***Official*** England in India

Some minefield this looks now doesn't it?

Makes our pathetic first innings effort even more frustrating. India need to just hang in and wait as they know we will self destruct eventually.
india's not had the momentum ever since the prior bresnan partnership. not bowling with the same venom.

edges not carrying.

pitch hasn't thus far broken as much as it should've and to make matters worse for india, it has slowed down.
reckon england may score big this innings
looking very good
England certainly won't score big because it seems so hard for new batsmen, or at least the new English batsmen. These are probably England's best accumulators at the moment, with Trott out of form, and the middle order are hardly going to be confident.

heck...calling out somebody for not batting well (or not reasonably well, although he is getting better by the hour) now becomes trolling?
That's not what you said. You said you made the post the second time to hit home. That's the absolute definitely of trolling, frankly, and you admitted it ffs :laugh:

Lets not pretend you came in here and said he was batting ****, either. What you said was completely different.

On the "sons/grandsons of test players in the same team" thing; obviously Alec Stewart & Mark Butcher must've together a fair bit and must've both played with Dean Headley at least once, so there's another threesome.

Did think about Ealham too, but his dad didn't play tests, if memory serves.

Compton finding more gaps now and rotating the strike better. Always helps, better than just staying there and doing bugger all anyway. Decent start now, long long long way to go though.

another pathetic umpiring decision by aleem dar today. perhaps the worst one of the day.

if players appeal like that, then you know it's most likely out! that should be a hint for the umpires.
