Thought it was a pretty tight match for most of it, if anything India's first inning total was around 80-90 short but apart from that it was very tight. The bowlers had the conditions in their favour so was very hard to bat on, even Pietersen was saying the morning was hardest session he had ever played through but when the sun came out in the afternoon he battered India senseless. Well played Dhoni as well, a very different innings as he likes the big 'bollywood' shots but had to dig in and an innings like this is one the most important he will play.
Hopefully get some good weather for the 2nd match.

Up yours Tendulkar and Dravid

Rosbif said:Tbh who is worried about not having Harmison around? Have we all forgot that he did absolutely nothing against the Windies? I'm not worried at all ... Tremlett is a decent bowler, Anderson blows hot and cold but has been bowling well lately ... Sidebottom, Panesar are quality ... not worried at all ... they'll be better than this Indian tripe
