[Ashraful_Rox]

:4 more take that Sreesanth

 

[NJamal]

498/5

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Gambhir's have I made it large ad

He scored with a large Indian player so he has made it large

 

[NJamal]

Singh into the attack

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Sree is such an idiot.

I love him. India should encourage him to go crazy, at least he looks like he cares then.

 

[OZGOD]

Did Dhoni take Sharma off to delay his ton?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Singh vs Bopara, both playing for their careers

 

[Blitz]

Century for RP singh!!

 

[NJamal]

500 up for England

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Did Dhoni take Sharma off to delay his ton?

He was bowling rubbish, but Ishant deserved his ton guess RP will get his ton before him on 99*

 

[NJamal]

by Bell

 

[NJamal]

Another 100 for an Indian bowler, they all are really playing out of their skins, well played.

 

[NJamal]

507/5

 

[Noman]

Ravi playing too slow.. give the strike to bell for god sake

 

[Noman]

What do Strauus and Flower see in Ravii ..Ravi is not a international class batsman.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

5000 runs for Ian Bell, Congrats lad

 

[NJamal]

by Bopara

 

[NJamal]

511/5

 

[W63L35]

Last 10 ovs 53/2 RR 5.30

 

[Robert]

What do Strauus and Flower see in Ravii ..Ravi is not a international class batsman.

Ravi has three centuries in his 12 tests.

 

[Noman]

Bell average will also be 50 soon because of India.. Thanks INdia

 

[Noman]

Ravi has three centuries in his 12 tests.

VS West Indians.. MOYO was scoring runs against WI with one eye

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

What do Strauus and Flower see in Ravii ..Ravi is not a international class batsman.

I'd say the same of morgan in tests.

 

[Noman]

Ravi is average batsman...Taylor is a lot better...

 

[Noman]

I'd say the same of morgan in tests.

Morgen can hit the spinners and he plays well under pressure , can not say the same about Ravi.. Morgen plays better in pressure..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bopara is short of confidence, but he'll bounce back he's the next

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

no ball by a leg spinner

 

[Munna]

good flying dive from RP singh there

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Morgen can hit the spinners and he plays well under pressure , can not say the same about Ravi.. Morgen plays better in pressure..

Morgan can hit the spinners. As for playing under pressure.....maybe in odis, but I haven't seen him ever make a score in tests without dropped chances.


I don't have issues with him mentally, but his technique looks a bit loose, nicking behind often. Better bowlers and more helpful bowling conditions will find him out, I expect. If he proves me wrong, good on him. Let's see if Bopara can cash in on Morgan's slipup today.

 

[Munna]

this is getting comically easy now for england to bat against this bowling attack

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Who will be the first Indian to score a Double century today?
Mishra on 137*
Sreesan 123*
RP Sing 112 *
Ishant 97*

 

[Sanchez]

Sharma must be itching to complete his ton, bring him back Dhoni !

 

[Noman]

People are saying spin in this pitch?? Where is the spin?? or misra cant spin the bowl or what??

 

[12cavalry]

Why does RP always has this stupid smile on his face

 

[iHammad]

) )

This is too easy for Bell

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What should be the ideal speed for a leg spinner? Warne used to ball at around 50 -55 mph right or was it faster

 

[Noman]

Bobara is rubbish vs Spin..

 

[Noman]

What should be the ideal speed for a leg spinner? Warne used to ball at around 50 -55 mph right or was it faster

its important to have the zip like Murali, And Saglain had.. Warne had also wounderful zip... Mishra do not have zip...

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Nasser Hussain making fun of Ravi here . I wonder if he's trying to imply something...saying Ravi's a bit dopey, not a professional, one of the old school players who'd show up fora sunday league game in his 20-20 gear and vice versa

 

[12cavalry]

What a shot from Bell.

 

[Noman]

Why do Flower and company think Bobara is world class vs spin.. In the wc 2011. still hasnt learnt..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo Bell gone

 

[iHammad]

What an awesome innings

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Raina has looked the best Indian spinner. I'm not even taking the mickey or mocking India, I honestly think he's shown more accuracy and variation of length than the others. Credit to the man, honestly that's not a backhanded compliment.

 

[Justcrazy]

I have afeeling they would declare after lunch.

 

[Sledger]

Bopara sucks.

 

[Sledger]

Four to Prior.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara is looking good, he would look to get a big one, but i think declaration is near.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Boom Boom Prior on, will be fun now

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina has 2 wickets......

 

[Sledger]

567/6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra is wicketless after 35 overs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mishra on 155

 

[Sledger]

Horrible ball, just one to Prior.

 

[Sledger]

Mishra is wicketless after 35 overs.

Not as bad as RP.

 

[Sledger]

569/6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina is bowling well....

 

[Justcrazy]

4 byesssssss by Mishra.

 

[Sledger]

How can Mishra not take wickets here..? Quite a helpful wicket for him.

 

[Noman]

Dravid will open.. ghambir not fielding????

 

[Sledger]

Missed runout. )

 

[Sledger]

579/6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra 37 overs ......... 161 runs NO WICKETS.

 

[Justcrazy]

582/6

 

[Sledger]

582/6.

 

[OZGOD]

If that hack Bopara gets a ton against India I will laugh.

 

[12cavalry]

ownage )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mishra on 168 :4

 

[Sledger]

Reverse sweep for four lol.

 

[Sledger]

England have treated every Indian spinner like children.

 

[Sledger]

591/6.

 

[Watsupdoc]

I feel a bit sorry for Mishra now... 0 - 170...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Raina looks like the only fielder who gives everything

 

[Sledger]

Strauss shouldn't bat for much longer than 600 imo, should try and force a win.

 

[Noman]

Guys is Ghambir fielding?

 

[Sledger]

591/6 at lunch.

 

[Sledger]

Program on Miandad Vs Lillee at the interval. )

This will be good.

 

[Justcrazy]

England should declare after lunch........ no point in playing.

 

[Khabri420]

I hope Amnesty International is keeping a close eye on this test match )
