Remove sehwag from the slips

 

[Saurav]

Ya I know.But he is fat.

so was

 

[James]

I agree.

Ya I know.But he is fat.

I go back to Bumble's quote when Sehwag conceded a 2 in Kolkata while falling on his belly at midwicket - 'He's gone down in instalments there Sehwag'

 

[Jeetu111]

94/3 .......yessssss

 

[mosh101]

Jaddu strikes ! 70-30 to india now

 

[IndianWillow]

Patience.

They dont even have 100 lead yet and enough time in the match for us to force a win.

Knowing India of late, I would not be so sure of winning even if the target were 150. How much did India score in the second innings of the second and third tests? Barring the Dhoni-Kohli partnership Indian batsmen have done nothing since the first innings of the first test.

Silently, I am happy that England is content playing out a draw...as it might avert a 3-1 ignominy!!

 

[Saurav]

 

[James]

O deer Kevin, what a facepalm

Ian Bell, cometh the hour cometh the man!

 

[Saurav]

KP left arm trouble continues

 

[Ahson8]

And KP out. Disappointed with England's approach in this game. India deserves to win this one tbh

 

[MattyB]

I think our preparation to face spin is backfiring now. Twice now one of our batsmen has left a straight one thinking it would miss off stump.. Ohh dear.

 

[Saurav]

O deer Kevin, what a facepalm

Ian Bell, cometh the hour cometh the man!

 

[Saurav]

Jaddu has done well so far

 

[rooster]

KP gone. You can expect only one good inns from KP in a match.

Worst part is bell coming in a pressure situation.

 

[Jeetu111]

after Jadds got kp,he was singing : You Are My Pumpkin Pumpkin...
Hello Honey Bunny Honey Bunny

 

[Asif321]

England deserve to loose this match , they were playing like loosers
negative thinking , going for draw from day 1

 

[James]

India deserves to win this one tbh

What the fluff? Bit of a premature statement!

 

[Jeetu111]

98/3

 

[jattafridi]

big partnership is coming

 

[Amjid Javed]

England need to keep batting positive here! and not lose any more wickets.

 

[Jeetu111]

England deserve to loose this match , they were playing like loosers
negative thinking , going for draw from day 1

i agree

 

[rooster]

Surprisingly Trott is playing positively.

 

[James]

You know things are bad when...

...Jonathan Trott looks your most attacking batsman

 

[RexRex]

I agree.

Anderson sings this when Sachin comes.

 

[Saurav]

Bell of the mark,oh dear

 

[James]

Go on Bell! A great 2!
cough

 

[mosh101]

England need to keep scoring now ! No point in getting bogged down and then being bowled out !

 

[Jeetu111]

You know things are bad when...

...Jonathan Trott looks your most attacking batsman

still a draw imo .
104/3

 

[Saurav]

four great shot

 

[musaarthali]

England deserve to loose this match , they were playing like loosers
negative thinking , going for draw from day 1

Dont talk like that,this is how proper test cricket played

 

[James]

Bell, shot!

 

[musaarthali]

So we may have to chase around 150

 

[James]

Dont talk like that,this is how proper test cricket played

No, proper test cricket is when you lose 10-1 to England and Australia home and away.

 

[rooster]

Good to see bell playing positively but you can never trust the man

 

[Saurav]

Chawla should bowl now

 

[Ahson8]

What the fluff? Bit of a premature statement!

England are playing negatively. Rather than getting runs on the board, they're looking to block and block and get a draw that too with ample tine left in this game. That's a negative and defeatist mindset. They probably think that by blocking they'll manage to get a draw out of this game and win the series. What they don't realize is that wickets will keep falling at intervals and eventually they won't have enough runs to defend.

 

[musaarthali]

still a draw imo .
104/3

Stop this jinx nonsense..we are going to win this match.

 

[RexRex]

Bell will expose his soft underbelly any minute now #goonimplode

India haven't played positively at all, with the bat or in the field.

 

[James]

What a stroke. Trott looks good.

 

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 118 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[kingusama92]

Whoa!

What happened to England here? Playing T20 cricket now.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Draw in the bag. Back to sleep for me. Congrats to fellow England fans.

 

[kingusama92]

I go back to Bumble's quote when Sehwag conceded a 2 in Kolkata while falling on his belly at midwicket - 'He's gone down in instalments there Sehwag'

)

I remember that.

Classic Bumble.

 

[James]

facepalm worthy fielding from Sachin, turned a 0 into a 4.

...so as he got dismissed for 2, then Sachin's match contribution so far is minus 2 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Min overs remaining 17.0

 

[James]

wait n watch :mongaarthali

 

[JibranAnsari]

India should at least get another 3 today to make a match of it... bell is a walking wicket.

 

[musaarthali]

No, proper test cricket is when you lose 10-1 to England and Australia home and away.

Atleast we tried to play bit faster and not to put people into sleep

 

[Saurav]

Bell is clueless against spin n Dhoni gets Ishant bowling

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bell is clueless against spin n Dhoni gets Ishant bowling

So what , he bowls good offspin

 

[Saurav]

facepalm worthy fielding from Sachin, turned a 0 into a 4.

...so as he got dismissed for 2, then Sachin's match contribution so far is minus 2 runs

[mosh101]

Keep em boundaries coming

 

[Saurav]

So what , he bowls good offspin

[Justcrazy]

England lead by 122 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[musaarthali]

Unfortunately Sachin wont needed in second innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Jadeja has bowled pretty well in this test match.

 

[musaarthali]

wait n watch :mongaarthali

??

 

[musaarthali]

Jadeja has bowled pretty well in this test match.

If he played earlier instead of Bhajji we should have been leading series 3-0 now

 

[James]

Leading by 122/3, solid position.

 

[Saurav]

Leading by 122/3, solid position.
