[ScotRaz]

Are England testing the new ICC idea of the 4 day game? Look's like this will be only lasting 4 days also!

[Sledger]

Rain has stopped, they should be back for 10 minutes before lunch.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Whats with the religion aye?

Should i remind you last summer a sajda doing bunch of Muslims sold their country away?

oh super sorry i didnt mean it that way..i meant hindu as in hindustani
totally my fault:kami

 

[Munna]

i reckon even if it keeps raining the whole day... eng can afford to declare right away tomorrow and still have 2 complete days to finish this off in their favor

 

[Sledger]

Covers are going on..

Match can finish today if England declare now

 

[ninjafirstslip]

british weather annoys me greatly

 

[Justcrazy]

279 ahead, 7 wickets, from here England will look to get to a lead of 500 and then put India back..... that will be the idea I think.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

champ

 

[Sledger]

Early lunch taken.

 

[Lara400]

The guy is class

 

[Sledger]

So India fail to take a wicket in another session.

 

[Sledger]

503/3..

 

[ninjafirstslip]

totally unrelated but cook has pretty good hair as well :rana

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Cook is just too good.

 

[Robert]

Cooky is so single minded and plays within his limitations, like Steve Waugh.

no player like waugh he could back chat ambrose and still look like he is talking to a toddler. MAN OF STEEL

Saurav has just killed me with boredom on TMS

Sachin always thinking about his 100 instead of helping his team mates :Warne

 

[NJamal]

508/3

 

[NJamal]

2 more to Morgan

 

[nish_mate]

Has Mishy got a BELLY strain as well from thoonsing all those parathas??

Raina must have downed a few bacardi's during lunch-apparently that's his tiple of choice...

 

[NJamal]

512/3

 

[W63L35]

"To sum up what is happening with India in this series : They are being
'cook'ed, 'strauss'matized, 'bell'ed (as in cat), dis"m"organized,
'kevin'ced, 'bopara'lyzed, de-prioritized, 'broad'sided, 'swann'kered,
an"derided"son, 'bresnan'hilated."

Really sums it up...

 

[NJamal]

Shot by Morgan for

 

[Phool]

 

[NJamal]

A couple more to Morgan

 

[nish_mate]

Really sums it up...

Your Honour i oppose to "'bopara'lyzed"
That is yet to be proven

[NJamal]

50 for Extras

 

[NJamal]

523/3

 

[NJamal]

England lead is 300 now.

 

[nish_mate]

50 for Extras

Should induct him into the Indian team ASAP for batting

The tale of Indian team....

Our batsmen's figures look like bowling analysis and our bowlers numbers look like a batting scorecard

If only they could be swapped around.......

 

[NJamal]

Sree is begging for a wicket.

 

[Law]

Did Sreeshant just tempered??

 

[NJamal]

526/3

 

[NJamal]

Did Sreeshant just tempered??

I think he was just hiding the ball, showing the batsman that he can reverse it while he can't. lol

Yeah but before that..

 

[NJamal]

531/3

 

[NJamal]

Yeah but before that..

I missed it then.

 

[LethalSami]

Vasa: "Flash News: President Pratibha Patil has just now anounced the 'Bharat Ratna', to be given on Independence Day, to the next Indian Bowler who gets a wicket. " Ah. Won't be a bad idea to get Tendulkar on then.

) that is quite humorous

533/3

 

[ads101]

England really need to up the strike rate now. Cook should start hitting, and Morgan maybe get his century first then start hitting. There's enough of a lead already now. Rains coming in and England will want to maximise as much time as possible to bowl India out.

 

[NJamal]

Mishra Ji into attack

 

[1137moiz]

Hilarious comment on CI:


Madhu again: "Sreesanth has conceded over 100 runs in an innings on six occasions. Four of those have come since November 2010." To be fair to Sreesanth, he wasn't a fixture in the team until late 2010. I don't know now if that was really being fair to Sreesanth.

 

[Lara400]

Carnage continues

 

[Lara400]

Mishra's on, there should be some no balls

 

[Lara400]

Morgan goes downtown and misses

 

[Lara400]

There you go no ball

 

[NJamal]

No ball & 2 leg byes

 

[NJamal]

537/3

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i wonder if is commentating on the match on some second tier news channel right now...seeing mishra no balls would be quite funny

 

[NJamal]

539/3

 

[NJamal]

England should up the tempo now.

 

[nish_mate]

Why are they not hitting boundaries!!!

Grrrrrrrrr..................

 

[NJamal]

543/3

 

[nish_mate]

Get SRT on, thats the only way he is going to score a 100 on this tour.....

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

543-3

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni must be wondering, how long he would be on the field........ its looking really gloomy for Indians.

I am sure it must be frustrating for them to see England pile on runs by tons.

 

[NJamal]

Cook had now scored more than the entire Indian team in the 1st innings.

Where are the effing Bookies when you need them

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina has already bowled 18 overs........... why is Dhoni trying shewag or Tendulkar or even himself?????????

Their the statesmen, they just stand at one point and chill

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra is currently averaging 40 with the ball, I do not think that it will improve in this match.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

All that effort by Cook to get a single.... just hit the damn ball man!!

 

[W63L35]

Sachin always thinking about his 100 instead of helping his team mates :Warne

Did Warne say that?

There goes his IPL contract!

 

[NJamal]

548/3

 

[nish_mate]

Did Warne say that?

There goes his IPL contract!

He retired from IPL and T20 last year

The man can speak his mind now

 

[W63L35]

No.. honestly ... did he say that?

 

[NJamal]

Did Warne say that?

He retired from IPL already.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead already 324 runs .......... but I have a feeling that England would grind the Indian bowlers more and will not declare today. Just to make sure they are really down in the 4th test also.
