India vs England | 3rd Test | Kolkota| 08/12/12 | Day 4

[Justcrazy]

maiden.

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng need to strike before lunch here.

 

[rooster]

Holly ****!!! Luck is not with us today.

 

[rooster]

Oh yeah commies it's just 11 Indian players playing this match, no Englishmen to talk about. Keep going.

 

[Justcrazy]

43 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

eng need to be patient here, one wicket can give another.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Square Drive]

What a horrible full-toss by Samit.

 

[Justcrazy]

India fighting it out here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel is a useless player, why Eng keep playing him.

 

[Justcrazy]

68 overs more today.

 

[Square Drive]

Will Bell's (albeit tough) drop cost England? Gambhir was on 12* at that time, and now he's 20*.

 

[SL_Fan]

Indian openers doing well

 

[Square Drive]

What a shot by Sehwag! :4

 

[Square Drive]

Beaten, and :4 byes!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

sehwag 36 not out with 5 boundaries.

 

[musaarthali]

RR 3.4

this is not how test cricket should be played

 

[Justcrazy]

If Sehwag stays till Tea, India would wipe out a good portion of the lead.

 

[Square Drive]

Sehwag playing well, but he is cramping.

 

[Square Drive]

If Sehwag stays till Tea, India would wipe out a good portion of the lead.

Lol. Let's at least see if he can last until lunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

India are batting positively ........ good tactics, it wipes up the lead quickly.

 

[musaarthali]

By end of day 80 lead possible.....

 

[Square Drive]

England just need the wicket of Sehwag.

 

[Justcrazy]

last 10 overs 42 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

lunch round the corner.

 

[musaarthali]

RR amost 4 )

 

[Square Drive]

Great delivery, beaten.

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 142 runs with 10 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Great delivery, beaten.

Beaten does not matter , what matters is wickets, and so far India have denied Eng.

 

[Square Drive]

Sehwag smashed back-to-back boundaries, followed by a huge :6 by Gambhir!

 

[Ruri]

England losing the plot here. Come on lads.

 

[Square Drive]

And another boundary!

 

[BlackThunder]

Finally order has been restored.

 

[Square Drive]

At lunch, India trail by 121 with 10 wickets in hand. England will be hoping to get 3 wickets until India wipe off the deficit.

 

[musaarthali]

) RR above 4 )

We can dream of 120+ lead by end of day

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 121 runs with 10 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Great start by India.

 

[SL_Fan]

Eng losing the stranglehold on the game. Fast.

 

[SL_Fan]

Sehwag is on fire! Eng need to buy his wicket somehow. Otherwise Eng will be chasing leather all day and prolly most of tomorrow as well.

 

[sam_ahm]

ENG have lost the plot quite quickly, first of all they should have scored more, and secondly and more importantly they have dropped both Viru and Gauti, and they are not the kind of batsmen you'd want to drop.

Great start for India, but the job is far from being done, ENG still have the upper hand in this game, next session is absolutely crucial for both teams.

 

[James]

Slight gulp. Hopefully the worm will turn after lunch.

 

[musaarthali]

Slight gulp. Hopefully the worm will turn after lunch.

RR above 4

 

[Ruri]

Swanny!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Count-Down starts for yet another big defeat

 

[rooster]

Crucial wicket for us. Good start.

 

[rooster]

Good move to bring Finn back. With uneven bounce a pacer has to bowl from one end before the batsmen get settled.

 

[rooster]

Swann already bowled a better ball than Ashwin bowled in his entire 54 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If india scores 375 ..then it will be a very close match.

 

[James]

Cook's fields are too defensive.

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 109 runs with 9 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

India need to capitalize on the start they got , good portion of lead wiped out

 

[Justcrazy]

Finn has bowled well so far , kept it tight.

 

[Justcrazy]

The match interestingly poised here. Even if India wipe out the lead , they will need a good lead to put Eng under any pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Pujara

Run out, needless single that

 

[James]

Brilliant bowling all session to create the pressure for that mistake.

What a piece of fielding! Worth Bell's selection alone.

And Gambhir costs the wicket of yet another superior partner. He's an absolute liability.

 

[Ruri]

Oh lovely! Runout!

 

[Justcrazy]

Another run out involving GG )

 

[rooster]

Belly you beauty!!! You earned to play 4th test!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 109 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[JibranAnsari]

tendulkar will thrash finn

 

[rooster]

*** you can't ask for an edge to third ump. There's no DRS for gods sake????

 

[Sandeep]

BCCI, you morons... go and have DRS!

 

[kingusama92]

)

What the heck was that?

Are they making rules as they go? Third umpires can't adjudge not outs for bad umpiring calls involving edges.

 

[Ruri]

*** you can't ask for an edge to third ump. There's no DRS for gods sake????

That's just not right.

India gets DRS. There should be a complaint lodged for that, I don't believe its allowed.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Incompetent nincompoops hyped up as Rockstars of cricket is showing what they really are(which is far from any star).

A collective failure barring the 1st test. Still, I would blame our batters more than our bowlers for this debacle of performance.

Besides players I would also like to scrutinize the backroom staff, who have been so ineffective in almost all conditions given to them. Duncan Fletcher, Trevor Penny and Joe Dawes must get booted out (Indian team had not an IOTA of improvement under these trio of coaches)

 

[James]

That was highly confusing and possibly disgraceful.

 

[kingusama92]

If I am England, I am storming into the match referee's cabin and lodging a complaint.

That's horrific.

A 3rd umpire should know the rules on what he can adjudge. It's simple enough really.

 

[insaftak]

W.t.f was that...

Umpire checked with third umpire to see if he caught it and trott did catch it.... why is third umpire giving indians a DRS,,,

issed:

 

[Anfield]

how's Gambhir given not out? What the eff?

 

[Sandeep]

We don't deserve to play test cricket Even Bangladesh showed more fight than us.. Lets go and play that IPL... This is absolute shameful..

 

[rooster]

That's just not right.

India gets DRS. There should be a complaint lodged for that, I don't believe its allowed.

Yeah it looks like DRS is there for India and not England.

Yeah Gambir gone. Common England.

 

[Anfield]

who's the third umpire?

 

[insaftak]

and Gambhir is

some JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[James]

Gambhir goes to Finn now. He is an utterly useless player and needs to be dropped ASAP.

Shame Swann didn't get the credit though. Was a stunning catch from Trott of all people as well lol.

 

[Sandeep]

Come in Kohli... I'm sure this guy is going to bag one more single digit score..

 

[Ruri]

GET OFF TUBBY. You had no right to stay standing.


Whoever is the TV umpire better be prepared for a warning. That is infuriating. Why not check if Compton had gloved his lbw shot?

 

[kingusama92]

Gone anyway.

Still doesn't excuse the 3rd umpire. Incompetent.

 

[rooster]

Who the hell is the third ump???? Illiterate as***lo

 

[kingusama92]

TV umpire is an Indian.

Vineet Kulkarni.

Biased? Damn straight. Making up rules in favour of India.
