cowboysfan Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 The English commentators seem to be satisfied with the situation' date=' from the England point of view, keep saying that the bowlers have done their job keeping the run rate below 3 an over. They don't understand, for India this situation is beyond respectable! Recent India record in England has been so poor, I would have been mildly happy with a 260-270 all out. I can't believe we have lost just 4 wickets.[/quote'] This can still happen,vijay is batting with the tail.
Bleed-Blue Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 We can't even bat England out of the game because ever dependable bowling will not permit that
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Props for Dhoni. This is an inexperienced line up. They are always a collapse away. So did well to prevent any collapse. same with pujara and rahane. they held up atleast and pujara scored at a decent rate
kubrickian Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Good day for India. Lost 2 wickets after lunch but scoring 259 for the loss of only 4 wickets is a good effort. Not a bad day for England as well because they didnt let India get away with the run rate on a flat pitch. First session will be important tomorrow.
Yoda-esque Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni scored a 50,ICF seems sad.. Dont worry,New Ball again tomorrow...Keep your hopes up..
SLICKR392 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Good day for India...although no team can claim the day as theirs. India did will on day 1 of this 5 test series. Lets hope India continues on..& gets a big total now...although getting over 300 should be their target no 1 India did well to comeback after lunch. None of the top 5 have ever played in England and 2 hacks at 7 & 8.
putrevus Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Binny is expected to be more liike Angelo .. Angelo Mathews was leading scorer for SL in the series and scored 2 100s, can binny do that ?
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 dhoni needs to continue. jadeja and binny should bat using his example. apply yourself and you can score runs.
rkt.india Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I remember India did get flat pitches in 2011 as well lol. But our seniors effed up except Dravid. Tentbridge was a green track in 2011, good pace and bounce. England were 100 odd for 8 once before Broad slogged some.
SLICKR392 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni on course for his ton.looks determined.well played Mooli :hatsoff: Played positively. That's how his approach should be in Test.
SLICKR392 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Tentbridge was a green track in 2011' date=' good pace and bounce. England were 100 odd for 8 once before Broad slogged some.[/quote'] That 700 runs pitch was flat. Almost all the wickets in Australia were flat too.
Bleed-Blue Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni scored a 50,ICF seems sad.. Dont worry,New Ball again tomorrow...Keep your hopes up.. Sad? I dont think so more relieved Anyway,First overseas hundred coming up :om:
Laaloo Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni scored a 50,ICF seems sad.. Dont worry,New Ball again tomorrow...Keep your hopes up.. Who is sad here?
vvvslaxman Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Tentbridge was a green track in 2011' date=' good pace and bounce. England were 100 odd for 8 once before Broad slogged some.[/quote'] What about conditions in other grouns where we failed to cross 300 in any of the match. So you need application abroad regardless of pitch state.
FischerTal Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni scored a 50,ICF seems sad.. Dont worry,New Ball again tomorrow...Keep your hopes up.. Weather will be more important
zep1706 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 India slightly ahead after day 1. The first hour tomorrow will be crucial. If these two can see off the new ball in the morning, India should get to 400, which is a good first innings score here. But early wickets would bring England right back in the game.
putrevus Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dhoni scored a 50,ICF seems sad.. Dont worry,New Ball again tomorrow...Keep your hopes up.. Dhoni is batting at no6 remember that and why would anyone here be sad if he scores, the main complaint against dhoni is he never scores?
putrevus Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Pujara missed out on a sure 100 he was looking so good.
TheTruth Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If Dhoni (Dhobi?) manages to stay in until lunch tomorrow we will be in great shape. The pitch will start to cause problems from day 3. A main concern is the weather forecast for tomorrow isn't good.
