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

It's just hit home that sachin is injured. I am gutted. I don't want to sound like a whiny emo but everything is going wrong at the moment. :(

Also the bcci needs to shut up. Some things, like scheduling and drs resistance I agree with, but keep the commentators. Not everyone agrees with them but not everyone agrees with shahstri either,brilliant pundit though he is.

Whats this about scheduling? imo, the BCCI can't complain one iota about the international schedule when they prioritise a non ICC event like the IPL over pretty much everything else.

No, the BCCI apparently schedules too much cricket for India. I personally think that India plays a good amount of cricket. 3-4 tours in a year is about right imo.

True, the forecast for the Durham game seemed to change daily. Although the forecast the day before and on the day had it pretty spot on really. Hope you have better luck... with the weather at least ;)

Haha, thank you. I really want it to be a FULL game and a good game first and foremost. I have amazing seats for this fixture :D

H. Singh has 'recovered' from his injury in time to play T20 Champions League.
Oh i say, thats a co-incidence that isn't it?

Priorities are a mess in Indian cricket at the moment.

Disgraceful isn't it? I used to defend the Indian players when people accused them of just being in for the monies, but now I'm starting to wonder whether it's true.

However, Harbhajan really isn't the kind of guy to be like that. He LOVES playing for India, really loves it, so I really don't know what to think :(

On the plus side, little over 14 hours to go! :D :D
 
Great day out. Disgusting for the first hour of play. I was sat right next to the place where the players come from, so at some point in the day, I was within touching distance of every single player.

When it was 28/4 and Dhoni came out to bat, as he walked down the steps, I shouted at him, I said: "Dhoni, what is going on? Your team is a disgrace!"

Brilliant recovery from India but still a LOT of runs short, due to the crap at the beginning. It should never have been as close as it was.

Also LolErasmus, that guy is STILL ****ing up. How is he even an umpire?

LOL there was a period a while back where Dhoni had lost 15 ODI tosses in a row :eek:

Why do Indian fans get so ridiculously excited by boundaries and boo when the ball goes to a fielder? Whoever brought Cricket to India clearly forgot to mention it is supposed to be played and watched in the correct spirit...

Lol, you're not too wrong there. But don't forget, a lot of England fans don't cover themselves in glory either. Like the booing at Trent Bridge, absolutely disgusting behaviour in my opinion, really ridiculous.

Also, when I was at Oval on Friday, the Indian fans were loud, loved boundaries and booed when the England fielders were near them.

The England fans got drunker as the game wore on and eventually some of them started becoming rather abusive and a few were even a bit racist.

I think that cheering of boundaries is in the spirit of the game, don't be silly to suggest it isn't, but the other stuff I've mentioned is not nice.
