What no *England v India" official Thread...

[jakarta]

By not playing against us in a while.

Can't remember but they probably had a lot of home series as well?

If we go out there & beat them on their own pitches we will be undisputed No.1, but even the Aussies with McGrath and Warne struggled in the sub-continent.....

fighting back a bit 159-7

 

[chucky1973]

it sounds like the bowling is a bit naf at the moment (TMS)

 

[vulture]

now 178-7

Spin bowling on both sides has been toothless in this Series, bit of a worry for the Winter Tour to India!

 

[chucky1973]

Finally a wicket, that was becoming frustrating 195 - 8 Kumar out

 

[pasty]

Tail wagging a bit too much for my liking. Breaking 200 seemed unlikely at 111/7 but they've managed it thanks to Dhoni

 

[Gritt23]

Great knock from Dhoni, but really, that top order promised so much more, and yet they keep failing to deliver.

 

[chucky1973]

224-9, Dhoni finally out but a very good knock.

 

[chucky1973]

224 All Out

You'd have taken that at the start of the day, but from 111/8 it's a smidgen disappointing.

Or are we all just becoming greedy now

111/7 not 8, as it was the 8th wicket partnership that did the damage.

Overall though, very pleased. The life has hopefully gone out of the pitch a bit by now, with the heavy roller just flattening it a bit further.

In you go, Cooky & Strauss

Goodbye India - Your No.1 status was never deserved when compared to the Windies of my Youth and then the Ponting/McGrath/Warne Era Convicts, I think this mob of ours look like the Real Deal...

Close

India 224 all out

England 84 - 0

Looking a belter of a track for tomorrow and Friday

 

[chucky1973]

Big day for England today, if the weather stays fair, Kumar might get a bit of swing early doors, but the pitch looks a belter to bat on and England could make 350-400 runs today.

The more the better obviously, but even 300 today would do, a lead of 160 before setting about the Indians.

Any good live streams?

I'm beginning to understand how the Aussie cricket fans felt when England went down under 4 years ago holding the Ashes and were incredibly gash.

Always nice to beat a previously considered worthy opponent but it wears off when you realise how incredibly shit they are for an entire series.
