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

[Noman]

Raina is a good batsman.. England should no take him easy..

 

[violet_may]

When he scores 100 they lose

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

What a useless player.

)

Indeed DV, indeed.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor over from Jimmy didn't test Raina.

 

[James]

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

Was just thinking that. Pretty funny though - Raina's weakness against the short ball is the worst kept secret in cricket

 

[Noman]

Broad have done a good job-- Anderson average....

 

[KingKhanWC]

Trott popped his shoulder, ouch.

 

[Blitz]

Trott has hurt himself bad.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Oops, pain for Trott...

 

[Noman]

Trott injure====????

 

[Bullet Drive]

Trott injured?

 

[shan]

CricIndi:

"In their wild lunch fantasies that is exactly what England would have been daydreaming about. Tendulkar gone early. Raina is the new man. Can one bring two? "

Wild fantasies? I think they care more about Dravid wicket then anyother Indian batsman in this series.

 

[Noman]

Why jump like that when u are not fitt???

 

[Bullet Drive]

His shoulder it was. Didn't look to serious.

 

[Fireworks11]

Barbie stole Jimmy's birthday present.

 

[SOSami]

This is the opposite of the first test match.

Gambhir injured. Zaheer injured.

This time, Trott injured, Swann Injured.

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Trott was clutching his shoulder and bumble says could be dislocation, not sure about that....Looks bad though...

 

[Blitz]

He'll be fine

 

[Bullet Drive]

Trott going off. He is a tough something : Bumble.

 

[KingKhanWC]

He's not holding his smotach but keeping his arm up while walking off. Kid back on as sub.

meanwhile Raina having a nightmare.

 

[Blitz]

))

Raina is absolutely failing at short ball.

Very lucky.

 

[Noman]

Feel sorry for Trott here

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Again a nothing shot from Raina...He is in two minds and will be a doom, if he continues playing like this..

 

[NJamal]

Mat Inn NO runs Avg.

SR Teenda 2* 3 0 62 20.66

 

[Blitz]

Mat Inn NO runs Avg.

SR Teenda 2* 3 0 62 20.66

 

[Fawad2010]

I hope Trott is ok, he is very important for this English team

 

[NJamal]

131/3

 

[Fawad2010]

Could be that Raina is not picking up the bouncer's from Broad's end. It's the same sightscreen problem Pietersen was complaining about.

Cricinfo making excuses for Raina, if he has a problem, I am sure he would not keep it a secret

It will never get old.

Whenever I have to respond to anything related to 's stats, I think I will just use this smiley from now on.

I know. And it doesn't look like he's improving either.

Commentators too are speaking of the same here...Not entirely proprietary those comments to cricinfo

What a legend!

 

[Ambi]

Where is whippy.is he nasser

I am sure he would have said something to the ump about it, I am not saying that its impossible that there is a problem, just that he should speak for himself if it is bothering him

 

[NJamal]

Maiden by Jimmy

 

[cricketfanfirst]

Okay guys, logging off ...will see if it is worth to catch later...bye for now...

Specially you people are bugging me off with your comments

 

[KingKhanWC]

Better over from Jimmy, Raina finding it tough out there.

 

[NJamal]

50 for Dravid

 

[DeadlyVenom]

50 for Dravid. Well played!

 

[Fawad2010]

50 of 131 balls

 

[Genghis]

Dravid still looks all class. To think his career was apparently over a year ago. Still the wall.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Dravid schooling SRT on how it should be done.

Well done Dravid!

 

[Fireworks11]

Well played Rahul...so reliable.

 

[NJamal]

137/3

 

[Fawad2010]

Indian RR is 2.74 this innings. They surely are missing Sehwag

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Averages close to 74 in England does Dravid. Excellent player.

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Into india tail now! They should just attack rather than defending!

 

[Fawad2010]

[Genghis]

Raina falls. What a joke of a shot. Is this a batsmen in the best batting lineup in the world?

 

[A.M.]

good comeback by England

 

[Blitz]

There is not a single Indian around here anymore!

must have something to do with it

 

[DeadlyVenom]

oooooooooooh jimmmy bowling well.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Anderson with his tail up now, Yuvraj replaces Raina in every way.

 

[NJamal]

Yuvraj will find it difficult

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

It might be the same pattern as yesterday afternoon. England started well, india needs to attak and go for runs.

 

[Fireworks11]

Raina will face the wrath in that Indian dressing room.

 

[NJamal]

139/4

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Yuvraj in but for how long?

My prediction is he will be out in single figures.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Wanna see UV against Broad.

 

[NJamal]

It might be the same pattern as yesterday afternoon. England started well, india needs to attak and go for runs.

Attack? They are just hanging in there can't afford to attack.

 

[Fawad2010]

Yuvi said he wants to be a regular in the test line up

 

[Eht]

yar ye geo super pe star se sky pe convert ho gia hai kia ?

 

[KingKhanWC]

'No Seeewag here' lol

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Attack? They are just hanging in there can't afford to attack.

They should play like broad did yesterday!

Defend, defend and then get out isnt gonna work. You need runs on this pitch!
