sharma in

 

[ethan hunt]

so teenda the choker makes a meal of another savable game :rana

 

[dhump]

This series has shown how overrated India's batting is tbh.

Well true really true terribly overrated I mean let alone conditions they cant stand ball bouncing and moving, they will help themselves and play in India now.

 

[Sledger]

150 dismissals for Prior.

 

[IAJ]

Sharma is a decent defender.

 

[Sledger]

Gambhir will just play for a nice little not out here... If he can lol.

 

[the Great Khan]

flat pitches and a hundred matches against the lankans coming up!

 

[Fireworks11]

Players gonna hit the pubs/clubs tonight.

 

[Sledger]

Kanye Trott watching on from the dressing room.

 

[duostyle]

Where's the whitewash thread

 

[the Great Khan]

Gambler will just play for a nice little not out here... If he can lol.

the fauji will find you and give you the troll stare and elbow nudge!!..

 

[JibranAnsari]

You have to appreciate Broad...

The guy got murdered by UV for 6 6's in a T20 game... A lot of bowlers will never be the same after that brutal assualt even though it was in a different format.

But Broad has bounced back and looked like a total new rejuvinated bowler. The guy is a genuine allrounder and will be good for England for Years to come.

Most of the english team is full of elites , educated in the best of the schools, It's really hard to shatter their confidence which they have enjoyed being elites of the society.

 

[mithun_minhas]

sad performance from India....and this arguably their strongest batting lineup in history.

On Paper, a Big Yes!!!!!!

But the great batters in the lineup are all over 38.

Most batters retire around 34 or 35 at the max.

The Big 3 are way over the hill in terms of age and yet they manage to score well and do that better than a lot of youngsters.

Indian team chose to have a huge slump when playing England who are at their absolute peak. Vey very bad timing.

Even against Windies, the team struggled. Nothing surprising here.

 

[Sledger]

Tremlett has more series wickets than Mishra looool.

 

[ethan hunt]

how ordinary is the indian backup ???..... raina is the biggest ftb and yet indias hope for the future ... the future looks bright

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

So its Proved that a team of fixer was better than a team of Indian gods.

 

[Robert]

Can India make England bat again?

 

[Sledger]

Boom. Headshot.

 

[Fireworks11]

Nasty blow.

 

[iHammad]

) gambhir

 

[dhump]

on helmet again well its fair its a game.

 

[NJamal]

Good bouncer by Andreson

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Jimmy is Brutal, No mercy

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Arpee gone too?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Another injury to Ghambir would be the icing on the cake.

 

[Fireworks11]

No more centuries for Indian bowlers.

 

[NJamal]

269/8

 

[Fireworks11]

Sanjay is back lol

 

[Sledger]

Gambhir happy to stay at the non-strikers. No need to shield the tail against the new ball when you're a specialist opener.. obviously lol.

 

[NJamal]

by Teeli

 

[NJamal]

India still 18 behind

 

[Fireworks11]

Played down the wicket

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

:4

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Gambhir happy to stay at the non-strikers. No need to shield the tail against the new ball when you're a specialist opener.. obviously lol.

But his stats are as good as a tailender in this series. I dont think so it matters much who is on strike

 

[Fireworks11]

273/8

 

[Fireworks11]

Trail by 18.

 

[Sledger]

Btw, just so everyone knows, Pakistan put up a better score at the Oval than India. That too with a team of amateurs.

 

[Fireworks11]

Well fielded by Bop. He's a good fielder.

 

[Sledger]

17 behind still.

 

[NJamal]

Sharma is a better batsman than Raina

 

[Sledger]

Gambler defends again. Ishant stays on strike.

 

[NJamal]

274/8

 

[Fireworks11]

GG...very tentative.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Btw remember guys nearly 2 days have been washed out, so it is basically third day

 

[Sledger]

Swann back. Good captaincy here.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

274/8

 

[duostyle]

Sanjay still crying over Sachin's dismissal.

 

[Fireworks11]

Swann is on.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

swann on

 

[Sledger]

'Rod Tooker' - Sanjay.

 

[NJamal]

Swann back into attack

 

[mithun_minhas]

So its Proved that a team of fixer was better than a team of Indian gods.

Wrong...

The fixer team put up a better fight than the Indian team.

End of story.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Good on bell for asking if Gauti was okay after he was hit. People reacting to Gauti here is just ridicolous!! he had a mild concussion and still fighting out against the new ball...

 

[Sledger]

Too much turn.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

that looked out

 

[mithun_minhas]

Swann appeals for every thing.

 

[Fireworks11]

I would employ an umbrella field and tell everyone to sledge 'em to tears.

 

[Sledger]

Ishant out.

 

[NJamal]

Review time.

 

[Sledger]

He's reviewed.

 

[Fireworks11]

Review time.

 

[Blitz]

Ishant out


He took an age to appeal it. Must be out?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

 

[KingKhanWC]

missed by a bats width, lol.

 

[Sledger]

Not out I think.

 

[Sledger]

I think he'll survive.

 

[Blitz]

I think it hit the glove on its way back?

 

[Fireworks11]

Not Out.

 

[Blitz]

Wheres hot spot, from the left?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Not out, just give him LBW next time Tucker

 

[Sledger]

Not out given.

 

[NJamal]

Not out

 

[the Great Khan]

fauji showing why he should have come out earlier...lol..

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

[Sledger]

Maiden from Swann.

 

[NJamal]

274/8

 

[duostyle]

DRS is rubbish :shastri

 

[Fireworks11]

Thank God for Tucker's sake he got Sachin's decision right.

 

[Sledger]

17 behind.

 

[Mohsin]

fauji showing why he should have come out earlier...lol..

lol and we won at the oval against this same team with a bunch of kids!! and three fixers..hahahaha..
