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

[Justcrazy]

India would get to around 270 - 300 in second innings.

 

[SL_Fan]

What difference will it make..we wilk make 300 easily...

Only time will tell ....

 

[musaarthali]

India would get to around 270 - 300 in second innings.

Exactly..

It will be more than enough....

Remember match against OZ..final innings 93 allout

 

[James]

Harbacrap on. Let the runs commence

 

[OZGOD]

Why didn't Sehwag claim that? It only bounced once!

 

[musaarthali]

Common Bhajji..poongi bajao

 

[Buffet]

India would get to around 270 - 300 in second innings.

That would mean , England has to chase 100-150. I think they will chase it easily. Who knows, England tails might add bit more runs and they have to chase a very small target.

 

[mosh101]

400 up

 

[musaarthali]

Why didn't Sehwag claim that? It only bounced once!

After linch rule changed..now it must bounce twice

 

[rooster]

lol we scored 400+ twice in three inns. Isn't it better than a certain team's recent outing?

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 74 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Fire Bird]

Why didn't Sehwag claim that? It only bounced once!

Because more space would have been wasted on PP crying.

 

[James]

400 up for the 2nd innings in a row, who said we couldn't play

 

[Robert]

I think Prior will have to do the bulk of any further scoring as Draco looks out of nick. Swann can slog a few but then there are two proper tailenders.

 

[musaarthali]

lol we scored 400+ twice in three inns. Isn't it better than a certain team's recent outing?

We were pathetic..we agree

But we are going to win this series 4-0

It wont equal the 0-4 loss as we were no 1 then an England is weak now..still i wilk take that

 

[rooster]

I miss Bressie!!!

 

[James]

I still think it's right to have Prior at 7. He bats so beautifully with the tail and 7 is the correct position at which to rescue an innings :gilchrist

Can't image Fatel batting at 7 and equalling Prior's heroism

 

[James]

We were pathetic..we agree

But we are going to win this series 4-0

It wont equal the 0-4 loss as we were no 1 then an England is weak now..still i wilk take that

) Love it, quite entertaining posting style you have to say

 

[mosh101]

Prior getting too ambitious

 

[mosh101]

That looks out

 

[mosh101]

Poor stuff from england

 

[Ruri]

What a stupid way to get out.

 

[insaftak]

 

[rooster]

What a poor way to get out!!!

 

[mosh101]

Poor poor stuff

 

[James]

First real facepalm moment for us in the match. You're allowed one but that's all, let's get the lead over 100.

 

[ads101]

damn it. India now have a shot at winning this

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 79 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[mosh101]

Looks like eng will have to settle for a 100 run lead now ! Anything over that is a bonus

 

[Anfield]

this is poor cricket.

 

[Jeetu111]

79/7

 

[Fire Bird]

damn it. India now have a shot at winning this

Oh dont be sad. We are still behind by 80 runs.

 

[James]

Nass reckons England should open the bowling with Swann

I agree.

Btw people shouldn't get too worried, this is now a minefield and we are already 80 ahead.

 

[musaarthali]

) ) )

 

[Buffet]

15 per wicket form here will give 125 lead which will be crucial and most likely match winning lead in this turning pitch.

Added later: As I spoke, Broad got out. But it won't be easy for India on this pitch as well.

 

[mosh101]

100 runs? Not likely now ! What are england upto?

 

[James]

Broad goes as expected. Time for Swann to go into slog mode.

 

[insaftak]

good catch

England need to hit now!!!!!!!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Another one gone

 

[ads101]

Oh dont be sad. We are still behind by 80 runs.

I know. But India now have a chance. England still up though.

At 274-3 looked like it was curtains for India. Ojha's done well for India to pull things back.

 

[Ruri]

HA Broady.

Thank god we have 79 on the board already, or this could have been bad.

 

[justarslan]

Congratulation to Sir Bhaji on his final test wicket.

 

[Jeetu111]

79/8. England should hit out now.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[James]

Unless he takes a hatful Broad should be dropped tbqh, looks way out of sorts in every way.

 

[ads101]

Ack another one.

 

[Jeetu111]

Congratulation to Sir Bhaji on his final test wicket.

seriously buddy,i hope they drop him forever .

 

[Fire Bird]

Nass reckons England should open the bowling with Swann

I agree.

Btw people shouldn't get too worried, this is now a minefield and we are already 80 ahead.

Well it wasnt a minefield an hour ago. I dont think it would have changed much. When Eng bat again here though, it may be a different story

 

[velu]

darty gets a freebie finally

 

[Justcrazy]

India winning or loosing depends upon how India bat in second innings, a lead of around 100 is pretty big here , if Eng utilize that.

 

[mosh101]

Momentum now with india

 

[Buffet]

damn it. India now have a shot at winning this

Far from it, India has to bat on same pitch. Fantastic catch from Pujara here.

 

[Justcrazy]

England would want a few hits from swan here, as it is they will get out , beetr look to slog a few quick runs here.

 

[Jeetu111]

81/9

 

[insaftak]

again!

 

[Justcrazy]

No doubt india have controlled the damage in this session , the lead would have been far bigger had they not got these wickets.

 

[justarslan]

Congratulation to Sir Bhaji on his final test wicket.

Sir Bhaji gets another.

 

[eradicator]

Prior is responsible for this collapse .

 

[mosh101]

Oh God ! Bhajji getting wickets means momentum really on india's side now

 

[mithun_minhas]

Bhajji picking up scraps.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good come back from india here

 

[musaarthali]

Anothervone bites the dust and 2 rabbits to come...

Feel sad for English an Pakistani fans...all hopes now gone out on smoke

 

[Ruri]

Monty always looks so excited to bad. This should be short.

 

[James]

If India even get 250 in reply they will have done well, pitch is lethal

 

[Buffet]

Come on Swaan , swing your bat some and add 15-30 runs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

England have to restrict India to 200 in the second innings.

 

[mosh101]

Monty eager to take strike

 

[IAJ]

Broad is rubbish. He bowled badly, ran out prior and have started a mini collapse.

 

[Justcrazy]

If India set Eng anything over 150 , india will win.

 

[Jeetu111]

Monty ...4

 

[mosh101]

Come on montyyyyy

 

[chaiwala]

Monty

 

[Buffet]

Monty swinging the bat here

 

[insaftak]

for monty )

 

[Ruri]

Oh god Monty. Wow.

Spank Ashwin with a sweep, that's hilarious.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[musaarthali]

England have to restrict India to 200 in the second innings.

Nothing will save England now..

They had their chances but now India have upper hand..

They are not able to chase 142 against Pak....

 

[Jeetu111]

lead 86 & out.

 

[IAJ]

Prior is responsible for this collapse .

Nope ot was Broad. He refused to take the single and shoulf have offered his own wicket.

 

[insaftak]

and he is
