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

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

What kind of Green top this is?

 

[chaiwala]

Probably the first time I've seen Bresnan sledge.

Probably also the first time I've seen Gambhir not overreact to a sledge.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Inshallah they'll be 155 all out

Don't think so, England made a mistake, a huge one by electing to field. There has been regulation movement that we see in England, nothing special. I think they got carried away by the grass.

 

[SG]

Their pace bowlers didn't make the most of the conditions.

Watch Jimmy murk them this morning if England bowl first.

Its still 1 hour into the game only, still lol at this prophesy.

 

[chaiwala]

Good bowling, good batting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

England should have played 5 bowlers, Swann and Broad are decent batsmen.

 

[SG]

Whats with this Eng's tendency to use obscure subs?

 

[chaiwala]

Beautiful cover drive from Dravid!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 47/1 pretty solid start given the conditions.

 

[Noman]

England should just give Dravid 130 runs and say get out.. we need wickets to win the the match:HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

 

[Bhaijaan]

50 comes up

 

[Seen Sheen]

Probably also the first time I've seen Gambhir not overreact to a sledge.

True that.

Bacha barra ho raha hai!!

 

[chaiwala]

Jaffa from Broad...almost got him!!!

 

[Noman]

I cant see the grasss..need new glasses????

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Bored

 

[hayat]

India's RR is 3.22, healthy'isc.

Why are English sporting black armbands? Something to do with the riots..?

 

[Noman]

these batsman are sets.. look like both are gonna score 100 runs..

 

[chaiwala]

Both batsmen look solid, bowlers also look nonthreatening....

The England team are all wearing black armbands in honour of Neal Abberley, Ian Bell's former batting coach who died recently.

They had legitimate reason in the last test.


One thing I've noticed with these subs is that more often than not, they end up getting substantial appraisal from the media/fans. ontingrunout

Oh ok. Thanks.

Obviously they haven't left thick grass but enough to keep the sides interested.

 

[duostyle]

India are playing good, I thought they would fold for >200 as wickets would flow after that Sehwag one but now they seem to be on their way to 250+ especially if Dravid stays there.

Btw, did anyone catch Dravid asking rather shamelessly the umpire to remove Vaseline from his bat?


JUST KIDDING Indians, don't jump on me! :vaughan

 

[Seen Sheen]

Dravid doesn't look like getting out any time soon.

 

[spoiled]

england not pitching it up..don't go defensive english boys..get driven

No it was a pathetic joke.

JUST KIDDING duo

 

[Noman]

Ouuuutttt ghambir

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

 

[Seen Sheen]

That's why I only said Dravid. I knew Gambhir would do something stupid.

 

[Energy]

As Bumble said, very much a surprise considering the deliveries he's left alone.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Now get Teenda asap

 

[SG]

I'm not talking about whether they've legitimate reasons to use them or not. I'm saying why not use your regular 12th man as sub as every other cricketing nation does?

 

[Seen Sheen]

A really ambitious drive.

 

[SG]

Poor stroke by Gambhir which is a shame considering he was playing so well.

 

[Fawad2010]

RR under 3 now, GG and Sehwag back in dressing room.

Bowling first has paid off, me thinks

 

[Justcrazy]

India needs to score at least 400 here. Its a must, even for a draw.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

5 Day weather forecast not looking good!

[Justcrazy]

Dravid + Tendulkar = formidable pair. England would be happy to get one of them before lunch.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I'm not talking about whether they've legitimate reasons to use them or not. I'm saying why not use your regular 12th man as sub as every other cricketing nation does?

They announce a squad of 12 or 13 generally and as soon as the game kicks off, the players that are left out are released and allowed to join their respective counties. So that's why they have to use the local boys/players as subs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar gets the single.

 

[Vegitto1]

gone!

 

[Blitz]

Teenda!!!

 

[Lara400]

Tendus gone

 

[insaftak]

sachin

Why I selected this moron for my fantasy team

 

[Vegitto1]

Balle Balle Balle!!!

Something to cheer us up after the riots

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

England needs to get one more wicket before break

 

[Law]

There goes Mr. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Broad has got 3 times in this series, a bunny in the making?

 

[Seen Sheen]

RR under 3 now, GG and Sehwag back in dressing room.

Don't think so, will need atleast one more to feel confident.
.

Edit: As I am writing this, Sachin plays a loose stroke and India are in trouble now.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

This is brilliant now.

 

[spoiled]

Unbelievable..The great player departs

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Pwned!

[Namak_Halaal]

Indian fans should ask for a refund!

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar Gone for 1

Still 99 hundreds

 

[Vegitto1]

*Calls 999*

Lady: What is your emergency?

Indian fan: We need the riot squad at Edgbaston, the English team is running a riot on India

 

[Seen Sheen]

Almost another one, Laxman was camping on the back foot as he usually does and an inside edge saved him.

 

[Fawad2010]

wow 3 down!

one more before lunch?

 

[ash 68]

so much for much vaunted batting side

 

[Justcrazy]

Laxman off with a four.........pure class.

 

[Justcrazy]

One more wicket ..........it will be very very tough for India. They need to get at least 300 plus.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Indian fans quiet of late!

100 or victory? Tough call for them!

 

[Seen Sheen]

has really been poor throughout the series with his footwork.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

One more wicket ..........it will be very very tough for India. They need to get at least 300 plus.

You mean past 300 for the first time in the series. What an achievement for the number one batting line up in the world! WOW!

 

[Justcrazy]

What a series Broad is having....... both bat and ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes. They have to do it, to have any chance.

Sameer Shadab has picked the peanut out of the poop: "Positive thing about Sachin's dismissal is that at least he did not get out to Anderson. Phew." from cric

2nd innigns Jimmy will get him as usual

 

[Noman]

Need to get Dravid out...

c Anderson b Broad

He's still in there though

 

[SAF]

Dravid








































. Im off. hopefully india's all out when I wake up

 

[Justcrazy]

Dravid is looking solid as usual.

 

[Noman]

England need 3 rd man to many runs coming there in these test match

 

[Justcrazy]

I have jinx Dravid.......... lol

 

[Justcrazy]

3 rd Man is often the most neglected area when it comes to Test Matches, usually most runs come from there.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Quote for Sachin

If Jimmy can't get you, Broad will

 

[Seen Sheen]

Lax flirting outside off stump.

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Watching WC matches !!

 

[Phool]

Last over before lunch
