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

[NJamal]

553/3

 

[W63L35]

England should declare as soon as Cook gets his 250..... in next 10-15 minutes. Otherwise this test may end up being a draw!

 

[nish_mate]

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

Dunno mate got no idea am just following the game from work [sic]

 

[nish_mate]

Raina to Morgan, 2 runs, 90.9 kph, flighted on off stump, Morgan drives straight through Sehwag at cover. I can't believe Sehwag is Test-fit, much like I don't believe in UFOs. I believe what I see.


Even CricIndia's on to it

this has got to be one of the worst bowling performance from a major test playing nation in bowler friendly conditions (overcast muggy) for a long time i can remember

i would even bet my house that zimbabwe and bangladesh would have done better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tomorrow Headlines...............



Cook Cooks Indian bowlers...........to death.

Are you a Pakistani?

Serious question...

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Please tell me someone took a screen shot of the Cook Vs SRT stats just shown on SKY TV?

Please!

[nish_mate]

A gem from my mate @ work

"Only good thing with Raina bowling is that he may lose some weight"

 

[NJamal]

The bowlers had been wonderful : Gavaskar

 

[NJamal]

563/3

 

[NJamal]

Bad light stops play.

 

[Saqs]

Desperate tactics lol.

 

[duostyle]

Can't take the phainty anymore.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

England going off for bad light? To Raina and Mishra? This is absolutely ridiculous. The umpires should be sacked.

 

[Saqs]

Nah Dhoni was bringing on his quick bowlers knowing that there is no power to turn lights on.

 

[Justcrazy]

England should have continued batting here......... the bowling is not that threatening.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lol at Sanjay Manjrekar )

 

[AZulfi]

...Meanwhile indian bowlers unbeaten streak continues. The (overnight) batsmen are so far unbeaten against them

 

[duostyle]

England going off for bad light? To Raina and Mishra? This is absolutely ridiculous. The umpires should be sacked.

Dhoni was going to bring in the seamers, tactical move to limit the mauling as there are no lights - so umpires decide to call it off.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why do you need to go off the field when all the batsmen are going to face are spinners

 

[IgnitedMind]

This is beyond humiliation

I will be beyond elated if we draw this

 

[LethalSami]

to save the English batsmen (563/3) from the phaaaaasssttt indians relentless bowling.............umpires have stopped the play

BOOOOOOOOO

 

[nish_mate]

This is beyond humiliation

I will be beyond elated if we draw this

At last!!!!

A fellow Indian fan on the thread

 

[Saqs]

Can you imagine the ridicule if a Pakistani or Indian ground didn't have power and caused this situation?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

common even thier fast bowlers are too drawn out to bowl anything threatening to set batsmen

 

[nish_mate]

to save the English batsmen (563/3) from the phaaaaasssttt indians relentless bowling.............umpires have stopped the play

BOOOOOOOOO

The mystical power of BCCI-that's the only way they can help the team

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Not in their hands, the umpires decide light by the new rules.

 

[Lara400]

Complete joke

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Can you imagine the ridicule if a Pakistani or Indian ground didn't have power and caused this situation?

all the english would be tut tutting with tea and biscuits dilevered by their waiter Jamal

 

[IgnitedMind]

At last!!!!

A fellow Indian fan on the thread

I visit it...just dont know what to post

 

[James]

Sanjay is so smug and shameless, he's loving it.

India have been an embarrassment since day one of the tour and, despi e their best efforts, will pay the price in the end.

 

[nish_mate]

Any1 knows any pikeys in B'ham?

They can earn a fortune by getting them to loot/ransack the Edgbaston overnight...

BCCI will reward generously

 

[Lara400]

No respite for the Indians, I think they are coming back on

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Dhoni was going to bring in the seamers, tactical move to limit the mauling as there are no lights - so umpires decide to call it off.

Still a joke decision. Medium pacers are no threat to set batsmen on a flat pitch, unless it's absolutely dark. I would hope there was no way the batsmen would have accepted the light. with the power to be restored soon (hopefully), the umpires should have just carried on for 15-20 minutes.

 

[Fireworks11]

Single. 3rd man.

 

[Fireworks11]

2 runs.

Morgan is 91*

 

[Fireworks11]

Sharma.....pulled for four.

 

[Lara400]

FOUR for Morgan, nice shot

 

[Blitz]

Repulsive ball pulled for

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

:4

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

And now the players are back on without any floodlights. Taufell and Davis = fail . Hopefully, they won't do something stupid like this again.

 

[Fireworks11]

Men against boys.

95* for Morgan

 

[Fireworks11]

That took off, Dhoni took it at his face.

570/3

 

[Fireworks11]

Mishra is on now.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

570/3

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

mishra on

 

[Blitz]

3 taken of another hideous ball

 

[Fireworks11]

Cook should change gears...someone like KP would have capitalised and hit the accelerator.

He has a marvellous opportunity to beat Lara's record.

 

[Lara400]

Gambhir cleaned out

 

[W63L35]

I think, England will (should) declare after Morgan's 100.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Ghambir takes another blow on the elbow!!

 

[Lara400]

He'll be coming off before long

 

[Fireworks11]

Gambhir gets thwacked at short leg

 

[DC]

570/3

 

[Fireworks11]

I think, England will (should) declare after Morgan's 100.

I would tell Cook to up the ante to try and beat Lara's 400.

 

[Fireworks11]

England bowlers chilling in the dressing room. They're loving it.

 

[Fireworks11]

Left alone by Eoin.

Ravi still waits...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I hope england bat till close of play today.

 

[Blitz]

I think, England will (should) declare after Morgan's 100.

No way. If that were true, atleast Cook would be in T20 mode.


Both players are leaving atleast 5 balls an over.

They gonna beat this revolting bowling attack for a long time

 

[Fireworks11]

Nearly nicked it, did Morgan.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i think these 2 should up the ante from here

 

[Fireworks11]

Maiden over.

574/3.

 

[Lara400]

I would tell Cook to up the ante to try and beat Lara's 400.

ah hem...

 

[USIND]

I would tell Cook to up the ante to try and beat Lara's 400.

 

[Blitz]

Ghastly bowling this.

They've got half their fielders on the boundary

 

[pak4life]

I'm starting to feel a tad sorry for the Indians......not really

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Selfish batting going on... I can understand Morgan being catious for his hundred... but Cook has no excuses

 

[James]

Ravi might not get a bat

 

[Fireworks11]

Misfield...Morgan is 99*

 

[Blitz]

Another misfield. Shocking!

 

[ninjafirstslip]

i am slowly wanting india to take a wicket...its like punching a baby in its pram...even though the baby deserved it:kami

 

[Fireworks11]

Cook is still in the same mode lol

 

[Fireworks11]

Morgan will be on strike now...

 

[Fireworks11]

Good turn by Amit

 

[Fireworks11]

That's the Hundred!

 

[Blitz]

100 for Morgan

 

[Ruri]

Well done morgan!
