Dravid drops it again :)))

It was even easier!

:))):))):)))
 
Two dropped by Dravid today and that was an absolute lollipop. Kamran Akmal would have caught that.
 
How many had Dravid dropped in the whole series? I think 4 catches
 
Morgan dropped twice.

India just don't expect wickets.

456/3, close.
 
India have gone mentally. They've been bullied and beaten to the point of mercy.. they need to show some fight tomorrow because they've just been an absolute joke.. even moreso than the other Asian teams who came here before.
 
Is it ok for a pakistani fan to feel bad for Indians?

Yes you can......

When I felt bad for Pak fans about their loss to India in WC2011 SF defeat, I was abused by some of your fellow Pak posters... Some of you guys said that you would rather die than get consolation words from Indian posters

Bwahahahaha :asif
 
Morgan is a hack in test match cricket, he's lucky to be playing because there aren't any great replacements for Collingwood available yet.
 
Honestly I have never seen a poorer bowling-attack than this. You almost feel for the guys.
 
After this pathetic performance, I expect to be off PakPassion and join a Bangladeshi forum... I am sure I will get some sympathy der :'(
 
This is good batting by England... It was made to look great by patheitc bowling and fielding...

How many 4's were gifted away by Sreesanth and Ishant and Mishra? I cannot even count...

Every 50 balls, they bowl a threatening ball and England batters did well to negate it or Indian fielders dropped them. :facepalm:

From what I've heard, Hildreth and taylor are serious talents. England just have a bit of a closed shop mentality in giving batsmen a chance. If Morgan flops, they'll get someone good in his place.
 
Raina to Morgan, no run, 89.2 kph, oh no! Dravid drops it. Aw dear. Morgan pushed outside off and the man with the most catches in Test history spills the edge. He threw his cap down in anger and it's actually rather sad

Sad Indeed. I dont even have words for how the proceedings are going for India...
 
England will look to torture India the whole day tomorrow. Get a lead of 500+ and then put them in.
 
Total Domination, if ever there was one, I don't think many teams can dig themselves a hole this deep by the 2nd day of a test. India behind by 232, and Bopara, Prior, Broad, Bresnan, Swann are yet to come, England look set for a target over 500 if they want.

I'd bat all day tmrw, and score as much as possible, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the total at stumps tmrw is 750/8.

At stumps yesterday I said this might be a proper spanking, meaning that in this test Sehwag and Gambhir were both available.

The shocking thing for Indian fans must be that the return of the absent superstars has actually made them much much worse.

If Cook makes it through the first few overs, he could be looking at a mammoth score, and with a demoralised Indian attack, England could bat all day, declare on something stupid like 750 without bothering with Anderson, and then put India in for four overs - and ridiculously still have two days to bowl them out, although on current form it seems that might only take two sessions.

It's not unreasonable to predict an innings and three figures defeat for India with some of day 4 to spare. Is there a word for "beyond spanking"?
