England In India - October 2011/12

[iridescentt]

My nana could've caught both of those any day.

Absoutely awful from the slips. Dirty.

 

[Ollie_H]

Hopefully it won't be the last time I say this, this summer but England are all over India in the last few overs.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Broad is no longer the Enforcer, but a whole lot more effective.

 

[Cricketman]

What a terrible shot from Laxman.

Time for Multi-Task Sing Dhoni.

Or Raina

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Terrible shot from Laxman. Just hope for a save on Follow On

----------

Laxman's scores in the first Test of his last three series - 7, 8, 12, 0, 10 - Centurion, Jamaica and Lord's

Raina out !!!

[ZoraxDoom]

Raina, with the weakness to the short ball, swinging ball, pure pace...choses to fall LBW to Swann. Lovely.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

yeah, so I'm asking again, why is Raina in the side?

the rest can go back to the pavillion for all I care but I'm gutted I won't be seeing laxman bat when I get home.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I want Kohli back. MSD won't have to bowl and he'd probably score more runs :/

Although we should give Raina more chances.

Now that's tea. Time for Dravid and MSD to pull off a small miracle. Another century from Bhajji would be nice too.

 

[SaiSrini]

Is it me or does Rahul Dravid have one of the worst batting techniques in this game?

It works for him, thanks to his fantastic hand-eye co-ordination, but it isn't technically very good at all.

Oh god. Never thought I would hear something like this EVER!

India in danger for a follow-on. Although I feel England might not enforce (the ghost of 2001 wont let teams enforce follow-ons easily against India) but there is a good chance India might fold up here giving a lead of 200+. Sad that no one has gone on to make a big score (Dravid looks good for it but he needs partners)

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Dravid has been playing at too many deliveries wide off his offstump...but generally he's been himself and has looked quite good.

 

[Haarithan]

@Lewis: Dravid may not be the most entertaining of cricketers, but to question his technique is next to being ridiculous.

 

[Aalay]

And I thought English fans knows the game of Cricket.

 

[akshay12]

it seems that the best way to get in form for a player(even though temporarily) has become is playing against india.for eg:in the previous series ramnaresh sarwan(odis) and shivnarine chanderpaul and now KP and broad
