Ok all set for the fairy tale Bell 100 bats with the tail and takes ENG to 250 PLUS, how many times have I seen this with Indian bowling lol..
 
Will Morgan's position is the team will be in danger if England lose this test?

Does Bopara deserve another chance?

Stop taking the bait please!!

it's only for Englishmen and the newly converted English!

AFAIK you are not-so pls igonre it :D
 
102-6. India winning the toss doing a good job but I still back England to win this test match. :)

Anything near 200 would be a great score for England since they have quicker, better swing bowlers.
 
Bresnan has an average of 33!


some of our, pakistani batsmen currently average less..


:))
 
Lols, these commentators are everywhere; I am listning to 5 live and Sunil Gavaskar is commentating right now.

England's lowest total at this ground against India is 198 so alot of work to do here for Eng.
 
dravids drop catch can make a difference here... been seeing dravid dropping many catches.... if stats were available i can see dravid dropping as many catches he caught

Contrary to popular belief, they can mix. The basement dwellers let the normal people among us down.

Oh yeah the match... these two playing pretty well. 200 would be something to bowl at.
 
not really but his been bad for the last year or so...his reflexes seem to have worn down

Apney aap kou tasalli na dou, hoping for the opposite, but you are right that's what will happen.

And what has happend to Morgan of late?
Click to expand...

He's never really looked comfortable at test level and his average is poor. Right now he is not test class and him getting dropped is only a matter of time.

Cook and Trott having a laugh on the balcony. They know they can still come back in the game. A confident team these days, which England often have not been in the past - good to see.

No kidding.

But I am still gonna make fun of your post. :D

200 would be something, but I doubt it is enough. Hard to see you getting them out for 200 twice.
 
India have bowled well collectively after lunch and need to really go for the kill here!
 
I dont think India will be able to buy a wicket from here on for rest of the ENG innings..
 
Not surprised, you have the right to be enjoying this performance :P

I'm not saying what we get will be enough, but in these conditions I think we'll always be in the game. I don't even think 150 would be completely cack because we would have 30 overs under the clouds. Beefy reckons the pitch is a bit of a greeny.
 
First time I am listning an international match on radio and honestly that is a better experience than the tired commentators on tv!

Proper good old english, ideal for people like me who want improve their english.

GG will be back, which means Yuvi will be out, so you want no spinners?

Who said we got spinners in our lineup here? :D

on a serious note, get Mishy in instead of Harbie and take Mukund out-get Dravid to open with GG and Sehwag to come instead of Raina.

Sehwag wont be in prime form so might as well keep him in the middle order.

Go with 5 bowlers tho.
 
There were talks of Finn being included instead of Bresnan, wouldnt be surprised if he (at least partially) saves England here...

I would wait till the batting settle down a bit more before going with 5 bowlers
 
Enjoying the fact that England are getting the crap decisions but are still ahead in the series.
 
Lol Cricinfo comment from random fan:

""We should be biting the bullet and putting Prior at #6 and Broad #7 and so playing 5 bowlers," says Paul MC"

Psst you are 6/116 not sure if best argument right now.

Bresnan is a better bowler, batsman and fielder than Finn, so no contest really.

Oval will be a draw, no chance of England bowling us out 2ice there and us bowling then Commonwealth out even less..

Edgbaston will be where we will need to gamble

As for the batting, these guys aint exactly like some fresh faced virgins-they are hard core seasoned professionals-should be used to it! :D
 
under 20 minutes till tea. Don't lose any more wickets now.

I fully agree with you. England have been on the recieving end. But it's just the sheer detarmination of this team that has taken them here. I can foresee England becoming the top teams in world cricket in coming time. Very very balanced team indeed.
 
Not as much swing now with the ball nearly 50 overs old but still not easy out there. England should aim to bat another 30 overs and get to 200.

Bresnan looking solid.

The five bowler merchants seem to forget that we have been a top test team for two or so years and are on the verge of being number one...with four bowlers.
 
Boycott is talking about the weather:

'It was a very beautiful sunny day yesterday and overcast conditions today and you never know, sun might come out tomorrow when India bat'
 
Eng most solid Bat comes out to bat, I would just throw Yuvi the ball tempt him to go for 6 SIXs PAYBACK!!!!!

BCCI will ensure it does :D
 
England have taken 20 wickets at the Oval the last three summers. Never underestimate England at the Oval, some of our greatest successes have come there.

Always thought India would win here and we would win at Edgbaston, the latter being an England fortress.

What England can do with 5 bowlers, can be easily done by 4 bowlers.
 
Honestly Morgan in test matches is a disgrace and that too an imported disgrace!

ECWB will have to trawl wider to fill in their Irish quota..... :(
