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

[Fireworks11]

We have to realise there are over 2 days to go.

 

[Blitz]

Sachin is on!


I'm guessing tv ratings in India must have fallen again

 

[Fireworks11]

Sachin comes on to have a bowl.

 

[Fireworks11]

It's all a bit of fun now.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

cook only a few runs away from averaging 50

 

[mithun_minhas]

How I wish the ball spun this way yesterday?????????

Mishra and Raina would have troubled English bastmen..

This is just a taste of what England would be facing when they tour Pak/India/Lanka

 

[Fireworks11]

He's bowling a mixture of leggies and offies.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

why england not declaring? lead is 400+

They are looking to inflict a far more humiliating defeat on India compared to the first 2 tests combined.

 

[Fireworks11]

Good turn. Past the outside edge.

 

[Blitz]

What a terrible ball )

Cook averaging 50 now.

Milking the bowling

 

[Fireworks11]

Short ball pulled for Four.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

They are looking to inflict a far more humiliating defeat on India compared to the first 2 tests combined.

i am quite seriously thinking that is the only case now....no more dinner and movie straight to the goods

 

[Fireworks11]

Mishra continues.

It was spinning this much yesterday. Mishra got huge turn day 1.

 

[Fireworks11]

Beaten, cherry is really talking now.

 

[Blitz]

Mishra continues.

More like misery continues

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Cook average over 50 now with that 4.

 

[Fireworks11]

636/6.

1000 is on.

 

[mithun_minhas]

why england not declaring? lead is 400+

Cook's triple ton...

But he is playing way too slowly considering the situation

 

[malakian]

I'm enjoying this, not often you see a leg spinner bowling on a turning track, miles more entertaining than watching Dartbhajan.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

rt @sprawlo fletcher's ?long term plan was to see england become no.1 in the world, i think he's achieved that :d

) ) )

 

[OZGOD]

India will be chasing 800 to win

 

[Fireworks11]

More like misery continues

Indeed, England really rubbing it in.

 

[mithun_minhas]

It was spinning this much yesterday. Mishra got huge turn day 1.

I did not see this much turn the first 2 days... Yes the odd ball spun. But not consistently like it is doing today...

I guess Swann would be happy to see this

clean your mouth out with soap ....he has made it large...ask his mothernvir

 

[Phool]

[srh]

may be england want to declare after Cook score 300

 

[DC]

why is not cook in any hurry?

Just the way he bats, a good thing imo. Hope he gets his triple hundred.

 

[Fireworks11]

Cook is quite something. He'll bat like this for days and days...

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

I think India are actually a couple of overs ahead of the required over rate.

 

[Fireworks11]

England should bat till lunch tomorrow.

I want a Grand from the Poms.

 

[Fireworks11]

Quick single to point.

641/6.

 

[Fireworks11]

Around 30 overs remaining today.

 

[Fireworks11]

Sachin is turning it both ways.

He's bowling better than Harbajan did.

 

[Fireworks11]

Tapped in to the off side.

Single.

 

[Fireworks11]

Dhoni looks shattered. His eyes speak a thousand words.

 

[Mobashir]

I think it' s quite frustratring batting from England, they should have declared with the overcast not good for tomorow!

 

[Fireworks11]

It's tea time.

646/6.

England in charge. Lead is 422.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Dhoni looks shattered. His eyes speak a thousand words.

when i look into his eyes all i hear is jaanum dekhlo mit gai duria mai yaha hoo yaha hoo yaha

 

[Blitz]

***?


Sanjay criticising England, and they are not acting as No.1 team.


Its ignored, as Gower says 'Maybe', and moves on )

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^ what did sanjay say???

 

[Fireworks11]

when i look into his eyes all i hear is jaanum dekhlo mit gai duria mai yaha hoo yaha hoo yaha

Have a good weekend.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Have a good weekend.

i jest )

 

[Phool]

What a fantastic innings from Cook

 

[Noman]

Hahahs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Will they declare?

 

[mithun_minhas]

The way cook is batting, he will take another 25 overs to score his 40 odd runs to get to 300...

This means England will have to pretty much bat the entire day today...

I think he will get instructions to get on with his scoring so that England can bowl at India for at least 15-20 overs.

 

[DC]

Will they declare?

After Cook gets his triple i guess.

 

[duostyle]

Cook brought his average from 47 to 50 in just one innings.

 

[Saad Hasan]

Will they declare?

No hurry, there are still two full days left after today and with good forecast....

England wouldn't want to be batting again in the match, two days ought to be enough to dismiss India and at the same time there should be enough runs onboard to draw, in case India bat out of their skins and survive for two days...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sreesanth praying to Jesus again

Help me Jesus.......

 

[Amjid Javed]

England need to keep batting until India get the last wicket! nothing but utter humilation should be the goal here!

 

[mithun_minhas]

England need to keep batting until India get the last wicket! nothing but utter humilation should be the goal here!

Is that England's wish or Pak fans wish?

 

[LegendsXI]

England need to keep batting until India get the last wicket! nothing but utter humilation should be the goal here!

+1. I think people are forgetting that two days are left, and india would do well to play 60-70 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Declare with 15 of tha day

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Sreesanth praying to Jesus again

Help me Jesus.......

should cover all his bases pray to budha allah and the kfc guy 2:kami

 

[WNC]

Bumble pointing out Gambhir's hand on Ishant's **** )

 

[Bullet Drive]

Indian fun boys.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Short wide and Handsome ...............

Sreesanth you beauty!!!!!!!!!

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..

 

[shan]

England wont declare before Cook 300?

 

[mithun_minhas]

should cover all his bases pray to budha allah and the kfc guy 2:kami

He is from Kerala... They all pray to Jesus usually

Its in their culture

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why doesn't Praveen get new ball.

 

[nads_rocks]

Test Cricket at its best this. Has been a tremendous thumping performance by England!!!

Huge total huge lead and in just 2 days!!!

 

[Fireworks11]

i jest )

Yeh..your Aussie.

 

[duostyle]

30 more from Cook and England might declare. I would.

 

[nads_rocks]

Has England caused Ishant Sharma to lose his hair???

 

[ninjafirstslip]

He is from Kerala... They all pray to Jesus usually

Its in their culture

i thought he was Buddhist he quotes alot of budhist ideals on twitter

 

[VTEC]

Cook about to cross Miandad and Zaheer Abbas now -.- BAH

 

[nads_rocks]

I like captaincy by Strauss he isnt selfish and lets his team mates get to their mile-stones. He will either declare when Cook makes his 300* or declare when they reach 700.

Either way they can even afford to bat the whole day as India cannot last 1 day let alone 2!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

cook is turning into a monster...never thought with looks like that he would actually become intimidating...and do hair product commercials

 

[Saad Hasan]

Is that England's wish or Pak fans wish?

It's those who are jealous of India

 

[ads101]

England need to score quicker. They're well ahead now, they need to open their shoulders and hit a few. Lead is enough already.

There's a good chance of rain today and in the next two days. Why even give India a sniff at even a draw?

India will go off for rain, and for bad light too. So I dunno why England are going on at this sort of run rate. It's not needed.

In fact England should declare now and get a good number of overs before the close. This total is far too much for India to chase now

 

[Saad Hasan]

i thought he was Buddhist he quotes alot of budhist ideals on twitter

And you follow him on twitter, you must be an indian...

 

[mithun_minhas]

i thought he was Buddhist he quotes alot of budhist ideals on twitter

He could be...

A lot of Hindus pray to Buddha. Not surprising... Even my house had a picture of Buddha among all other Gods.

 

[Serendipity]

Emabarrassing for India, the so called no 1 team!

 

[ads101]

I don't like this captaincy, it's silly. Cook'll get another chance at the 300. England should have a bowl today, and if they wait till cook gets the 300, they won't have time/have very little time.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^intriguing

 

[dhump]

I think Cook should gear up there is really no need to waste time should put india in to bat max after 10 to 15 overs.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

And you follow him on twitter, you must be an indian...

no no and no just have alot of time on my hands lol and you dont need to follow ppl on twitter to read there tweets
