England v India - 2nd Test, Day 3

[goosandog]

Bhogle cannot play cricket. Why the fuck is he talking about it?

[goosandog]

Bhogle is SHIT



[ratnalahiri]

hey.after paying to watch why all these errors and spooling , why does willow need you tube?

[AKSNYC123]

why do I still seem to get this feeling that India is going to win this game and sachin will hit 200.

[AKSNYC123]

this youtube is a headache...where is the normal willow tv folks??

[AKSNYC123]

day 3 india vs england highlights??

[prnitt]

how do we watch highlights

[bholadonna]

Who the hell hired Bhogle for silly commentary ?

[sumeetp0101]

I don't think India can come back from this; another 70 or 90 runs and I don't think India can last the 6 sessions

[sumeetp0101]

@pkalra1981 look for the youtube video w/ wii youtube

[144clark]

Can anyone tell me how to watch the highlights please.

[144clark]

Lets all hope that India fight hard now and give us something to be happy.I was very happy yesterday during Rahul and Yuvraj stand but since then i am in crappy mood. Lets hope for a fight.

[isaiah36]

the new ball always carries the risk of leaking runs, the bowling and fielding have to be in sync - today the vacant 3rd man cost india dearly

[dheebansachin]

I said you are welcome to prove you are better than them. Playing for state is not better than playing for the world no.1 Test team enabling it to remain there for more than year.

[pkalra1981]

hey ... any ideas how can I watch the live coverage using Wii?

[watchtvfree]

DRAVID ---

A CLASSY BATSMAN and a CLASSY MAN!!!

[dheebansachin]

Not you. The Indian cricket team is.

[rahbury]

I am not playing against them, Enland is, and they seem to be doing fine. No one is questioning the fact that India has done great recently....they seem to be off color now. And yes I have played for my state in India.

[dheebansachin]

Hear, hear what Dravid says. Very classy man, he knows what he is talking about. If only we could show the same class.

[cricketboss101]

Are we really the World Champions?

[dheebansachin]

Other jobs for indian cricketers and posing for cameras? Someone is jealous and frustrated. People have bad days, full time, part time, contract job, whatever. This team has done better than any other team, that includes any club team, you as an individual. You are welcome to prove you are better than them. They have been the best at the highest level of cricket. Whatever happens, happens in that case.

[axs8056]

Its just a game and good ones with last and bad ones will phase out ....so why bother......

[axs8056]

I agree with the entertainment....

[rahbury]

What other jobs do indian test cricketers hold?....posing for cameras?

[dheebansachin]

Full time, empty time. Doesn't matter. The professional know you get difficult days in office sometimes, yes the full time exponents. You are frustrated because it has not given you the entertainment you wanted.

[MrSunildutta]

yes I have played school and club cricket and still paly it. That is why I laugh when I hear names like Rahul Sharma, Vattathy,..for possible test slots. ODI performance tells us very little about the long form ability and T20 tells us nothing.

[axs8056]

Cricketers for India are not categorized as pros! They still hold other jobs, so can not compare them to what Aussies or other countries have their cricketers! So think b4 you say...

[ilayarajafan]

what is truly unbelievable is - borderline hatred for sachin.. cannot fathom where that is coming from.. surreal

[dheebansachin]

It just shows people are tired while watching it. If they play they know these things happen. Hypocrites!

[rahbury]

That is why they are paid to do it full time...unlike most of us!

[MrSunildutta]

BCCI is in charge of planning series, warm-up matches, monitotring players' fitness etc. But BCCI is more interested in fighting the DRS system and the IPL tamasha!!

[dheebansachin]

Everyone is predicting doom - over reaction. They can lose a series once in a while. they have not lost a series for more than a year.

[ilayarajafan]

nah, i think they were ok in this test match, once stuart broad got away at 124/8, they got rattled

[axs8056]

for indian team critics and bashers, how many have actually played even for their schools and universities? Its easy to sit in the comfort of their homes and comment then to face a ball at 100mph with windy conditions, stand for 8 hours in the field...i bet most of us will not last beyond 3 hours before dehydration.

[rahbury]

The whole side looks, under prepared, undercooked, unfit and hopelessly dependent on the aging stars. This does not bode well for the future at all.

[ilayarajafan]

yep, it was unbelievable how easily folks were writing this team off..

[dheebansachin]

Every team goes through such days. This has been the no.1 team, and has been for a while. No point brooding over it.

[MrSunildutta]

india were 258 for 4. They could have shut the doors for england right there. But we are not supposed to criciize Dhoni who batted like a no. 10. His fans would tell us that he has won us the world cup! What a joke!! We deserve it

[rahbury]

No one is `bashing' Sachin or Dhoni....just calling a mediocre performance just that. Extremely unimaginative cricket form India this.

[ilayarajafan]

hope all you sachin/dhoni/india bashers had a nice time dissing them. atleast this day server that purpose. pity how ignorant you are about the game of cricket

[gopalrajaii]

strauss should have given a standing ovation to Dhoni and shaken hands publicly. That would have made a statement.

[somudutt1]

Gavaskar saying we were handicapped because Bajji was injured.........YEAH RIGHT....just shut up Gavaskar...what would Bajji have done anyways

[somudutt1]

What is Ravi Shastri going to say to NDTV today.....someone ask him not to drink and give interviews

[somudutt1]

We let them off the hook twice in this match ...from 124/8 and then losing wkts to Broad yesterday....and England are not giving an inch now.....guess who is the better team.....England resemble the Aussies when they dominated

[razzletastic]

Strauss and/or Bell should have been at the gate to shake Dhoni's hand as they left the field

[TheKizhatil]

@razzletastic

Dream on

[gsiyer79]

Remember Ian Chappel...Bowlers win TEST matches.

[keyurswati]

Makes him look like a fool after the fact.

[keyurswati]

if Dhoni had any brains he would have taken the appeal back on the field. Somebody must have put some sense in to him at Tea.

[samprs]

What's wrong in playing Rajkot.....India won more series in England than what England has done in India..so just happened here this time because of change in coach, injuries.Wait for India to dominate the remaining part

[cziesler]

I think this game may still have some surprises. It's a good batting track now.

[tirmizi2006]

Good Pitch=Good Test

[cziesler]

Dhoni deserves to get the headlines for his sportsmanship. The rest is a mere footnote.

[TheKizhatil]

Now make em run laps

[rajan0921]

Have enjoyed Indians taken to the cleaners

[keyurswati]

BCCI must insist that all matches India play - be played on dust bowls or flat tracks in India

[rajan0921]

England, you are a much better side

[abtewari]

engldan should declare by luch tomorrow and win by the close of play.

[tan4tan]

lbw's are more questionable than any other, that's why they should have it. this match is prime eg

[cziesler]

417 runs scored in a day! Great batting.

[rajan0921]

i meant DRS

[napatapanchamrutham]

The score-guy on cricinfo says: - "These two have added 100, and it has been a joy to watch! "WTF

[zhazari]

Indian bowlers needs to eat eat to bowl faster then 80 mph.

[rajan0921]

With teh kind of umpiring we've seen, I've got to believe that it is more accurate

[TRacyAmit]

India are done 2-0 down after tomorrow!

[abegoswami]

Every tail-ender comes into a 100 + run partnership!

[vikjand]

banged through the covers. Thats what she said.

[TheKizhatil]

@vikjand

Hmmmmmmmmmmm!

[TRacyAmit]

hey



[keyurswati]

Yes we must drink the Dhoni, Sachin, BHajji Kool - Aid, otherwise our loyalty will be questioned.

[cziesler]

If you bowl short and wide then you're going to get the treatment.

[shuffereu]

short and wide... again!!

[anandrao26]

Dhobi is over-rated. he is riding on others performances. He has not made a single meaningful contribution to test cricket

[tan4tan]

all this because of the hard nose bcci. they didn't approve the drs for lbw. too much pride !!!

[keyurswati]

@anandrao - I suggested that yesterday but the Dhoni fans here thought he was a midget

[vikjand]

England's bottom 5 > India's top 5 unfortunately.

[rajan0921]

what are they all in smiles for? I guess its relief not happiness

[keyurswati]

I think for the next two test matches, BCCI will insist the matches must be played at Rajkot

[anandrao26]

poor wicket keeping - get parthiv patel. He appears to be a better keeper and a batsman

[vikjand]

Century.....! Err of overs bowled

[shuffereu]

Don't you hate the self-righteous little minds saying 'don't criticize India'. I've probably watched as much cricket as any of you, but I don't think that really matters. Everybody's entitled to share their opinion, without a flag thrown in their face for it.

After seeing the spanking we've got today, you're have to be drunk on the kool-aid to not question India's abilities.

[keyurswati]

come on now - surely the god can get India out of trouble

[vikjand]

is there just one team playing out there ?

[mmjanab]

Poor bowling - I can't believe it is same Indian team as first inning - Keep the off stump and bowl little full...and let the batsman chase...

[rshome125]

sachin' s body language and bat language are not matching these days!!



[aggasi25]

come india's batting, we will hear a lot of ooh's and ah's

[rajan0921]

the reason India is succesful in one days is because India hass a good TEAM, not good individuals players

[UtubeOSx]

four ki maa ki

[keyurswati]

I think Sachin will 500 runs tomorrow, I can see in his body language :))

[cziesler]

Field settings have been poor.

[aggasi25]

i dont see the batmasman getting beaten

[cziesler]

PK has great heart, and has bowled very well.

[rshome125]

india looks like it has thrown in the towel

[bharathtejasvi]

Sachin will at least score a 100!!

[rajan0921]

India needs to feel proud about what? giving away 400+ runs? I am sure Dhoni will come up with lame excuses in the press conference

[camvinay123]

He is asking Prior -- Can I switch sides and join England?

[CoolWaterDiver]

@camvinay123 LOL -- sure. We'll take all nationalities :)

[rukkr1sh]

Zaheer Khan is the only consistent bowler that we have. PK is good, Ishant is good too, and Sreesanth, but they all do ok in patches.

[CoolWaterDiver]

Great to see good spirit on the field after a long day

[rshome125]

look at their tail enders...why can't we have a tail like that???other than rahul and laxman and yuvi, the batting was pathetic from indians

[aggasi25]

just take 3 from the figure and he will score a duck

[ilayarajafan]

@anandrao26 shows what a shallow person you are hero

[techtryst]

what is PK talking so much with Prior

[bholadonna]

India can feel proud for what they have done in the field and they do not have to put there head in shame. Go India.

[rukkr1sh]

Zaheer Khan should be paid $2million by BCCI and should let him not play IPL. We are seeing now, how reliant we are on Zaheer Khan to play quality opponents

[bharathtejasvi]

do not over react guys, just wait and watch, India will bat well in 2nd Innings, Sachin will surely contribute!!

[anilsb1]

India needs managethe new ball and  the first 10 overs well and we will be good. There is not much in the wicket, I reckon.

[anandrao26]

sachin will score 300 tomorrow. hahahhahhaa

[tan4tan]

india waste the new ball in both matches

[abtewari]

We will see his genius tomorrow..lol

[shuffereu]

@shashi0204 Oh, I suppose that about shuts down any debate on just about anything. Sort of like saying, if you aren't a pilot then stop complaining about your plane being late.

[shashi0204]

@shuffereu ...m not complaing anyhting...all i waqnt to say is..think positively...match is not yet over...if u r the expert..dont make any comments here..go and play the game

[rajan0921]

this session, England have scored at almost 6 run per over

[manojtestaccount]

dhoni is thinking when this will end

[napatapanchamrutham]

What a dive, Sree? I bow to thee spirit.

[racheeto]

i wanna cry

[zebbev]

Ishant is just young

[ilayarajafan]

@abtewari, keyurswati wonder what goes on in those shallow, narrow, chotu minds of yours, dissing a genius, unbelievable

[waqarahmedkhan1]

ishant is overrated

[legendnaveenify]

look at the people over reacting here...pathetic fans!!

[get2bpadmana]

Its tough I agree but its ok guys. England is a good team. If we lose, we just need to realize we have some work to do. Lots of work. Bowling and Batting.

[shashi0204]

sitting here and commenting is easy...at the end of the day we proved we are indians..shame on you..u guys

[camvinay123]

shashi: did you just wake up dude?

[shuffereu]

@abtewari, @keyurswati LOL

[shashi0204]

guys...lets think positive...i didn see a single comment envoraging indian team...if u know every thinh why dont u go and play...

[camvinay123]

I hope the next series for us is against Bangladesh....oh wait, they cna get beaten up too. How about Kenya or Zimbabwe?

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati i am sure he ius not thinking about any lara record, neither am I

[keyurswati]

Come now - No Sachin bashing allowed here. He is a god to some people.

[abtewari]

sorry i meant 30

[ilayarajafan]

@abtewari he very well may :)

[aggasi25]

we dont deserve to be no 1. Pathetic display of bowling and fielding

[camvinay123]

I like PK. He has a good heart. He has fun while playing. He seems to have a good banter going with the other team. nice guy

[tirmizi2006]

They dont know how to ball on non-flat track except PK!!

[rajan0921]

seriously, I want this pain to end too

[TheKizhatil]

This is pathetic!

[shuffereu]

This is a little hard to see actually. I don't mind losing, but here India's just being taken apart.

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati i am sure he is least bothered about that

[camvinay123]

Can this day end please!!!!!

[prnitt]

make use of swing guys !!! come on

[keyurswati]

bouncer at 124 k - wow!

[rshome125]

what a beating india is getting...they are not the best side anymore...england is showing what is is made of!!!

[abtewari]

Sachin will score a 300

[bnh1985fan]

Lara's record of not scoring when needed? Sure!

[rajan0921]

Man, these guys just dont care do they. Believe me, I wouldnt mind losing this test match and the # 1 ranking. This is jut shoddy performance. Dhoni look cluless

[keyurswati]

@ila - Let's hope sachin breaks lara's record in 2nd inning.

[ilayarajafan]

@camvinay32 you asked ro PK no?

[shuffereu]

@keyurswati - What's a natural athlete without training and conditioning? LOL

[goosandog]

GO round the wicket!!!!!!!!!!!!

[camvinay123]

ok back to regular business - 4

[prnitt]

players are unfit



[keyurswati]

His cricket skills on non-flat tracks are a suspect - as evident.

[camvinay123]

vikj: funny

[vikjand]

@camvinay123 :-)

[keyurswati]

Dhoni is a natural athlete - no doubt about that.

[vikjand]

Dhoni does believe in conditioning -- air conditioning that is.

[pchaddha]

@vikjand Indian and athlete are antonyms

[shuffereu]

Well, Dhoni is on record saying that he doesn't believe in conditioning. Amazing that a sportsman in this age would be heard saying that.

[keyurswati]

I will never understand why Bhajji was picket for this test. If not Mishra and go with Munaf.

[isaiah36]

perhaps what Bumble means by "classy" is that the serfs send down some under arm stuff for the lords to have a whack at: by that count India cricket is definitely 'classy" ;)

[ilayarajafan]

@pchaddha indiancricket fan with short memory! ha ha ha!

[camvinay123]

yay...no 4's in this over.

[ilayarajafan]

@kkumar2 another sachin basher! join the fun!

[keyurswati]

Not sure why Yuvi was picket ahead of Badri. He didn't even go to WI.

[rajan0921]

also look at how fit the england players are. Its a shame to see some of our players, Dhoni, yuvraj, zaheer

[CoolWaterDiver]

@rajan0921 Flower makes them practice after they are exhausted from working out -- that's a big part of their success

[pchaddha]

India cricket no 1 ... India WC champions .... India super-power .... ha! ha! ha!

[camvinay123]

I think VC is Raina. That will be good to see a change in mindset.

[zebbev]

why would Eng declare Sunil??????

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati did i say anything to suggest otherwise?

[75meanstreet]

even if they dont win this match..they should go down fighting

[shuffereu]

rajan0921 - Calling them T20 players isn't really an insult; if only they were even that. Unfortunately, you can't call yourself a decent T20 player if you fail to break 20 runs!

[rajan0921]

might be better to drop Dhoni, havent seen any insipring performances, nor any effective captaincy

[kkumar2]

If Eng wins this, they might well do a clean sweep 4-0.

Sachin I am sure wont score when India are in trouble.

[tillydog7853]

India will come back - too good a side not to. This will be a great series. Enjoy two good sides - cricket played as it should be played. Still believe if England give India anything less than 400 target and it is game on.

[bnh1985fan]

This just in -- Indian players will foresake match fees if they lose

[zebbev]

If Dhoni gets suspended who becomes Captain

[camvinay123]

lpmahesh: What Gavaskar is saying is very very true. He is being objective here. All he is saying is India have helped England get to ths position by being so clueless. What's wrong with that

[keyurswati]

@ila - I think you need to keep an open mind. We are all are India fans and therefore watching this match.

[camvinay123]

It appears that Dhoni is screwed up his run rateagain and might get dropped for the next test. yipeeee

[TheKizhatil]

Going from the lat 3-4 matches Kirsten seems to have been a huge factor in India's success

[ilayarajafan]

when you dont have an answer just troll! varevaa :)

[lpmahesh]

donno why gavaskar always praises opp team and criticizes india as if he his the sachin of his era ...

[rajan0921]

India has chased A 300+ total only twice, dont think we'll get there with these T20 players

[samprs]

The series result is determined may be 2-0 or 2-1 and Team India had not proper plan..let us forget and how well India is determined to show itself from the third test and I bet as ab optimist

[aptamer20000]

Broad is yet to come...

[keyurswati]

its not a sport anymore in India - Business! plain and simple -

[hemavathyswaminathan]

i feel Ashwin would be better than Bhajji. in all department of the game bowling, fieiding and batting.

Mind . He was opening batman for Tamilnadu Ranji team.

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati stop making random stmts, you are losing me fast :)

[aggasi25]

pathetic bowling



[camvinay123]

PK looks happier bowling from Asad Rauf's end :-)

[shuffereu]

@keyurswati - I think you just hit the nail on the head!

[zebbev]

seeing this board confirms it for me

[anilsb1]

No Sehwag, No Zaheer, No Gambhir , No third man

England milking all the way.Miss Kirsten.

[zebbev]

brianvalentine...Indian fans are some of the harshest in the world

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati why didnt badri get a chance ahead of yuvi or raina?

[keyurswati]

See its all Business at the end. Dhoni, Bhajji, Sachin are big brand names

[shuffereu]

@brianvalentine99 - I've watched every day of the tests so far, and I feel very justified in being down on the team. There's no fight, and they've proven themselves to be quite a bit like paper-tigers.

[aptamer20000]

Englad just lost sight... They are seeing it as a T20 now/

[camvinay123]

5 overs to go today..Damn, Prior won't get his century today. But Bresnan will get his 50.

[keyurswati]

Pujara is hurt and politics keeps out other deserving players

[ilayarajafan]

@brianvalentine symbolic of the new india i guess.. instant gratification is the name of the game :)

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati didnt answer my question :) donthave an answer eh?

[camvinay123]

bnh1985: you are funny.....

[aptamer20000]

one more day of play and the last day for rest :-)

[keyurswati]

Ashwin is a better bat than Bhajji also

[CoolWaterDiver]

Is this the best England team ever? Certainly the best in living memory, I would think?

[brianvalentine99]

I have never read such demoralized people critizing their team ....sure England is on top ...but test matches swing .... it's like a game of chess .... hang in their guys !!!

[zebbev]

Their ranking says they are #1

[bnh1985fan]

Dhoni wants to chase the biggest target and win which is why he is not protecting runs

[camvinay123]

Current partnership 76 runs, 12.2 overs, RR: 6.16 (Prior 47, Bresnan 29)

[lpmahesh]

he would have damaged eng bowlers mindset

[keyurswati]

Need Lax and Dravid, without them overseas tests would be a joke

[cmsmehta]

cricket is played on field not at blogspot... there are two more days of cricket in this match....

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati i hope he plays until he gets some serious competetion :)

[aptamer20000]

India being demoralized here... sorry to see.

[lpmahesh]

@camvinay - viru would take the bowlers apart ...india didn't crossed 300 so far in this series and i bet it wouldn't have hapenned with Viru

[zebbev]

Dhoni not protecting the boundary

[reddy2shop1]

Bresnan and Prior will each get a century.

[rajan0921]

england is definetely the number 1 side in the world, bat till #10, top class bowlers

[sachinmodi2012]

Harbhajan shouldn't be in the team for at least the next 10-15 test matches. Groom R Ashwin and Mishra instead...

[shuffereu]

@zebbev. Does this really look like a #1 team to you?

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati forget about the big 3, why didnt gthey get picked ahead of yuvi and raina?

[aptamer20000]

Bhajji trying to make it is a LARGE defeat.



[camvinay123]

3 balls to go in this over. Prior will hit 2 sixes

[ilayarajafan]

@Aabtewari here is a thought - worst indian fans in years may be as well :)

[keyurswati]

need to get off sachin bandwagon

[keyurswati]

There are plenty - Badri, Pujara .....

[lpmahesh]

bhajji waste in this trip

[reddy2shop1]

Yuvi to bowl. How about Mukund? Does he bowl? Why is Harbi on the field?

[zebbev]

the #1 team is worst ever??

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati and who is that young warrior sir/madam?

[camvinay123]

Thing is even if Sehwag was here, there is only so much he can do. When a team is getting beaten up like this and the captain is letting things drift, they already have this defeated mindset.

[abtewari]

worst indian team to travel in years

[cziesler]

Aha! Yuvraj the Golden Arm returns.

[aptamer20000]

Prior arrangements made... India out of contention now.



[mmrncsca]

can someone send in the rain ?

[lpmahesh]

lol good one CZ

Broad wil come i guess

[shuffereu]

I'd argue that our bowling has actually been better than our batting so far this series. Now that's not saying much, but it's still a shocker.

[MrIndi1973]

fuck indians!!!

[waqarahmedkhan1]

gawskar was complaining that english players did not claps when dravid made 100

[zebbev]

lol@cziesler



[keyurswati]

I hope he gets his record and all the damn records he wants and retire and let some young warrior get his place.

[camvinay123]

waqar: what do you mean Gavaskar doesn't make sense? In what context?

[cziesler]

Question: if a wicket falls, will England want to have Anderson come in as night-watchman to protect Broad :-)

[waqarahmedkhan1]

if u want more fielders on boundry than there would be easy singles

[lpmahesh]

We all are missing Sehwag effect!!!

[ilayarajafan]

@reddy give up? give up? well well well..

[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati he very well may :)

[skirtane]

no batter is going to save this one for india. there is no way the team can make more than 400 in the 4th inning. they have not even managed to make 300 in an innings yet!

[waqarahmedkhan1]

gawskar doesn't make sense

[cziesler]

Straight away PK beats the edge. 

[manojtestaccount]

I really really want india to win but the way it is going it looks even draw is not possible for indians

[MrIndi1973]

yeah sachin will score 3 runs

[SHINAVRATA]

Dhoni.............really ...really mR cool

[keyurswati]

Well at least we can all dream

[camvinay123]

thing is, PK had bowled only about 3-4 overs with the new ball before he was taken off. And before that, he had not bowled for like 2 overs. So where is this thing about being tired

[bnh1985fan]

india should open with Sachin and Dravid -- put Mukund down the order

[FUNMD45]

Eye opener for One day Champs !! Test Cricket is different ball game .India does not have the test level bowing to get the side out twice !!

[waqarahmedkhan1]

sunil gawskar sucks

[cziesler]

@keyurswati - dream on.

[reddy2shop1]

Get off the field Indians! Give it up. Shut up ganguly - and stop chewing Calcutta paan. You along with Sunny and Ravi and harsha are full of crap. Fire Duncan Fletcher and get Kapil Dev as coach. Close to 400 runs by England today. What a hiding and walloping we got.

[zebbev]

Gavaskar is not happy

[keyurswati]

and India will win

[SrivatsanSath]

Thats nonsense commentarty... IF fielders are placed out to the boundaries then its easy runs... if they are inside, then bad placing...

[camvinay123]

52 boundaries today!!!

[ilayarajafan]

@cmsmehta it was 1996

[cmsmehta]

@ilayarajafan ... so it mean england never tested series win against india in last 15 years....

[keyurswati]

Sachin will score a triple in 2nd innings!!

[camvinay123]

From Cricinfo: Sharma to Prior, FOUR, 137.6 kph, here comes the default Ishant ball on the pads. This is now worse than rubbish bowling. Prior can't believe these lines, he almost seems to chuckle in pleasure as he wrists it away through midwicket. Another beautiful shot!

[skirtane]

england is taking india to the cleaners...

[ilayarajafan]

@camvinay here is a thought for you - PK has already bowled 47 overs in this match and may have been tired

[mmrncsca]

slower bowler will do :)

[cmsmehta]

when did england last beat india in a test series...??? anyone knows that....

[skirtane]

lot of things done wrong by india in this series. consider #1 ranking gone.

[rukkr1sh]

effectively, we are left with only 4 batsmen, and out of the 4, One Mr.Sachin, needs to contribute, along with the other 3.

[cziesler]

PK's back. At least that may bring a threat. Problem is MP has now got 50.

[camvinay123]

Finally, he brings PK back after Sree & IS released all pressure.

[SHINAVRATA]

Dhodala....

[ilayarajafan]

@reddy you are back too! yay!

[mmrncsca]

wheres the slower ball ?

[shuffereu]

Test Matches are back, I'll give 'em that. Especially with 20/20 batting thrown into the mix.

[camvinay123]

I think Raina & Yuvi did a much better job than these 2 clowns

[reddy2shop1]

England - you are a nightmare for us.

[camvinay123]

goosanddog: Exactly. How can you take your best bowler off and keep givign Sree & IS bowling. This is stupid captaincy.

[keyurswati]

Bhajji chasing the ball - lol!!

[mmrncsca]

shit bowling, and great batting



[TheKizhatil]

need to put blinders on IS and Sree!

[ilayarajafan]

@racheto why do you? :)

[cziesler]

Just like that. More boundaries!

[keyurswati]

around the wicket - idiot

[reddy2shop1]

Kick Dhoni for leaking runs without a fielder at third man

[cziesler]

England need to press their advantage this evening. Don't take their foot of the pedal.

[racheeto]

pathetic performance, why do we watch india play?

[Freetimevlog]

Ugh. Anyone else still having buffering problems today?

[brianvalentine99]

India playing for declaration then watch out England ... series will be leveled tomorrow .... I'm taking bets !!!

[camvinay123]

If I were Strauss, I would declare now. this way they can get Indias all out by Tea tomorrow and get an extra day

[rukkr1sh]

Well Well, Dravid, Sachin, Laxman and Yuvraj (included him, since he has the ability)....should play and score big, to win this match. Someone will win this match for sure :), I wish India will :)

[goosandog]

why the F*** arent they bowling ROUND the WICKET????????  Bad captaincy from Dhoni!!

[somudutt1]

So our bowlers need 3 bad innings before they bowl good in 1......nice

[sumeshpankajakshan]

Indian bowling is full crap

[cziesler]

Batting with Prior intent!

[camvinay123]

Shastri: fielders are tired.. no moron, bowling is crap.

[isaiah36]

400 up, run rate up to 6 an over

[sumeshpankajakshan]

38 ball 52

[keyurswati]

Shot!!! well played Matt

[somudutt1]

Prior scorign another century!

[camvinay123]

There you go.....50 off 39 balls. His next 50 will take 20 balls at this rate.

[shuffereu]

WTF.

[cziesler]

Fifty from 39 balls!

[Kapsfan00]

I think Dhoni's decision deflated the team. If a captain and stand up for his guys, the guys will not stand up for him

[ilayarajafan]

@somdutt i hope you dont celebrate if we do win

[cmsmehta]

when did england last beat india in a test series...??? anyone??

[keyurswati]

may be BCCI can pay off Eng player to draw the match - only hope

[cziesler]

58 runs in the last 10 overs. That's ODI pace.

[camvinay123]

Guys, help me figure this out. PK was bowling so well and Dhoni takes him off. He contrinues Sree who keeps getting hit over and over. And now IS is bowling shit

[mmrncsca]

quick update: tendlkar isnt bowling right now.

[somudutt1]

India has LOST this test guys big time....I wont be surpriused if they get packed below 200 in 4'th innings

[SHINAVRATA]

its look like england playing 20/20 or IPL

[cmsmehta]

when did england last beat india in a test series...??? anyone??

[TheKizhatil]

That's the new ball?

[dheebansachin]

Just stop moaning. You can't say India does not deserve to be no.1. They have been no.1 for a long time, and have won the World Cup. Anyone who says they don't deserve that is just out of his mind.

[cziesler]

India haemorrhaging runs

[gangster125]

Ah, now that the heat has died down, I really really hope the likes of Shastri see that Dhoni's was indeed the correct decision. And give him props for it. Shastri And Gavaskar behaved like idiots earlier.

[mmrncsca]

next over begin with a bouncer, to display aggression, then slip in a slower one.

[camvinay123]

shuffu: you are right.

[goosandog]

Why worry? India has Tendulkar! Oh wait, aren't we talking about Mr. Undependable here?

[bnh1985fan]

@Shinavrata -- For a second I read you meaning Raina is our only hope -- NOT!

[keyurswati]

as expected Bhajji is just a spectator here

[noddzy]

@Shin Rain or Raina ;)

[somudutt1]

Why the f*** was PK removed from attack.....?

[tan4tan]

why did dhoni take praveen off?

[shuffereu]

I'm calling this a 4-0 whitewash for England.

[SrivatsanSath]

Its easy to look kewl when things are moving in one's favor but the question is how would the same one look when the things are moving decidedly in wrong direction... Thats where India is doing good..

[camvinay123]

Prior will get his 100 today in 80 balls. Go Prior!!!!

[bnh1985fan]

India getting SPANKED!

[SHINAVRATA]

Rain is only India's hope

[cziesler]

SIX big runs!!!! WHoo-hooo!

[camvinay123]

SIX!!!!!! 

[panwalas]

ganguly: "the likes of ... the likes of... " desperately need Tony Greg.

[keyurswati]

missed for 2 hours - at least dhoni came back to his senses and called back bell

[MrSunildutta]

It seems that you can't say a single bad word about Dhoni's captaincy or batting or keeping skills here. This and our incompetent BCCI are why we don't deserve to be no. 1 team.

[mmrncsca]

not excusing the crap bowling, but wickets build pressure and momentum

and umpires need to be fair

[applenina]

if bhajji is not dropped atleast do not let him bowl. am i hearing that bhajji is injured? good way to say he is

"hurt" and not "dropped"

[ilayarajafan]

@abtewari aha! you are back too!

[cmsmehta]

when did england last beat india in a test series...???

[shuffereu]

@Ajwillow. You're right. Thanks. They actually equalled 16 twice.

[SHINAVRATA]

Look at this young guy throw?? I cant believe it. Should be a run out

[TheKizhatil]

Aha beamer time?



[ilayarajafan]

@keyurswati yay! look whos back!

[abtewari]

india will lose series 3-0

[cziesler]

India haven't managed to put three good sessions together in a row together yet this series.

[mmrncsca]

here, england have erasmus

[ilayarajafan]

and also couple of gentlemen by the names of glenn mcgrath and shane warne :)

[keyurswati]

No bhajji cannot be dropped 1 sardar quota

[mmrncsca]

and aussie umpires, too

[camvinay123]

UTube: What does that mean? remove his pants and put a frock?

[mmrncsca]

when they won 18, they had bucknor in their back pocket..

[arnabsom2007]

maaaa ke paas



[cziesler]

Dhoni has failed to put England under consistent pressure.

[UtubeOSx]

frock dhoni

[camvinay123]

Shuff: that is what a #1 team does....look to win all the time and do everything in its power to do so.

[maximusutube]

sehwag where art thou?

[applenina]

@keyurswati - atleast he can ask dhoni to drop bhajji's

[camvinay123]

hpm1221: Good comment. Eng are definitely playing like a #1 team with all around effort. Moroever, tehy are playing with a killer instinct

[Ajwillow]

16 not 18

[goosandog]

Sharma should bowl around the wicket!

[ilayarajafan]

@camvinay32 if dhoni doesnt do the things you want him to do, its brainless is it? :)

[shuffereu]

Remember when Australia was #1 in Test Rankings -- They won 18 in a row, and did it emphatically.

[SHINAVRATA]

May be India using 2nd test match as a practice match..

[keyurswati]

fletcher can't do anything if bhajji sucks!!

[camvinay123]

Not only is it a toothless attack but a brainless one too :-)

[bnh1985fan]

even if strauss declared now, England would win by 100+ runs

[rsmangat1]

England ne dho dala... toh life jhingalala....

[hpm1221]

Watching this England team, they are definitely #1 in my opinion - India does not have the batting or bowling depth like this team does. They'll be hard to beat - it's like watching Federer's last days, watching tis Indian team....

[gopalrajaii]

in this ad, does the lady say "bummer" or "bhama"

[SrivatsanSath]

Also if the LBWs' were given,then things would have vastly different... Of course, if and buts dont make anything better except wasting time... Its about what can be done now... The question is whether top-order can stay for India this time or not

[ilayarajafan]

@shinavrata curious, if india wins this match, will you celebrate?

[waqarahmedkhan1]

india will be 3rd on table in rankings after this series....

[camvinay123]

There is only so much Fletcher can do. If bowlers spray the ball around, is that his fault? Remember all these players have big egos and don;t like to be told much.

[SHINAVRATA]

Toothless Attack

[ashivh2]

no swing absolutely for ishant, bring back praveen kumar for another spell
