England V India ***Clash of the Heavyweights*** Test, T20 and ODI Series

[platypus]

It's a beautiful day here today, got TMS on and wishing I was there.

Same. First time ever I've been tempted to throw a sickie!

 

[Participant]

Low 80's mostly

Cheers. Who's the fastest English bowler so far? Tremlett? Anderson looked well out of sorts yesterday, very innocuous.

I don't know but I'd guess Broad, he's pretty sharp when he puts the effort in...I'd think he's faster than Tremlett on average...

 

[Cosimo]

First one, Dravid gone 94-2.

I remember reading about TMS on here before. I must be the only one with Sky commentary on, I don't mind it to be honest.

*Wicket* Dravid goes, unnecessary shot....

 

[ringo747]

Get in! That's the start.

 

[platypus]

Breakthrough hopefully!

If I had sky, I'd be watching muted with TMS over the top .

I don't have the option, no radio and I don't like watching live stuff on Skyplayer.

Tremlett so far (over all innings) has been the quickest on average, but Broad's bowled faster balls.. i think. But i have been watching from a pub TV for days 1->4 so i might be off.

IIRC, tremlett's stock ball is always around 85-87, Broad's speed varies a lot from 82 -> 94 (wicket, effort depending)

 

[sigma]

Didn't think to play TMS through the laptop....

 

[Cosimo]

The ultimate for home is watch it in HD and have TMS coming over the hi-fi.

Can't work out if its a bowl ahead or behind .

Tail will be batting by tea at this rate.

Impressed that Gambhir's batting after that wallop yesterday (I think it was Gambhir anyway).

Bring Prior onto bowl I say!! Imagine the psychological effect of the surprise of seeing Prior take off his pads and chuck an over down to you. Worth a shot, not very sportsman-like though perhaps.

Behind for me. Better than nothing though

I don't think we can say more for Dhoni than "chucking" an over down either If only Tresco were here, he could be bowling his away swingers . . .

We need a wicket or two before lunch.

England don't have a good record of bowling sides on on the final day at Lords. The pessimist in me could see India pulling this off (Draw) if we don't get a few quick wickets either side of lunch.
