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

[jethro11]

A switch-hit on a day 5 track in India. Nothing can go wrong for Swanny here.

 

[Super Hans]

Cook really has come on since he was the lanky opener that nicked everything in the 06 ashes. I'd say he is the premium opener in the world atm.

I'd go further I reckon he's the best bat.

Has been for the last couple of years now.

I'd say Amla has Cook covered atm. Cook hasn't been outstanding in 2012.

 

[Super Hans]

I'd go further I reckon he's the best bat.

I'd say Amla is better, only my opinion though. Wouldn't be complaining with either of them in the Aussie top order.

 

[Kakkle]

I'd like to see Ashwin open the batting with Sehwag.

 

[Marshland]

That Ojha wicket of Cook = superb.

 

[B-Bomber]

Disappointing I was hoping for another 40-50 runs for india to chase...

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Samit loves a pie. And a full toss.

 

[glenferry23]

scores level now, big win for india coming up

 

[white stain 3]

Pujara has really impressed me in this match. 247 runs without getting out is a superb effort even by an Indian on an Indian pitch. Him and Kohli will have great careers at no.3 and no.4.

"It was hard work for them, especially if you are expected to take more than ten wickets to get the team out,"

Is Dhoni serious? If you aren't prepared to have DRS, I don't see how you can complain about umpiring.

 

[Ekomaira]

Dhoni is a ****. Suspend him

where did he complain about the umpires

 

[B-Bomber]

Yeah I started out thinking I'd have rathered see England lose but the never ending wank-fest that was the Indian biased commentary put an end to that

 

[Ill Chicken]

where did he complain about the umpires

He said it was hard for his bowlers in the 2nd innings because they had to take more than ten wickets.

 

[Marshland]

It's a catch-22 situation. He neither want the DRS, nor wrong decisions from "human" umpires.

Category A weirdo.

Gavaskar is definitely their version of Healy.

Dhoni's post match comments confirm he's on another planet. I also enjoyed Ojha's little tantrum when Broad tapped his bat on the middle of the pitch after getting out. They're a likeable team these Indians.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Stoked with the result. England will fall back to number 4 soon, where they rightly belong

Make that #5 if they get beaten either 3-0 or 4-0.

Can't pick a team who deserve it more.

 

[amer]

Will never forget the sprinkler celebration. Hope it's 4-0 to India.

No, he's fine with wrong decisions from "human" umpires.

Just as long as they don't go against India.

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

Don't want England to slide too far down the rankings as then it will be even more embarrassing when they inevitably beat us in the Ashes next year.

Don't think so - they've all had their moment in the sun and they're now sliding down rapidly. Strauss has gone for starters, and look at someone like Ian Bell or Samit Patel or Stuart Broad. Them, win the Ashes? Hahahaha.
