England vs India | 2nd Test | Trent Bridge | Day 3 | 31/07/11

[Blitz]

Lets go!

They just showed Lord honours board. It had Asif on it. But a certain 6-84 had no name next to it

 

[Blitz]

Trott not going to bat apparently

 

[Noman]

Why han be there and block it our ?? TROOT COME on..

 

[AlizeeFan]

It should be absolutely gripping day. Probably most important day for the series?

 

[AlizeeFan]

Trott not going to bat apparently

I read this morning that he may come to bat if needed.

Not sure about his though.

It could easily be the day, you lose your number 1 ranking.

Sky Sports confirmed it.

 

[Noman]

This is day 2 feel like day four already.. what a match so fare.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Bring it on!

 

[JibranAnsari]

match will be over first session tomorrow

 

[AlizeeFan]

Doesn't matter if they lose no 1 ranking. It's English team which is more desperate for the rank 1.

 

[AlizeeFan]

match will be over first session tomorrow

Underestimating batsmen of two teams?

It looks like clear sunny day. Batters would like it.

 

[Fawad2010]

Michael Vaughan is getting soo much 'hate tweets' for his comment yesterday about THAT VVS decision, he said this as a joke and unsurprisingly, most indian readers just boiled with anger!

Has Vaseline on the outside edge saved the day for Laxman???

 

[Fawad2010]

Doesn't matter if they lose no 1 ranking. It's English team which is more desperate for the rank 1.

that's a lie and you know it

Doesn't matter? I guess all the articles about India not caring about the rating is true.


Ofcourse England are desperate. Its number 1!


Very disrespectful comment...to cricket.

 

[Eht]

A target of 250 will set up things very interestingly

 

[AlizeeFan]

that's a lie and you know it

Why? Is it not apparent that England team has worked harder for the series and clearly want no 1 rank while Indian team hasn't prepared.

You said losing the number 1 ranking doesn't matter.

The number 1 ranking in the format that has been around for 150 years!


Why are you even watching cricket if something like that doesn't matter?

 

[JibranAnsari]

no the english wont make more than 210 and 150 can easily be chased in 2 sessions.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Come on England, go FTW!!!!

 

[Fawad2010]

Why? Is it not apparent that England team has worked harder for the series and clearly want no 1 rank while Indian team hasn't prepared.

your post suggested that Indians don't care about the rankings, while all Indians fan + media take pride on that ranking

As for coming unprepared, IPL has a little something to do with it






























okay, maybe A LOT

 

[Eht]

Scans on Jonathan Trott's shoulder have shown no fracture or break, and England are hoping he can bat in this second innings - Cricinfo

 

[shahidafridi123]

About to start

 

[Fawad2010]

Strauss needs to score big here, a target of 250 on 4th-5th day pitch will be very competitive.

 

[Eht]

Bumble saying trott will not be available

 

[shahidafridi123]

Bell leaves

 

[shahidafridi123]

Leaves again

 

[shahidafridi123]

Another leave from Bell

 

[shahidafridi123]

Bell blocks this time

 

[Fawad2010]

If India win this match, and their injured trio (ZAK, GG, Sehwag) are fit, will they go with the team from this match or include these players?

 

[shahidafridi123]

Leaves

 

[shahidafridi123]

Blocks to end the over

 

[Fawad2010]

@shahidafridi123 you should have at least 500 more posts by the end of the day, if you keep posting here what happens on each delivery...

 

[shahidafridi123]

Strauss takes 3 to get the first runs on the board today.

 

[shahidafridi123]

@Fawad2010....will try my best..lol

 

[shahidafridi123]

Oh no, theyre talking about Pak vs Eng when we were all out for 80

 

[Fawad2010]

Dhoni is not wearing his helmet for PK's bowling because he knows the ball will never carry above his legs....lol

 

[AlizeeFan]

If India win this match, and their injured trio (ZAK, GG, Sehwag) are fit, will they go with the team from this match or include these players?

They will include those players.

[NJamal]

Its a nice sunny day.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Sunny day, i think today is the best day for batting!

 

[Fawad2010]

according to experts the best conditions to bat on this pitch is on the 3rd day (today).

 

[Fawad2010]

What is a safe target to give India on this pitch?

 

[Fawad2010]

I think the ball is still moving around a bit, that last one came back to the batsmen.

 

[Blitz]

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

One of england batsman needs to score big hundered, other can hang around and they can give a target of 250 plus which will be quite dufficult to chase

 

[NJamal]

[Blitz]

Where are the Indians? Oh wait, they'll be back when a wicket or 2 falls.
