Re: India Tour of England 2011
This loss was tough to take. But I distincltly remember what Sri Krishna (Antuman Alona) told Arjuna (Zero_One) before India-Pak one day - "It is only a game". Just gotta keep repeating that mantra.
me = Arjuna ????

Re: India Tour of England 2011
England reeling at 124-8 (not Pak!!!) .... flat track bullies eh!!?? :D
Re: India Tour of England 2011
"Weak" indian pace bowlers? :D
England has a dangerous tail though.. they bat all the way till #10.. Australia Pak and now India have discovered this.

Re: India Tour of England 2011
Broad was superb once again. Unfortunately Harbhajan's lack of performance is hurting india. I dont rate him at all. Cannot believe he has 400 wickets.

Bhajji really can be frustrating. He is either very good or complete trash. With spinners like Mishra, Chawla and even Ashwin waiting.. I wonder how long are we going to persist with Bhajji.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
India needs to bat sensibly now and try for a first innings lead of close to 200 runs. With our batting depth, its not impossible.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
me = Arjuna ????
Yes. You may recall you were very nervous before India-Pakistan world cup, and were deciding not to watch the game. Then A_A came along and said "remember, it is only a game".
And just as Sri Krishna convinced Arjuna to do his duty and fight the Kauravas in Mahabharat, A_A managed to have you do your duty and watch the game!
By the way, hope you enjoyed the Lords Test - your first live match. Look forward to a report on your experience.

Your fears were unfortunately confirmed. {Good call, bad outcome :( }
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Dravid showing his class yet again. What a legend this man is. He has never been cherished enough because of SRT right next to him.

I think they will persist with him for his batting because his bowling is crap
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Tendulkar once again showed he is #3 behind Dravid and Laxman. Laxman played very well - fluid shots before getting out. Raina looked shaky. Yuvraj was dropped - a sitter at 3rd slip off the unlucky Broad.
Dravid - the great wall.
Wife wants me to go to the market with her. Trying to stall. Can someone tell her this is too interesting to walk away from :(
Re: India Tour of England 2011
India 258/4
Good, potentially game-changing partnership (119*) between Dravid 113* (his 34th test ton) and Yuvraj Singh 56*
Dravid averages 73.19 in 11 tests in England - Runs 1171, 100s 5
Tendulkar averages 56.83 in 15 tests in England - Runs 1364, 100s 4
Is Dravid better than Sachin in English conditions? Well that is the debate on Test Match Special, BBC this evening.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
I'm not sure if Srisanth is in the squad but he can bowl wicket taking deliveries. How could you not play Yuvraj is beyond me. The little god should make way for Yuvraj or Kohli.
chew on this!
