Ram Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Many posters make claims about who is the best and what is going to happen. Sometimes they are right , many times they are wrong.But I now realize that there is nothing wrong about it. Even the guys who have played the game for so long cant get it right. Remember , first test , first day , some of the comments made against the Indian bowling by the english commentators+Holding ? Holding said India " lacked someone like Jerome Taylor who could induce fear into the batting line-up" , while just 50 overs into the innings , Atherton started talking about how " India is missing Munaf Patel" . It was Nasser Hussein however , who made the most boldest comment. He vociferously proclaimed that " He would rather face the Indian bowling than the West India bowling right now". All of them , i hope , would be having a re-think of their stand. England didnt cross 300 in the first test match and it looks as though its going to be the same here too. The Windies bowlers were disdainfully wacked around for mammoth scores by all and sundry of the english batting line-up , now followed by a change in fortunes. Matt Prior has been shown his place in intnl cricket by the Indians. Oh well , how people keep embarrassing themselves by making ridiculous statements ! Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i want India to win the next two test so even if english want to count the first test as a win for themselves even in there books we would have won 2-1. Link to comment

observer1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 They hunt as a pack - each trying to be more jingoistic than the other. The only sane person there is David Gower, followed by Atherton. It is so much easier on the ear to mute the TV and follow the audio on TMS Link to comment
King Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Gower had been behind Ravi Shastri over the last few days as Ravi Shastri said he backs India to win the test series. Gower almost had been asking Ravi Shastri if he still believes so and Shastri has continued to say he does believe India are up there with England. Yesterday was the only day Gower didn't question Ravi Shastri's call :P Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Mistakes my ar#e. They are simply bias and love putting india down with stupid sterotypes. They are struggling this morning as the script they have written has been wripped up. No they are making a big deal about toss and favourable conditions. They hardly mentioned this at Lords when they won a big toss. Someone should tell them they have not won a test series against india in over a decade! Link to comment
