England vs India | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 10-14 | Day 2

[Sledger]

Bell was dropped before. Didn't cost India much.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can India get them out before 350? two more quick wickets and thing can get interesting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Stump shattering delivery, take that haters

)

 

[NJamal]

KP comes to bat

 

[Sledger]

77mph bouncer nearly takes Kp's head off!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Praveen India's asif.

 

[Vegitto1]

Stump shattering delivery, take that haters

)

PK farted just before releasing the ball hence that extra bit of thrust! he cant fart every time now can he

 

[Blitz]

 

[NJamal]

252/2

 

[Sledger]

Cook drives for four.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The wicket ball was 119 kph , must be a legbreak

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

all the trolls can come back - just doubled the wickets tally for the match

You my friend are right on the money!! They are already out

[Bhaijaan]

Cook is baking our bowlers :4

 

[Clip]

At some point Kumar is going to sustain an injury carrying the other 10 Indians on his back.

256/2.

PK farted just before releasing the ball hence that extra bit of thrust! he cant fart every time now can he

If that is the case I cannot even imagine Akhtar's farts before he releases the ball

 

[Mohsin]

PK farted just before releasing the ball hence that extra bit of thrust! he cant fart every time now can he

))

In that case the indian 'fast' bowlers need a can of baked-beans during the lunch and tea intervals. Who knows, it may help

 

[JibranAnsari]

cook in sublime form

 

[mithun_minhas]

The wicket ball was 119 kph , must be a legbreak

Still the off stump went like a tumble weed

Still the off stump went like a tumble weed

Yah must have hit near the top of the stump . Maximum torque theory

 

[Clip]

Mishra has scored twice as many runs for England than he has for India.

 

[Blitz]

Great shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

England should be aiming for 450-500 here atleast!

Cook should be look for a very big hundred or maybe a double!

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen should just chill for now. Attack after tea.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Subert shot :4

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

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?

Let Cook score his 400 then declare

It would be nice if England gets 600+ and have day 4 and 5 to bowl out India, if they declare after lunch then match will be over by dat 3

 

[Sledger]

265/2.

 

[NJamal]

265/2

 

[mithun_minhas]

KP always look like a walking wicket... He dances while playing every ball giving you a feeling that he is going to get out....

This might work in England or Aus or SAF.

In subcontinent, the guy will be stumped easily. You cannot dance down the wicket every ball when playing spinners in subcontinent.

Yeh... but is Strauss going to listen to your (and mine too) wish?

So realistically... what do you think Strauss will do?

Strauss is Mr. Overdone Declaration. If 600 will kill the match like fried chicken, he'll want 650, and if someone's on 42 or 77, he'll let them carry on.

 

[Blitz]

Good shot again.

 

[NJamal]

3 to KP

 

[Bhaijaan]

Playing beautiful shots KP

 

[Sledger]

269/2.

He played murali really well and played in India well . So I dont think he will have much of a problem. He can adjust his batting.

 

[JibranAnsari]

129.6 , praveen on fire.

 

[NJamal]

Another No Ball by Mishra

 

[Phool]

 

[akamaka]

mishra's count up to $80000 atleast.

 

[Clip]

That's 8nb for Mishra, having scored 4 with the bat. That should make his batting strike rate negative.

 

[Ruri]

Lead at 50 now, declare?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Yeh... but is Strauss going to listen to your (and mine too) wish?

So realistically... what do you think Strauss will do?

Realistically I think he'll declare after England reaches a lead of 350. That's more than enough.

 

[Sledger]

271/2.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Why are Pak fans ragging on poor PK?

PK might bowl slow. But the guy is a genuine wicket taker with his ability to swing the ball both ways...

The reason why he even gets swing is because he bowls slow

 

[NJamal]

271/2

 

[Ruri]

He dances across the wicket, now down it as much.

 

[Sledger]

Lead at 50 now, declare?

200 might be a nervy 4th innings chase though.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Strauss is Mr. Overdone Declaration. If 600 will kill the match like fried chicken, he'll want 650, and if someone's on 42 or 77, he'll let them carry on.

Either way it's fun for us right.

 

[Ruri]

mishra's count up to $80000 atleast.

Wrong sir, pounds not dollars!

 

[NJamal]

Teeli comes into attack

 

[Sledger]

Around the wicket to Cook.

 

[Ruri]

Teeli comes into attack

What does Teeli mean? You lot use it often.

 

[Sledger]

68mph toecrushing yorker.

 

[Sledger]

Inside edge for four.

 

[akamaka]

Wrong sir, pounds not dollars!

my bad, we use the dollars here!

 

[NJamal]

Inside edge & by Cook

 

[NJamal]

What does Teeli mean? You lot use it often.

It means a stick or more specifically match stick.

 

[Sledger]

When is tea and why is it delayed?

 

[mithun_minhas]

What does Teeli mean? You lot use it often.

Slender guy or Thin guy.

 

[Blitz]

Pummeled!

 

[Sledger]

Short and hammered for four.

 

[NJamal]

by KP

 

[Noman]

can't see Indian drawing this match... England fielder and bowler will be fresh... Indian tired.....

 

[Sledger]

56 run lead now.

 

[NJamal]

OK folks Aftaari time for me. See you guys after tea.

 

[Blitz]

Take that!!

 

[Sledger]

[akamaka]

Pieterson saying, ive had enough of this.

 

[Sledger]

The great Ishant has 0/59 so far.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The great Ishant has 0/59 so far.

41 short of a well deserved century
