The Cricket Thread

Killer stat:

Last 3 times Eng had oppo 4 for <25: Pakistan 21-4 in Dubai 2011-12; SA 21-4, Headingley 2003; NZ 19-4, Auckland 2001-02. Lost them all.
 
Top quality bowling in the first hour. Great toss to lose!
Got to keep it going, Dhoni looks determined to stay put.
Time for our second string bowlers to prove themselves.
 
Superb bowling by Broad and Anderson.

Broad 6-25

Another failure by Robson, think it's time to look elsewhere.

In contrast Ballance looks the real deal straight away.

And there goes Cook as well. Horrible shot, never looked comfortable.

40 behind with 7 wickets in hand, England could really press on today, will be tough the 1st hour with it nipping around a bit no doubt

Fletcher is clueless. Can't motivate, poor and negative selection, half the players lack preparation and practice and not using the vast array of talent at his disposal. Most of the players who might cope with the English conditions are sitting at home: Dinesh Kartik can cope with a moving ball, Umesh Yadav has pace, Nehra can bowl a Yorker etc. how is he still picking Kohli?

If India could get Gary Kirsten back they would be better off, or perhaps someone who can organise to play with flair e.g. Warne.
 
This is the first 5 Test series for most if not all the India team I think. They do not seem to have the stamina for it yet.

Why have they been uber **** in the 3rd and 4th tests then, maybe they should only play 2 test series in the future or get a decent fitness coach
 
148 all out, great knock from MS at the end but if England can score heavily like in the 3rd test it could be another innings victory
 
England 148/1 at lunch, another 50 for Captain Cook, real gritty innings, nice knock from Ballance too

Robson out to an awful shot again, Im not sure he is the answer at the top of the innings
 
India are an utter shambles of a team, clueless this morning, I fancy England to rattle through them and win sometime this afternoon
