Now Hoggard is in hospital!!

[Chandan]

Link So what will England's attack be, if Hoggard is ruled out? Sidebottom, Anderson Broad Monty ???

[suma25]

what other bowlers do they have for back up.....? they should have called up onions as well.he did pretty well against us in the warm ups... this is dissapointing...if india go to win this match and thats a big 'if" they will say it was against weaker english side...

[Predator_05]

If that is the case, then India should play out of their skins to win this test. They won't be facing such a weak bowling attack in the next 3 tests so this is their best possible chance to win a test and start 0-1 up. This is a second-sting bowling attack, FFS.

Chris Tremlett is in the squad already.

I think it's going to be a futile exercise following this test match. With the flat deck at Lords and London weather at it's best it looks like a draw to me.

[coffee_rules]

Indians with a similar attack in WI 2002 lost the series. So, one can never guess how Indians will perform on the road. OTOH, Lord's might be a road. :haha:

[kumble_rocks]

^ very true. England attack lacks the bite to get 20 wickets in this pitch.

You can sense Shwetabh getting optimistic, can't you? A couple of days ago, he had completely written off India. Now he thinks it'll be a bore draw. Hey, that's progress!:hysterical:

Yeah, a glance at the previous tests at Lords and at the weather forecast has changed something inside me.:hysterical:

Kisi ne supaari diya hai kya? Almost all the first string English bowlers are down with injuries!

Nahin, English bowlers are getting inspired by NZ players and Munaf Patel.

Second string attack or third string or whatever! India will have to take 20 wickets to win a match. And I doubt that Indian bowlers can take 20 wickets!
