England vs India | 2nd Test | Trent Bridge | Day 2 | 30/07/11

[Blitz]

Best Saturday story EVER!!

Class.

 

[style_guru]

In an ideal world for India, both these fellows score hundreds before Yuvraj and MSD go berserk and in the process generate a 300+ lead.

Yes. And Mahatma Gandhi, Jinnah and Lincoln should ressurect to save the world.

I dont know if posters here are being sarcastic or jinxing the team..

Bieng honest. England have raised their levels considerably since the last tour of India.

 

[Fawad2010]

28 overs bowled in that last session without SPINNERS


How hard is to maintain a healthy overrate?

 

[Krishnan]

Morning gents...

Fascinating first session so far, I was lucky enough to wake up and catch the last 30 minutes. Hoping for big hundreds from Dravid and Sachin in the remaining 2 sessions now!

Thought this was too good to pass up though, in chronological order, some classic whinging:

Lol EXcuses already started

 

[Blitz]

I agreed with ICC. People with bendy actions, and straightning your arms is a totally different thing.

 

[Fawad2010]

5 min till the action starts!

 

[James]

Lol EXcuses already started

Again I come back to the point on perspective. When England won at Lord's, every day post-stumps there were new Indian excuses.

@ Whip: Calm down Mate. Your team is doing well and that's what matters.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Tendulkar will get his 100th hundred this session.

 

[James]

@ Whip: Calm down Mate. Your team is doing well and that's what matters.

Mate, I'm fine. Always fine. If I appear otherwise it's an illusion. All I do is post things that challenge people - I don't sit on the fence and waste words.

 

[style_guru]

Tendulkar will get his 100th hundred this session.

To do so on this pitch is just a little below bieng impossible. Do not forget the England bowling line up.

I know you are a true Englishman. Tell me your views on Swann. Will he be able to bowl today?

 

[Blitz]

Tendulker

 

[James]

If he's on the field then they must intend to bowl him.

BYE BYE SACHIN! Roffle. Ian Bell-esque rubbish shot.

 

[NJamal]

Teenda LOL

 

[cricketpassion]

yessss

 

[Fawad2010]

gone!!

 

[A.M.]

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Tendulkar will get his 100th hundred this session.

Jinx worked, Bye Bye flopdulkar

 

[violet_may]

No 100 = VM )

 

[Krishnan]

Again I come back to the point on perspective. When England won at Lord's, every day post-stumps there were new Indian excuses.

Nice logic

 

[Fawad2010]

Tendulkar will get his 100th hundred this session.

aaah!

I was gonna ask to bet on this, then thought against it!

should have called it

 

[James]

Bieng honest. England have raised their levels considerably since the last tour of India.

I thought so too, but nice to hear from the opposition

Game on by the way...

 

[NJamal]

England need to get Dravid to get back into the game.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Got your Kleenex handy FC?

SRT probably read Jonathan's Liew's blog during lunch!

 

[Blitz]

I think Tendulkers wicket deserves just one response as of now:

 

[skittles]

If that incident had been Sreesanth bowling to Pietersen then there would have been a lot of posts from a lot of Indians. Everything is a question of perspective. At least I don't hide my views.

fair enough, but I speak only for myself and not others.

So, part 1 of my hopes for the day dashed, no big Sachin hundred...come on Dravid!

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Big wicket for England...Now the game is in balance, Dravid has to see off this session again.

 

[Fawad2010]

Raina or Yuvi?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think Tendulkers wicket deserves just one response as of now:

)

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dismissed at 1.43PM

Come on England!

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Raina has come in...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

aaah!

I was gonna ask to bet on this, then thought against it!

should have called it

I was trying to jinx him

Would never want Teenda midget to score a century.

 

[James]

Great bonus wicket but need to keep the feet on the ground for now. Still seven wickets to get.

 

[jusarrived]

I was thinking VVS to come next for a second

 

[style_guru]

Game: England.
MOM: Broad.

 

[Fireworks11]

Barbie ... what a star.

 

[Itachi]

@style_guru: reading your post makes me wonder, we are playing against england or australia in 2000s....?

 

[Blitz]

To be honest, Tendulker was never the main wicket. Dravid is.

 

[Fawad2010]

I was trying to jinx him

Would never want Teenda midget to score a century.

haha...

the master plan

 

[cricketfanfirst]

I was trying to jinx him

Would never want Teenda midget to score a century.

Of course, not many Indians would expect that here

 

[NJamal]

119/3

 

[KingKhanWC]

Only one real test batsmen left in Dravid, rest should be worked over.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Is benedict a real person?

 

[James]

England need to get their teeth into the middle order. Dravid has booked himself in already.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Broad/Swann partnership will be a telling contribution in this match ...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Really though being completely srs, its an amazing sight watching Dravid bat. Better player than Teenda by far. Nearly as good as IMO

 

[KingKhanWC]

Raina )

 

[violet_may]

When teendu goes, India crumbles. VM has seen this far too often

 

[NJamal]

Oh Almost gone but went for

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Streaky leave/shot from Raina... he has to duck all the time...

 

[jusarrived]

lucky , shacky start for raina

 

[KingKhanWC]

This isn't Lords, plenty of bounce here for Raina to deal with.

 

[Fawad2010]

from the shoulder of the bat

 

[DeadlyVenom]

When teendu goes, India crumbles. VM has seen this far too often

When he scores 100 they lose

Teenda gets out cheaply - India collapse
Teenda scores century - India lose

What a useless player.

 

[James]

Great test match batting from the next big hope so far...

 

[cricketfanfirst]

I guess, he will fight out...Just to clear his mind, that he does not have technique to hook/play defensively by standing tall...should go for the easy option of swaying away/ducking under...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good over by Barbie again, Raina getting worked over.

 

[NJamal]

123/3

 

[Genghis]

Raina looking like a tail-ender.

 

[BhikkuMatrey]

I was trying to jinx him

Would never want Teenda midget to score a century.

Luks like Sachin Tendulkar had made u jealous of him dont worry form is temporary class is permanent.

 

[Krishnan]

I was thinking VVS to come next for a second

Ha ha

 

[Fireworks11]

That was a poor shot by Sachin...

A massive test for Raina this.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

When Stuart Broad is persevered with nearly 40 test matches, we should be patient with Raina. He has obvious deficiencies and he will overcome them..

Nice leave now...just duck under and don't get in a tangle...

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Indian Fans - the silence is deafening!

[cricketfanfirst]

Superb cover driver...

 

[NJamal]

by Raina

 

[jusarrived]

Classy shot

 

[violet_may]

Raina and bouncers are a sight to see ) )

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Indian Fans - the silence is deafening!

Why my dear sir, are you not seeing my posts

 

[BhikkuMatrey]

When he scores 100 they lose

Teenda gets out cheaply - India collapse
Teenda scores century - India lose

What a useless player.

Still better player than few players who score first ball and get out next ball i m sure 48 odi centuries 51 test centuries is no joke

 

[violet_may]

Dravid to make century? What say you folks?

 

[Fawad2010]

that was a good shot

 

[Genghis]

England need to make sure they don't overdo it with the short balls to Raina.

 

[style_guru]

Hope Raina has renewed his dental insurance

 

[jusarrived]

Indian Fans - the silence is deafening!

the things which you imagine in your head lol

 

[USIND]

When he scores 100 they lose

Teenda gets out cheaply - India collapse
Teenda scores century - India lose

What a useless player.

How mean

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Dravid to make century? What say you folks?

At least, let him have merry time at the crease Already you guys have taken out Sachin....

 

[NJamal]

129/3
