Nice one mate. Cheers.

Covers off. Play at 1130! Can't wait.

TheCenturion · 21 Jul 2011 at 11:30

good first ball

shadow_boxer · 21 Jul 2011 at 11:30

Wow. First ball, fair bit of movement! India really got to make these condition work and pay!

shadow_boxer · 21 Jul 2011 at 11:35

What beauty from Praveen!

Disappointed that the stadium is only around 90-95% full. I couldn't get tickets because they were sold out, but people have tickets and are not there yet. Hmmmm

Good start by India after 3 overs. Good bowling line and a bit of movement too.

As Atherton said, it's very quiet in there. Seems very tense!

Centurion linky link please.

Yeah boiiiii

Great decision, thought height might have been an issue.

19-1

England are going to whitewash India in this series, India really are a bunch of journeymen. Their fastest bowler chucks it at like 75mph.

Caffrey · 21 Jul 2011 at 12:22

Fastest bowler is around 90MPH actually, but generally yes they are pretty slow

rotters · 21 Jul 2011 at 12:23

India eat all the pies? very sluggish in the outfield.

Firstly, I don't know where you got that from, because Ishant Sharma bowls high 80s, and as I type Zaheer just bowled an 84 mph ball.

Not only that but Indian pace bowlers have proven time and time again that it's not all about pace to get wickets. The trick of deception is very important, and Indian bowlers have a lot of it.

It's all about effort. For some reason, Indians give a lackluster fielding effort. Through the last few years, Dhoni kept saying "We have slow fielders, it can't be helped" But then in the WC final, damn that was the best fielding I've ever seen. So I don't think it's a question of ability, but Indians just don't give the effort.

lol. What a load of crap. Guessing you don't watch cricket regularly, only England at home? Journey men? World champions!

Yes, India don't have the raw pace of the England front-men they'll still consistently hit mid 80's! It takes a lot more than just pace. :rolleyes:

Slips joined at the hip...

Lol at the slips. "You couldn't fit a bus ticket between them" says David Lloyd.

Most people Oyster nowadays anyway :confused:
