Re: India Tour of England 2011
and its almost curtains for India in first inning unless Raina and Dhoni digs in deep with Laxman.

26.2
Bresnan to Dravid, OUT, 135.5 kph, that's a nut! Dravid is undone by a cracking delivery from Bresnan, it landed on a perfect length and straightened off the pitch, zipping past the outside edge of his hopeful defence and making a mess of the stumps.
R Dravid b Bresnan 22 (68b 3x4 0x6) SR: 32.35
Re: India Tour of England 2011
4 wickets down.
Abhinav Mukund played better under tougher conditions at Lords. Sehwag gamble not working so far. As GA said few months ago his footwork not great.
Kohli may have been better instead of Raina.
Excellent bowling by England.
Tendulkar, you are no Gavaskar.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Today is not a day for batsmen around, India in trouble at 75/4 and SL all out at 191 in 41.1 overs.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
The ball that dismissed Dravid was a beauty - Outswinger that knocked off the off stump
Re: India Tour of England 2011

33.1
Anderson to Raina, OUT, 143.8 kph, Plays all around this one! He has missed a straight half-volley! Anderson has been taking the ball away from Raina, who sees a juicy full around off and goes for a big drive. This, though, comes in with the angle, and takes the middle stump out. Raina hopelessly outside the line
SK Raina b Anderson 4 (21b 0x4 0x6) SR: 19.04
[TABLE="class: commsTable"]
34.4
Bresnan to Laxman, OUT, Laxman out pulling for the third time in three Tests! He is a positive batsman, though, and has got a few runs with that shot too. This time, though, perhaps the ball wasn't short enough, and he got a top edge to long leg. England absolutely kicked with this wicket. Bresnan gets three
VVS Laxman c Broad b Bresnan 30 (41b 6x4 0x6) SR: 73.17
and India 100/6. Thats the end of it i guess....
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Lots of hard work now required by India to come back into the game
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Ideal situation for Dhoni to come back in form with a bang
Re: India Tour of England 2011
oh I proved correct. Dhoni is playing a blinder today. from 111-7 to 205-8 at tea.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Good recovery by India, 222/8, Dhoni playing well :k:
Re: India Tour of England 2011
good counter attack by dhoni. India 224/8. Considering that they were 111/7 at one stage, its a very good position. Now they have something on board to bowl at.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
224 all out
Re: India Tour of England 2011
England 41/0
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Cricinfo
"Allow me to bring in the "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" analogy to Indian Cricket. If Jack and Jill had access to water by simply turning on a faucet in their air conditioned house would they still be motivated to go up the hill to fetch a pail of water? The youngsters in team India have easy access to name, fame and money by playing 3/4 weeks of T20 cricket in a year at home. What is the motivation for them to play out sessions after sessions of test cricket in hot sun, like for example, Dravid has done in his career?" You've got a point, NGR, but what about the 'Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after' part?

Re: India Tour of England 2011
Another poor display of batting by the so called No 1 Indian Team
Someone here was saying that Sehwag will score 200........Only 20 more to go Coz he Scored a Golden Duck :)
Re: India Tour of England 2011
England closed the day on 84/0.
They should bat for the next two days scoring nearly 600 runs and than put India in.
