***Official*** England in India

Sanjay talking about McCullum at the right time, smart guy

What about McCullum?

 

[Spark]

This is seventh time Ashwin is conceding 100 or more runs in an inngs in his 20 innings he has bowled in Tests #IndvsEng

Painful stat, that.

Looks like India have finally worked out how to bowl.

EDIT: That might be unfair. The spinners have bowled better today.

 

[Howe_zat]

So my bet on India is looking pretty good right now

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

What about McCullum?

how India got his wicket with closing fielders

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Into the lead and the 150 partnership comes up. Unreal this that I am watching England in India playing like this.

 

[Noble One]

It will be interesting how highly history will rate Cook's 2012 efforts in India.

Already amongst the greatest performances on the SC.

The Hayden and Amla series spring to mind straight away and this ranks up there though this attack probably not as good as the ones the others faced so Cook marginally below them.

 

[Spark]

Counter to that, consider the fact that he's a new captain, the team has struggled recently in the SC, team hasn't had a great year etc

 

[cnerd123]

Cook is 40 odd deliveries away from having faced the most deliveries for an England batsman in a Sub-Continent tour, and there is still a Test to go. Amazing.

What was it?

The runs in the last test carry a lot of weight given the surface but this innings here is just a good batsman humiliating a poor side on a very, very flat wicket.

Can't see how Dhoni and a few others can survive if India lose this game.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha @ Cook's batting record as captain; 5 matches, 886 runs with an average of 147 & 5 hundreds. Makes Bradman look 2nd rate.

 

[robelinda]

Hayden's efforts in 2001 were amazing, considering the dominating bowling attack, and big turning pitches. He was more dominant too, really attacked the daylights out of the bowlers.

If you've done the former you've earnt the latter IMO.

Haha, 87 strikes again!

 

[Howe_zat]

What was it?

England have just moved into favourites - 2.94 India, 2.88 England. Think it's worth a bet on both, though.

So you could say I bet against the draw

 

[superkingdave]

Yesss, Trott out

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Darn, deserved a hundred there. Well done Trott though as he was under pressure before that knock after a long barren run.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Couple of hours of KP would be nice.

SLA tho, etc

 

[TT Boy]

Tough on Trott but the run rate probably needed that. Can't lose the game now, so it is just a matter of how many and how quick.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

stage is set for KP
