England vs India | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 18-22 | Day 2

[NJamal]

320/2

 

[NJamal]

RP Singh into attack

 

[MRSN]

Rahul Dravid should have bowled ahead of RP to be honest. This guy is just awful, they thought that he'll do what he did at Lord's in 2007 I guess...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/258468.html

that's what you get when you play someone in test cricket based on his IPL performance.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

118 kph RP Singh

 

[akheR]

"RP Singh 481 deliveries since his last Test wicket"

 

[Fawad2010]

most bowlers have a slow ball in their armor, I wonder if RP has a faster one....

 

[MRSN]

Nasser bashing Indian team here...says "the question is how much this Indian team is interested to play test cricket?you see Zaheer come and go, Harbhjan come and go,Paraveen come and go, Sehwag on the field off the field."

 

[Watsupdoc]

HHAH those ads are totally gone.

Haha thought so )

 

[Fawad2010]

RP averaging in 40's now

 

[NJamal]

324/2

 

[Fawad2010]

Aneesh: "I don't know which one but quite surely the Indian bowlers are waiting one of two things - either a wicket to fall or the day's play to end."

Cricinfo

they are waiting for the declaration

 

[Watsupdoc]

Everyone in the indian team should be given a bowl, maybe something will happen!

 

[MRSN]

lbw shout but it was going down the leg side.

 

[NJamal]

326/2, Lol @ the frustration of Sree for not taking a wicket.

 

[Clip]

The Indian par score for this tour is what? 250? That would make 450 for England the follow-on target, 650 to win outright?

 

[MRSN]

RP's run up is awful..doesn't look match fit at all.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Indi is getting thrashed here... (as usual)

 

[NJamal]

What a Shot by KP for

 

[akheR]

Feel bad for the Indian bowlers...

I really do.

RP Singh averaging 41.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Sreesant actually looking a bit more penetrative now. And coincidentally, the first time he's hit 140 today- he's consistently hitting the high 130s now. Why doesn't he do this the whole day? Why doesn't the entire Indian team?

 

[NJamal]

Wide by Singh

 

[MRSN]

lovely shot by KP

 

[Clip]

Was that 12 off the Singh over?

 

[NJamal]

another by KP

 

[NJamal]

338/2

 

[akheR]

Another

 

[MRSN]

We are in for some good hitting here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Andy Flower averaged 95 vs India

 

[Sledger]

This is probably the worst non-minnow bowling attack I've seen in test cricket.

 

[akheR]

Just heard that Andy Flower loved to have the Indian bowling as breakfast - Bradmasesque average of 95.

 

[MRSN]

Inside edge for a single..Sre is bowling well here.

 

[Clip]

This is probably the worst non-minnow bowling attack I've seen in test cricket.

You have to ask how much worse Ireland or Canada would have been in this series.

 

[Sledger]

Sreesanth fired up at last. The ball is actually reaching the bat!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kp's smile says it all

 

[NJamal]

341/2

 

[Sledger]

I am talking about the bowling attack in this test match only btw. An unfit RP ahead of Praveen has made this attack look like a club team.

 

[Sledger]

Four more to Bell.

 

[NJamal]

Shot by Bell for

 

[Sledger]

This is the last wicket in the world you want to be using trundlers on.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Rp Sing is terrible

 

[akheR]

I am talking about the bowling attack in this test match only btw. An unfit RP ahead of Praveen has made this attack look like a club team.

That's how Nasser rightly described their pace arsenal on the 1st day If I correctly remember.
They should try out Hamid Hassan from Afghanistan, can't do worse.

 

[Sledger]

250 partnership.

 

[NJamal]

347/2

 

[MRSN]

RR is always improving.

 

[Sledger]

No Nasser was nicer, he thought they were at least county standard.

 

[Sledger]

Sreesanth is finally giving India something to be hopeful about. He's actually trying to make something happen, which you need to do at the Oval. The wicket is flat but will always give the best bowlers a little bit if they put the effort in.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sreesanth finally bowling with some pace

 

[JibranAnsari]

700 for england and 700 for india. a good draw it seems

 

[Fireworks11]

450 by tonight is on

 

[Sledger]

Charged and hit for four.

 

[akheR]

Cricinfo :

"Some one please compare Shahid Afridi's speed to that of RP Singh's Im sure the former will win," says sarthak.

Oh, and by KP!

 

[Fawad2010]

RR above 3.5 now

 

[Sledger]

Pulled for four now. India getting bullied again.

 

[MRSN]

pulled away for and its no ball too.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

RP singh was apparently on vacation in Miami. He should just go back, come back next year, play IPL, become "rockstar", make sh!t load of money and go back to vacation.

No place for trundlers in Intl' cricket.

 

[Fawad2010]

Sree wants his 100 fast

 

[Fireworks11]

Shambles.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Andrew Flintoff's thought on Indians

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/14579867.stm

 

[Fawad2010]

RP has bowled 84 overs since he got his last wicket (504balls)

 

[akheR]

All rockstars singing for a well-needed wicket...
Oh, apart from the non-delusional bowler.

 

[sarmad1983]

Pietersen drives back at him, Sree doesn't quite manage to pick up but still aims a throw. He follows that with a wonderfully 'mean' stare and some words. It's like Warne, without any of the bowling threat

-cricinfo

 

[Fireworks11]

Bangladesh would be more of a threat.

 

[Sledger]

Sehwag appealing lol.

 

[Sledger]

Bangladesh WERE more of a threat. India have been listless all tour.

 

[MRSN]

14 overs 65 runs in this session at 4.65 RR

 

[Sledger]

Can India get another wicket tonight?

 

[Sledger]

"RP Singh looks like he's bowling throwdowns"

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Can India get another wicket tonight?

no

 

[MRSN]

Can India get another wicket tonight?

doesn't look like

 

[Sledger]

Lol, as if MS Dhoni will get banned. ci

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen looks tired.

 

[Sledger]

Driven straight for four.

 

[Sledger]

368/2.

 

[Saad Hasan]

From CricIndia commentary...somebody calling their idiotic India pace (15 kph less then the rest of the world) criteria out:

Drinks England batsmen in no rush, and why would they be. Bat-once policy is they way they're going. "The scorecard on Cricinfo says RP Singh (lfm) - LOL! Whats the f doing there?," asks Sriram Ramesh. Indeed, what the f is it doing there?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

:4

 

[MRSN]

Lovely shot from bell, such a classy player he is.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

368/2

 

[Sledger]

271 partnership - It's not the highest 3rd wicket one at the Oval.

 

[Sledger]

Mishra on.

 

[MRSN]

Mishra is on
