Pitch at Ageas Bowl?

[Old guy]

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.

But will they win toss every time ? And will out best batters fail every time ?they look in decent form too

They won't have Anderson, so you really think Broad, Jordan/some spud, Plunkett can bowl teams out...fair dinkum, not happening. I know they had Swann, that is their best chance though, a low spinning pitch.

[vvvslaxman]

They are out of nick as a whole team. So surfaces hardly matter.

England's only option now is green track. On a flat deck with the batting line up India have they can easily draw the game. Being 1 down on the series England will try to rejuvinate with a green track.

They won't have Anderson' date=' so you really think Broad, Jordan/some spud, Plunkett can bowl teams out...fair dinkum, not happening. I know they had Swann, that is their best chance though, a low spinning pitch.[/quote'] At best they would be able to draw the test match on low, slow turner. That's not what they want after going down 0-1 in the series.

????? why Jordan for clouderson?

Whoever comes in is irrelevant.Anderson won't be there,he'll be banned for 2 tests.

[Old guy]

Whoever comes in is irrelevant.Anderson won't be there' date='he'll be banned for 2 tests.[/quote'] How do you know he will b banned ?

[vvvslaxman]

Whoever comes in is irrelevant.Anderson won't be there' date='he'll be banned for 2 tests.[/quote'] Actually he will survive the whole series. If they serve a ban, he can appeal. By the time all the process is over series will be over.

[ShebbySB]

How do you know he will b banned ?

:giggle: Wait for tomorrow u'll know :haha:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/cricket/englands-jimmy-anderson-faces-ban-3866392 Not official though?

Thought so, would be ridiculous otherwise.

[ShebbySB]

Ingerland is officially f*****d up :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Invite them for a test series in India after this one is over. :giggle:

[zep1706]

Thought so' date=' would be ridiculous otherwise.[/quote'] Personally I am of the opinion that he should be allowed to keep playing during that period. That makes more sense to me. What if he gets cleared by the higher authority of all charges, then his punishment of not being able to play during that period would be unfair, no?

[zep1706]

It also depends on the level of charges though. Someone accused of match fixing should not play the game until he gets a clean chit. I guess similarly level 3 is considered to be a very serious offense, that's why the rules.

[gattaca]

Their is no video of the incident. The Trent bridge ground has a camera near the area where jaddu got pushed by anderson but they are saying its not functional and we believe that. ECB is definitely hiding something.

[Straight Drive]

Anyone who is keenly following the County games this season?

Full of runs is this venue. Bell loves to bat here. Plays for Warwickshire and knows this as well as anyone else. Good for him he gets to bat here when he is struggling for runs.
