Trent Bridge Test, 2011 : Day by day prediction and discussion

[fineleg]

Having said that, lets hope to see a repeat of Durban, that will give us goosebumps if we can beat England at Trent Bridge.

Team India :isalute: - giddy up and beat the Eng-Afr-Ire Team

[kabira]

merge with cricketicz thread? same theme to the OP? Bounce back and beat the land-o-sherlock holmes. All the jingoism apart - this is a very tough situation without ZK, Sehwag and half-fit Gambhir. The lone spinner is determined to throw darts, and MS Dhoni's batting has lost its way. Are they going to drop the dart hurler and go with no-ball Mishra or erratic-Sreesanth? So, many things need to fall in place. India has taken this series (preparation for the series) too lightly, and hence under cooked.

With all due respect, if we were fully prepared and even 1 up in the series with all the guys full fit you would said something opposite like India seems over confident, they will be complacent and its trent bridge, our batters willl struggle, blah blah things..so I think no one cares what you think anyways. :--D:--D:--D:haha::haha::haha:

[Late Cut]

Guarenteed win for India.

He is back

I think MSD himself should bat at # 3. Raina has got comfortable with his batting position, so keep him at 6 and Yuvraj at 7.

The myster is over people. Sachin's 100th century is coming at Trent Bridge also leveling the Series for India.

It is Sherlock Holmes vs Karam Chand....Looks like some of our Karam Chands need to go on a carrot diet to shed some pounds and look healthier

Since Gambo is unlikely to play, I'd prefer if Sachin was moved up the order so that Dravid can retain his #3 spot. That said though, I think MSD is batting too low down. The good news (apparently) is that Sehwag MAY be able to play in the 3rd Test if he recuperates a 100%, and it's being said he's doing well so far. Then again the source is TOI, so I wouldn't light up the fireworks just yet.

Sachin will never move from #4 in normal circumstance. The others may shuffle around him, but it's a fixed spot for Sachin.

My team: 1.Mukund 2.Yuvraj 3.Dravid 4.Tendulkar 5.Laxman 6.Raina 7.Dhoni 8.Munaf 9.Sreesanth 10.Ishant 11.Praveen

X1, considering the unfits: - Mukund - Dravid - Laxman - Tendu - Raina - Yuvi - Dhoni - PK - Ishant - Sree - Munaf / Mishra PS GG seems to be available so not as bad as I initially thought

Putting Laxman ahead of Sachin is harakiri imo. I also don't think Dravid should open, but it's not like we're spoilt for choice anyway. As if Zak and Viru's absence wasn't enough, we now have to deal with missing out on yet another opener in Gambhir (as of now, he's not available). If we manage to win or even draw this Test, it'll be a testament to our ability to grit our way through what seems (increasingly) like a voodoo curse gone berserk.

There is nothing to whine about.If one player is injured ,the indian team must be capable of replacing him.It is not as if one player is indispensible.We may not find a replacement for Tendulkar when the big three retire but we can certainly find a replacement for Dravid or Laxman cause' they are not once in a lifetime players like Tendulkar.Everyone says Ganguly is a great player but we are not feeling his absence because Suresh Raina is performing as good as him.

I don't know what is the problem with you people. After repeated warnings you keep attacking the poster instead of replying to the point he is making. If this continues I am going to lock this thread.

wobblydoggy trolls a lot and that is why he gets the responses he gets.
