[Phool]

Dravid on 86

 

[Ruri]

Bah Anderson, this bowling is too good for a tailender, just bowl full fast and straight.

Dravid avereging 77 in this series

 

[Phool]

 

[Phool]

Dravid moves on to 90

 

[Phool]

[Noman]

Swann should give it air and try to spin from the ruff make dravid come on the front foot and than bowl the fast..

 

[Phool]

Dravid on 99

 

[RWAC]

Well played Dravid. Deserves a standing ovation.

 

[Phool]

and 100 to Dravid

 

[IgnitedMind]

[12cavalry]

Take a bow sir!!
You are a class apart.

 

[Phool]

What an innings it has been!

 

[duostyle]

Dravid is class.

 

[W63L35]

Dravid is class.

Classier than a lot of fake classes!!

[Ruri]

Dravid is brilliant.

 

[Phool]

lbw appeal turned down

 

[Phool]

India 172/6

 

[Noman]

Im surprice the england havet tried bouncer to mishra???

 

[cricfan4ever]

take a bow Dravid, sheer class!!! while his other 'superstar' & more 'celebrated' mates have flopped badly, he has risen to the challenge against a dominant England team. Hats off to Rahul!

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder how long Indian Tail can wag

 

[Sledger]

Mishra looks a decent bat lol.

Dravid proving his class as usual, under massive pressure too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra has highest score of 50.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kevin Pietersen should not be bowling now.

 

[Sledger]

That was close!

 

[Sledger]

Spinning down leg though.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kevin Pietersen should not be bowling, specialist bowler should be bowling.

 

[James]

Swann needs to work on his tactics against tail-enders.

He always seems to get out good top/middle-order players then go missing after six down.

 

[Sledger]

Edged for four, Bresnan bowling well.

50 partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dravid has currently 12720 runs. Looking really good for 14 K easily.

 

[Sledger]

Scrambled seam from Bresnan.

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen's bowling is actually pretty good for part-timers standards. Better than Udal.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra is no mug with the bat.

 

[Awesome_Username]

"Atleast he's proved useful somewhere, RP Singh, creating footmarks for the England off spinners" - Gavaskar, on Pietersen getting big turn out of the footmarks.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bresnan looking for his first wicket in this Test.

 

[Saqs]

Is this Indias best batting session for the series?

1/90 so far

 

[Noman]

Why are England waiting for the new bowl??? should try them to bowl out..

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership already 56 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why are England waiting for the new bowl??? should try them to bowl out..

I think they are trying. There is bound to be partnership. All cannot collapse every time.

 

[Noman]

England lacking intensy

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

That would have been runout if the ball had hit the stumps.

 

[Sledger]

India get to 200, just 100 more needed for the magic figure and Gambhir is still to bat!

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Pietersen's bowling is actually pretty good for part-timers standards. Better than Udal.

KP started junior cricket as a legspinner who could bat a bit. That said, you're jinxing him.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Amit Mishra the new

 

[velu]

I am sure Harby is bit worried about mishras batting

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra looking good, 31 not out.

 

[James]

Ultimately, this is a flat pitch. I don't know why there is abundant worry and criticism.

 

[Sledger]

211/6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mishra clearly looks like someone who has worked hard on his batting.

 

[Sledger]

KP started junior cricket as a legspinner who could bat a bit. That said, you're jinxing him.

I thought he started as an offspinner who could bat? (Playing FC in SA).

 

[MVP26]

england need to remove the tail quick

 

[Sledger]

Bopara the quickest Indian bowler on show.

 

[Blitz]

81mph

Bopara faster then Kumar/Sreesanth/Singh, and he only bowls from a couple of steps!


)))

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

74 runs partnership good going

 

[Sledger]

Last over before lunch.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mishra should open the innings and sehwag should come down the order

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is England bowling part timers here?????

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

I thought he started as an offspinner who could bat? (Playing FC in SA).

Yups. Sorry about the misspeak. Ravi Bopara bowling faster than RP Singh - 131 kms that last ball. That's kind of embarassing for Inda...

 

[MVP26]

last over till lunch

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Sunil Gavaskar suggesting the Indians should have forced the last over to be lunch with discussions/pitch gardening etc. Isn't that blatantly breaking the rules on time-wasting?

 

[Sledger]

218/6.. Mishra hits a six to get to lunch.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

218/6

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mishra taking revenge from Strauss for not letting him get his double ton

 

[MVP26]
