I'm Sahil Dutta and I'm very excited.

Haha.

In other news, Broad out with illness.

Yardy in for Bopara is the talk from Nasser.

Toss crucial for England; we bat first and score big then maybe. We lose and concede one and it's red rover, tbh.

EDIT: **** it; Strauss calls heads and it comes down tails. Bad guys to bat.

Spark · 27-02-2011, 01:31 AM

Haha wow. Yeah, England are fair ****ed in that case. Don't see Anderson and whoever else they come up with doing much good against Tendulkar/Sehwag, unless it's swinging. In which case Anderson will become a ten ton wrecking ball.

Leaving Yardy out against Holland but then picking him against India makes such little sense. India should have no problem playing him at all; they really are the worst team to pick the guy against. You could make the argument that India's batting is better than their bowling by such a margin that it warrants playing the extra bowler, but if there's one team that has a bigger gulf that India on that front it's Holland. Bopara actually played really well, too.

Shahzad in not the worst replacement for Bangalore; swings old ball and new.

Broad out is a massive loss tho, not pretending otherwise. 95-5 India for mine.

Spark · 27-02-2011, 01:35 AM

Apparently Tredwell is playing instead. Oh dear. Why not Shazhad, he's in the squad IIRC.

EDIT: Ah, good. Sanity prevails.

zorax · 27-02-2011, 01:43 AM

Chawla in for Sreesanth. Good move.

zorax · 27-02-2011, 01:55 AM

A stadium full of people singing the national anthem. Just got chills.

zorax · 27-02-2011, 02:01 AM

First ball 4...tho not as convincing as against BD.

Swann barely reached that, to be fair.

BoyBrumby · 27-02-2011, 02:03 AM

That's so annoying. Swann seemed late going for it.

zorax · 27-02-2011, 02:06 AM

Pretty good start there from Anderson.

Filthy ball to start with from Ajmal tho.

8ankitj · 27-02-2011, 02:07 AM

what's happening there?

Have 300 bucks with a friend on a bet on SRT. I'm betting he won't cross 30.
