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

[Blitz]

Why does he do all these routines and rituals, when they obviously don't work?

I mean, Nadal does stuff like that......but its hard to argue against him.

 

[NJamal]

Sree into attack

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ok sreesanth is bowling, one of my favorite entertainers, i'll wait for a while

 

[Blitz]

Good shot I think.

 

[Noman]

A bit of swing off line four runs

 

[IgnitedMind]

sree has put on weight??

 

[Fawad2010]

edged on the legside

 

[chaiwala]

Sree getting some movement

Let's see if he can get that line right

 

[Law]

First Ball.. :

 

[cricketfanfirst]

One thing Sreesanth will do is, he will pitch up more than Ishant.

 

[Fawad2010]

Trott is very strong on the leg side

 

[SG]

Was it Strauss or Vaughan at whom Sree bowled a beamer 4 years ago at this very venue?

 

[Noman]

Sree will get wickets I feel...

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Beautiful delivery ...pitched up ..Good start

 

[Fawad2010]

Trott is gone

HUGE wicket

 

[Blitz]

Sreesanth!

))

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTT Trott

 

[chaiwala]

Gone!!!!!!!

 

[12cavalry]

what a stupid shot to play

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Out...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sreee Strikes what a start

 

[chaiwala]

That was a genuine wicket taking ball! Late outswing

 

[SG]

Sree gets Trott.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Nice start by India...But lots of work is pending. KP is coming in...Need to get him out quickly...

 

[IgnitedMind]

Awesome.

Personally, I dont think sree is a great bowler..he def is underrated due to his antics.

 

[bantu]

Just logging in.............sreesanth strikes...Trott out......... :

 

[Blitz]

Pressure on Peterson now. Lets see if he can follow his Lords heroics.

 

[SG]

Trott's average below 60 now.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

The conditions are ripe for some geniune swing bowling BUT we need to utilise them. Pitch up and get rewards...

 

[chaiwala]

Now, hopefully Sree won't get too overconfident

 

[Blitz]

Awesome.

Personally, I dont think sree is a great bowler..he def is underrated due to his antics.

How can a guy who averages 35 with the ball be.....''underrated''?

 

[NJamal]

Big wicket for India

 

[nish_mate]

Come on son....get the other Saffer merc out now as well!!!

 

[Noman]

Sree will get wickets I feel...

What did I told u guys.. AHHAHAH

 

[JibranAnsari]

get kp on zero

 

[chaiwala]

LOLLL Yes, Sree does bowl well to South Africans

 

[IAJ]

As Sahil has just observed, it's almost as if Sreesanth's head is transparent

Kya hua hai ise?

 

[Blitz]

Time for Strauss to step up for Englands sake.

He hasn't played a meaningful innings for a long time.

 

[Amir]

Lucky India won the toss, otherwise Jimmy would have ripped right through em.

 

[nish_mate]

Still a coward decision to bowl first??? hmmmm

 

[IgnitedMind]

harsha and Dada taking a dig at Southafricans in England team lol

 

[NJamal]

24/2

 

[cricketfanfirst]

24/2 England (Strauss and KP batting)

 

[Noman]

Sreee bowling the right fuller leght..

 

[malakian]

Not a good start for our lads. We need a significant contribution from one of these batsmen. Silly shot by Trott but good delivery i guess.

 

[IAJ]

LOLLL Yes, Sree does bowl well to South Africans

Yes aur Saffers ki line laggi hui hai is team mein

 

[Equinox]

Trott didn't have to play at that. Match is fixed.

 

[12cavalry]

LOLLL Yes, Sree does bowl well to South Africans

dude that was just one delivery

 

[SG]

Still a coward decision to bowl first??? hmmmm

Surely, Strauss won't have been termed as a coward as he too suggested at toss that he too would've bowled first on this track.

 

[12cavalry]

Ishant taqriban ensaan ka bacha lag raha hai

 

[NJamal]

KP off the mark

 

[IgnitedMind]

How can a guy who averages 35 with the ball be.....''underrated''?

I mean people react extreme as if he is a VERY bad bowler..but actually decent one

 

[SG]

LOLLL Yes, Sree does bowl well to South Africans

lol, good point this.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

England batting looks scary -- Even after 5 wickets down, Prior is there waiting...

Lots of good work needed from our bowlers...

 

[MRSN]

Sreesanth was always going to be dangerous on this track.

 

[nish_mate]

Surely, Strauss won't have been termed as a coward as he too suggested at toss that he too would've bowled first on this track.

tell that to the arm chair generals here mate...

Look up on page1 you will see a post calling it coward....

 

[Blitz]

I mean people react extreme as if he is a VERY bad bowler..but actually decent one

Again. Isn't a fast bowler....for most of his career opening with a new ball, averaging 35 with the ball qualify for a 'very bad bowler'?

 

[SG]

Gotta get these 2 SAfricans before lunch.

 

[Equinox]

I hope the conditions remain intact throughout the match. Anderson v Indian batsmen will be a fascinating contest.

 

[12cavalry]

Commentary on Star Cricket is ****!

 

[chaiwala]

dude that was just one delivery

Took a 5fer that day, but in either case, it wasn't my point. Dada and Harsha were talking about it.

 

[Fawad2010]

what is a decent 1st inning's total?

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Good ball that one from Ishant...Still bowling a bit short though

 

[SG]

tell that to the arm chair generals here mate...

Look up on page1 you will see a post calling it coward....

But isn't it fun to see these knowledgeable posts?

 

[cricketfanfirst]

what is a decent 1st inning's total?

Anywhere between 325-350

 

[JibranAnsari]

predict the score. i say 180

 

[SG]

Great ball that from Ishant.

 

[nish_mate]

But isn't it fun to see these knowledgeable posts?

Well i suppose the world needs it's fair share of fools and clowns....

 

[Blitz]

Did you win the Lords test match? Did the England team not declare for 500 after you put them in?


Have you won this test match?


You lot get carried away so easily. Look at the guy calling Sreesanth underrated

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Predict England's first innings score:

JibranAnsari - 180
cricketfanfirst - 240

continue...

 

[chaiwala]

I think Sree will get Strauss lbw...

 

[NJamal]

26/2

 

[Blitz]

545-7 dec

 

[Fawad2010]

300, England will get there!

They have nice and long tail

 

[IgnitedMind]

Did you win the Lords test match? Did the England team not declare for 500 after you put them in?


Have you won this test match?


You lot get carried away so easily. Look at the guy calling Sreesanth underrated

I was speaking in relative to what people talk about him...never said he is a great/good bowler...only a decent one. Anyway..lets agree to disagree

 

[MRSN]

350-400

 

[nish_mate]

Did you win the Lords test match? Did the England team not declare for 500 after you put them in?

Ok India lost-but tell me did you miss the part where we bowled a bowler short?

The strategy was right to put England into bat-but it was terrible fitness of Zaheer that India went a man down.

India was to be blamed for the fitness-but that tactic of putting England was right @ Lords and is right @ TB as well.

Where has any1 said that India will win-you accuse indian supporters of being carried away easily-well there are enough posters here who get well carried over and beyond that much easily than that.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Predict England's first innings score:

JibranAnsari - 180
cricketfanfirst - 240
Blitz - 545-7 dec
Fawad2010 - 300

continue...

 

[malakian]

India won't score many here. Anything around 300 should be enough.

 

[NJamal]

Well i suppose the world needs it's fair share of fools and clowns....

And Ganguly is also a fool right? Because he was also saying that India should have batted first here.
