[Amjid Javed]

Sachin has looked woeful in this inns but had fought like a tiger and got to 50 so fair does to him, one would wonder what he would be like if he regains his form!

 

[TM Riddle]

kapil telling very good stories about young sachin

[JibranAnsari]

Crazy stuff from Dhoni...)

what happened?

 

[mosh101]

Patel should have died ! I mean dived

 

[rooster]

Feck you Patel, Johnny would've caught that easily.

 

[mosh101]

Lets see the helicopter from dhoni

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Looks like the old days ,when sachin used to be the prime indian scorer.

Looks like the really bad old days, before Dravid/ Laxman came on the scene and SRT was playing....

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

what happened?

Tried to do an Ian Bell....

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

And the 'Loin of Punjab', Yuvraj Singh, needs to decide if Test cricket is his thing...

 

[Justcrazy]

217 / 5

 

[Justcrazy]

19 overs left in the day.

 

[TM Riddle]

dhoni plays the most craziest shots I have seen

 

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar batting well now, looking settled.

 

[BaaliSoda]

And the 'Loin of Punjab', Yuvraj Singh, needs to decide if Test cricket is his thing...

So true, sentiments aside he has had no real merit(s) to be on the test line up as a batsmen (besides his non-existent temperament/technique for Test quality batting, he has been pretty average fielder post 2005 and always been a pie-chucker in bowling).

New set of selectors following the same age old method by picking a player on his past laurels(or fan following?) rather than logic. Instead of yuvi, they should be giving chance to someone like Rahane or Manoj Tiwary or even Raina.

 

[TM Riddle]

lajawaab shot from dhoni

 

[Justcrazy]

India would be happy if they do not loose another wicket by stumps today.

 

[waqar goraya]

Tried to do an Ian Bell....

an Umar Akmal and Raina...

 

[TM Riddle]

I have started to dislike 3 words- behatareen, umdaa and bharpoor

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Tendulkar bringing into play all his experience here.

 

[TM Riddle]

Sachin on 75 now.

 

[Justcrazy]

six overs more before new ball , new ball would be vital , anderson needs to get wickets with that.

 

[Saurav]

Tendulkar gone

 

[TM Riddle]

sachin out.

 

[Mobashir]

Anderson too good for Midget!

Still well played, now he can retire with pride!

 

[Justcrazy]

Tendulkar 15638 runs in Test , he can reach 16000 easily

 

[Shayan]

Hats off to Tendulkar - just when the pressure's on and he needs to prove his worth, he does exactly that.

 

[TM Riddle]

well played sir...like a true fighter

 

[Justcrazy]

Big wicket just before new ball is due.

 

[Shayan]

Ok, maybe I jinxed him...

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Well played SRT, fighter's knock.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin vettori walks in

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Well Played , just checked the score and he's gone unfortunately

 

[TM Riddle]

don't feel like watching the match now

 

[Mobashir]

Poor fielding, missed an easy run out...

 

[rooster]

Oh ****!!! Easy run out missed.

 

[Mobashir]

don't feel like watching the match now

That mean you are not watching a lot of test cricket recently!

 

[akhan44]

Anderson too good for Midget!

Still well played, now he can retire with pride!

Is it allowed to use such words for players.

 

[TM Riddle]

That mean you are not watching a lot of test cricket recently!

naah I do watch it...made that statement in grief

 

[Justcrazy]

236 / 6

 

[waqar goraya]

Anderson did the job with a 74 overs old ball....Was not expecting an outside edge from the bowling of Anderson to carry to Prior..that too with a 74 over old ball on Eden Gardens pitch...

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng would want another one before stumps.

 

[Saurav]

Is it allowed to use such words for players.

for Indian players,especally Sachin,thats nothing

 

[malakian]

Anderson gets out his bunny yet again. This wicket is flat as a pancake.

 

[Justcrazy]

it would be interesting to see , does Cook takes the new ball.

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need at least 300 runs in the 1st Inning to put any sort of challenge(?) to the English batters.

 

[Random Aussie]

For most of the second rate teams, India, Oz, England, getting the tail out is harder than getting the top order out.

Soft batsmen used to pancake wickets and being able to hit the new ball over cover....

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin has an average of 38 , pretty good for a number 8

 

[Saurav]

floodlights on

 

[TM Riddle]

Anderson gets out his bunny yet again. This wicket is flat as a pancake.

we will see that when England comes to bat

 

[TM Riddle]

dhoni needs to bat through..good chance for him to improve his form..but he s not a test material IMO

 

[Saurav]

Ashwin has an average of 38 , pretty good for a number 8

yeah,more than Dhoni n Kohli

 

[TM Riddle]

appeal....down the legside I think

 

[HASHAM2]

yeah,more than Dhoni n Kohli

and also more than Yuvraj singh

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson continues here

 

[TM Riddle]

ashwin plays his shots better than many of the overhyped Indian batsmen.

 

[Saurav]

and also more than Yuvraj singh

yeah

 

[TM Riddle]

244/6
