England v India | World T20 | Lords | 14/6/09

[saqeeb90]

after 20 overs england are 153-7
is it good enough? i don't think so...

 

[Khabri420]

not a great score, but should be an interesting 2nd innings

 

[Momo]

154 not par.

Barring a historic choke, India should win.

 

[jusarrived]

Harbajan gave 10 wides ? thats poor ..the total wud have been around 140

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

if england lose they deserve it they batted like cowards......but then again maybe its difficult to play shots? anyway good game ahead

 

[Lethal]

Yet we were humiliated by them !!

Yes well Pakistan look a different team without Butt, Tanvir and Arafat.

 

[Khabri420]

I hope England can pull it off

 

[Lethal]

Bopara and Mascharenas killed the game for England.

Wright also played a test match with 1 off 7 balls

 

[saqeeb90]

I hope England can pull it off

it ain't look possible for england bro....
india has good batting side,
lets see how england do with bowling

 

[dblock]

The analysts such as Nasser and Bumble and co for the England side really have been off the mark.

I've heard countless times them mentioning that performance against Pakistan showed England at their best and how they have to play.

They completely missed the point that Pakistan handed so much of the initiative to England. It's been shown in subsequent matches where the opposition simply take their catches and field well and not give away many no-balls England struggle to score runs.

[MIG]

England being put in their place....

 

[jusarrived]

i think its a good total on this pitch , thats wer they probably missed a trick by droping Majid .... we should chase this one , though i doubt it will be easy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Once again, I will repeat myself, why England has not played one of the most lethal hitter in England domestic T20 circuit Graham Napier

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

im not an indian supporter but they have won the first half of this match

 

[SHER-E-PUNJAB]

England being put in their place....

Its not a bad total MIG

 

[161]

I don't think this is a high scoring pitch.

England have a decent chance defending this total if they remove the openers quickly.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

hey r there no english supporters wearing eng outfits?

 

[12thMan]

England needs 2 wickets in first two overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Some of Indian fans [chiru] might think that the catch of Pathan was better than that of Afridi, just because he ran and dived.

 

[saqeeb90]

we will see how awais shah will bowl?
big task for him...

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

peer said sahib says india will lose

 

[RexRex]

anyobdy have a clue as to why sharma was bowling short .... what a dooooof!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

goood take down d leg dot ball

 

[Lethal]

Gambhir and Sharma opening.

Anderson opening the bowling for England.

 

[Lethal]

Lucky Gambhir. Top edges it but no one there.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Lethal]

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Lethal]

Beauty from Anderson.

 

[Lethal]

Good short ball but given as a wide.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Afridi_Fan]

another wide

 

[saqeeb90]

if india loose this dhoni will loose captaincy
indian media will create enough pressure on him to resign,

 

[hasanb]

anderson needs to tighten up! england simply annot afford wides.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good start by india 5 so far

 

[Lethal]

6-0 after 1 over.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

6 for 0 off 1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

6/0 in 1 over

 

[hasanb]

reasonable first over apart from the wides

 

[saqeeb90]

after 1st over india are 6-0

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bottomside to bowl

 

[Lethal]

Sidebottom to bowl

 

[Afridi_Fan]

dot ball

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

if india lose and beat africa?

 

[jusarrived]

if india loose this dhoni will loose captaincy
indian media will create enough pressure on him to resign,

no he wont

 

[Lethal]

Good ball from Sidebottom.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

if eng lose they have another chance against windies says nasser

 

[hasanb]

sidebottom, swann and mascarenhas might just be the canny type of bowlers suited to this pitch.

 

[Lethal]

Chinese cut for 4.

Unlucky Sidebottom

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

lucky 4444444444444444 but 444444 any wayyyyyyyyyy

 

[Momo]

Luck with India at the moment.

 

[jusarrived]

[MIG]

Bottomside has done it...

 

[Khabri420]

Rohit Sharma gone!! Yes yes yes

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

looks like peer sayid sahib was right

 

[Momo]

The best bet against these Indians is short stuff. Most can't handle it.

 

[jusarrived]

one more wicket early , we will struggle

 

[Lethal]

Raina is the new batsman.

 

[Momo]

looks like peer sayid sahib was right

 

[MIG]

Favorite shot is , shake head, shake head, Tendulkar....

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over by side 12 off 2

 

[Lethal]

Good first ball from Sidebottom to Raina.

 

[saqeeb90]

12/1 for india in 2 overs..

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[MIB]

We miss SHEWAG!

 

[Lethal]

Gambhir drives it for 4.
