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

[cowboysfan]

lol,alll they need is about 220.sachin,dhoni and tailenders are absolute walking wickets right now and mukund is a novice who is total hit and miss.

[urbestfriend]

Sunny was saying chasing even 150 is difficult in 4th/5th day pitch....Series is doomed and #1 ranking too :((

[veer]

ahhhh.. yuvi should have stayed that for bit longer.. that was a wide delievry.. dhoni's lack of technique is making him a walking wicket..

[Kookabura]

We don't have a lower order. 200 target would be competitive against us here.

[Alchemist]

I missed my prediction by 10 runs.

If England does win then they deserve to be the No 1 side

We are doomed in this series Here is the glass half empty view - We have a long tail starting at 5. Even in the top order, SRT is out of form, UV/Raina/Mukund can average only 30 per innings. When GG and Shewag comes back, they are not going to be any better coming from injury. We pretty much depend on two out of 11 to bat. That's a recipe for failure. I would be surprised if we ever cross 300. Our only hopes lies with our bowling, when Zak comes back. Even there we have an out of form Bhajji occupying a spot. :sigh:

[Ramzz]

We have to deal with what we have. I agree that the lower order has not performed...we just need one break.

[nballa]

actually what you said is an half empty view. half full is an optimistic view.

[Cricketics]

Poor theory. Ominous signs actually Dravid scoring consistently. Sachin, just about there. Raina has scored some runs already, Yuvraj scored in his first innings. AND GAMBHIR-SEHWAG most likely shall be back in next game. PROBLEMS OF PLENTY FOR ENGLAND.

Right, thanks. Corrected.

Pretenders this series has separated the pretenders from guys who are willing to work it out in tough conditions.Broad has come back strong from a bad series to be a game changer and Dravid and laxman are their usual self.our bowlers have shown some fight in them but it was unfortunate that we lost zak in the first game and bhajji has turned into a noose around our team.

SRT's average is 20 and he is not looking comfortable in there.

bhajji has turned into a noose around our team.

And Dhoni too. These 2 have never had their spots in the playing XI threatened, and that's exactly what they need now.

If I say Chin Chin Hildulkar is turning out to be another pretender (in this series), would I be flamed for that?

[vvvslaxman]

Tendulkar is in a position where he simply cannot have two bad tests on the trot. His failure looks much bigger because of absence of two top order players. With Tendulkar it is just a rough patch. With Dhoni it is not a rough patch. It is sheer inability. Rough patch is easier to overcome than sheer inability.

the guy takes 'rests' from tours at will, and comes into important series without proper match practice. and who has to pay for all this ultimately?

[Cricketics]

Even half of the series not over yet. Why are we being so anti-dhoni here. Come on folks. chill man
