***Official*** India in England 2014

[Slifer]

Wow so England have resorted to going around the wicket and bowling bouncers to the tail-enders......very interesting

 

[viriya]

England would do well to be a little more enthusiastic about getting the damn wicket.. that was just.. ugh

Nope, that's just Liam Plunkett. I've seen him bowl about 10 balls over the wicket from what I've watched.

It's a tactic with which they are intimately familiar tbf

Getting tailenders out : Most underrated skill in cricket. **** those top-order wicket proportion stats.

Yeah, quite. Just such a huge difference between the output of a team with a dangerous tail and a team without one.

 

[Daemon]

England deserve this. Lost count of the number of times their tail has been doing this over the last few years.

 

[King Pietersen]

Kegga. WAG. Get him in.

Yup. Good point.

Reminds of the good old Ws. Would wrap up the tail in quivk time usually.

Btw amazing play by bhuvi and shami

This has happened to us so many times in the past that it seems surreal to witness it by our guys.

In which case either he's a prize idiot, or he should be telling his captain to FRO.

Really, this lot have long since got somewhere beyond embarrassing. We've spent the last day and two thirds being told it's all down to wicket, but no-one would be surprised to see us about 50 for 4. Assuming we ever manage to dislodge one of these guys.

Still, it doesn't matter because the pitch will last for 5 days and it doesn't matter that we don't produce proper bowlers any more because who needs them as long as the cash is coming in at the moment.

First class cricket really is a complete oxymoron in England nowadays.

 

[smash84]

Another reason to kick out ishant. Typical tail ender batting.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hahaha, not seen any of it since Dhoni got out. Oh dear oh dear.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yup. Good point.

It was also what made Johnson phenomenal in the Ashes. The tail basically stood no chance against him once they were exposed.

 

[King Pietersen]

Don't worry guys. We're still not bowling properly. Still sticking to around the wicket and short. Broad's injured as well apparently. Cracking.

 

[Spark]

Well batted. Looked totally at ease.

Haha, Shami!

 

[Pothas]

Can it really get any worse?

 

[King Pietersen]

Ridiculous shot. 100 partnership. This is dire.

Someone tell Plunkett to get over the wicket and bowl at their toes.

 

[viriya]

Anderson would do well to feign an injury round about now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Glorious
