Beauty from Ishant, we need a lot more deliveries like that
 
Much better over from Ishant... This is how he bowled in Windies..

Lack of confidence and bowling short is undoing Ishant in England... He still thinks that he is in Windies where he can bowl short and get wickets..
 
On your way to a hundred after a draught and getting out on a no ball :facepalm: Must be feeling terrible
 
Mishra looks like a better test bowler than Bhajji, but needs to fix his no ball problem, seriously you're a spinner mun :holding

no chance. Almost two hundred runs before Bell walks in, absolutely no pressure considering india's first innings target almost surpassed. Two guys have already scored fairly big. Poorish bowling. These are the conditions Bell succeeds in, he hardly ever gets out before making a century in these situations :))). He's even scoring at a strike rate of over 100 because he's so confident :)))
 
I am still amazed how can a spinner bowl so many no balls. I play club cricket and when I am bowling no balls, I take a run slow and make sure I dont bowl it. Slow run up should help the no ball problem so much...I still dont get why mishra bowls so many no balls...much more than fast bowlers!!
 
Last year Bangladesh gave England a much better account of themselves and may be now Zimbabwe will give a better account of themselves.

Fake No1 team, bunch of flat track bully's or not any more even in these set conditions they can't BAT, Bowl or field such pathetic state of Indian cricket.

Well, I was just being hopefull. I know nothing that has gone so far suggests that would happen. But seeing players a little pumped, I just said "hopefully " !!!
 
England game plan is clear. Score at an accelerated rate, break the Indians today, finish the match on Day 3 and get some rest for day 4 and 5

Ladoo bowling by Indian Attack, Two fat boys got injured ( Zaheer and Harbatn) and replacements are like Lard packs.

So much for IPL bring in new fitness regime if you listen to star cricket and all Indian commentators on TV and Radio, and now sky commentary team ripping in to them.

Indians don't get when English or Aussi or South African commentators say Indian FAST BOWLERS it just P!ss taking.
 
:14:

splendid effort by English top order, scoring at brisk rate!

ENG leads by 4 now, how much is enough?

I think if possible, a lead of 450 should be enough.
 
Great over by Sreesanth finally.........

If history tells us anything, he will follow this up with a rubbish over :facepalm:
 
No good shaking your head shake bell's hand u will get a pasting from England promise
 
Dingdong's set off like a train. The Indians look in disarray. "Are you Bangladesh in disguise?"

We pretty much look the same excpet for some minor differences...

Yes, this is Bangladesh posing as India..

It was Tapash Baishya who put down the catch in the slip. What a trash cricketer :facepalm:
 
Cook is doing slow broth 196 ball and Eleven 4's and Bell is 29 ball and Six 4's.Now thats what u call batting on a flat track by Bell take good lesson Indian betting.
 
9 no-balls by India so far, ENG bowled almost the same amount of overs with no no-balls!

6 by Mishra, 3 by Sree

:facepalm:
 
Can some one tell us what's the biggest margin India has lost a test match ?
 
Sreesanth runs in faster than he bowls. :facepalm:

Runs in at 150kmph and bowls at 125kmph :asif

Any opinions about when England should declare?

They are batting at 4.45 runs per over.... with 45 overs to go.... so if England score another 180 more runs today... they will end the day with a lead of 200.

Then tomorrow ... they should bat till lunch .. another 80-90 runs... then an hour after the lunch....

I think.... England should declare one hour after lunch tomorrow after a lead of 325-350! More than enough... what do you think?
 
Another series, another century. Test player of the year?

Bell cleaned up by a 73mph brute.
 
all the trolls can come back - just doubled the wickets tally for the match
