Re: England v India 2nd test
How do you stand at first slip and not br crouched. Early in England innings an edge off Ojha ball went to Sehwag at 1st slip. Hit him on his left foot. He was literally standing full height - no crouch. It was a difficult chance. But with his erect stance it was an impossible chance.

India will make the necessary changes and win this series.

necessary changes to the pitch? ;)
Re: England v India 2nd test
well..if india manages a lead of 125..they may win
Re: England v India 2nd test
Dhoni demanded 'turning pitches with bounce' and the Mumbai curator it seems did come good on his side of the deal ;) Will he now receive a cheque from Dhoni?
I hope a loss here doesn't make Dhoni drop his original demand. Don't want to see docile (Ahmedabad-style) pitches for the remaining two games

I dun think so Ashwin and Ojha do Ajmal and Rehman

Re: England v India 2nd test
Funny stuff. Why wasn't the Shukla family selected?
It was a joke watching gambhitlr play with tail tenders. Did not make any attempt to farm strike and be more aggressive.
Re: England v India 2nd test
Mera England Mahan.

Re: England v India 2nd test
1 all with 2 tests to play. Series could still go either way.
Re: England v India 2nd test

Out of the team Yuvi TendulkarDhoni Zaheer Khan

Re: England v India 2nd test
India on the verge of defeat.
How can a country of 1 billion not even produce one half quality pace bowler?
What are you talking about. Looks like you have not heard of the following prospects
Kalyanasundaram - a hatrick against the powerful Bombay Ranji Trophy team
Abdul Ismail - the speed merchant from Bombay
Subrato Guha and Barun Berman- the speedsters from Bengal
Pandurang Salgaonkar - a genuine fast bowler from Maharashtra.
Talking about speed, who has not heard of our promising center forward Chimni ( Field Hockey), the fastest forward in the game, albeit without the ball.
Re: England v India 2nd test
Panesar was the difference (agree with Dhoni)
Once again I don't quite agree with the MoM award. Not that KP was totally undeserving of the award but I would have given it to Panesar for his 11 wickets for 220 runs in the match. Besides not so easy to deliver when you are constantly in and out of the team (because of traditional English reluctance to play two spinners). Swann took 8 for 113.
English spinners took 19 wickets in a Test for the first time since 1958, when Jim Laker (11) and Tony Lock (eight) knocked over a poor New Zealand side for 67 and 109 at Headingley.
Re: England v India 2nd test
^ moreover in both linings Panessrs wickets were mostly from top 8 while Swann had quite a few soft wickets.
Re: England v India 2nd test
And one more thing, Waleed. Ever heard of young VV Kumar from Madras? He has probably forgotten more about right arm leg spin than Afrid ever knew about the topic
Re: England v India 2nd test
Never heard of this blog let this guy be introduce in the upcoming series against us and we will see how much potential he got :ajmal:
