Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: hansgruber on Friday, July 27, 2007, 22:46:04 Game on. Hopefully it'll stay a bit overcast so Anderson and Sidebottom can hoop it around.
My game's been called off, so it's a day of odd-jobs and cricket watching for me tomorrow. Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 13:37:41 India 87-0 in reply to our 198 all out. It's not looking good. Pitch seems to be drying out so expect some Monty magic though :D

England 198 & 175-3 v India 481 Pietersen's just got out LBW again ... some dodgy umpiring by Taufel in this test England heading for a defeat annoyingly as we should be 1 up ...

Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, July 30, 2007, 15:59:46 C'mon Virgil!
If these two stay in until tomorrow lunch time then we might possibly steal a draw. Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: McLovin on Monday, July 30, 2007, 16:00:32 "I love Ian Bell... put another duck on the scoreboard baby...
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, July 30, 2007, 16:55:54 Bell can fuck off. It's about time the selectors got rid.
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Spud on Monday, July 30, 2007, 17:41:15 Yep its about time The Sherminator was dropped.
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, July 30, 2007, 17:54:42 On a worse note India need only 73 to win :(
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Spud on Monday, July 30, 2007, 17:56:49 Looking on the bright side we're going to bowl them out for 68.

It's about time the selectors got rid. wrong batting place for the Sherminator to play he is a natural no 3. When flintoff gets back i think strauss will be dropped. Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, July 30, 2007, 19:51:54 To be fair, Bell took a huge blow to the head in the nets this morning. That's got to have knocked his confidence a bit.
And I agree with Scot (!) that he should be batting at 3. Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, July 30, 2007, 21:13:27 When the pressures on, he bottles it, as do most of our batsmen :-))(
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: lebowski on Monday, July 30, 2007, 21:18:41 but bell's record at #6 is a lot better than his record at #3...

He hasn't managed anything decent this summer and he was shit in the winter. Time to get rid. I don't care where he bats. He should be scoring runs Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Foggy on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 13:23:04 And replace him with?
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 13:38:25 Mark Ramprakash... :D
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 13:47:22 Have we lost yet?
Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 14:05:59 Quote from: "Foggy" And replace him with? There must be some decent batsmen out there ready to step in. Bopara, Denly at Kent to name a few. I'm sure they would get more runs than Bell as that's not really hard is it. Don't forget Freddie will hopefully be back soon as well :wink: Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 14:10:05 Yeah id like to see Bopara in for Bell in the 3rd Test ... just to get us extra bowling option really
Maybe Broad for Anderson as well .. unless Hoggy is fit to resume Title: 2nd Test England v India For Larwood..... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 15:00:17 Anderson has been ok so far this series so i don't mind him being in there tbh

In this test it was the batting performance in the first innings (and to an extent in the second) that made winning the test near impossible. The bowling was a tad unlucky, even today, but if you only make 198 you've got it all to do. |
