Guided past slip this time. Four more.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Is this really a number one team? How the hell they managed yo reach there?

 

[Sledger]

No, it's the former number one team. Just like Pakistan are also a former number one team.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ravi Shastri talked big, jealous this that. Now all he can do is

 

[Sledger]

England trail by just 89 now. No wickets for India in this test yet.

Another gem from Cricinfo.... )

I am not sure if the Beatles followed/follow cricket, but this one is a gem from Josh: "Yesterday/ MS Dhoni's troubles seemed so far away/ Now Praveen Kumar is here to stay/ Gambhir and Singh were/ Yesterday/

Suddenly/ They're not half the team they used to be/ Will he lose the World number 1 spot\?/ Yesterday came suddenly/

Why Tendulkar/ Had to go I don't know, Laxman wouldn't say/ Rahul Dravid's gone*, now Dhoni longs for Yesterdayyyyyy"

*Gone in this sense technically means past prime.

[Sledger]

4 leg byes..

 

[Sledger]

India freely bowling these no balls now that there's no NOTW.

 

[Sledger]

3 no balls in the over.

 

[Sledger]

50 for Cook.

 

[Blitz]

.

13 of the over?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

50 for Cook well played

 

[Vegitto1]

Sreeshant on a nno-ball spree ala Amir

 

[Sledger]

50 up for Sreesanth too loool.

 

[Sledger]

Strauss has also outdone Dhoni's score.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Man we are just so crap

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mishra getting some nice turn

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Man we are just so crap

You stole my line

 

[Justcrazy]

England would make India toil real hard here, there is no short cuts. s

 

[Blitz]

 

[Sledger]

Great whip shot for four.

 

[Sledger]

The great Suresh Raina comes into the attack.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Only 70 runs behind! The should aim for atleast 200 runs lead

 

[Sledger]

Right arm optimistic. ) )

 

[Sledger]

2 to go before lunch. Strauss on strike.

 

[Sledger]

Defensive field set by Dhoni.

 

[Justcrazy]

Starus looking really solid, I wonder when will India get there first scalp...........

 

[Sledger]

157/0 at lunch.

 

[ash 68]

where is SG mega troll?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bowlers failed to take advantage of the overcast conditions

 

[Fawad2010]

compare this to yesterday's mornings' session...

I know the conditions were a bit worse for batting yesterday, but a difference of 4 wickets..

 

[Justcrazy]

It shows 65 overs left before the close. So we see England scoring at least another 200 more here. India will have to bat out at least 5 sessions in the second innings to draw.

 

[spoiled]

Right arm optimistic. ) )

lol

classic that was

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I know the conditions were a bit worse for batting yesterday, but a difference of 4 wickets..

According to conditions were worse for batting earlier today after rain, India failed to make any impact

 

[Namak_Halaal]

where is SG mega troll?

Out to buy Kleenex - Aloe vera coated.

 

[Noman]

I do not know when Sachin will retire and how many runs he will score in the future... I predict that Alastair Cook will end up with close to Tendulkar runs.. People are thinking Kallis or Ponting.. But Cook is the only batsman I see to overtake Tendulkar, because England play a lot of test matches. He is good vs Aus and just need to score plenty of runs vs India in future.. Hopefully he will get a big score today



Indian fans
! am
not jaloux .. Just a big fan of Cook


We need Cook smiley here

Key numbers:


43 runs to the England double ton opening partnership

16 runs to Strauss's 20th Test ton

238 runs England will add to their 157 lunch score by stumps if they score at a little over the current innings rate

486 runs and 10 wickets the Indians will have to make in Days 4 and 5 to avert defeat in this match
