***Official*** England in India

[Jono]

Nah too dark

 

[Burgey]

he's keeping a pews-esque database imo

No, he's not stats-obsessed. I told him to get on with it and said he could have an ice block if he hit a six.

Bit like coaching Sehwag I suppose.

He went one bounce four, got nothing.

Please please please people get fired and dropped for this. As Monga's article showed, it's a team culture issue. As I said in the other thread, Ponting NEVER made excuses for his losses unlike this sorry bunch whining after every overseas loss. Of course, he also quoted the President of the BCCI making that same excuse. So....yea. IPL's doing OK right?

 

[Cevno]

Haven't had the time to watch more than a hour of this match live, but bloody hell this has been shocking.

burn the stadium down imo

and the curator's pitch

All the expert curators are in Mumbai... Burning the stadium though..
And I am actually enjoying this innings from Ashwin.. Even when you lose, you should at least irritate the **** out of them.. Make it as difficult as possible.

The pitch was too flat. #PossibleDhoniExcuses

 

[Redbacks]

Anderson's spell that did the damage was equivalent to the mastery of Amla in Perth. Late swing and both ways. Batsmen out of form played their part too.

Not taking anything away from England, but no other Indian side of the past twenty years would have done this badly at home (say 1990-2010).

You are what your record says you are. And this side is terrible.

 

[Jono]

Nah rubbish, Anderson and Swann would have taken out 90s Indian batsmen, especially the openers.

We are too shaken up by Bal Thackeray's death. #PossibleDhoniExcuses

Yea, probably. But the middle order would have been better and Kumble would certainly have been better.
