yep, unless they get some wickets fast i reakon they are looking towards 280

Schoolboy error from Simpson. I'd be annoyed to miss that stumping!

 

[Tim]

It wasn't that easy! He was made to look a little stupid though because the batsman gave him all the time in the world to think about what he had to do.

From our position it looked fairly straight-forward but it was not easy, I can tell you that.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Yeah, you're right. Still should have taken it, mind.

Have we got a fourth spinner?! Doesn't Hamilton-Brown bowl offies?

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'll take that as a yes, then. What's the world coming to... five Indian seamers in the ODI this week, four English spinners today.

I am dissapointed by what I have seen so far tbh. Those English spinners are not going to make it internationaly. (at least on bowling ability)

I want to see a leggie, or a sharp looking tearaway...

It seems fashionable to bowl little off spinners these days.

 

[Tim]

You can't really make that kind of judgement. The problem is that they are all the same so its fairly easy pickings for India as it's the type of bowling they love to bat against.

I guess the point that I am trying to make is that no one I have seen so far looks 'special'

Jeez brain explosion from the captain...

"No, I'm going to get out in the stupidest way possible..."

Yeah, they're no Jacks.

Gaurav Dhiman is no cousin of Sehwag. The cousin of Sehwag in the u-19 team is Mayank Tehlan, a middle-order batsman from Delhi and he is an aggressive batsman as well more in the mode of his star-cousin.

ye it was a though chance that for John, more of than not he would have had the stumping i'm sure. Also form Watchinf i've been pretty impressed by White's left-arm spin, i saw him bowl when Lancashire Under-17 played the Northhants Under-17 a year ago & looks a good young prosepect as spinner.

 

[aussie]

293 to win then, England would do well to win this..

 

[steds]

Mullaney 3-0-35-0. Serves the arrogant git right.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Chopra pulls a Vaughan and loses off stump to a straight one.

I can't be the only one who thinks it's stupid to have 20 mins batting, then lunch, then the rest of the innings, can I? Whoever thought that up?!

 

[aussie]

ye very odd that, pitty i'm not at home to see whats going on

 

[Jono]

England 12/3!

 

[adharcric]

Looks like Pujara, Dhiman and Chawla are serious prospects.

 

[PY]

I would say we're done for.

 

[adharcric]

I would say we're done for.

I would say you're a genius. Hope they get skittled for < 30. Brilliant.
