Yoda-esque Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Calm down pal. This is a forum for supporting India Cricket' date=' that's what I am doing. Chill.[/quote'] Sure,let's see whether you are strong enough to stay positive.
suraj Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Lol at any hope from optimistic fans- this will be a pre-lunch time finish this team cannot bat 2 sessions let alone full day what hurts is the stupid run out and losing wkts to Ali and Root
vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Anderson to Sharma, OUT, fuller length, felt for, and a little edge behind! The batsman stands his ground but everyone else was convinced and Anderson strikes immediately. Poor stroke really, feeling a long way outside off with just a defensive stroke, that could so easily have been left. There was a hint of shape away from the bat and it was a very faint edge, as confirmed by Real Time Snicko RG Sharma c †Buttler b Anderson 6 (28b 0x4 0x6) SR: 21.42 India 112/5 AM Rahane 18* (51b 2x4) JM Anderson 8.3-3-13-1 47.2 Anderson to Dhoni, OUT, and low and behold Anderson nicks him off next ball! Almost the same delivery, Dhoni nudging awkwardly at it and getting a thick edge to Buttler's right that he takes comfortably. Another man drawn into playing where better judgement would say let that go, a little away movement proves fatal MS Dhoni c †Buttler b Anderson 6 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 54.54 India 120/6 AM Rahane 20* (63b 2x4) JM Anderson 10.2-4-19-2 60.1 Ali to Jadeja, OUT, maybe I should be punished! Jadeja has played on! Nicely tossed up and angled in on off stump, the batsman came forward, perhaps a little too much and yorked himself. In his hurry to get the bat down he gets an inside edge and deflects onto his sticks. Hitting against the turn sends him packing RA Jadeja b Ali 15 (43b 2x4 0x6) SR: 34.88 India 152/7 AM Rahane 35* (97b 4x4) MM Ali 17.1-3-50-3 60.5 Ali to Kumar, OUT, two in the over! Gets a bit of turn, a bit more bounce, certainly more than Bhuvi expected as he lunged forward to defend. Inside edge balloons off the pad and goes to Anderson at gully who dives forward and pouches it safely. How long since #OhMo starts trending? B Kumar c Anderson b Ali 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 India 152/8 AM Rahane 35* (97b 4x4) MM Ali 17.5-3-50-4 62.6 Ali to Mohammed Shami, OUT, five-for! And a what a beaut to get it! This is pitched on a good length and didn't turn too much, just enough, at Shami, who was backing away trying to defend. The momentum takes him too far away from the ball and it has a clear path to the stumps Mohammed Shami b Ali 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 India 154/9 AM Rahane 37* (106b 4x4) MM Ali 19-4-51-5 66.4 Ali to Pankaj Singh, OUT, six-for! England are in a huddle, they have ended a drought of ten Tests without a win! Again another Indian batsman plays inside the line of a Moeen offspinner, ball crashes into off stump and that's all she wrote. The five-match series is back on even ground Pankaj Singh b Ali 9 (7b 2x4 0x6) SR: 128.57 India 178/10 AM Rahane 52* (121b 7x4) MM Ali 20.4-4-67-6
zep1706 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Jeez it was even quicker than my prediction. I was expecting Rohit and Dhoni to stick around for 5 overs each. My bad. :cantstop:

JourneyMan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 suhas and JourneyMan, Thank you for doing the job of cricketics. But - can both of you please ensure that you visit this thread after lunch time on Day-5, and make a post to say Hello to us! Please! Pretty please! :D Hi. Like I said in the other thread, it's pretty disappointing that we couldn't even make it to lunch.. 10 wickets gone in less than 2 sessions. Rahane had the right strategy and mindset, and it's a pity nobody supported him. I still think Rohit, MSD, Jadeja and BK, between them, should have been able to support Rahane to the end. The bowling they faced was not threatening at all. Anyhow, they lost their wickets cheaply. 2 tests to go, we can still win the series.

SLICKR392 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 The only hope is alcohol for your guys. To drown your sorrows. Pee your fill on the Rose Bowl wicket and watch out for the hammering awaiting you cry babies in Old Trafford.
nevada Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Pathetic team, folding like a cheap tent. All the good work done in Lords undone by this spineless, gutless display.
suraj Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Pathetic team' date=' folding like a cheap tent. All the good work done in Lords undone by this spineless, gutless display.[/quote'] Agreed - awful display
Deleted_User_1 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Not really the same at all mate. We won the 2nd test at Lords. Don't remember us winning a test at all in the 2011 series. Things have changed. Be positive. Our bowling still sucks donkey's balls. However, whatever faith I had in the batting has evaporated after the poor form Kohli and Pujara are in.
Texan Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Pathetic display! In the Lords Test, England fought on the last day for almost the entire first session. With India on day 5, there is usually not even an effort to put a fight. Gifting wickets to a mediocre part time spin bowler indicates that the batsmen had already given up after the 4th day.
virufan Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah with all the injured players, we still have hope.
