England V India - The decider at Oval

If ENG declares at 600 and on top of that on 2nd day I am sure indians will be under preasure and then we’ll see who plays well under preasure :hehe:

At tea on the second day England are 483/8.

A good fight back by India with Harbhajan taking 4 for 104.

Vaughan unlucky the second time around again getting out at 195, missing his double century by 5 runs.

News from the grapewine is that ENG crossed 500 runs :)

ENG all out for 515 Impressive.

Looks like Kumble and Agarkar got THRASHED all over :hehe:

Still better than this thrashing to Waqar & Co.

At least we dont claim of having best bowling attack in the world :hehe:

Ofcourse how can you claim? simple cuz you don’t have one :hehe:

And incase you did not notice here is the link

I've a feeling India is gonna set a big target for England or vice versa.

I was right. Wasn't I? ;)

That link doesn’t show anything about land of fast bowlers (All it shows is Imran Khan captained 26 aways test matches and won only 5 - despite having so many fast bowlers, Gangs achieved the same feat in just 16 tests without having any quality bowlers :hehe: )

BTW - Any comments on why Best fast bowlers from the fast bowling Land were **THRASHED ** ? :hehe:

S Bangar Batting On Strike
5 Runs
on
33 Balls
with strike rate
15.15

whats up with him :confused: cant he play fast ? yet another guy who will make test cricket boring after muddaser nazar. Its ok k you dont have to smash all around in the ground in test match but cmon !

once again “selected” statistics. How about bringing ALL statistics. How about looking at their LOST rate. Here are COMPLETE statistics :slight_smile:



PLAYER				M	W		L		D
GANGULY AS CAPTAIN (AWAY):	16	5(31.25%)	7(43.75%)	4(25%)
IMRAN AS CAPTAIN (AWAY) : 	26	5(19.23%)	6(23.07%)	15(57.69%)


How about Ganguly’s MATCH LOST rate 43.75 as compared to IMRAN’s just 23.07 :slight_smile:

Dear..thats perfectly OK. he is playing a perfect role . India is anyway scoring more tahn 3/over. We need to fnish this day with only 1 wicket down and set platfrom for Sachin,Gangs and laxman.

I thought we are discussing ENG vs IND and why IND hasn’t won a test in the last 16 years except in their backyard :hehe: wonder where PAK comes in?

One more thing for the sake of argument if you did not kenw I am a Pakistani wonder who’s stat you would have shown save urself? I guess SL :hehe:

When you have to save a match or humiliation you start doing tick tick tick for the rest of inning.

:hehe: lol … ? ager abhee SL team ka koi banda forum per hota na tu tum meen yee baat kehney kee jurrat nahee hotee :stuck_out_tongue:

Well agar baat jurrat ke hai then ur wrong but for the sake of argument ur right :hehe:

Again ..As usual you guys are speaking before HUMILIATION is inflicted on indians.Watch out your words !!!!! Phie jab mai Chaddi utarunga na to bura mat man-na?

Fir se Jhooth ?? India hasn’t won a TEST ?? We just won one Last week against England :hehe:

At Stumps on 2nd day

India 66/1 (22.0 ov)

We are gonna have intresting 3 days in this test.
If india gives England a lead of more than 100 runs then england has a chance... but if india reaches close to english score then English are going to have problem batting on 4th and 5th day.
