India vs England 2012

[EnterTheVoid]

Total destruction of England coming up!!!! We are after revenge and the boys smell blood. England will crumble on crumbling tracks, they will start in fighting as wolloping unfolds. India are going to massacre them, can feel it in my bones!

What do you feel in your bones now? :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

[The Outsider]

VVS shouldn't have retired. Here we have our own version of Boom Booms like Raina and Yuvraj playing in his place. It's like retiring a pilot because he is old and putting a monkey in his seat.

:hysterical::hysterical: Both retired at the right time. It's the fault of the selectors who are putting monkeys in the seat, when there are humans available.

[EnterTheVoid]

[King Tendulkar]

^ You seem too happy aussie when ever inda lose. Its obvious the joy you get when we lose, thats fair enough cos you are aussie fan. But dont pretend like finey that you support india though, have some integrity in that dept

[EnterTheVoid]

You still don't get it, do you? There is a difference between being realistic in one's expectations and being completely delusional and jumping to conclusions at the drop of a hat - You seem to fit in the second department. You will have more respect if you gave credit to the opposition instead of posting attention seeking crap.

The big performances came from England: Dhoni

While he admitted that his spinners could have bowled better on a surface that was just what he had asked for, Dhoni preferred to compliment Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen and Alastair Cook for their game-changing contributions. Monty bowled very well, he was different from all the bowlers, said Dhoni, after India lost just a seventh home Test since the famous series win against Steve Waugh Australians in 2001. All the other bowlers were getting a bit of turn and bounce. But Monty was bowling at real pace, close to 90 to 95 km/hr, and he was able to get some turn. He had a big impact on the game. If you compare to the other bowlers, they also got wickets but they never bothered the batsmen as much as Monty did. So credit goes to him. Pujara batted really well from our side. Pietersen and Cook batted really well. They batted really well off the back foot. Our length could have been a bit fuller, and asked them to drive a bit more. There were no excuses or complaints about the pitch, which played exactly as he had hoped it would. I think this was a very good wicket, said Dhoni. In India or in the subcontinent, matches should happen on these kind of wickets because it takes the toss out of the equation. The ball was turning from the first day itself so both teams have an equal chance, reducing the impact of the toss. Whichever team plays better cricket wins the game. The manner of the defeat, with England spinners accounting for 19 wickets the first time that has happened in more than half a century didn't alter his view. What's the point in playing on flat pitches, trying to win the toss and bat for three or four days over the Test match?Asked Dhoni. You want to face challenges in Test cricket, and these are the sort of tracks that push you. You may see individuals coming up with big performances and in this game, they came from the English side. We have to start fresh in every game. When it comes to the Indian batting and bowling departments, we have got experience and youngsters who will do well. When it was put to him that England slow bowlers had sussed out the pitch and the pace to bowl on it far better, Dhoni said it came down to a question of style and methods that individuals were used to. You also try to bowl fast but we didn't get the same kind of purchase out of the wicket as Monty, he said. It's the same as two different batsmen who do well in different conditions. I felt what we could have done slightly better was to make them drive a bit more than we did. If you bowl short on a wicket that has bounce, batsmen get more time. Dhoni said the Indians would adapt and 'innovate' in the forthcoming games. Apart from Cook and Pietersen, if you see both the scorecards, they are quite the same. One or two big innings, the rest is a phone number 9 8 3 5 1 something like that. It will be tough if you play on wickets like these, but that's what Test cricket is all about. He had no regrets about the decision not to recall Jonny Bairstow on the third afternoon, after he had been given out caught off Gautam Gambhir's helmet grille at silly point. "There are replays that show a batsman is lbw, he said. Why can't the opposition say, No, my batsman is out, let him come back and somebody else will go? Umpires get handsome payments, they are supposed to take some decisions." Having won at a canter in Ahmedabad, India have seen roles reversed in a week. But Dhoni, whose demeanour seldom changes regardless of victory or defeat, was not about to overreact. Youu don't chop and change players on the basis of one or two Tests, he said. We have to give them a fair run. Otherwise, you will keep changing players every game. It's always good to give players a fair amount of games together so they are also comfortable and not thinking of selection.

The TV production controllers should stop the "angrezon ka band bajayega ad" till the next victory. On Times Now, the ad was getting played and the banner at the bottom was saying "England Humiliates India" :cantstop:

[Trichromatic]

Worst performance by top order since 2000 For no 2 to no 7 Indian batsmen scored 44 runs which is lowest for India in last 12 years. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?batting_positionmax1=7;batting_positionmin1=2;batting_positionval1=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;groupby=innings;orderby=runs;orderbyad=reverse;qualmin1=6;qualval1=innings;spanmin1=01+jan+2000;spanval1=span;team=6;template=results;type=batting

^ Well actually it was not a good match. We were pathetic. But dont think for a second you are now going to steam roll us. Expect a backlash in Kolkata

[coffee_rules]

The series is not over yet and it's also not lost yet. Eng is not Bangladesh to be pushovers.

[mr cricket]

Nah, they did the right thing and made way for youngsters. Sachin should follow their example.

[Sandeep99]

Silly thread IMO! Good that they retired,...waiting for Sachin now

[Rohit S. Ambani]

Dravid scored 5 centuries in 2011, YES 5!!!! Why selectors even allowed him to think about retiring. :((
