India vs England 2012

[Desi Cartman]

Just changed the title :P

[jairamesh]

100 opening partnership, thought would never see it again with these two

[Prakat]

Thanks Desi! Let's hope these two give another reason to change the title! :D

Actually England don't do anything to engineer pitches to favour their bowlers. Edgebaston, Oval, Lords, Headingly are as flat as anything. It's just there's usually alot of cloudcover meaning Broad/Anderson/Bresnan can swing it a mile.

Yea - how about cricket balls?

Beware the mistake of saying "O it will be a draw based on day 1" You here it all the time in India matches from all and sundry. Day 1 and 2 runs are flowing and straight away everyone saying it will be draw it s just too flat etc etc So many times it changes and the match can change in a session and then victroy and a result is gained in day 5. In fact this happens all over world but always for some reason in India all are quick to mistakenly say it will be a draw. By the way this is brand new pitch laid with less clay content so it does not hold as good together.

This pitch is already offering help to spinners. I will become difficult to bat as the match progresses.

[SLICKR392]

That ball which dismissed Viru turned big time.

[King Tendulkar]

And 1st ball to sachin turned big. If we can get to 450. We will win England as dopey as ever not picking Monty

[SLICKR392]

Biggest worry is England will be chasing if they make it that far. 4th Day this will be a square turner.

[Crookbond]

In India, Time of the innings is inversely proportional to the Day of the Test match. In England, Australia, South Africa it is the other way round.

[Prakat]

I smell laloo :hmmm:

[Crookbond]

Now, the Poms will say this is a great pitch because Swann has now landed up with 4 wickets. :giggle:

[Trichromatic]

72 runs in 32 overs and 3 wickets. Pitch isn't that flat?

[indiaregulator]

Swing! Get Jimmy On!

[Tendulkar_Bhai]

Great start by Sehwag and GG we have already forgotten the past 12 months! Pujara will dominate world cricket for the next 15yrs.

[Sidhoni]

Sehwag is back in form and how! Not too sure about Gambhir though. He just can't get rid of the cut.
