England vs India

[Fowlers God]

Ha HA Ha LFD- Broad is fucking shite!!

[lifetime fan]

The officials were poor because they didnt let the dismissal and correct decision stand,they shouldnt have let others change their decision.

They might have been brilliant regarding LBWs etc but got a very big one wrong.

 

All water under the bridge now anyway.

 

They tried to follow the laws of the game.

 

The fact England were embaressing in their actions shouldn't reflect on the officials.

[Spy Bee]

Yuvraj and Harbhajan are both out for the series. When the luck's not with you, it's not with you!

[lifetime fan]

England win the toss and chose to bowl.

 

Broad takes a wicket with his first ball.

 

Perfect conditions for bowling but England have to make the most of them as this will turn into a batters paradise out there.

 

24-1.

[Fowlers God]

Broad with a wicket with his first ball. On for man of the tournament here!!!

[Preston Red]

TENDULKAR GONE!!!

[lifetime fan]

75-4 at lunch.

 

Starting to worry we wont see a hundred hundreds this series.

[Spy Bee]

5 down. England are having a riot here!

[lifetime fan]

100-6

 

Laxman gone.

 

Dhoni on fuck all and the tail to go.

 

They'll be all out for under 125.

What's the returns policy?

[ChrisM]

What's the returns policy?

 

I believe you could buy tickets for sunday for just £10, but with no return / refund.

Not much to grumble about then.

Nelson.

[Spy Bee]

Good little counter here.

Not sure I threw me mate £20 for ticket and petrol money!!

 

Oh well will be home in an hour to watch the play after tea, Hopefully we may have a bat!!

[Indian Red]

If I had rioted and been battered outside Edgbaston, that might have been less painful than following our batting.

 

This is the 2nd test in a row where I have left home for work at one down, Mom/Dad tell me we have lost 2 more while driving and when I log in from work we are 4 down. Bloody hopeless and this against a team that is usually useless

Don't be a soft lad.

[Indian Red]

Dont get yer knickers in a twist. Maybe I should have added a :P to make it clearer.

[lifetime fan]

There is no shame in losing to the best test side in the world.

 

The way you have lost is a different matter.

[Indian Red]

Agreed. Still some way to go mind. But tis the hope that eventually kills you, they say

On this series I wouldn't have India in the top 2 test playing nations. It would depend if they wre playing the Aussies home or away if they even made the top 3.

[Indian Red]

That`s the thing though. At home we would do you and pretty much anyone else in. You might admittedly put up a better fight than our boys are currently.

 

This number 1 thing is kinda up for grabs it seems. Most of the top 4 or so teams would prolly do the others in at their gaff. I dont think we will be seeing a team as dominant as the Windies from the 70-80`s and the Aussies till a few years ago any more. Those were probably the only sides that could just about go anywhere and win.

 

The next few years will tell if anyone that grabs the number 1 spot can go to number 2/3/4 and win there. I doubt it, but time will tell I spose. We obviously couldnt.

I disagree.

 

The aussies, saffas and England either home or away would all be entertaining series' but I'd expect England to win all of them. The saffas away being the hardest but I'd still be confident.

[Indian Red]

Fair enough. I`d think different but opinions and all that...

The next Ashes are in England right? You`ll win that. The one in Aus will be tricky. I cant imagine England keeping the Ashes 4 times in a row, given recent Ashes history. I dont know how far back I`d have to go to find the last time you`d won two series in a row in Oz, if at all. I think Australia might well do you in then if you hold on to Number 1 that long.

How about at ours or even Pakistan and SL? How`d you reckon you`d do?
