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

[Fawad2010]

England lead by 232 runs with 7 wickets

How much more will ENG score? and will Indian bowlers manage to get a few wickets?

Action starts in 40 mins time

Edit: Just checked the time, it appears match wont start till an hour and 10 min. apologize for the early thread but I just finished Sehri and am kinda excited!

 

[shahidafridi123]

Looking forward to it! Come on Cook!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hope Cook plays a gem again is only 220 short of a well deserved milestone

 

[Fireworks11]

This could be the smackdown day.

[shahidafridi123]

^^^^ Thanks for using my smiley!

[Fawad2010]

Assignment for today: Use all the words Blitz just posted

 

[Fireworks11]

It's a cool smiley, it should be on PP.

 

[Lara400]

Man theres no words do describe this massacre in daylight

Its gonna be non stop for the Indians

 

[Blitz]

Assignment for today: Use all the words Blitz just posted

I'm not sure we have enough

 

[shahidafridi123]

It's a cool smiley, it should be on PP.

We could ask the mods who come on this thread to add it.

 

[Noman]

How the weather??? any rapport??

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Blitz i will use rotten!

 

[Lara400]

How the weather??? any rapport??

Similar to yesterday, sun trying to breakthrough

 

[Lara400]

England have a lead of 232 runs and day 3 has not yet started

 

[Blitz]

How the weather??? any rapport??

No covers, so all looks good.

Bit cloudy though

 

[Lara400]

Cook needs to get the double

 

[Lara400]

Play should start on time. I wouldn't be surprised if the Indian pacers have lower speeds today, they really have been run ragged.

 

[malakian]

Indian bloke on Sky Sports talking sense. Perhaps the BCCI should hire him.

 

[LegendsXI]

Score 800 hundred and beat india by an innings and 400

 

[Fireworks11]

India will toil away today. They shouldn't give up though.

 

[Lara400]

When do you think England will declare if they don't get bowled out?

 

[Lara400]

India will toil away today. They shouldn't give up though.

I seriously think they gave up after day 1

 

[Amjid Javed]

England should bat till Lunch tomorrow and get 1000 runs and declare and then humilate India by an inns and 600 runs

 

[Blitz]

Ouch!

ripping the Indians to shreds

 

[Amjid Javed]

When do you think England will declare if they don't get bowled out?

Tomorrow lunch time.

 

[Lara400]

Tomorrow lunch time.

By which time the lead might be 732

 

[Lara400]

Ouch!

ripping the Indians to shreds

oooohhhh

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Ouch!

ripping the Indians to shreds

What is he saying?

 

[Fireworks11]

England will play fairly, they won't finish it today ... It would be saddening for tomorrow's crowd.

 

[Lara400]

No Indian poster so far?

 

[Blitz]

What is he saying?

Very long story.

Basic jist.


Sehwag is a disgrace to cricket.

Laxman should know better then to wonder around doing nothing.

Bowling is abysmal.

Bowling isn't trying hard enough.

Ishant is useless.

Dhoni's captaincy is useless.

Dhoni's keeping is useless. Should have come up for Kumar.

Mishra is useless.

Mishra is stupid for not changing ends for over a 100 overs!



Forgot the rest )

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Dhoni's keeping is useless. Should have come up for Kumar.


BUT he is medium pacer ) dhoni would need extra protection to stop such lightning bolts

 

[tahir_dj]

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." :on cricinfo

Lol Nasser is showing no mercy to India.

 

[NJamal]

Teeli to start the proceedings.

 

[Lara400]

England has past 450 9 times in the past 12 innings!!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^ and who says cricinfo is bias )

 

[Random Aussie]

No Indian poster so far?

Lol the amount of Indian posters on PP swells with an Indian win and ebbs when they lose. It was at an all time high after the WC. I expect the majority of those to go hide now.

SG, freelance_cricketer and a few others will be following. Cheerleaders aint gonna be around today though....

 

[NJamal]

Hope cook scores a triple ton.

 

[Fawad2010]

Just listening to is making me )

 

[Random Aussie]

England fans and commies have a right to be upset by the way, they would have expected a competitive Indian side. They haven't given a yelp yet.

Edit - Dravid excepted as usual

 

[Blitz]

Sleazeball sends down a sleazy delivery which is walloped away for

[Fawad2010]

Does Dhoni know that having a 3rd man is not prohibited?

its just sad at this point

 

[NJamal]

Kumar the work horse to bowl.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

another :4 by Morgan nice shot

 

[Blitz]

Another revolting ball is hit away for

 

[Amjid Javed]

England should bat all day and look to be 850-900 by the close off play

 

[NJamal]

by Morgan

 

[Lara400]

Aggers - The fielder is making sluggish progress, hes dived and missed it!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i expect a wicket within the first 5 or 6 overs or it is defiantly all over for india

 

[Random Aussie]

Abhorrent bowling is abhorrent

 

[Blitz]

50 for Morgan

 

[NJamal]

50 for Morgan

 

[AZ]

Another hopeless fielding effort to start the day.

Mishra once again.

 

[Lara400]

Sharp single taken. Laxman still has his hands in his pockets.

50 for Morgan

 

[Lara400]

10 runs in 10 minutes

Our friends have gone M.I.A from;

+ the ground (Egdbaston) ... I guess nobdy wants to watch their no.1 team (soon to be no.2) perform to the best of their abilities.

+ this commentary thread... when their own team is playing. I have seen more Indians in Pakistani match commentary thread that this.

+ the forum in general.


oya kithay O...... zara chehra te karao!

[Lara400]

Ganguly on TMS at lunch to discuss whats happened to India why are they performing like this or lack off.

 

[Random Aussie]

India yeh match haar jaahinge.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Cook on 188

 

[NJamal]

With this performance Indian deserves to be No.7 in Test rankings.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

[Blitz]

Very light rain stops play.

 

[Fawad2010]

I am pretty sure the bowling attack ZIM had in that recent match was a lot better from this one.

 

[Lara400]

Bit of rain, players going off

 

[duostyle]

India yeh match haar jaahinge.

India zehni tor per kamzor haen.

Are you sure you're an Aussie?

 

[NJamal]

Rain stops the play. Relieve for India for the moment.
