just let me know when you guys are coming here :D spicy yummy biryani :p
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Munaf Patel is the only bowler who has created any trouble for the batsmen.
Harbhajan has looked very ordinary and so has Ifran Pathan. Sreesanth and Kumble have been just about decent.
Also, slightly disappointed in Dravid/Chappel's decision to field after winning the toss.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Technically Indian team is short one bowler coz of bad patch of Harbi-burpie, its not a bad idea to use sachin or shewag or yuvraj in place of harbi-burpie for a while.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
^ yes, India is short ONE bowler and short TWO batsmen.
The Indian team mgmt may have been either extra confident or they read the pitch totally wrong.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
well played O. Shah on debut for 50ty 
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Cannot understand Dravid's love affair with Harbhajan.
He has been bowling crap all day....but Dravid still persists with him...while Munaf Patel who has so fo far bowled very impressively is being ignored.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
I dont think so he is ignored but Dravid is working in a logical way I think; he is giving a similar amout of rest to all bowlers, I know he should have given a little more go to Munaf when he was troubling O. Shah. I think Munaf and Kumble makes a good pair to bowl in tandom.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
i think some of u know this already but owais is a blood relative of me
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
^^ kiya?
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
**100 for Strauss. Well played. ** :k:
If this continues Dravid will regret his decision to bowl first.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Owais is from Karachi.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Eng 230/2
Strauss out for 128.
England in a strong position.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
wat happened to owais shah?
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Dravid chose the day on which he was made captain till 2007 to display some poor Captaincy.
It was not just the wrong decision after winning the toss, he inexplicably removed Munaf Patel from the bowling after he had given a torrid time to Strauss and Pietersen.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Lets see if England can manage to put 400+ score. This pitch will deteriorate and spin in all likelyhood, Mr Full monty has shown enough talent to give hope to England.
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
Test matches are boooooooring! Last week they scored 800+ in 100 overs and yesterday in the DalRice vs SpottedDick match they scored 250. What a bore

Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
97.3 Patel to Flintoff, no run, good length delivery just outside off, induces the edge, sitter for Sehwag at second slip, dropped!!
Two dropped catches off the bowling of Patel now, in two days?
Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
97.3 Patel to Flintoff, no run, good length delivery just outside off, induces the edge, sitter for Sehwag at second slip, dropped!!
97.4 Patel to Flintoff, 1 run, even easier this time, Flintoff slices it straight to gully, as easy as it gets for Kumble, sitter in it truest sense, dropped by Kumble, one really wonders why Kumble fields at an important position like gully!!
A really unlucky over for Munaf, catches dropped off successive deliveries, the first one by Sehwag at second slip who dropped a regulation chance and then Kumble at gully dropped an absolute sitter off the next delivery
