India vs England | 1st Test | Ahmedabad | Day 1

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is doing the right thing. India have match in control , why take chances.

 

[musaarthali]

You don't need to exaggerate to be patriotic.

Everyone have their own style

 

[Random Aussie]

If Kohli was Pakistani, there would be a thread on his "selfish" batting by now

 

[Justcrazy]

England made a blunder , Monty should have played. On sub continent pitches you should play two front line spinners.

 

[musaarthali]

I am supporting Team India in this series.

As usual too many people trying to call a match half way through Day 1.

Against England in subcontinent its easy prediction.. always right on money

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli struggling to judge the length/flight from Swann

 

[Justcrazy]

RR is 3.89 .......... its very good. No need to be negative. After all it is a Test Match

[BaaliSoda]

0 of 27 balls for Kohli

 

[AlizeeFan]

Against England in subcontinent its easy prediction.. always right on money

So, what's your prediction?

 

[Random Aussie]

Swann and Anderson are coming to the end of their spells, just need to be patient.

 

[musaarthali]

RR is 3.89 .......... its very good. No need to be negative. After all it is a Test Match

3 is more than enough

 

[Sandeep]

Now the visitors have come out with a gameplan... not easy to score

 

[AlizeeFan]

If Kohli was Pakistani, there would be a thread on his "selfish" batting by now

Not only selfish batting, but also calls to drop him for a dasher-proven-failure even if team wins the match after slowish 50 or 100.

 

[velu]

single taken

 

[musaarthali]

So, what's your prediction?

500+ and innings victory..

If KP clicked innings victory may bevdelsyed

 

[velu]

:4 for kohli

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Kohli off the mark with an on drive for :4

 

[Zahid87]

Little touch of class by Kohli there....

 

[Random Aussie]

Thanks Stuart Broad!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli off the mark with a Glorious straight drive off Broad

 

[Mobashir]

Gone Kholi goneeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Mobashir]

Ho nooooo! That was a drop hahahahaha

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Dropped

 

[AlizeeFan]

what was that?

 

[Mobashir]

Should have been number 4 for Swaan and Engladn was riht back in the match!

 

[chaiwala]

Trott

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

It was clearly dropped, don't know why Trott didn't say it to the umpires, wasted 5 minutes

 

[shah_1]

trott is a proper cheater

 

[AlizeeFan]

lol, Trott picked the ball from ground and he had no idea? :latif

 

[Random Aussie]

Typical of the man really. Big let off for us there.

 

[Justcrazy]

264 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

England fielders feeling the pressure.

 

[shah_1]

Typical of the man really. Big let off for us there.

Are you an Indian??????

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I hope IND get a move on here, need to cross 350 by EOD

 

[James]

Poor cricket from England, worked hard to create the chance then fluffed it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ball being changed , bad for Eng here.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Treat to watch Kohli bat, proper cricketing shots

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[AlizeeFan]

Poor cricket from England, worked hard to create the chance then fluffed it.

3rd drop of the day?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shocking fielding by trott, how costly will that be?

 

[Mobashir]

Poor cricket from England, worked hard to create the chance then fluffed it.

Every batsman bar Tendulkar had a let off. That's not acceptable in Test match cricket!

 

[Sandeep]

3rd drop of the day?

Apparently 2 drops, 1 missed stumping, 1 misjudged catch )

 

[Bashira_taeli]

For those of you logging in for first time today, that was the fourth 'chance' England have missed today. Two clear catches, a stumping, and a catch Anderson misjudged and didn't reach at mid-on

Seems England have been proper donkeys today

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara showing that he can fill the shoes of Dravid.

 

[AZ]

disgraceful stuff from Trott, deserving of a fine if not a ban.

 

[Mobashir]

3rd drop of the day?

2nd drop!
+ 1 miss stumping
+ missjudged by Anderson

Well Pujara looking good for a hundred now!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Hope Pujara completes his century soon...

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng clearly frightened here, they are missing easy chances. India likely to reach 500.

 

[alberto]

Do any of you guys think Monty panesar should have played as second spinner?

 

[Super Santi]

Pujara is class. I think India have found their next 2 batting superstars in him and Kohli. They both still have a lot to prove but they definitely have the talent and the temperament.

 

[Justcrazy]

Monty is been thoroughly missed here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India should finish with around 350 at close of play which will set them up nicely here. England need to take probably 3 more wickets before close of play to make it an even day.

 

[Super Santi]

Every batsman bar Tendulkar had a let off. That's not acceptable in Test match cricket!

I missed Pujara's let-off . What happened?

 

[Amjid Javed]

England strength when they were playing well was there fielding, now they seem to have novices in the slip regions in particular which doesnt ever help.

 

[Justcrazy]

Now Eng batting would be the key , they will need Daddy hundreds from top 6 to make sure they can force a draw.

 

[Random Aussie]

Pujara being very effective at 3. Have always rated him.

 

[Mobashir]

disgraceful stuff from Trott, deserving of a fine if not a ban.

What he really needs is 5 minutes with

 

[alberto]

India have got serious batting riches. Chand is another talented youngster who can easily make the step up. Rahane and Rayudu are unlucky to be missing out as they are not bad batsman but their time will come.

 

[AlizeeFan]

Pujara is class. I think India have found their next 2 batting superstars in him and Kohli. They both still have a lot to prove but they definitely have the talent and the temperament.

I think Kohli will still have work very hard for test cricket. He has been exception in LOIs, but tests are different. Pujara seems to better than him for longer version of the game.

 

[Kwremb]

How do I get English commentary?

 

[Mobashir]

I missed Pujara's let-off . What happened?

36.6
Bresnan to Pujara, 1 run, close! Nearly for England and Anderson has misjudged that at mid-on. Pujara got a leading edge and the ball looped in the air towards mid-on, Anderson starting to run in and by the time he realised couldn't get back. Not a drop, but a let-off

 

[AlizeeFan]

How do I get English commentary?

Star sports

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng should have known that they would get these sort of pitches here, they should have done there homework. India not likely to offer them green juicy pitches

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian batting talent overflowing. The bad thing is that many Talented batters would miss out , hard luck.

[trogger]

*** was that from trott?

He's going to hammered by the indian media and he's going to deserve every bit of it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel is a bits and pieces cricketer , do not see him making an impact with ball here, unless batsman makes a mistake.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Even after so many dot balls, Kohli doesn't seem even a bit effected. Looks calm n composed, need a 50 from him here...

 

[Kwremb]

England have themselves to blame for this predicament with all those dropped catches.

 

[Sandeep]

Wow...loving the whining!!

 

[Justcrazy]

281 / 3

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

How many overs will Swann bowl in this spell!

 

[leatherface58]

Swann has been very good so far. I think meaker/onions should have been picked. Bresnan is cannon fodder vs sehwag and co. on slow and low pitches. Meaker with extra pace might have done something.

 

[nish_mate]

Apparently 2 drops, 1 missed stumping, 1 misjudged catch )

Fixing by England players, for a bit of dosh? You know the times are tough in the UK

 

[nish_mate]

How many overs will Swann bowl in this spell!

Enough to fly back home next match citing elbow.....

 

[Sandeep]

)

What say Mr.James?

 

[alberto]

England are too conservative much like SA. These two teams go into a mysterios shell against spin bowling which has been their downfall. These two teams are best when they dominate.

 

[leatherface58]

Beauty by Swann! Desi Bradman goes. Ball turning so much on day 1. England

 

[Random Aussie]

How many overs will Swann bowl in this spell!

Dudes arm gonna fall off this series
