Asked if the match could be considered as good as over for England, Sehwag said, "England are not Bangladesh. They are a good side. Their batsmen would not throw away their wickets. We would like to bat till tea (tomorrow). The wicket will turn tomorrow. There is some help for the spinners. But the bowler needs to be patient," he insisted. :hysterical:

Discipline, Sehwag style There will be those who will still pick holes in Virender Sehwag's opening-day hundred, but he could not have done much more to make up for a two-year century drought and set the tone for the series This was a slow and low pitch difficult to take wickets on - definitely not one where spinners can hit batsmen in the ribs - but it was also a pitch difficult to score fast on. India would need all the time and scoreboard pressure to take wickets here, and it is Sehwag who has provided them that without even stretching himself. The other feature of the innings was his shot selection. He didn't go slashing after everything, nor did he leave the crease even once against the spinners. Too often when it becomes, or looks easy, he tries adventure, almost as if fighting boredom. Today it was all determination. He batted like a batsman should after two years without a century. Don't go by his strike-rate; it misleads. This was an innings of discipline, of opportunistic discipline. There were quite a few overs in the morning session when the bowlers would bowl accurately to him, giving him neither driving length nor cutting room. And he would block and block and block, only to pounce on the first sight of width. Stuart Broad discovered that before lunch after an over full of shortish deliveries that shaped back in. And when he provided slight width with the last ball, he was cut away for four.

Both Sehwag and Swann suggesting that this pitch is NOT a turner.

Both batsmen and bowler need patience on this pitch. Cook and Trott would be key in this match.

Was wondering about this other that why don't out of touch cricketers watch their old videos and amend their faults in the game.

If KP decides to show up England have a chance to win actually.
KP isn't that good of a player of spin he is a decent player. He is usually judged as a good player of spin because he is compared with his other team mates and low bounce is something that he isn't really good at.
