[KingKhanWC]

misfield, 2 runs.

England must have the best tail in world cricket.

 

[Fawad2010]

Bhaji is still mad at Sreesanth

 

[AZ]

Oh dear, Sree is tearing up...

 

[James]

Best. Misfield. Ever!

We should have a Harby smiley to accentuate amusing moments and posts. He really is that crap.

 

[KingKhanWC]

One day field for Sree, lol.

this is the funniest thing of the series so far. 8 down for 160 and men patrolling the ropes.

 

[nish_mate]

Get harby off the field!!

injure him if you need to!!!

 

[Mohsin]

Oh dear, Sree is tearing up...

))))

He's expecting a slap at the end of the day. Of all the bowlers to do it to Sree!

 

[NJamal]

166/8

 

[Fawad2010]

Get harby off the field!!

injure him if you need to!!!

)

Have I made it Large?

 

[Mohsin]

Btw im at work so not watching...what was the mis-field?

 

[James]

Reverse sweep into forward defensive by Swann to Harby. That is awesome!

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

this is the funniest thing of the series so far. 8 down for 160 and men patrolling the ropes.

I'd even understand if it was KP batting. But to Broad and Swann ?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

lmao...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

hahahahaha

 

[Fawad2010]

chance missed

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

And for crying out loud, with everyone on the boundary ropes, and tail enders slogging, Harhajan should be flighting the ball inviting the heave-ho. Instead he's bowling at 95 kph. What the hell?

 

[AZ]

In the air aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.......SAFE! )

 

[James]

Btw im at work so not watching...what was the mis-field?

Straightforward dot ball at backward point, Harby did a cross between a forward roll and a sausage roll over the ball and missed it by a metre

 

[NJamal]

Lol ball in the air and fell safe between three fielders.

 

[KingKhanWC]

in the air but harbajhan and couldn't get there. lol

This is brillitant stuff, shame I have to go out.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

ohh

 

[nish_mate]

)

Have I made it Large?

He certainly has in terms of losing it

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Get harby off the field!!

injure him if you need to!!!

)......

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

good approach by england after teaa

 

[NJamal]

by Broad

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

:4

 

[Warfare]

Barbie Broad is having a fun time here

 

[NJamal]

173/8

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Go on my son!

Swann is right up for it!

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Crucial period for both teams.... India seems to have let it slip

 

[AZ]

That's more like it! Slapped over midwicket!

 

[Fawad2010]

How will they treat PK?

 

[Cricfan4eva]

On the bright side, batting doesn't look so difficult now does it?

200 on cards now for England.

 

[NJamal]

Kumar into attack

 

[Blitz]

Who was bad-mouthing Wasim Akram for taking a lot of tail-ended wickets?


Wickets are wickets, and tail enders can cost you some massive matches.

 

[shan]

Damn Romali was right, India cant get tail out.

 

[ads101]

good mini recovery here by Broad and Swann.

Can't believe that by Bell, absolutely threw it away. The guy's got phenomenal technique, good against pace and spin, and the cricketing ability to score on tough pitches. Just doesn't have the brain, pressure gets to him again and again. Really disappointing.

Hardly surprising that he threw it away a run away from England's top score. Mental nutcase.

Hope he redeems himself in the second innings.

 

[AZ]

Parveen "Cricinfo's Darling" Kumar back on to bowl.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Very good partnership from Swann/Broad!

 

[NJamal]

50 partnership between these 2.

 

[James]

And for crying out loud, with everyone on the boundary ropes, and tail enders slogging, Harhajan should be flighting the ball inviting the heave-ho. Instead he's bowling at 95 kph. What the hell?

Yeah mate, he's a dud bowler. I don't care how many wickets he's got - he is inconsistent, moody and brainless. Some people still refuse to accept it but their numbers are diminishing.

 

[AZ]

Single and that's the fifty partnership.

Love it.

 

[Fawad2010]

On the bright side, batting doesn't look so difficult now does it?

200 on cards now for England.

Runs are flowing because Englishmen are taking risks and Indians are bowling short balls, need to bowl full on this pitch!

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Watch next ball go between 2 slips.

 

[AlizeeFan]

England has already got a very good score here.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

No wonder, the english tail saved England in SA...Need to finish this off...Good psychological blow as well... Well done by Swann/Broad...

Bell is a tool.

Wide and flashed thru gully!

 

[NJamal]

Another by Broad

 

[Warfare]

Broad is having a field day!

 

[cricketfanfirst]

This could be a crucial partnership in the match...India bowling very badly after tea, lots of short stufff....

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

[AZ]

Slogged and just over deepish mid-on! )

 

[mithun_minhas]

Can anyone bowl a friggin Yorker to Swann?

India should have picked up an extra batsman in the place of Bhajji... He is useless outside of India

 

[James]

Afridi-esque stuff from Broad. This is brilliant!

Test cricket is always best as a spectacle in England. By miiiiiles.

 

[Fawad2010]

Crowd booing the fielder for stopping the ball from reaching the boundary

 

[NJamal]

181/8

 

[Mohsin]

Crowd booing the fielder for stopping the ball from reaching the boundary

Barmy-Army! Barmy-Army!

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Harbhan singh's inclusion on this pitch is mystery to many...But Dhoni always has his own plans

 

[ads101]

India have bowled well, but they're bowling rubbish to the tailenders now.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

test cricket in englaand=top class

 

[NJamal]

Teeli back into attack

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Great batting by Broad!!!

what a player he's! He gave England 2 vital victories (1 against Pakistan and one against India) with all round effort. This could be his 3rd vital contribution!!!

Carry on

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Tata add - "Values stronger than steel"..... )

sorry for the offtopic

 

[cricketfanfirst]

what a comeback from English tail...good positive batting has shattered all plans here of closing in low total...

 

[Mohsin]

test cricket in englaand=top class

Ditto x 1000000

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

broad doesnt have a bad average

 

[James]

'I am a passenger, and I ride and I ride...'

 

[Blitz]

Can anyone bowl a friggin Yorker to Swann?

India should have picked up an extra batsman in the place of Bhajji... He is useless outside of India

Nope, he's useless everywhere:

 

[cricketfanfirst]

This is the time. we need some bowlers who can bowl yorkers at good pace

 

[AlizeeFan]

Predict the score at which England will declare their inning.

 

[Blitz]

Great shot for

 

[Eagle_Eye]

England in ODI mode here....
