coffee_rules Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 ????? why Jordan for clouderson? Cloudy gets a 2-match ban for some dhakka-dena!
brendan07 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I don't think Warne or Holding follow county cricket. So that's understandable. But after the kind of criticism that Trent Bridge received' date=' no pitch will be absolute roads, unless England win the next two tests and want a draw in the final one. So they will definitely keep some grass ans moisture on it.[/quote'] Honestly as stupid as this seems it would be better to produce a turner, not as if Jadeja is great and whilst Ali isn't fantastic at least they are on a similar playing field...you produce a greentop, India are better, you produce a flat one India have better bats...
zep1706 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Some recent County results (2014) http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692955.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692939.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692923.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692903.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692709.html Pretty good actually. There is only one dull draw out of 4.
adi B Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 it'll be like one of the semi flat nzl wkt where batting maybe bit difficult on day 1,2
BlueBee Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Pretty good actually. There is only one dull draw out of 4. Yep seems to be a good test pitch.
Old guy Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Pretty good actually. There is only one dull draw out of 4. Most low scores in third and forth inning so maybe helping spinners
brendan07 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 On the positive I had a rather drunk bet on Ishant MOTM before today lol....go Ishant lol (and yes my head is killing me)
brendan07 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Most low scores in third and forth inning so maybe helping spinners LOL that is great go Sir, Kerrigan and Ali who couldn't turn it an inch!:hysterical:

That is a stupid suggestion. They don't have even one decent spinner and you are asking them to produce a turning track? :haha: The best bet for England is to prepare normal English wicket, with a bit of grass.
SLICKR392 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Most low scores in third and forth inning so maybe helping spinners And it seems Day 1 isn't the easiest day to bat either.
zep1706 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 And it seems Day 1 isn't the easiest day to bat either. Warne was spot on in his analysis. it helps the seamers early on, then flattens out and helps the spinners later on.
Old guy Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 And it seems Day 1 isn't the easiest day to bat either. I have trust in vijay and puji ...
Stuge Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 They are not so brave to present this type of pitch. I bet it's gonna be a flatbed. They have to prepare pitch which helps them. They don't have any other way .
Old guy Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 LOL that is great go Sir' date=' Kerrigan and Ali who couldn't turn it an inch!:hysterical:[/quote'] So drop Binny and play ashwin :--D
Laaloo Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Lords was not even a bouncy pitch lol. Even on this pitch they got bounced out by Ishant sharma.. They are mentally fragile rightnow. So even slight help on the surface will put more doubts. But at the same time they were fined 16000 $ for Trent Bridge pitch. So nice conundrum for England from indian perspective. Can't prepare turners as India has better spinners. They don't have Swann. Can't prepare bouncy wicket.. as they got owned by bouncer. Can't prepare swing and seam Bhuvan will be in business. Cant win the toss and bat first - they will get rolled out cant win the toss and field first either - cant bowl them out on the first day

They actually have played their best recently on turners, actually suits their batting especially Root, Bell, and Cook. A normal English wicket..Bhuvi will run through them!
Old guy Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 They actually have played their best recently on turners' date=' actually suits their batting especially Root, Bell, and Cook. A normal English wicket..Bhuvi will run through them![/quote'] You have to understand they did that against Australia but giving turner to this Indian side will be suicide and they had swann back then :giggle:

A normal English wicket..Bhuvi will run through them![/quote'] That's because they had Swann. Anderson and Broad bowled poorly on day 1. They are capable of correcting that. In fact they bowled pretty well in the second inning until the Jadeja blitz. Had they bowled the same line and length in the first innings India (or any side for that matter) would have rolled over under 200 on that pitch. So they are capable of bowling well in English conditions lol.
