***Official*** England in India

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that England are a big chance to get Tendulkar quickly if they can actually manage to bowl properly for once today. Big if, I know, but his forward press seems pretty jerky.

Sehwag's was half hearted though, Sachin plays the shot better than Sehwag tbf.
Still a bloody risky shot so early on, considering England haven't really been building any pressure to warrant it.

Looking a lot different now with Swann and Anderson in tandem though

edit: that was classily played by Pujara

But there's always the other side of the argument isn't there? A few boundaries early on vs the spinner and the close men start to disappear

He has so many other shots against spin though. I really don't get why he plays the slog sweep so often nowadays.

Though that one worked.

Yeah, guys, lets take chances against the only bowler who's looked remotely threatening so far.

Je ne comprends pas. When did he become a block/slog merchant? Did it against us too.

Swann's been gun today, though, only reason England aren't beyond dead and buried.

It's horrible when the commentators don't even know if there's a fielder in the general landing area of the ball.

GIMH might be right.

Misread the cricinfo commentary as well. I got all hopeful they had hired GIMH after the below.

Swann to Tendulkar, OUT, in a tangle this time and Tendulkar is gone! Swann mother****er!
