India vs England | 2nd Test | Mumbai

[Justcrazy]

Pujara looking rock solid at the other end here.

 

[cricketworm]

Pitched middle and leg then rip through off stump.

Test finish in 3 days.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[cricketworm]

Pujara is playing on a different pitch I guess.

 

[W63L35]

If Rahul was the Wall, maybe we should rename Tendy the Door.





....I'll get my coat

)

.... or the hole in the wall!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Why is Broad bowling?

Get Swann on!

 

[Justcrazy]

65 / 3

 

[cricketworm]

Look at Monty go!! His stakes were so high for being picked now he is proving his worth.

 

[cricketworm]

Let's see how Kohli handles Monty.

 

[chaiwala]

Pujara judging length extremely well. The kid is solid.

 

[Justcrazy]

66 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara averaging well over 70 , what a player India Have. Solid and consistent, replica of Dravid.

 

[W63L35]

read in a book..that since the earlier matches were drawn, imran had asked for a bowling friendly pitch..but since it was miandad's 100th test, another flat pitch was prepared..

So Imran asks for bowling friendly pitch only in 3rd test..... not in 1st, 2nd or 4th??
Was the book written by a Time of India reporter??

yes, i am not complaining about it and inzi deserved a flat pitch too..so does sehwag..

Flat wicket .... ?? India lost the test... hellloooooooooooooo!!!

[chaiwala]

Clever shot by Pujara. :4

 

[chaiwala]

One more.

 

[OutKast]

Back to back boundaries from Pujara...looking good in the middle.

 

[cricketworm]

And finally he plays that shot after his eyes got in.... SRT is not missed at all.

 

[Random Aussie]

What can Virat Bradman Kohli deliver here? ATG should be sweet for a double hundred right?

 

[cricketworm]

Broad is losing the momentum for England, but let's also give credit to Pujara as well.

 

[cricketworm]

Time for Swann?

 

[cricketworm]

Off the mark, Kohli.

 

[GentleMan]

i read a lot of cricket autobiographies so have to check again in which book i read.. by the way i recall in steve waughs book, he said that miandad would tell them that there is no point appealing for lbw againt him..because he wont be given out by the umpires.. if you dont want to believe it is fine..

Flat wicket .... ?? India lost the test... hellloooooooooooooo!!!
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64127.html

havent heard of flat pitches which become difficult in the 4th and 5th day? i didnt mean a pitch which remaind flat for the whole 5 days.

 

[cricketworm]

Playing Monty on a front foot like a boss.

 

[Ruri]

Bresnan over Broad would have been smarter. Better bat, same level of mediocrity bowler.

 

[OutKast]

Swann to get 2 wickets in this spell.

 

[cricketworm]

Swann it is! Let's see how much turn he gets!

 

[Kwremb]

Tendy's career might be over, time to bow out grandpa

 

[cricketworm]

Hmmm Kohli looking for room.

Finds it finally! Classy 4.

 

[chaiwala]

Bresnan over Broad would have been smarter. Better bat, same level of mediocrity bowler.

Broad bowls a good 10-15 kph faster though.

 

[cricketworm]

Soft hands!

Lol at Bairstaw's mustache.

 

[Buffet]

England right on top here.

 

[cricketworm]

England's session I reckon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lunch

87 / 3

The pitch was pretty flat!
Afridi was just too good for indians in the second innings.
First smashed them with the bat and then delivered with the bowl.
3 wickets for 13 runs in 17 overs and that too the wickets of Tendulkar, Laxman and Ganguly! Legend!

 

[Random Aussie]

Poms take the session

 

[Tridibans_16]

Tendu has had enough. He is going to retire after this series. Insider information

 

[W63L35]

Tendu has had enough. He is going to retire after this series. Insider information

Before 200 test matches???

 

[TM Riddle]

Whats with rameez and this UMDA word.....he keeps on repeating it .

 

[TM Riddle]

sheer class from pujara.....

 

[Ruri]

String together some more run lacking overs...

 

[chaiwala]

Another 50 for Pujara

 

[leatherface58]

Pujara time to makema comparison thread with umar akmal and push the average above 100

 

[GentleMan]

^ lol..yes, now pujara deserves to have a thread comparing him with Umar Akmal

 

[TM Riddle]

Kohli looking good.

 

[W63L35]

^ lol..yes, now pujara deserves to have a thread comparing him with Umar Akmal

I was thinking about starting Malik-Sachin comparison thread...based on their recent form!

 

[TM Riddle]

Anderson into the attack.

 

[GentleMan]

I was thinking about starting Malik-Sachin comparison thread...based on their recent form!

[W63L35]

I like the answer!

 

[chaiwala]

Kohli gone, India in trouble now.

 

[TM Riddle]

Kohli goneeeee!!!!!!!

 

[TM Riddle]

There was no need to play that shot....India in trouble now

 

[GentleMan]

india will reach max 250...

 

[Ruri]

Panesar gonna ....

Nah, got nothing. Well done lad. Keep going.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wonder if all those hyping Kohli might have calmed down a little. Averaging around 35.

 

[Ambi]

Iam happy

 

[Kwremb]

Monty making all the difference today, how bad a selection blunder was that last Test

 

[Ambi]

Wonder if all those hyping Kohli might have calmed down a little. Averaging around 35.

wait for comparison threads to get bumped

 

[Mobashir]

So the current best batsman in the world according to 80% of PP fails again to play a good innings against ok-good bowling!

Lol the over rating that goes on here!

 

[W63L35]

puff of dust as the ball pitched..... @ kohli's dismissal.

 

[OutKast]

Swann to get Yuvraj...

 

[GentleMan]

and he gets YUVI

 

[Ruri]

SWANNY!

Our spinners today are on fire.

 

[Ambi]

One sardar is having a great time and another one fails

 

[Mobashir]

And the Yuvi goes first ball to Swann!
Some spin in the pitch!

 

[Mobashir]

And the Yuvi goes first ball to Swann!
Some spin in the pitch!

 

[W63L35]

india will reach max 250...

England will not reach 150. mark my words!!!!!

 

[GentleMan]

if the pitch plays better tomorrow then the groundsman should be sacked and deported

 

[Ruri]

We are so well gone on this pitch. Unless Cook, Compton, Bairstow and Prior can keep us afloat.

 

[Kwremb]

I'd say Dhoni's move was a masterstroke to play Bajji, doing a lot for spinners on day 1

 

[TM Riddle]

india will reach max 250...

It'll be enough for the English...We have our very own Surd ...
Yuvraj out....200 max now

 

[GentleMan]

England will not reach 150. mark my words!!!!!

i am wondering if india can reach 150!!

 

[Ambi]

Turn and bounce:

 

[Random Aussie]

wait for comparison threads to get bumped

I'll bump

 

[AlizeeFan]

Time for Dhoni to step up and score some runs.

 

[Gunther]

I am already fearing the Turbantor on this pitch : He will enjoy the bounce of all the bowlers in this game

 

[Ambi]

I'll bump

please start a new one Warner Vs

 

[OZGOD]

Poms owning India so far

 

[BaaliSoda]

Brilliant bowling by Panesar(and Swann too) so far.

We need to score at least 300 in the 1st inning to give any kind of challenge to England.

 

[Saurav]

Monty again outbowling Swann like he did in UAE

 

[Saurav]
