***Official*** England in India

[Daemon]

That looked out

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This could be a painful month for the English.

Only could be?

Bell should **** off home on nappy duty and not bother returning after that.

 

[duffer]

how can bell's teammates trust him now

Heh. Cracking fade from him.

 

[Neil Pickup]

What the **** was that?!

Memories of Geraint Jones at TB in 05. Heinous.

I want my sleep back.

Zak looking good for lbw wicket....

 

[silentstriker]

Hahaha, this is astonishing. Anyone still think the English troubles in the SC aren't mostly mental?

 

[Contra]

Been a good 2 minutes and I'm still laughing hard, probably the last thing you would expect is to go down the track ball 1

gotta keep up the pressure, Cook's done well to survive but he's not able to rotate the strike which piles on the pressure.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Can't recall 10 overs in the opening half hour of play before. Could get over 100 in today as I presume the pace men will only get the odd over.

That would require England to last 100 overs.

 

[Pup Clarke]

So wish I was listening to TMS at the time - just for Boycott's reaction.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Cook lucky to get away with that. That was plumb.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That looked out

Sky reckon it was one that only clipped leg so would have stayed onfield if DRS was available.

 

[abmk]

LOL @ bell ......

excellent bowling from India maintaining the pressure all the way through so far ....

the cook lbw shout off the last ball of ojha's over was a pretty good one ....... could have gone the other way on another day !

 

[Cruxdude]

Hahaha, this is astonishing. Anyone still think the English troubles in the SC aren't mostly mental?

I think it is mostly technical. Lack of confidence in their defensive technique causing these weird shots.

My assumption would be that he doesn't want to rotate the strike because that would require the imbecile at the other end to face the bowling.

 

[silentstriker]

The only person I've seen get out like that was Sehwag. But Bell doesn't have Sehwag's excuse of always batting that fast.

Bell cannot possibly be in the squad for the next Test, can he?

Still, that shot was so glorious. I can't wait until my month is up - that's going to be my new avatar.

 

[Johnners]

Bell, wag

yea 50/50 that one.

 

[Pup Clarke]

And KP's "shot" was just car-crash - obviously having trouble with the 80kph straight ball.

didnt look out real time to me

Ian Bell, what a guy
