England vs India | 2nd Test | Trent Bridge | Day 1 | 29/07/11

[Blitz]

Incredible really. India have already had like 3-4 lbw gone for them in 3 innings. All would have been revesed with DRS.

 

[dinakar]

Erasmus made up for Rauf

 

[Fawad2010]

Is his form down the gutter now?

looked pretty ordinary during the time he stayed on crease!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ishant looks a much better bowler, haircut has done the wonder

 

[sehwag fan]

ishanth

 

[Fawad2010]

Trott comes in

 

[SankarReddy]

Did anyone notice the boring commentary [Bumble & Holding] on Skysports and Star cricket seems to be much better.

 

[NJamal]

Rubbish decision by Erasmus

 

[chaiwala]

Too high, bad decision Erasmus

 

[Fawad2010]

that was a bad decision IMO

Cook was hit above the knee-roll and he was taking a big stride

oh well

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Unlucky Cook

 

[Law]

What a start for umpires

 

[SG]

Good start for India. Its imperative that we get Trott early otherwise he'd prove to be unmovable object.

 

[nish_mate]

Outtt! BCCI strikes!

While the PCB remains a bankrupt begging bowl clown

 

[Fawad2010]

shout

not out

 

[zzebie]

Erasmus made up for Rauf

Naseer saying Cook survived the one he should have been given out, then given on the one that's going over the stumps

 

[SG]

lol. That Rauf decision was good since it went against India but this Cook decision is good since it went for us.

 

[NJamal]

Not Out

 

[chaiwala]

Nope, but excellent bowling Ishant

 

[Eagle_Eye]

We need Dar/Taufel at the the other end!!

 

[IgnitedMind]

well he was give not out of praveen..so made up for it!!

 

[Fawad2010]

grind it out guys, it will get easier

 

[SG]

Naseer saying Cook survived the one he should have been given out, then given on the one that's going over the stumps

Some of these keyboard warriors know more than Nasser does. Of course why won't they? After all, Rauf is from Pak.

 

[NJamal]

7/1

 

[TheHK16]

Trott has the same problem as Mohammad yousuf cant play the full in swinging ball

 

[NJamal]

Indian Ppers here are crying too early in the day.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

good start by India, now playing like the true no.1

 

[chaiwala]

A quick wicket here will put England under lots of pressure.

 

[Fawad2010]

Cook's foot was a good 4-5 inches up on the ground, and the ball hit above knee-roll


he was re-marking his guard when given out

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think england will be out for 170. ishant 6

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Cook was lucky to survive in Praveen's over. That would have been given out on review, even though the onfield umpire gave it not-out, the reason being more than 50% of the ball pitched inline the stumps and was hitting the off below the bails.

The second one was a bad decision from Erasmus.

All the more reason for using DRS for all decisions.

 

[SG]

FTB Cook, 123 runs in 8 innings @ 15.

Woah........

We are just saying its terrible umpiring so far, including Rauuf

 

[SG]

Indian Ppers here are crying too early in the day.

lol, pot, kettle, black?

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Ishant is bowling at good pace and hope continue at that pace. 88/89 mph is good pace.

 

[SG]

We are just saying its terrible umpiring so far, including Rauuf

Its just you, Fawad and not most of your compatriots. And I appreciate that.

 

[NJamal]

8/1

 

[cricketfanfirst]

I clearly mentioned the reason in the above post and the first decision would be OUT even on review. Second one is obviously a wrong one.

 

[IgnitedMind]

We are just saying its terrible umpiring so far, including Rauuf

This. Both very bad decisions..however each made up for the other!!!Atleast..

 

[SG]

We are just saying its terrible umpiring so far, including Rauuf

And I can bet you those warriors would still side by Rauf.

 

[IAJ]

England need to see of the new ball while India would love a couple of more wickets before lunch.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Ishant should pitch up more to get some purchase, he is bowling at good pace.

 

[Blitz]

I clearly mentioned the reason in the above post and the first decision would be OUT even on review. Second one is obviously a wrong one.

No it wouldn't have.

It was umpires decision. So that was marginal, hence not wrong.

 

[SG]

Ishant is bowling at good pace and hope continue at that pace. 88/89 mph is good pace.

He gotta maintain this intensity for most of today.

 

[nish_mate]

Woah........

Unless some1 can prove that PCB the board is nothing of what has been stated the statement stands....

Note the diff. is not Pakistan cricket but the board and was in reply to BCCI buying a wicket...

 

[SG]

No it wouldn't have.

It was umpires decision. So that was marginal, hence not wrong.

See Fawad.

What way I saying? Clearly Nasser doesn't know the basic rules of cricket.

 

[Fawad2010]

No it wouldn't have.

It was umpires decision. So that was marginal, hence not wrong.

yes technically, if reviewed, the ball had to be hitting 100% in order for 3rd umpire to over-turn field umpire and give it out


but enough about that, lets enjoy the match

 

[cricketfanfirst]

No it wouldn't have.

It was umpires decision. So that was marginal, hence not wrong.

Please read the reason sir. If the ball is pitched inline the stumps and hitting the stumps then it is gone. It was not hitting the edges of the stump or at the bails...This will be given not out only for these reasons...else OUT.

Don't give unnecessary face palms.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ishant getting nice swing, great to see.

 

[chaiwala]

LOL Ganguly criticizing India and Wasim is supporting them. Vat is going on??

 

[NJamal]

Ganguly saying India should have batted first.

 

[Blitz]

See Fawad.

What way I saying? Clearly Nasser doesn't know the basic rules of cricket.

...and Holding said on Sky Sports it was a great decision, since he was too far out.


Point is, every cricket expert has a different view.


DRS is the only thing that has no opinion.

And according to DRS, England should be none down.

 

[IgnitedMind]

LOL Ganguly criticizing India and Wasim is supporting them. Vat is going on??

Yeah...but I think bowling was a good decision.

There is a reason why the DRS labels it "umpire's call"

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

LOL Ganguly criticizing India and Wasim is supporting them. Vat is going on??

Good cop, bad cop

Bowling was the right decision, getting nice swing and dream start for India

 

[Fawad2010]

See Fawad.

you are always gonna find people on the extreme ends, just enjoy the action on the field man

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Lots of work ahead of India...England's batting is very strong. Need to use the conditions well.

Yep. Their batting runs as deep as SA in their heydays when Symcox used to bat at 10.

 

[Fawad2010]

Cook's Trent Bridge Test average: 15.37. It's the worst among grounds where he has played more than one Test

Twitter

 

[NJamal]

13/1

 

[SG]

I think we gotta introduce Sree now. Praveen isn't proving much effective and is only wasting the new ball.

Not that Sree isn't capable enough to do that but still at least he'd have a bit of pace.

 

[Fawad2010]

this ground is kinda ugly shape wise i think

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bhajji averaged 40.70 last year and now 36

Common Bhajji

 

[Blitz]

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Harbhajan's average is very bad from the last five years. 40 odd with ball last year. He is a weak link now, he needs to play well in this test.

I really hope he does.


It seems that 'one good test' in 10 has kept him in this team for so long.

[cricketfanfirst]

Good shot from Trott... Wide delivery, bad ball.

England 18/1

 

[Fawad2010]

nice shot that was, easy on the eyes

 

[NJamal]

18/1

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I like Ganguly's commentary, sensible and smart guy. Ganuly and Wasim pair is nice to hear, time to sleep. Bye folks

 

[cricketfanfirst]

I really hope he does.

Absolutely. Already bowling is weakened and he needs to step up, if India needs to compete here.

 

[Fawad2010]

Sreesanth on

 

[Noman]

Sreesanth on guys

 

[chaiwala]

Here comes Sree

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Sreesanth is in...His rhythm in the first few overs will decide for him ... He can swing it thouogh
