

India facing the short ball music

 

[giri26]

Pujara's wicket causes another collapse. Being India's best player, he needs to kick on after getting starts.

 

[Justcrazy]

Vijay needs to stay on and rest have to bat around him

 

[Justcrazy]

How much can be the target ? Any gusses ?

 

[Electron]

India's choice or not, everyone has a right to complain about incompetent umpiring.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think 250 plus would make test intetesting.

 

[lilFlip]

Plunkett is a different bowler when he doesn't bowl short length

 

[trogger]

Another terrible decision.

Umpires use this DRS excuse to give terrible decisions against India.and they say BCCI buys umpires and controls cricket.

India have the power the population and the money and yet they produce zero world class umps and then they ignore an alternative system which stops umps from making such obvious errors so of course people are going to blame them and they deserve that blame.

 

[giri26]

India will do well to post 200 for England to chase, anything more that will be a bonus

 

[Batman_DB]

MSD and his technique lol

 

[Sakss]

India's choice or not, everyone has a right to complain about incompetent umpiring.

Well choice is urs to make.. No one is holding you guys back to choose DRS>

 

[Robert]

I think 250 plus would make test intetesting.

I doubt poms can chase 200.

 

[Sakss]

Loving the battle between Broad and Dhoni

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Indians are destroyed.

Its our mistake coupled with Rahane unfortunate decision.

 

[BlackThunder]

MS taking a few for the team. At least doing something right.

 

[Sakss]

That was pad first but outside the line

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What a way to throw away a test match?

What's there to say this isn't a great batting track?

 

[BlackThunder]

250 is a winning total on this pitch against this English batting lineup. Our tail including MS need to wag a little and we will be fine.

 

[Electron]

Well choice is urs to make.. No one is holding you guys back to choose DRS>

The ones against DRS are BCCI, the ones complaining here are Indian fans.

Maybe BCCI don't have a right to complain, but Indian fans do have a right to criticize the umpires and demand better umpiring standards. Its not the first time umpires seem to be using BCCI's anti-DRS stance as a cushion for the howlers made against India.

 

[desi_launda]

any track can be a minefield when umpires give decisions like that

 

[BlackThunder]

Prior is doing is level best to gift us some runs, deserves a look in the IPL

 

[Sandeep]

200 is a winning score here..

 

[Adil_94]

Rahane got a shocker

 

[Adil_94]

Umpire standards have gone down a lot thats why DRS is needed

 

[Adil_94]

Vijay got away with that one a streaky shot

 

[trogger]

India's choice or not, everyone has a right to complain about incompetent umpiring.

The other teams found a way to overcome human error and they called it DRS, if india don't want that then live with the mistakes or tell us how to produce flawless umpires.

People just don't want to here whinging from fans of a team that produces no quality umpires and also refuses to use available technology to overturn mistakes.

 

[Adil_94]

Really love Gangulys commentary work

 

[Adil_94]

Dhoni living dangerously

When I see poor umpiring, I will criticize that. What makes you so upset about it ?

 

[Electron]

I remember half the Indian team being handed Test match bans for appeals which weren't even 25% of whats going on here.

 

[FreakCricket]

Kholi will be in form for ODIS, he is practicing how to get out when the bowl is outside the off stump.

 

[trogger]

Well you say it's your right to demand better umpiring standards, demand from who exactly?

Do you think teams are deliberately producing umpires who make mistakes?

I will say again if it's so easy to produce flawless umps at this level why does india which has more resources than rest of the cricket world combined fail to produce even one half decent umpire for tests?

The logical solution rather than waiting for perfect umpires which are never arriving is to use technology which corrects mistakes made by the umps.

 

[Arsal_AK]

This not going to get them anywhere.Two wickets here and India will be left with Dohni and Jadeja.

See, I said so.
