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

[RWAC]

WTH is this lol Full on beizzati hai

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Alistair Cook; making up for those 5 poor innings all in one whole innings!

Woah, I actually am feeling sorry for India's Cricket team.

I'm feeling terrible for Ravi Bopara. This might be his last chance to force Morgan out of the team before Trott returns, yet he might not even get a bat.

Its is a matter of time when Kumar will get injured after bowling non stop all day long.

[DC]

Is anyone else who enjoys taunting our Indian friends actually starting to feel some compassion now? This is brutal.

I'm just sad they have played so poorly in this series and look like they can't be bothered to make any effort to change things.
I'm very happy how England have played but feel abit sorry for the Indian fans. Only a little bit though

 

[WalkingWiggett]

KP lbw b Kumar 63

Reasonable decision according to Hawkeye.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

wheres everyone

[ShaunMarshRules]

shaunmarsh nice jinxing man

Shaun marsh himself last scored runs for Australia just before I chose this user name . Jinxing is what I do.

 

[JibranAnsari]

India should set an aggressive field and put some pressure on the batsmen.

 

[IgnitedMind]

I dont have words for what Pk is doing in this tour for India..he is bowling 25 overs a day...and puts in as much effort every ball unlikes sree or sharma who get all depressed after two fours.

Even bowling at 125 kph for so long is far from easy..

Spot on . He is the man for India this series and so Is Dravid.

 

[Sherlock]

I'll pre-empt the match result and say, Congratulations England on winning the series and becoming the new number 1. Congratulations to Whippy, Robert and fellow English supporters. Thoroughly outplayed India.

He's earned my respect. He's just not suited to a bowling spearhead role, but I think he's a dream backup bowler for a captain. Keeps an end tight, bowls wicket taking deliveries and if batsmen try to attack him as the first-change bowler, he could take a whole hatful of wickets. He's tiring now though.

 

[Ruri]

Century for Sreesanth up.

 

[1137moiz]

Huge respect for Praveen. One-man attack atm

 

[IgnitedMind]

True. And Sometimes think his hard toil is probably the reason why we are seeing him angry off the field. No one will like a fan badmouthing him after so much hard work.

 

[Sledger]

How long before Indian fans start rating Praveen as the next Mcgrath? Seems to be the case whenever one of their trundlers gets a few wickets (a la Zaheer). LOL.

 

[Sledger]

400 up for England.

 

[12cavalry]

Huge respect for Praveen. One-man attack atm

+1

Tremendous effort by this guy.

 

[Sledger]

Can Cook score more than the whole of India's side?

 

[JibranAnsari]

imagine a bowling lineup without praveen

 

[VTEC]

PK is a one man bowling attack

Bowled the most overs and conceded the least runs

 

[IgnitedMind]

How long before Indian fans start rating Praveen as the next Mcgrath? Seems to be the case whenever one of their trundlers gets a few wickets (a la Zaheer). LOL.

No one will. He has played 5 test matches lol !! but he does seem like a very good 1st change bowler at the moment. We seriously need to find some good fast bowlers!!! Somebody like Irfan pathan during 03-04 who had pace and swing. No hopes though

 

[Sledger]

400/3

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

400-3

 

[IgnitedMind]

I cant remember the last time we were so hopeless!!! Even in losses we gave fights in the last decade...but this is just

 

[Sledger]

LBW appeal, not given.

 

[Sledger]

4 leg byes too.

 

[12cavalry]

Poor Shastri, he can barely speak.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I cant remember the last time we were so hopeless!!! Even in losses we gave fights in the last decade...but this is just

It happens. Underprepared team and took this tour too easy.

 

[AZulfi]

Funny comment on cricinfo..

"someone needs to give the Indian team a screening of the movie 'The Third Man'. It's a good movie, and it is an equally good fielding position."

 

[IgnitedMind]

Kumar Just bowled his 150th over in the series it seems..saw it in an other forum. thats 30 a innings on average...and this innings is still not over yet !!!

 

[Sledger]

Tendulkar didn't react at all. )

 

[Sledger]

Congrats to Ishant '100<del>mph</del> runs' on a well played century.

 

[nish_mate]

Tendulkar didn't react at all. )

Should have gone to specsavers

 

[Sledger]

410/3.

 

[Robert]

I'm feeling terrible for Ravi Bopara. This might be his last chance to force Morgan out of the team before Trott returns, yet he might not even get a bat.

Oh, he will, Strauss will not declare short of 600 with that Indian line. It has to fire some time.

 

[IAJ]

Lols Botham and Holding together in the com box is a bad idea. They don't speak much.

 

[Sledger]

I don't think Strauss will declare full stop.

 

[IAJ]

huh cook is facing raina. Should be Morgan.

 

[DC]

Text to TMS: "Extras has now scored more than all but one of the Indians."

lol

 

[Sledger]

412/3.

 

[pear]

Can Cook score more than the whole of India's side?

Can this chap "Extras" out-score Dhoni? He's closing in on his half-century...

 

[Sledger]

Bad ball, put away for two.

 

[NJamal]

Dropped by Sree, lol

 

[Blitz]

What a drop! :kami

)))

 

[Sledger]

Dolly dropped by Sreesanth.. why is he at backward point anyway?

 

[IAJ]

Lols what a terrible miss!

 

[Sledger]

Got nowhere near it. )

 

[NJamal]

416/3

 

[Sledger]

416/3.

 

[Sledger]

Mishra returns.. economy over 4.

 

[SID_ZONE]

Dolly dropped by Sreesanth.. why is he at backward point anyway?

Doesn't matter at this stage who fields where, they are all looking to head back to dressing room

 

[Sledger]

True quality innings by Cook, a lesson in grinding bowlers down. India are completely deflated.

 

[insaftak]

Seeree Teaches us how to catch.

 

[Sledger]

Halftracker, stays down.. beats Dhoni and goes for four byes.. given as runs.

 

[Sledger]

Freebie, four to Cook.

201 lead now!

 

[Sledger]

51 run partnership too.

 

[NJamal]

England lead over 200 now.
