England tour of India (4 Tests, 2 T20I, 5 ODI)

[Stig O'Hara]

What a fabulous place to plonk a cricket ground, looking at the crowd all rugged up, they ain't there for a tan.

India 3/49 after 12, and have been very lucky.

Ed: and sure enough, whitey Tredwell gets a wicket in his first over.

Dat view

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Inb4 Dhoni takes 80 balls to get to 50, then brings up the 100 at a run-a-ball.

India again leaving it to their captain to make up for the top order failings

 

[PTizzle]

Panic stations if Dhoni gets out.

.......so it's panic stations time.

.......so it's panic stations time.

Definitely worrying

Good move to bring Finn back.

Refreshing to hear blokes like Collingwood, Shastri and Gavaskar in the commentary box.

Plenty of time to soak up the game in between balls, and they aren't flogging off useless memorabilia every 3 minutes.

 

[glenferry23]

Yes it's a nice balance in the commentary box.

Raina building nicely for India. But England still in drivers seat having got the big one of dhoni.

 

[Ghostwriter]

+1 for the view and the commetry, btw does anyone remember the story Sunny was telling about Alec Bedser and John Snow, who was it that told Bedser to leave the changerooms?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bit of lower order heroics, and India scramble a respectable 226.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I'll admit Gavaskar and Shastri aren't the worst pair going around, but I can't help but picture them sitting in the box with their BCCI-branded tin foil hats. What happened to Arun Lal? He and Gavaskar made a great comedy duo.

If England fall 10-15 runs short, bowling Patel for an unnessesary sixth over should be seriously scrutinised.

FINALLY! Cook gets a decision go his way
