Fraser Fyvie Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not half, strangely India seemed to lose a bit of momentum after the long delay when the two Kiwis just about killed each other. Yeah, that looked nasty. Gutted for all those fans though, they live and breath cricket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, that looked nasty. Gutted for all those fans though, they live and breath cricket. Both McCullum and Mills have no serious damage, just bruises and grazes. I thought Mills might have had a broken cheekbone, certainly he had a stoater of a black eye. The players never heard each other shouting for it due to the crowd noise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Englands batting is getting immolated. That their tournament done and dusted by the look of it. Maybe they should try chopping and changing their team, cos that works 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Windies just thundered 205 against Oz. Gale thumping 75 from 41. Amazing batting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Imagine if Gayle had actually taken most of the strike, they could have got about 250. I love watching the guy, he genuinely doesn't give a f**k. His twitter account is good value as well at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Had to go out with Windies at 14-2 after 5.5 overs just as Gayle was dismissed. They've been my team ever since the summer of '76 delighted to see they turned it around - Championeeeeeeeees! Oh & Tony Greig it may be 36 years but GIRFUY!

btb Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 India 303/4 after 86 overs with Swann taking all 4 wickets and bowling 30+ overs on the first day - my guess is he'll have pretty sore fingers by the end of this series. Pretty average stuff from Englands seamers a combined 173/0 from 40 overs and Cook unwilling to risk taking the new ball. Oooops it seems they're going to risk it for the last 4 overs now India appear to have pretty much settled for going in 4-down. I await the ruturn of the prodigal.............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook's had a pretty good game. Fairly obvious that Panesar should be in the team. India's day, but England have come back into it. An excellent day's play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent day's play. Given his options he did reasonably well, I was just saying not taking the new ball straight away shows a lack of trust in the seamers who went at 4.3 runs per over earlier in the day - arguably he made the correct decision but you can't deny it was safety first. It's all very well saying Panaser should be the second spinner but unless England can get close to 400 when it's their turn to bat I can't see him getting into the Test team. As it turned India scored 20 runs off the final four overs almost as many as they'd scored in the 10 prior to this - unless England's seamers run through India's lower & middle orders pretty quickly I see Swann having another long bowl tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, he bowled beautifully today. He had little support from the other end though... Panesar would have at least caused more difficulties than old fatty Patel (even though he's lost a tonne of weight, he's in disgraceful shape for professional, international cricket). Indian pitches very rarely offer anything to the quicks. But as Hussein was saying, clearly England are uncomfortable with the two fast, two spin bowling set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 So, India declare at 521-8. England's day, on balance, I like Cook's imaginative captaincy. Already showing he's more daring than Strauss, who was often conservative. Now to see how England bat. This will either be a timid draw or a thrashing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm I thought rather differently, India got the 500+ they wanted and time to give England an uncomfortable hour before the end of play. Still with Anderson out as nightwatchman it means England bat right down to No. 11 and they might need to - could Swann go 5 better than Tino Best at Edgbaston in the summer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought once again that for all England's posturing about how they can handle spin they failed to prove that was actually the case once they started batting. Putting in a night watchman was shambolic at best and Trott looked like he was shitting himself from the off. It was no surprise after several little prods at the ball that he got caught. Pietersen wil at least try and hit the ball away and if he can start scoring even a few ones and twos and finding gaps then he should force India to move a couple of close fielders out a bit and ease some of the pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
