India vs England | 4th Test | Nagpur | 13/12/12 | Day 1

[Kwremb]

I think we have that right.

All poor decisions against India are India's fault for not having DRS. All against us are India's fault for denying us DRS. End of the day, it's India's denial giving you lot a bad time and us bad decisions.

I'm no Indian fan but this is a classic English whinge, I mean whinging about having the right to whinge How whingy can it get )

 

[Fire Bird]

No. I have made bets on here before and no surprise, people dont pay up.

People in the SC dont take bets seriously. My childhood friend bets with me (still bets), he loses all the time but never pays up. Bets are almost made in jest. But illegal betting on the other hand

 

[IgnitedMind]

sharma in

 

[BlackThunder]

Thank you Dhoni

 

[TM Riddle]

ok ishant going to bowl last over before lunch I think

 

[Random Aussie]

no money ... whoever loses affixes signature prescribed by the winner for a month . wanna bet

Pass

On the plus side, they have bowled 31 overs in a session. Amazing.

 

[Ambi]

Useless chawla selected again.I think his off field relationship with dhoni is very

 

[Jeetu111]

ok ishant going to bowl last over before lunch I think

not having 2nd pacer is bad for us. 1 more over after this before lunch .

 

[MRSN]

reverse swing India missing a pacer here

 

[rooster]

Lucky!!! inside edge!!! KP hang on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma back

 

[Fire Bird]

I'm no Indian fan but this is a classic English whinge, I mean whinging about having the right to whinge How whingy can it get )

Thats a multi level whinge which the English have perfected.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma is making the ball talk

 

[TM Riddle]

not having 2nd pacer is bad for us. 1 more over after this before lunch .

I agree ..don't see any logic for playing chawla here..but again its dhoni..

 

[Saurav]

not a bad wicket at all guys

 

[Saurav]

I'm no Indian fan but this is a classic English whinge, I mean whinging about having the right to whinge How whingy can it get )

)))

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden

 

[MRSN]

Sharma is making the ball talk

to be honest saw him bowling his heart out in Ranji trophy..hard work paying off

 

[TM Riddle]

60/2

 

[IgnitedMind]

sharma -- 7 overs 8 runs 2 wickets

what a legend!!

 

[Fire Bird]

not having 2nd pacer is bad for us. 1 more over after this before lunch .

 

[James]

sharma -- 7 overs 8 runs 2 wickets

what a legend!!

...with a Test match bowling average of close to 40.

 

[Justcrazy]

Six minutes to go to lunch. This will be a 33-over session

 

[TM Riddle]

what has happened to ashwin these days?? looks pretty mediocre..no variations, no turn

 

[abdulhafeez306]

sharma -- 7 overs 8 runs 2 wickets

what a legend!!

Yea a hybrid of Ambrose and Garner.

 

[rooster]

Ball reversing. A pacer will be missed or sure.

WTH everyone the Cook's dismissal was shown there are no words like "unlucky, lucky, missed, impact outside, poor, umpire, angle". These are key words while explaining a poor decision.

These are the moments that make people think "there is something very suspicious here, maybe BCCI has ......"

 

[TM Riddle]

still no lunch??

 

[Fire Bird]

not a bad wicket at all guys

Agree. Dare I say its a sporting track in accordacne with the "spirit of cricket"

 

[Justcrazy]

Another maiden , so last over coming up.

 

[TM Riddle]

partnership of 44 off 129 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Bresnan would be really handy on this surface.

 

[MRSN]

kept low that one

 

[TM Riddle]

ok that kept low

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Eng would be happy to get close to 300 here in first innings , though it will take long time ....... batsmen have to be patient and grind.

 

[Saurav]

only seamer is causing trouble,good for England.but still whining

 

[TM Riddle]

dhoni might injure himself lol

 

[paulkatich]

Poor selection from india. 3 spinners. might be missing a trick here.

 

[IgnitedMind]

what a over

 

[Fire Bird]

...with a Test match bowling average of close to 40.

Have to say....PWNED....Has played 50 test matchs with that average,,,and one day he takes two wickets in a sessions and he becomes "legendary" . No wonder Indian cricket is where it is

 

[Deus ex machina]

We'll miss Finn so much.

Sharma can do this at trundler pace imagine what Finn could do.

 

[TM Riddle]

lunch day 1... England 61/2.

 

[IgnitedMind]

...with a Test match bowling average of close to 40.

stats are misleading !!

Stats are like miniskirts ,while they show a lot..they hide the most important things -- Legend Navjoth singh sidhu

Yea a hybrid of Ambrose and Garner.

dont insult sharma !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

61 / 2

 

[IgnitedMind]

lunch

 

[TM Riddle]

We'll miss Finn so much.

Sharma can do this at trundler pace imagine what Finn could do.

imagine what umesh yadav would have done

 

[Jeetu111]

Bresnan would be really handy on this surface.

yup .lunch at 61/2 & Dhoni & Duncan will tell Ashwin to bowl with a 15 step run-up & try to reverse !

 

[Fire Bird]

33 overs in the opening session in a test match that too by India in India

 

[Saurav]

good session.even at lunch.nothing for spinners.only for seamers in this pitch

KP's wicket is crucial

 

[IgnitedMind]

Have to say....PWNED....Has played 50 test matchs with that average,,,and one day he takes two wickets in a sessions and he becomes "legendary" . No wonder Indian cricket is where it is

people are trying to hard to pawn ...joke tha yaar

 

[Deus ex machina]

imagine what umesh yadav would have done

A few half trackers down leg stump every over.

 

[abdulhafeez306]

dont insult sharma !!!

You're right, apologies. He is more the reincarnation of Malcolm Marshall.

 

[James]

Have to say....PWNED....Has played 50 test matchs with that average,,,and one day he takes two wickets in a sessions and he becomes "legendary" . No wonder Indian cricket is where it is

Have to agree, and after seeing his reply, agree even more

 

[Saurav]

We'll miss Finn so much.

Sharma can do this at trundler pace imagine what Finn could do.

yeah he'd been deadly.still dont get Bresnan selection.Meaker is good too

 

[IgnitedMind]

I think according to Spirit of cricket....Andy flower should request Dhoni to not bowl Sharma.....

 

[Fire Bird]

people are trying to hard to pawn ...joke tha yaar

Ok. Got it. My sarcasm meter was not on

 

[rooster]

Good session for India and a testing session for England I would say.

It was damage control for England but KP being KP played in his own method. One of these two need to make it big if England want to score a decent 1st inns score. Batsmen to come was Bell, Root and Prior not much to be honest.

 

[Fire Bird]

yup .lunch at 61/2 & Dhoni & Duncan will tell Ashwin to bowl with a 15 step run-up & try to reverse !

Only thing that will be reversed is Dunkin Donuts contract at the end of the series

 

[rooster]

A few half trackers down leg stump every over.

lol. But seriously India will miss Yadhav and England will miss Finn.

 

[Gunther]

Come on Trott! Shut me up. And wow Root is playing! Hope he gets a big one

 

[Tridibans_16]

Enough runs already... England can safely declare

 

[SL_Fan]

Cook got majorly ripped off. Dharamsena

10.3
Sharma to Cook, OUT, Sharma has got one. That never looked out. Poor umpiring. Length ball, angling away after pitching on off, hitting him outside the line too. Atrocious call from umpire Dharamsena. Not one ball has swung this morning, and you can't give this out when the ball is not swinging or seaming. There have been quite a few umpiring shockers this series, and this is close to the most shocking ones

 

[SL_Fan]

Eng rebuilding though but that was a huge wkt for India. If India can get another couple of wkts early then Eng might be in a lot of trouble.

11.32am That's lunch. Some of the most unappealing cricket you will see. Low, slow pitch, Indians not trying to turn the ball, poor for stroke play. It's a can't-play-shots-can't-get-wickets pitch. And ironically, with India stacking their side up with four spinners, the wickets have fallen to a fast bowler and an umpire. Anyway, there is promise for after lunch. The ball has begun to reverse, so that might be a challenge. And KP is using his reach to turn balls into half-volleys, and is playing some unbelievable shots. We will be back around five minutes past noon

 

[Fire Bird]

Lol epic tiger picture. Whether the cornered tiger fights back or is shot and turned into a rug remains to be seen

 

[musaarthali]

Phainty started...finally

 

[saiyan0312]

Ishant sharma doing the one match thing. Anyway Cook gone for 1 shocking stuff from the umpire good partnership but will needs alot more.

 

[saiyan0312]

peterson better play a cook type innings.

 

[saiyan0312]

Sharma back

 

[Jeetu111]

Phainty started...finally

what does that mean ?

 

[saiyan0312]

 

[saiyan0312]

fifty partnership

 

[Jeetu111]

my prediction : England to score 322 in this innings .

 

[James]

LOL the Indian commentary is horrendous, I didn't realise quite how bad it was.

They haven't even mentioned the Cook shocker, and Manjrekar is still chuntering on about the Trott call.

Totally engineered. And I bet over there they swallow every word of it and every little fabricated history.

 

[saiyan0312]

Sharma to Pietersen, 2 runs, little bit of shape in here, worked with the angle from around middle stump on a length towards long leg, chase around for Sehwag and you won't be surprised to learn he can't save the second run

Ok the sehwag comment was great......

Ishant leaked 8 runs in the over

 

[MVP26]

Other than the low bounce this looks like a flat wicket.

 

[saiyan0312]

LOL the Indian commentary is horrendous, I didn't realise quite how bad it was.

They haven't even mentioned the Cook shocker, and Manjrekar is still chuntering on about the Trott call.

Ofcourse for some reason they should have said the ball was great but the the decision was a shocking.

yeah.every one from barmy army swallowed it .

 

[saiyan0312]

my prediction : England to score 322 in this innings .

That would be a fine first innings score.

 

[saiyan0312]

yeah.every one from barmy army swallowed it .

Well they are getting paid. The loyalties to the barmy army come second to cold hard CASH.

 

[rooster]

lol at Manju and Ravi I think the 'BCCI mode' is on after Amarnath's comments.

 

[MRSN]

Sharma gonna get injured sooner or later lol
