Mariyam Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 India. Always. Even when we are losing. Even when we are not playing cricket. Link to comment
VRV Singh Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Sorry, I am not a hater but I can't see how they've been silenced at all. Strange England tactics fuelled this innings. Strauss' aversion to pace at both ends way before the new ball was captaincy without logic. We all know how Yuvi can dominate spin and drive well, but earlier on he was same old fishing at anything outside off, should've been out and eventually was unsurprisingly fishing at one. Important runs but he was let off the hook compared to those before him. Link to comment
Serani Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Probably best english series since 05 ashes, couldnt watch today because I had a game but I saw Broad wrap up india when we were taking tea, was quality. Link to comment
Serani Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 James Taylor or Ben Stokes are two guys that will take Morgans spot soon, both quality proven first class players. Would like Stokes to take over because he is a beast. Link to comment
darkknight Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Eng will never play Bopara, cuz he has Indian roots. Bloody racists. They chucked Monty as well and now he's not even allowed to bowl to Sachin in nets. Link to comment
Serani Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I hope your joking because england has to be the most tolerant and accepting selection policy ever. We have probably had more black cricketers than South Africa :giggle: Oh and Bopara and Monty are not good enough for this side. Link to comment

We have probably had more black cricketers than South Africa :giggle: Oh and Bopara and Monty are not good enough for this side. Eng is choking on too many quality resources. Hope it won't die in near future, once these unwanted players defect to IPL/Big bash/SLPL(If this gets going in, say 5yrs time). Link to comment
crics Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 England would score something between 250-275. Link to comment
darkknight Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Sorry, if i want to predict, i will rather predict Euromillion. India will win this match in the end (on Day 4) Link to comment
zep1706 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 India need to win this match, to make it a good series. It's been an exciting test series so far and if England manage to edge past here there won't be much left to look forward to. Don't want the most talked about series in recent times to go that way. Also I have a feeling Bhajji will come good tomorrow, otherwise he should be out of the squad for the rest of the series. Link to comment
Bumper Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Cook is a great opener & Morgan is a great no. 6. Dont dump them based on one or two failures, please. They deserve a long rope, at least two more tests. :pray::pray: Please take our sardar & give him rope as well (to hang himself!) Link to comment
Bumper Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 totally disagree. i was at the ground and yuvi scored almost all of his runs against spinners. always looked uneasy against the seamers. dont read too much into his innings Agree 100%. Taking nothing away from his innings, Yuvraj did luck out from the fact that the seamers (esp Broad & Anderson) were off the attack at that moment. That's understandable since Strauss wanted to preserve them for the new ball, but still Yuvraj was good enough to survive the odd overs & score off Swann & co. Remember spin used to be one of his weaknesses. Link to comment
veer Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 totally disagree. i was at the ground and yuvi scored almost all of his runs against spinners. always looked uneasy against the seamers. dont read too much into his innings why there were so few Indian fans in the crowd?? I was expecting much more noice from Indian fans.. Link to comment
Blue-no1 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 In fact as an Indian, I rate the current SA team a shade better than Indians, 1-1 in India, 1-1 in SA, 3-2 in ODI in SA and also beat India in WC 2011. In due course India and SA will be closely ranked as no1 and no2. England is pathetic in the Indian subcontinent and have rarely performed well there and they are not worthy no1. Even if they become No1 they may be knocked of very quickly by SA and India to #3 Link to comment
King Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 How about we enjoy the test series on its face value? I'd suggest Indian cricket fans to not get carried away by the frustrations of not being able to win over England so far. This series is living up to its expectations and there has been some great moments on the field. Ishant Sharma, Stuart Broad, Rahul Dravid, Pietersen, Praveen Kumar, Prior and Laxman to certain extent have played some top cricket. But for those moments the series would have been pretty dull. Why not push the frustration out of the door and enjoy the series with no tags attached? This is turning out to be way better series than the ones India have played recently. Link to comment
Serani Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Id rather wipe the floor with India in dull uncompetitive tests and im certain you lot would want the opposite. Its all nice watching good cricket but I want wins at any cost. Link to comment
