Good one lad, a nice under-stated celebration too, Old-school

Daemon · 13-12-2012, 10:00 PM

Yet another prior 50. Would make most sides on his batting alone.

silentstriker · 13-12-2012, 10:05 PM

As England have proven, it's not a lottery. As we were saying yesterday.

Howe_zat · 13-12-2012, 10:05 PM

England have moved into favourites this morning, which surprises me. 42 runs in an hour is good going here, but it's still just 42.

silentstriker · 13-12-2012, 10:09 PM

Well....there's an opening. Can't allow England to go past 300 or it's going to be trouble. Any chase at all in the 4th innings will be tough.

Contra · 13-12-2012, 10:13 PM

really needed that, Ashwin with a different angle, will be interesting to see Swann's approach to see if he goes for the big shots.

I must say though that Ohja really built up the pressure on Prior leading up to the wicket, Dhoni was losing a bit of control with regular boundary balls being bowled by Jadeja and Chawla.

Scratch that I totally forgot Bresnan is playing

GONE!

Hey, let's take off the guy who just took a wicket in his last ball?

FFS. Horrible selection and horrible captaincy.

Bresnan is a **** bat I must say

Black_Warrior · 13-12-2012, 10:17 PM

Great to see Root get his maiden half century!!

Bresnan the loser..wasn't he picked over Onions because of his batting?

Bresnan, today, is ****. Period. **** bowler and a useless bat.

centurymaker · 13-12-2012, 10:28 PM

chawla and bresnan. i don't know what these two are doing in the two teams.

Contra · 13-12-2012, 10:29 PM

he needs to plug that area, it's obviously Root's go-to shot.

SJS · 13-12-2012, 10:31 PM

I was just typing a post saying Dhoni will find the first opportunity to drop Ashwin. Just a gut feeling I had from the way Dhoni is handled both as a bowler and his spots in the batting order. He had bowled just 8 overs out of about 60 overs in the partnership between Prior and Root. I was writing something to the effect that if Chawla gets two wickets and Ashwin none plus Jadeja scores a fifty and Ashwin under ten, we might see Dhoni drop the spinner who took the fatest 50 Test wickets just a couple of weeks back and is screaming to go above at least Dhoni in the batting order.

Then he brought him on. I started watching and Ashwin got a wicket.

He hasn't bowled another ball since !!!

WTF !!!

Chawla has bowled more overs than Ashwin in this innings so far and that is NOT a joke !

Anyone remember how Dhoni treated Ashwin as skiper of CSK ?
