India vs England | 2nd Test | Mumbai

[GentleMan]

Poms owning India so far

if you consider panesar a pom.. it is our own son who is owning us

 

[Poison]

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.

You serious? If you declare now on this track you will still win. Bhajji/Ojha will be unplayable here

 

[doctordamor]

Horrible pitch its already breaking up man talk about crap pitches, on the other side BD V WI another crap pitch and don't even start me on that batting paradise SA v AUS

 

[OutKast]

Swann to get Yuvraj...

And the next minute, he's OUT. Kaali Zabaan (black tongue)

 

[BaaliSoda]

You serious? If you declare now on this track you will still win. Bhajji/Ojha will be unplayable here

Still, I feel it will be lot more safer if we can get anywhere near 300 mark. 2nd Inning on this pitch is going to be very tough one for both the teams (especially the team chasing).

This is not a unplayable pitch so far. It requires skills and patience to score on such pitches.

Pujara has shown that you can stay on this track.

 

[Gunther]

[OutKast]

Dropped

 

[doctordamor]

Seriously how good was pakistani bowling attack in UAE specially the spinner where ball hardly turned or spin and for pak to win. We didn't have to doctor the pitches

[Random Aussie]

Depends how well England bat, two days seem a safe bet.

 

[Poison]

India should declare now and push for the innings victory by lunch tomorow

I concur

 

[Saurav]

good stuff by Dhoni.unexpected

 

[rooster]

Things can change if Kp gets going in 1st inns, he usually gets runs when the team flops as a unit.

 

[Poison]

SLA in the other team^ not happening

 

[TM Riddle]

Dhoni survived....oh man that was so close....

 

[Namak_Halaal]

God save the Queen.

Ojha will get him in first over.

 

[TM Riddle]

Typical dhoni....wanted to hit in the stands...

 

[TM Riddle]

Dhoni runs like Bolt

This whole "nobody who plays for England is English" thing is getting ridiculous now, Monty was born in England and has spent his whole life here, how is he not English?

 

[Justcrazy]

The match is even stevens at this stage, India have some batting to come , also England would be batting last.

 

[Justcrazy]

England need to get india out cheaply here and take a lead of at least 100 runs to nutralize batting last here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chasing 200 here in 4th innings would be extremely tough.

 

[TM Riddle]

This whole "nobody who plays for England is English" thing is getting ridiculous now, Monty was born in England and has spent his whole life here, how is he not English?

Take it easy mate...he was being sarcastic

 

[Justcrazy]

England need wickets from faster men also , cannot just rely on spinners.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara has hit the average of 80 here.

on paper yes..but are brown citizens of england called poms yet?? till he is not called a pommie b----- by random aussie, i wont consider him english

 

[TM Riddle]

Ok he wasn't.

 

[praveen]

Lets judge the pitch after both the teams have batted on it. Credit to English spinners. Chepu going strong, we can expect around 225 with a good tail.

 

[praveen]

Why is Anderson being bowled? Bring in Patel

 

[TM Riddle]

Why is Anderson being bowled? Bring in Patel

He s getting reverse swing

 

[OutKast]

Monty aiming for a 5-for.

 

[TM Riddle]

Panesar comes to ball...India 166-5

 

[Saurav]

entralling session,good partnership

 

[GentleMan]

250 still possible...

 

[praveen]

He s getting reverse swing

Okay that's a good reason.

 

[Buffet]

So this is a good pitch right? This game will be lucky to go three days

I like the pitch. I don't see any problem if it is turning so much from day 1. If it was a flattish pitch and India was batting first then we would have got either Indian win or a draw. As long as pitch does not break, I am fine with it. Dhoni should not asking for any pitch but in India I would like to see turners on certain grounds if not all grounds. Basically some grounds should always have turners and not be tailor made after Steyn runs through Indian batting line up.

 

[James]

We've done well in the circumstances but our batsmen will struggle on this track.

May be one of those KP knocks might set it up for England.

Here comes Melfoy

Partnership 48 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara is another quality batsman from India, he is just like dravid.

 

[TM Riddle]

Dhoni out!

 

[TM Riddle]

umpires discussing......well well well....

 

[Ruri]

Clearly out.

 

[TM Riddle]

he s given out

 

[mosh101]

Monttyyyy paajiiii

 

[Justcrazy]

India looking good here now, very good partnership, Eng would be disappointed.

 

[mosh101]

In comes my favorite batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

Monty approaching 150 wickets

 

[James]

India looking good here now, very good partnership, Eng would be disappointed.

) If you're going to reside in match threads at least provide current updates.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Eng get India out before stumps here , Eng would want to wipe out the tail soon here.

 

[TM Riddle]

200 looking tough now....Pujara should take maximum strike now

 

[Justcrazy]

) If you're going to reside in match threads at least provide current updates.

That was a good partnership , looking at the situation they came in. Also the pitch is not a road.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin averages close to 38 with the bat , cannot be said to be a mug .

 

[nish_mate]

Malakian and Cartoon Ghaffar to make an appearance here today

 

[TM Riddle]

Watte shot!!!!!!!!!

 

[chaiwala]

Sweet shot from Pujara.

 

[TM Riddle]

Panesar 66/4 ....bowled very well today...

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Pujara looking set for another Ton here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin looks so much like a proper batsman , he can easily play at number 7.

 

[TM Riddle]

This is gonna be a real challenge for England batsmen....

 

[TM Riddle]

Why draco again?? why aren't they bowling swann?

 

[TM Riddle]

He doesn't seems to be getting any help from pitch.

 

[mosh101]

Ashwin showing class

 

[chaiwala]

Ashwin looks like a better batsman than Dhoni

 

[TM Riddle]

Ashwin plays better then tendulkar now a days

 

[Justcrazy]
