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

[Straight_Drive]

This is the second time I am seeing a player bleed from an Indian bouncer
Pathan injured a Zimbabwe player in Australia in 2004

i remember srinath broke through the grill of the helmet of a srilankan player ....he was bleeding badly

2.5 days left, England should wrap this up in 3 sessions.

England will really miss Broad if he cant bowl he look seriously injured. Woakes and Jordan both combined are not good enough to replace Broad. Chance of Rain is 90% tomorrow and Shower expected on Monday too so i think India can save it.

Woakes seems to have no clue about Pankaj's deliveries.

You kiddin me right ? It was just a little cut somewhere around nose. Broad looks fine.

Even if rain spoils 50% of the remaining match, there is still more than enough time to get a result. But if it rains like crazy, then maybe.

 

[Electron]

I was wrong above. It looks worse for Broad.

 

[cricfan967]

Warne taking a crack at Root

 

[Straight_Drive]

come on aaron one more bouncer and take out anderson

 

[Aman]

lol? Aaron didn't didn't get it chin high, it took the edge of Broads bat..

 

[Munna]

He's a pretty boy - Shane Warne about Broad

 

[Nuekboi]

USA chanting in the crowd? wut!?!

 

[Nuekboi]

Cook DECLARE GODDAMIT

 

[Adil_94]

Jadeja bowling like Phil Taylor

 

[Electron]

Cook needs to declare !

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Innings defeat coming up.

 

[Adil_94]

Jadeja gets Jimmy

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dart.

Tried to flick.

Missed.

Plumb LBW.

 

[Adil_94]

Why is Broad not bowling.

 

[Adil_94]

Why are there 2 threads on this game

 

[nish_mate]

India to save the game....

All innings defeat doomsayers slit your wrists and end your miserable stay

 

[leatherface58]

Why is Broad not bowling.

Barbarella got a hickey from Aaron.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I believe some of the batsmen are going to grit it out.

If players like Kohli, Pujara, Gambit have any spine, they will put a heavy price on their wicket.

 

[leatherface58]

Gambhir looks like a tailender.

 

[Straight_Drive]

Why is Broad not bowling.

haha....aaron broke the barbie doll

 

[mithun_minhas]

One good thing with Gambit is, if he gets a start, he will not throw it away. He has a brain unlike Dhawan.

 

[nish_mate]

Che and Kohl have lost it....Che not looking interested since he got married and put on weight

Kohl need to go back to domestic circuit

 

[mithun_minhas]

Gambhir looks like a tailender.

His best days are behind him. He was once upon a time a very good player and was one of the best openers around.

I don't think Indians are good at batting out time. Despite broad not being there, I think Eng should win it with all cloud cover. Don't forget that one dude bowls very well and can win games if he has cloud behind him.

My prediction, Eng win from here on. Frankly, Eng deserve to win after being so much ahead. Hopefully, Broad gets better soon.

You supporting India this series?

Just curious.

 

[Buffet]

You supporting India this series?

Just curious.

Pretty much neutral in this series.

 

[RexRex]

How did he get back into the team - recent domestic performances ?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

How did he get back into the team - recent domestic performances ?

Yup.

 

[Adil_94]

Barbarella got a hickey from Aaron.

Still i'd expect him to bowl not like he a broke finger ot something.

 

[Adil_94]

Gambhir looks out of place in this Indian team i always associate him with the Old Indian team

 

[Straight_Drive]

Still i'd expect him to bowl not like he a broke finger ot something.

it is hard to run with a broken nose...

 

[Adil_94]

it is hard to run with a broken nose...

Didnt Kumble bowl with a broken jaw. With some pain numbing injections Broad should be fine.

 

[Straight_Drive]

kumble is a spinner he doesn't have to run before bowling...i have had nose surgery so I know it is hard to move with nose all clogged up...depends how bad his injury is

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Didnt Kumble bowl with a broken jaw. With some pain numbing injections Broad should be fine.

That was a super human effort by him.

Neverthless, ECB has some concussion protocols or something (I heard).

 

[Buffet]

Relax, Broad doesn't need to bowl for Eng to win. He really took a nasty hit.

 

[WebGuru]

I was wrong above. It looks worse for Broad.

lol man that was cut? Our barbie doll is hurt and you are calling it a cut

Yes the key to win this match are clouds and the man who utilize them the best

 

[lilFlip]

Without Broad, James will get tired soon and Indians should negotiate rest

 

[nish_mate]

If India can survive today we will draw it

 

[Electron]

Gambhir has no technique these days. He barely survives overs.

 

[Straight_Drive]

bring on ali....we need to take revenge

 

[Electron]

Beauty from Jordon to finish the over.

 

[Kwremb]

I dont know which team to support, I want both the teams to lose, how is that possible?

 

[Kwremb]

I think i'll settle for India losing, personally hate vegans

 

[nish_mate]

Moeen bhai on....

 

[Adil_94]

Sir Jimmy trundling

 

[Adil_94]

Pujara will get a big one.

 

[Buffet]

Pujara will get a big one.

He didn't get a big one for a while now but if he can consume lots of overs then that will take Indians towards safety. I will still bank Eng to win here because I don't remember when was the last time Indians batted out time to save any test.

 

[Adil_94]

He didn't get a big one for a while now.

I think with no Broad Indian batsmen will cash in

There is a lot of rain forecast for Days 4 and 5. If the Indians can survive this session they will go a long way to saving this game

 

[Buffet]

But cloud and Anderson may be enough for Eng. He just needs 1 good spell, only 9 more to go. Let's see.

 

[Buffet]

Oh, I was under the impression that 5th day will get 2 sessions.

 

[mithun_minhas]

No swing for Meghnath so far.

 

[Buffet]

8 more to go. One spell from a bowler will win it for Eng. Plenty of time left.

 

[leatherface58]

Tailender Gambhir gone. Will be replaced by another.

 

[Electron]

Gambhir

Time to give Dhawan and Gambhir a permanent kick out.

 

[battler]

Gambit

 

[BlackThunder]

You know your best is behind you when Clouderson gets you on a sunny day.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Meghnath gets Gambit.

Pathetic way to get out. Caught down the leg.

Seriously. England bowling is lacking tooth this innings and yet Indians are throwing their wickets away.

Gambit should have left the ball which was going down leg. Faint tickle down the leg and Butler takes it.

 

[Electron]

Pujara

 

[hur rizvi]

MAulvi Moen strikes India in lots of bother..

Kohli is due for a big one

 

[Nuekboi]

2 in a row for england

 

[Buffet]

Crappy decision from umpire here. He was so far in front. There was so much turn and bounce.

 

[mithun_minhas]

How is that out? Very brave decision from Umpire.

 

[MRSN]

Lol Moeen continues to haunt Indian batsmen..

 

[Buffet]

How is that out? Very brave decision from Umpire.

Nothing brave about it. Bad decision there. Gives a big chance to Eng now. Pujara was the one guy who could have consumed many overs.

 

[hur rizvi]

Unlucky Pujara

 

[Nuekboi]

it was MISSING?!? Pujara should have reviewed... OH WAIT LULZ

 

[mithun_minhas]

Horrendous decision.

I thought it was a very brave decision and I am right.

No DRS and India in trouble.

 

[Straight_Drive]

poor decision ...ali gets a freebee

 

[Adil_94]

Unlucky Pujara another one for DRS.

 

[mithun_minhas]

The problem with Pujara's decision is that Pujara got a huge stride in the front and the ball hits him just above knee roll. When I saw it live, I thought it clearly looked not out.

Umpire had to be really brave to give it out. Umpire tried to be a hero and failed.

 

[Buffet]

Unlucky Pujara another one for DRS.

I think it's simple poor umpiring here. I don't think many umpires used to give batsmen out when he is so much in front and ball is spinning+bouncing. I am talking about before DRS time so it's not DRS issue. It's simply a poor decision.

 

[Nuekboi]

Seriously mr umpire?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Umpires trying their best to give England another wicket here.

How is that even worth reviewable?

Yeah it didnt look out. I was surprised it was given.

Decisions like these was exactly why DRS was invented, so its just stupid that its not there
