India vs England | 4th Test | Nagpur | 14/12/12 | Day 2

[Swaraj!!]

Hah!!! There you go

 

[kingusama92]

Beauty.

What a start.

 

[Kwremb]

Hahahah India losing this Test alright ) ) )

 

[rooster]

Too bad.....Chawla was easily the worst bowler on show, with his line and lengths all over the place. But he ends up with 4 wickets.

Hope, the people who select were actually watching and dont go by the scoreline. He shouldnt be in a test team.

Well your wish may not come true.

Gavaskar who watched every ball of this match just now said Chawla bowled brilliantly.

 

[Chromeuser]

Sehwag
Now India will paly tukk tukk to save their wickets so India have very less chance now to win this test....
someone has to play at a strike rate of 80-90 otherwise no chance for India to win....

 

[Robert]

But.... but.... Anderson can't swing the ball without cloud cover!

 

[MattyB]

Meh, most SC crowds rarely seem to show appreciation for a good performance from other teams.

England, SA, Aus all seem to applaud other people doing well (except for when Eng and Aus play)

Even in the Ashes a good performance from the opposition is still applauded. Look at the way Ponting was applauded off the pitch after his 156 in the 2005 Ashes.

 

[mosh101]

Bowling jimmyyyy

 

[Jo_Don]

India's only chance at big, quick runs is gone. Congrats to the poms on their historic series victory.

 

[Ruri]

Oh apparently this pitch has bounce when an actual pacer bowls

 

[rooster]

Well well well What a delivery by Jimmy.

Now 330 will look a lot for India and their fans.

@musaarthali, are you really there?

 

[mosh101]

Manjrekar whining about the pitch wheb ishant was bowling

 

[SL_Fan]

Sehwag goooooone

 

[Justcrazy]

Sehwag wicket is very crucial , it makes sure India will not score as fast as they could have.

 

[SL_Fan]

 

[rooster]

Really good to see Bressie bowling 135+

 

[Justcrazy]

It is India who need to make the push for victory ....... India need to get to a position where they can put Eng under pressure.

 

[Ruri]

Stop feeding the hip/legside flick

 

[Saurav]

But.... but.... Anderson can't swing the ball without cloud cover!

you r right,that didnt swing.infact Sehwag played for the swing n missed a straight one

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is slow , but if India applies themselves here, batsmen can negate the slowness with patience.

 

[ethan hunt]

lol @ sehwag factor . Fatty has accumulated quite a lot of eggs against jimmy recently .

 

[rooster]

WTH Bressie had a good shout last over but no replays

 

[Ruri]

By the way:

Before this match Anderson has dismissed Sehwag 5 times for 3.4 runs apiece
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...late=results;type=batting;view=bowler_summary

Make that 6 at less than 3 now

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson continues, Eng would love another wicket at this stage here

 

[James]

Bresie to Pujara was a decent shout but wasn't out.

 

[Jo_Don]

The pitch is slow , but if India applies themselves here, batsmen can negate the slowness with patience.

Patience isn't going to win them the match and square the series. The poms have taken time out of the match, and they're not batting last when the pitch starts to break.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[akamaka]

Bradman of flat tracks out on duck

 

[James]

Sehwag against England - 7 ducks in 17 Tests )

 

[Justcrazy]

Patience isn't going to win them the match and square the series. The poms have taken time out of the match, and they're not batting last when the pitch starts to break.

You should first try to get into a position from where you cannot loose a Test match , then only you can think about winning. India first needs to make sure that they get to a position where they cannot loose.

 

[rooster]

Bresie to Pujara was a decent shout but wasn't out.

Doesn't matter out or not but should show some replays

 

[Ruri]

Now all we need an inside edge to be adjudged out on Pujara.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 1 after 3

 

[James]

Manjrekar now trying to talk up Sehwag's triple hundreds lol. Utterly laughable commentator.

 

[Ruri]

Manjrekar now trying to talk up Sehwag's triple hundreds lol. Utterly laughable commentator.

He was mediocrity defined as a player and sycophant as a commentator... Waste of a commentator slot.

 

[Kwremb]

A 3-1 hiding at home would comedy gold )

 

[James]

Tests since beginning of 2011 - India's only batsmen to average above 40 are Pujara and Ashwin.

lololol.

 

[SL_Fan]

This Indian team really lacks fight when the going gets tough. India are missing Dravid and VVS big time. They were very under appreciated by India imo. It was always SRT this SRT that. Now that they are gone their true value is starting to show.

 

[James]

A 3-1 hiding at home would comedy gold )

Hmm yes, would remind me of something similar that happened just under two years ago

 

[Ruri]

Anderson seems to have added a bit of pace since the summer

 

[Robert]

you r right,that didnt swing.infact Sehwag played for the swing n missed a straight one

)

 

[Kwremb]

Hmm yes, would remind me of something similar that happened just under two years ago

Not sure what you're talking about

 

[James]

All very quiet on the Indian PPer front

 

[rooster]

Now all we need an inside edge to be adjudged out on Pujara.

almost had that one against Bressie

 

[Robert]

A 3-1 hiding at home would comedy gold )

 

[Ruri]

Save singles, choke them out

 

[James]

you r right,that didnt swing.infact Sehwag played for the swing n missed a straight one

 

[Gunther]

Is that a donkey Robert ?

 

[RexRex]

Segwag what a putz

 

[James]

Look on Viru's face on the way back was priceless, like someone had just nicked his Christmas hamper

 

[OZGOD]

LOL Sehwag. Can't field, can't bowl and seems to have forgotten how to bat

 

[rooster]

A 3-1 hiding at home would comedy gold )

What an epic it would be 3-1 in Australia, 3-1 in India that's like a dream

 

[Jo_Don]

You should first try to get into a position from where you cannot loose a Test match , then only you can think about winning. India first needs to make sure that they get to a position where they cannot loose.

That's not going to help them save the series, is it? 2-1 is as good as 3-1.

 

[Jo_Don]

All very quiet on the Indian PPer front

I'd be tempted to check out the ICF forums if I were you

 

[ethan hunt]

the indian opeing pair of fatman and robin is clearly not working , time for the angry dwarf to answer his critics with a well made 20.

 

[Kwremb]

Should bowl a spinner before tea

 

[rooster]

Oh in the air!!! Common guys take one more before tea.

 

[Ruri]

Nearly chopped on

 

[Kwremb]

I'd be tempted to check out the ICF forums if I were you

Lol always a good place for laughs when India gets thrashed

 

[James]

Urrr cripes, Pujara uppish through cover then nearly plays on, he is a lucky boy.

Get Swann on against the dwarf, see what happens.

 

[Saurav]

Monty to bowl

 

[rooster]

7 off the over. But couple of close chances. Jimmy is bowling beautifully.

 

[Ruri]

Needs to nip this thing in the bud?

Let Jimmy sledge if he likes

 

[Robert]

 

[SL_Fan]

Around 30 overs to close of play. So plenty of time for a few more wickets today. Pujara's wicket the key I would think.

 

[James]

120/5 at close methinks.

 

[Ruri]

Get Jimmy off for Swann, get them back in when it reverses more

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

26 / 1

 

[rooster]

Common Alaistar stop the boundaries

 

[rooster]

142.2 kph

 

[SL_Fan]

weighed down by all the expectations?

 

[Jo_Don]

Lol @ the donkey pics. Go easy on them guys, not a good time to be an Indian cricket fan

 

[Saurav]

Gambhir looking decent so far

 

[James]

Anderson bowling quick.

 

[Justcrazy]

India trail by 303 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Saurav]

Lol @ the donkey pics. Go easy on them guys, not a good time to be an Indian cricket fan
