India batting 133/5
Mera England mahan
Re: England v India 2nd test
Coincidentally India finishes day at 133*2 for 6. Pujara 114 not out. Ashein 70 not out off 84 deliveries.
Saw Tendulkar getting out to a beauty from panesar. Ball turned past the outside edge of his bat and took out off stump. God needs to call it a day.
Dhoni I don't think is Test material esp keeping wickets.
Went to sleep after lunch!
Re: England v India 2nd test
Definitely!
In 9 test innings since his 80 against Australia at Sydney, Sachin has not crossed 30
15, 8, 25, 13, 19, 17, 27, 13, 8
Time for Rahane or someone-else to step in
Re: England v India 2nd test
England so far in the driving seat
but anyone can win this match
Re: England v India 2nd test
Indian spinners not getting any purchase. I expect England to win this match.
Re: England v India 2nd test
Two wickets within 20 min. One in last over before lunc.
Ball bouncing and turning.
Re: England v India 2nd test
Last wicket was a sharp catch at silly point by Gambhir off Ojha - Bairstow. Was wondering sheered I had heard this name. His dad was a Yorkshire playrr
Re: England v India 2nd test
Cook and Pietersen, both hit hundreds (the 22nd of their careers) to join Hammond, Cowdrey and Boycott as the highest test centurions for England
Cricket Records | England | Records | Test matches | Most hundreds | ESPN Cricinfo
Both should score atleast another 10 hundreds before they retire
Re: England v India 2nd test
Yes. KP in fact brezed thru the 80s and 90 s. It was like watching men vs boys.
Re: England v India 2nd test
If India can restrict England to 400-425 in the 1st innings, they can still win this game
Re: England v India 2nd test
I hope. So. Too afraid to watch. First session today was a torture.
I have stated this abt Dhoni before at least twice. During a potential runout he does not take the trouble to position himself. In our days eicketkeeper would stand behind stumps wrt throw. Dhoni always stands to a side. Today ball hit to fine leg. Dhoni was caught on one side of stump aswins throw went past stumps away from side Dhoni positioned himself. Result a runout missed ( Cook or KP).
Re: England v India 2nd test
India on the ropes
66/4 in 2nd innings
GOD cant play monty at all PAWNED second time a row
Re: England v India 2nd test
To be honest, I don't want Bhagwan to Retire just now. Retiring after being Zaleel-o-Khwaar'ed by the Pakistani team would be sweeter.
Re: England v India 2nd test
Kohli and UV gone 
Re: England v India 2nd test
If India can restrict England to 400-425 in the 1st innings, they can still win this game
They did restrict them to 415 but victory now looks far away
79/5
Mera England Mahan.
Superb bowling by Panesaar
Re: England v India 2nd test
India on the verge of defeat.
I have always held the belief that teams in India lose because they fold under pressure of the massive scores the quality Indian batting has always put up, however India has trundlers for bowlers, always has. If a team played even without the slightest pressure they'd maul the bowlers, which has happened here.
None of them are good enough, the fact Zaheer Khan is so highly rated says it all. How can a country of 1 billion not even produce one half quality pace bowler?
Re: England v India 2nd test
I think England goofed up by not playing Panesar in the first test. You have got to play two spinners in Indian/Asian conditions
Here they got the balance of the attack right and are reaping the rewards
Re: England v India 2nd test
I said early on India will lose this Test. Went to sleep after lunch. Wish I was wrong.

Aap Khush tho hum bhi Khush!!!
