India vs England | 2nd Test | Mumbai | 25/11/12 | Day 3

[mosh101]

Well played gauti

 

[doctordamor]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa didn't see that coming still batting to come bhajji and ghambir even a 100 would be hard to chase on this pitch

 

[musaarthali]

Ok enough is enough..

Gambhir and Bhajjii...bat like in a T20 match..rest will follow

 

[IgnitedMind]

Gauti 50 !!!

Nice innings

 

[justarslan]

What happened to Monty's celebrations? No lap of honor on the last few wickets?

Would an Indian celebrate taking Indian wickets? I am loving it.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Gauti 50 !!!

Nice innings

 

[mosh101]

Oh boy how close was that

 

[Fire Bird]

Gambhir will play another two years because of this 50. OVERALL, its a bad day for Indian cricket

 

[mosh101]

Done for the day

 

[Ravi.]

Joke of a batting performance by India.. Cant play swing and now cant even play spin as well. Few changes required in coming matches..

 

[SL_Fan]

India in the lead by 31 with 3 wickets in the bank. What an epic day it has been.

 

[mosh101]

Hopefully by the time I wake up tomorrow, the match should be over

 

[IgnitedMind]

31 lead ....hopefully a 100 added 2marrow

 

[musaarthali]

70 more runs tomorrow make this match interesting

 

[Sandeep]

We just couldn't handle pressure! Well played England...you deserve a win!

 

[Robert]

Monty once again makes Flower look stupid for not picking him.

 

[RexRex]

Gambhir will play another two years because of this 50. OVERALL, its a bad day for Indian cricket

lol so bad

 

[JibranAnsari]

In the matches where monty and swann played together , Panesar has done slightly well.

 

[Sandeep]

Hopefully Panesar becomes regular in this English line up! Better than the likes of overrated Bresnan

 

[praveen]

70 more runs tomorrow make this match interesting

Why dude ? Can't we declare already and get them all out for 22 runs ?

 

[rooster]

Great day for us.

Everything clicked for us. Thank god our tail failed meekly and collapsed else we wouldn't have bowled these many overs at them and wouldn't have got these many wickets.

Hopefully we'll wrap them up under 150.

Well done England
Well done Kp
Well done Cookie
Well done Monty
Well done Swanny

English fans gonna have a heart break looking at these performance.

 

[Arcturus]

Ashwin caught Patel bowled Singh

 

[musaarthali]

Why dude ? Can't we declare already and get them all out for 22 runs ?

22 is too less..atleast 75 to 80 needed

 

[praveen]

22 is too less..atleast 75 to 80 needed

Cheers. Lets hope we win by some miracle

 

[SL_Fan]

Eng need to wrap this up quick tomorrow. Chasing 120+ won't be that easy. Hopefully they don't get complacent here. Need to keep it under 100.

 

[saiyan0312]

WELL DONE ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!

Cook again proved he is the best.

Peterson back in form.

Monty congrats on ten wickets. Very good.

Indian batting line up collapsed really bad, shocking stuff.Ghambhir was the only anchor where as Kohli and Tendulkar were disappointments and cant always count on Pujara. If England can keep India under 150 they can win sooooooo far England chances of winning are very very very high. India needs to pull a Pakistan and take England out for less then 72 runs.

Monty once again makes Flower look stupid for not picking him.

The english teams obsession with runs from the tail probably didn't help monty's cause.


It was crazy leaving him out he would have at least given england more control of the RR in the first test.

Aye, never mind that Bres and Draco aren't scoring runs here.

Next match, bring in Finn for Draco. There will be three real bunnies at 9, 10, 11 but they will get India out for less.

 

[sam_ahm]

Cheers. Lets hope we win by some miracle

If ENG can't win this then they can't win anything in India, they'll be better off going home and send some A team so that boys can get some experience of international cricket.

So that won't happen, ENG should and I think will win this.

 

[Jeetu111]

What a pathetic performance !

 

[leatherface58]

Time for sach to leave. He has done nothing for quite some time.

 

[Fire Bird]

Time for sach to leave. He has done nothing for quite some time.

Yeah enough of that "I will play until I feel like it". He really made a bad situation appear worse with his plodding away today. He gets out attacking and he gets out defending. He should be given an ultimatum. Retire or get dropped. I dont care how good he was two years ago. He is almost 80 years old now. Needs to go.

 

[cricketworm]

If we can somehow make lead of 100 by end of today's play, we have chance, otherwise England still ahead.

Went to bed after this, lol what a shocker Monty has given us!

Brilliant test for England.

What a response from their spinners, Monty gave full monty to and co.

I would be delusional for hoping 150 more runs from 3 tail enders now!

Dear oh dear, it will be 1-1! Series is open.

 

[shan]

English media and fans should give Flower good trashing and ECB shoud terminate his contract after this series.

Where is Marshland?
