[Jayed]

tendulkar to face again...he's looking quite too nervous however...go on great man...hit him for 6...

 

[Jayed]

40 minutes before lunch..india could finish it off by then, but it looks unlikely with they way dravid and tendu are leaving every ball!!!

 

[Jayed]

its very very very booooooooooring.

 

[MIB]

21.6 Anderson to Dravid, FOUR!!, short of length delivery outside the off stump, Dravid goes on the backfoot and looks to cut it away, flashes it hard this time, outside edge runs it down to third man flying over the slips!!!

 

[Jayed]

dravid with a strike rate of 33. and tendulkar...yes, you guessed it remains with 0

 

[Jayed]

44444444444444444444444 by dravid following tendus singles!!!!

 

[Jayed]

2 runs needed...england need a west indies to win now!!!!

 

[MIB]

[Jayed]

[Jayed]

[MIB]

[Jayed]

[Hari Sombar]

but oooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttt

Are you late or what

 

[Jayed]

Will England Win??

never.

your forgetting india have sourav to come...and ganguly and laxman and dhoni...enough luxury to get 500 runs let alone 11 or 12

 

[Daoud]

Is it possible for both teams to lose. A few more wickets and in a way that may well be the case...

 

[Jayed]

now thats something to tell his grandchildren...tremlett: 'i dismissed sachin tendulkar'

grandchildren; 'wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'

 

[Jayed]

go ganguly go ganguly.....go ganguly....

 

[Jayed]

ganguly is an underachiever lol...he only has like 5000 runs at 41 dead....

 

[Jayed]

2 flicked runs...nice...10 needed i think

 

[MIB]

23.1 Anderson to Dravid, leg byes, FOUR!!, Anderson continues to bowl down the leg side, good length delivery on the middle and leg, Dravid goes on the backfoot and looks to glance it, off the hips to fine leg, Prior almost takes it but just gets a glove

 

[Jayed]

Is it possible for both teams to lose. A few more wickets and in a way that may well be the case...

even if it gets to that point...kumble can bat...

 

[Jayed]

wickets left and runs needed are almost identical..

 

[Hari Sombar]

4 needed

 

[Jayed]

dravid can end it now......

 

[Jayed]

i wish dravid and ganguly went out...and dhoni and laxman next....in a space of like 4 balls...then imagine the drama...

 

[Hari Sombar]

India have won

 

[Jayed]

what a way to spend my summer holiday lunchtime...as the score progresses...

 

[Jayed]

gawd almighty...if only afridi and razzaq were there..73 runs would be done in 3 overs!!

 

[MIB]

24.1 Tremlett to Ganguly, byes, FOUR!!, yorker length delivery on the middle and leg, Ganguly comes on the frontfoot and looks to drive, misses it completely, the ball misses the leg stump and goes to the fine leg fence for four, that is all over and what an anti-climax this is!!!

 

[Jayed]

india win..yea lol

 

[Jayed]

dravid finishes on 11 not out and ganguly on 2 as india n

 

[Rickz]

India win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

 

[MIB]

Winning shot by TREMLETT.....4 byes

 

[purplehaze]

I remember reading somewhere that in past whenever India managed to draw first test match in England they win the series eventually. If that's true, let's see whether Indians can do it again. Chances are high at the moment, congrats & good luck men in blue!

 

[MIB]

If India manages to win the forthcoming oval test then....

India will jump to second spot in ICC test ranking sharing the same with England

Result England India
Current rating: 115 102

Series tied 1-1 113 104
India wins by 1 Test 1-0 111 107
India wins by 2 Tests 2-0 109 109

 

[Tupac]

well done india! Zindabad!

Hash I was only asking cuz u didn't seem to be posting as vigorously as u were when India was losing in the first test.

 

[jackal786]

zaheer had few nice words about Akram at the man of the presentation ceremony.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

More a case of England losing the match than India winning....but commiserations anyway...

 

[Easa]

That was an intense session of play before lunch, with Tremlett and Anderson bowling hostile spells and intimidating the batsman. Quality, top class cricket.

Congratulations India for hanging in there, great win.

 

[Indiafan]

More a case of England losing the match than India winning....but commiserations anyway...

Nah, indian bowlers bowled really well in both innings and deserved it

 

[purplehaze]

I'm listening to GNR number - "Don't you cry tonight, there's heaven above you babe". You like this song?

 

[siddharth]

Naved looking like a kid ,cringing ,whinging.....these things do happen ,very rarely .

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

If that's what is called stating facts, then so be it!

Well cheers for letting us know...

 

[purplehaze]

Well cheers for letting us know...

I prefer singulars over plurals at times.

 

[siddharth]

Naved is trying to cover up his emotions (unsuccessfully)

 

[in_cutter]

Just accept India out-classed England?

 

[kablooee87]

Just accept India out-classed England?

India out-played England, out-classed? Not a chance.

 

[Easa]

Well, don't know what Naved is on about, because India played much better cricket than England in this match. Don't know why you would say England lost the match instead of saying India won the match because India simply bowled England out cheaply and then racked up the runs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Very, very decent win by India. They bowled really, really well, especially Zaheer. They really deserved this win. Congrats!

 

[siddharth]

Well, don't know what Naved is on about, because India played much better cricket than England in this match. Don't know why you would say England lost the match instead of saying India won the match because India simply bowled England out cheaply and then racked up the runs.

That is his nature .Even if he knows and agrees in his mind ,he won't accept openly .Any thing that is related to Indian cricket .

 

[Amir]

) I love how Naved's sarcastic reactions always get an reaction out of the indians!

I have to agree with him on this one. I won't congratulate them either...seeing how they treated their legend Parthiv Patel.

 

[Lightning]

Very well played by India! Zaheer must've really bowled well. Good luck to them and Eng in the next test.
