England vs India | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 10-14 | Day 1

[Bhaijaan]

quick running there, two runs taken

 

[mithun_minhas]

A few more Swann overs will be wonderful

From the way Swann performed in this series, its not surprising that Harbhajan was hammered by everyone...

Swann escaped punishment from Indian batters as none of the batsmen tried to be +ve.

 

[Phool]

2 runs

 

[NJamal]

by Dhoni

 

[Bhaijaan]

Aur yeh chaaar run :4

 

[NJamal]

216/8

 

[Phool]

 

[Bhaijaan]

Single off last ball,. perfect !

 

[IgnitedMind]

And single

 

[NJamal]

Come on England just 2 more wickets

 

[Seen Sheen]

250 would hurt England badly.

[Fawad2010]

Dhoni wants his 100!

 

[Phool]

 

[Fawad2010]

India's RR up to 3.75 now

at the bowling

 

[IgnitedMind]

Amazing Stuff!!!

 

[Fawad2010]

need something different, give Bopara a couple of overs.

 

[Fawad2010]

Best hope for a wicket of Dhoni as it stands now is if he top-edges a shot..

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dhoni in complete control

 

[mithun_minhas]

India's RR up to 3.75 now

at the bowling

Just goes to show that when the attack is taken to the English bowling, even they will look rubbish...

 

[NJamal]

223/8

 

[Bhaijaan]

Current partnership - 28

 

[Fawad2010]

Just goes to show that when the attack is taken to the English bowling, even they will look rubbish...

2 tests 2 late....

 

[Phool]

captain innings by Dhoni

Well i think it shows when you play fearless you tend to make less mistakes

[Phool]

[Phool]

India 224 for 8

 

[Bhaijaan]

Man Ashley Giles has put on a lot of weight and looks so old

 

[tauseefm]

Chacha Dhoni out

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

[Seen Sheen]

Dhoni's excellent innings comes to an end.

I agree with Bumble, Dhoni looked dead certain for A century. English bowlers were looking hopeless. Well played nevertheless.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Well played though.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think India have a very good total here! Dhoni has played well!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Broad's bowling average wont be that borad after this series

 

[ash 68]

Dhoni in complete control

ahhhhhh to soon

 

[Love Pakistan]

Swann ki zaroorat hi nahi parhi.... fast bowlers are doing the job!

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Sreensanth in.

 

[Fawad2010]

no 100 for Dhoni, he deserved it though...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Broad cannot believe that he got Dhoni out

That should have disappeared for another 6. Right in the slot for another big one...

Well played Dhoni

 

[Bhaijaan]

Broad looking for a 5fer

u jinxed

 

[Bhaijaan]

ahhhhhh to soon

Mai bhii baaj ni aata

 

[Fawad2010]

Who will get the 5-for?

Bresnan or Broad or Neither?

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

@Shastri: When Dhoni hits, it stays...out!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Swann ki zaroorat hi nahi parhi.... fast bowlers are doing the job!

THe few times Swann bowled, he got bludgeoned.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The tail enders should play their slogs now

 

[Sledger]

Race for five now between Broad and Bresnan.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Was hoping at least 260-270 the way Ishant was supporting.

Anyway much better than getting bowled out below 150, and it'll be really charge us up as we've come out of a hole. England will get to bat 20 odd overs, so good chance for us to get some quick wickets.

 

[IAJ]

"Broad to Dhoni, OUT, 134.4 kph, gone now! Pitched-up delivery that Dhoni tried to hack to the cover boundary, in a way he was unlucky because the edge found the one slip in Strauss, who took a decent catch. That said, given the field was deep was there a need to go so hard at it? Anyway, it has been an excellent counter-attacking innings that has lifted his team's mood and total up towards respectability"

So now you are unlucky if you nick it to slip! Typical cricinfo!

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

224-9

Well played Dhoni

Yeah, was a half volley, hard luck that he edged it. Probably swung a bit too hard.

 

[IAJ]

 

[iHammad]

224 all out

 

[Bhaijaan]

what a catch

 

[IAJ]

All over 224!

 

[NJamal]

224 All out. The so called best batting line up. lol

 

[iHammad]

2 wickets for Anderson, whatta catch by Cook!

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Good catch.

 

[iHammad]

Wow, it just stuck in

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Yes!!

Stop over reacting

 

[Phool]

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

224 all out.

 

[Noman]

I think India have a very good total here! Dhoni has played well!

Okay total. Not very good.. only 224 runs its 22.4 per wicket quite cheap

 

[Sledger]

Innings wrapped up by Anderson.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Indian batting owned once again
