England v India | 4th Test | August 7-9, 2014 | Manchester

[mithun_minhas]

New ball almost getting wasted. Pitch has softened up a bit.

Enlgand all set to humiliate our bowlers once again.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pankaj will not get any wickets bowling darts.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Does Pankaj even know how to bowl a bouncer?

 

[desi_launda]

England should bat 3 days and bowl out India on the last day

 

[cricfan967]

Bhuvi's created some movement, Pankaj has been ordinary.. should be changed for Varun before the new ball's completely wasted.

 

[Fastandfurious]

lol at the fans getting bored by Indians trundling.

 

[Convict]

I bet you would love to sledge the traitor next year when the Aussies come over to Old Blighty.

If he makes it.
But yes, I'm looking forward to it

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ohh God!!!

Why Pankaj why???

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What a ball.

Thank You Robson.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good.

Finally one that swung back in.

Robson gone.

 

[Noddy]

That's a Jaffa - Robson who looked very vulnerable with the edge of his bat, has his pole pegged with one that swung, then seamed.....Well bowled.

India needed that....and follow up...

 

[Fastandfurious]

Bye Bye Robson. Clearly not opening material. Doesn't know where his off stump is.

 

[leatherface58]

Robson has been a flop this series. Maybe go back to Nick Compton or Carberry?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ohh God!!!

Why Pankaj why???

Pankaj actually bowls good deliveries but bowls a few bad ones too.

No pressure gets built by this approach.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Now that India got the only walking wicket in English team, normal operations will resume. England to score nicely.

 

[DrSchultz]

Hate to see trundler getting wickets. Would rather Pankaj gets them.

 

[Adil_94]

Robson the Fake Pom is gone. Looks very mediocre

 

[lilFlip]

What a gem BK. Pwns batsman!!
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[Fastandfurious]

That's not a Jaffa, it's just bad batting by Robson.

 

[Convict]

Robson has been a flop this series. Maybe go back to Nick Compton or Carberry?

Test Cap # 666 - Alex 'Beast' Hales

 

[mithun_minhas]

Where is Aaron?

Cook getting nicely settled in. No pressure on him at all.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Hate to see trundler getting wickets. Would rather Pankaj gets them.

Trundler has skills.

Punk-aj is bowling darts.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Get Aaron in.

If that doesn't work, bring Ashwin against lefties.

We don't have much to defend.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Bowl on the pads Punk and give easy runs.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Pankaj Stink is rubbish. Hasn't bowled one damn bouncer. You're 6'4-5 dude with a short leg waiting for you to bowl one.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

That's not a Jaffa, it's just bad batting by Robson.

Agreed but the ball was very very good considering he was setup very well with outswingers.

 

[Justcrazy]

3 more runs

25 / 1

 

[Fastandfurious]

Robson has been a flop this series. Maybe go back to Nick Compton or Carberry?

Carberry would feast on these trundlers.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

At this rate, Pankaj is bound to get dropped forever.

Ishant is anyway coming back next match.

See, this is advantage of 5 bowlers.

If 1 turns out crap, not all hope is lost (yet).

 

[Fastandfurious]

Agreed but the ball was very very good considering he was setup very well with outswingers.

Yes, it was a good ball no doubt.

 

[mithun_minhas]

How many overs does MSD has to see before he decides that Punk is useless?

Get Aaron in and see what he has..

 

[Justcrazy]

wicket for India

 

[Fastandfurious]

Dhoni needs to release the secret weapon here.

 

[mithun_minhas]

No wonder Ballance is feasting on our bowlers.

Too many hit me deliveries.

 

[desi_launda]

wicket for India

exactly how slow is your stream

 

[Justcrazy]

India need to make sure they have fielders at right positions , cannot give away too many boundaries

 

[Electron]

We should be seeing Aaron next over.

 

[Fastandfurious]

If Balance can handle the spinners in SC somewhat decently, this guy will average 50.

 

[Anfield]

At this rate, Pankaj is bound to get dropped forever.

Ishant is anyway coming back next match.

See, this is advantage of 5 bowlers.

If 1 turns out crap, not all hope is lost (yet).

5 bowlers is good but you think on this pitch having 2 spinners is a good idea? This is a fast pitch.. I think spinners bowl would come nicely on to the bat.. might get extra bounce though..

 

[Justcrazy]

exactly how slow is your stream

No , its me who is slow

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Nice package with Sachin and Warne.

Sachin is such a likable cricketer.

Time and again...You prove you are an Indian..those repeated Digs at Pak team and all that..

Why not change that flag also mate??

 

[Noddy]

11 over's gone and 33 knocked off.

Here's the bowling change, people wanted.....Aaron plays his 1st Test in England and gets a bowl.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 bowlers is good but you think on this pitch having 2 spinners is a good idea? This is a fast pitch.. I think spinners bowl would come nicely on to the bat.. might get extra bounce though..

India should go in with two spinners , spinners would squeeze the runs

 

[Electron]

142kph, first ball

 

[battler]

pankaj is so mediocre lol

 

[Kianig89]

Waiting for w
Varon malcolm aaron

 

[Fastandfurious]

Here he comes!!!!!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Here he comes

 

[Justcrazy]

Ishwar pandey deserved a game

 

[lilFlip]

mid/high 80s

 

[Electron]

Decent over so far.

 

[Kianig89]

A 170 plus lead will be handy

 

[Electron]

144kph.. He should get quicker with the spell.

 

[Kianig89]

Phaast bowler: wahab

 

[Electron]

145kph now, wide ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aaron can easily hit 140 km mark

 

[lilFlip]

Accuracy
seems to be hes trying too much to get pace

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Almost yorked Cook...whoahh

 

[Justcrazy]

When we will see Ashwin

 

[Justcrazy]

Accuracy
seems to be hes trying too much to get pace

That is why he has been selected, to bowl fast.

 

[Fastandfurious]

No need for accuracy here, Aaron needs to go all out.

 

[Noddy]

Break in play as the far end has footholds get some attention form the groundstaff.

Can Varun make something happen?

 

[Electron]

Phaaaaast bouncer !! Pace is good

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Hahahahahahahaha

) )

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Lagandaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy fast bowler.

 

[Noddy]

He sure does!!!!!

England captain falls for 17, pulling down to long leg and the big lad Pankaj takes the catch......

Varon 1.1 overs, 1 for 1 so far!

36/2, Bell and Balance in.

 

[Straight_Drive]

oh yeah....cook back to where he belongs

 

[leatherface58]

Pankaj can catch for others though no one does for him.

 

[Noddy]

Bounces Bell and Bell misses the pull by miles....Was no where in line...WOW......

 

[Fastandfurious]

As I said, Aaron is going to blow out England here.

 

[Electron]

Bell beaten with bounce, then gets beaten with fuller length.

 

[Electron]

144kph... Aaron beating the bat almost every delivery.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Good tactics here by Aaron.

 

[Noddy]

Over spoilt with a leg stump half volley that allows Bell to get away.

 

[Fastandfurious]

No problem here. Keep at it Aaron.

 

[Convict]

was the last test a dead cat bounce?

 

[lilFlip]

That is why he has been selected, to bowl fast.

Always good to see pacers

 

[Fastandfurious]

Kumar Bouncer!

 

[Fastandfurious]

Out of gas now, needs a rest.
