Ashwin has to do a Shadab Khan here and somehow manage to get a 50. He's looking decent out there

Not trying to open a can of worms and turn this into India vs Pakistan, but I can risk it since most Indians have left due to their team's performance, but I think this why Shadab-Faheem partnership was absolute gold dust, Pakistan was also in a spot of bother in similar batting conditions but those two took the attack to the English and took us to good score.

Shadab is better than most of our batters. Have not seen much of Fahim to comment
 
Total mismatch - would like to see clouderson & co bowl to the following & see how theyd have got on:

Langer
Hayden
Dravid
Kallis
S Waugh
Chanderpaul
sangakarra

Beat that defence
 
And India opted for a spinner in such conditions. Can't blame them though, yadav looked ordinary in the first game.
 
Ashwin is easily second best bat in this side.

Shadab is already a superb cricketer but fahim's inning was one of like pandya in Johannesburg.
 
James Anderson is only 17 wickets away to surpass Mcgrath in tests.He is currently has 547 test wickets. An all time legend.
 
India must miss bhuvi here. He could have scored runs and have been very good with bowl. Going to lord's tomorrow.

In his own words, “it’s the Mickey Arthur theory”.

And it works.

In fact, Pakistan won the Test against Ireland and at Lords because of Shadab and Faheem.

Lost the Second Test due to Dom Bess scoring a 49 under pressure and India lost due to San Curran playing a 50 under tough conditions in the Second Innings.

You need an all-rounder in these conditions.
 
Ashwin single handedly taking India to some semblance of respectability. This is what happens when you are an honest trier, rather than having a tattoo sleeve, a well sculpted beard, a Bollywood gf, a clothing line or a fancy haircut before anybody even knows who you are.

The batsmen in that list is not unbeatable and Anderson has the ability to beat the best in the business.And he has bowled to most of them in the list. To take nearly 550 test wickets in any era,he is an all time legend.

Are you having a go at Kohli there? Our best batsman on tour and our best batsman overall.
 
Anderson, if getting a five-fer today will have one (or two) more than McGrath; the King of the Lords’ slope.

I think he talking about Pandya and the others. Ashwin is a very under-rated cricketer cause no one put sa value on heart.
 
Have a look at this #1 team everybody.

Can't even score 100 Day 1 of a test match.
 
Varun said:
Can we just go home already.

Almost all the team will struggle in this condition against this attack. Even Ponting's Australia were bundled for only 84 in England against Pakistan.This happens in cricket.India did very well in first test.

Technically it is Day 2..... Also to further add insult to injury tomorrow is supposed to be nice and sunny. England would make hay while the sun shines and get a lead of 150 odd, while Day 4 and 5 are again supposed to be overcast just in time when India gets a chance to bat again. :afridi



Just as I type that India crosses 100.... Mubarak ho :srt
 
w00t 100 babe!

We get on the honours board!

We'll get bundled out rain or shine. Doesn't make a difference.
 
I'll laugh so hard if Shami ends up the top scorer here.

Pandya is a county standard batsman and bowler.

Not even that. He doesn't have 50 first class wickets or 1000 runs, and he's not 19 but 24+. Wot more proof does one need that he's an ordinary cricketer, he's being thrust into international when I m sure he also doesn't feel he deserves that
 
5-20 in the first innings is pure class, Anderson is a top bowler.
 
India competes ALOT better in Australia than in England


While we compete ALOT better in England than in Australia.


It is funny and weird how it happened.
 
"five for Anderson, and 99 wickets for Jimmy Anderson at Lord's" the lord of Lord's :virat
 
If we were going to get bundled out like this, couldn't we have done it 5 overs sooner?

There's not enough time for England to bat now.

No bowler in history can swing the red ball so well in bowling conditions. Still looks fit and as good as he was 5 years ago. Top performance.

AUS requires better batting while ENG requires better bowling.

Much better bowlers and Azhar Ali and shadab, if you talk about recent times.
 
107 all out,best batting line up in the world. Having a good feeling :D

Aus is 10 times batting friendly which is our strong point while england better for pak pacers.

It's because Indian batsmen play bounce well and Pakistan bowlers swing the ball well.
 
All England need to do is score 300.

We'll then walk out with a mountain to climb in our 3rd innings and get bundled out again.

Doesn't even need to go to Day 5. This after a day plus has been lost to rain. What a disgrace.
