***Official*** India in England 2014

[Jono]

They bowled Raina after lunch on Day 4 at Lords IIRC. It was Prior and Broad who saved you, back when that sort of thing happened like clockwork.

The little mini-session at the end of Day 1 at TB was some of the best cricket I've seen, just quietly. Incredible bowling from Anderson and Broad with the new cherry and equally high quality batting from Dravid and Laxman to keep it out.

I was there for both.

Fair to say I enjoyed the latter but not the former.

Remember us chatting about it, you were just all wtf.

Any journalists giving twitter updates?

Apparently, and I'm sure this will be a shock to everyone, Ishant is bowling pies. And no-balls.

Some things never change.

According to Booth there were a couple that weren't called, though I'm not sure how he can tell from the press area unless they were massive ones.

Dhoni didn't bat last game and isn't keeping this time. What the **** does he think he's doing?

 

[nsniks]

I believe he was not even on the field for first hour. Either he is ill or injured or he has no interest in this warmup

 

[Daemon]

I get that he wants to play nice and give others time but quite frankly he's one of the players that needs it the most.

Nope. He's just realised that him trying to play properly isn't an option for succeeding overseas. He needs to slog. That requires no warm up. .

That, coupled with Pankaj going well is great. I'll probably change nothing though. Ishant will play all 5 years and average 900

you know the best thing about ishant? he's only 25.

10 more years.

Imagine the damage that attack would cause. Literally none.

He needs to keep at the very least. Doesn't the ball swing a lot more after passing the stumps or some **** like that in England?

 

[Daemon]

He's apparently put on his batting pads and is headed off to the nets now. Which means he won't be captaining nor will he be keeping. ****, he won't even be watching.

Well, Ishant will bowl plenty of overs so Kohli and Ashwin will do most of the keeping anyway.

Depends on your point of view. Fielding captain might disagree

Dhoni bowling the last over...

17yo dude just scored a 50, WAG.

Pretty embarrassing stuff this.
