***Official*** India in England 2014

FFS! All they needed to do was to play the opening spells from Anderson and Broad without much damage.

You say this like it's remotely easy.

 

[King Pietersen]

How the **** did Kohli go from leaving like a champ in South Africa to a complete numpty in this series?

Finally facing some decent bowling.

 

[91Jmay]

Cracking start. DO NOT LET THEM OFF THE ****ING HOOK.

Lol.

God, that was vomitworthy from Dhoni.

You say this like it's remotely easy.

Every team loses 4 wickets against Anderson and Broad in first 12 overs in every test match.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It'd be lolworthy if Dhoni somehow survives this.

 

[nevermind]

Dhoni making this look easy

 

[ajdude]

this is a situation that i walk out to quite often. ball doing heaps, top order reduced to shreds. determined look on my face, believing i can dig us out of the mire, i prepare to face

more often than not though i'm out missing a straight one or caught at mid on

Every team loses 4 wickets against Anderson and Broad in first 12 overs in every test match.

And every Test match opens with bowling of this quality.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Regardless of how well they've bowled, Pujara and Kohli's dismissals were avoidable.

 

[Arjun]

Concerns may now be raised about Pujara's consistently poor form away from India. This dismissal just makes his record worse. For someone tipped as one of India's best Test batsmen far and away, this is alarming. The team has already lost one opening batsman to poor form. Will they lose him too?

There is a serious player management crisis in the Indian side, which has been masked by revolving-door selections and Dhoni's inflexibility and support for his inner circle.

This is the best bowling I've seen from England since possibly day 1 Trent Bridge 2011.

Every team loses 4 wickets against Anderson and Broad in first 12 overs in every test match.

why can't you appreciate good bowling and just say "weldone"

 

[weldone]

The only positive about this situation is that it gives a prime chance to Rahane to play a memorable knock.

Although Dhoni won't possibly move him to no. 4 anytime soon anyways.

Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking too.

 

[Howe_zat]

Why won't England bowlers bowl at the stumps ffs!

 

[Jono]

Someone needs to call Ganguly out about saying batting first was the right decision here. You don't presume England will bowl bad like they did at Lord's again!

And saying Cook would have batted is most certainly not support of Dhoni's decision lol.

You should assume that in these conditions England will bowl well. Yeah sure maybe not this well, but you have to take that into account. You also have to take into account that your best bats are out of form and Gambhir is new in the team again.

 

[weldone]

why can't you appreciate good bowling and just say "weldone"

because I'm not watching it live

Gotta appeal, Stuart
