1st Test: India v England, Chennai Dec 11-15 2008

[Matt23]

India by an innings, 300 will be nowhere near enough.

Especially considering England's pie thrower bowling attack (except Flintoff)

 

[TheParraboy]

jumping the gun a bit there lads, whilst prior is there 400 is possible

 

[hineyrulz]

:lol: PB spot on as usual, Poms all out 316.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

terrible shot selection by sehwag

 

[TheParraboy]

India 3/37

Swann 2/7 in his 1st over of test cricket, can he do a Krejza?
He could do very very well in this match

Dravid out for 2

 

[lockyno1]

Dravid out for 2

Again I ask why has he not been forced to retire:lol:

 

[Locky24]

India are 6/155 at Stumps

 

[lockyno1]

Well at least it might shut Gavaskar up for a while

 

[Tommy Smith]

A few people jumping the gun a little here. Saying India by an innings and England have a pop gun bowling attack.

I'd take Flintoff and Anderson over sh*tchell Johnson. And Panesar is streets ahead of any Aussie spinner so they're not that bad. A very balanced attack.

Anyway a great day for England. But i do recall Australia having India in a similar position in the first test so we need to ram home the advantage tomorrow.

 

[Twizzle]

Freddy yes, but you can have Anderson Tommy

Interesting to hear Beefy's comments when the camera was on Dravid

"there are some who said he should be dropped, but he still averages over 50 in test cricket. We'll take him if you guys don't want him"

he was a great cricketer Beefy, but that's the sort of mentality that the Aussie selectors show and dont consider recent form

How many times has Dravid let the Indians down in the last 12 months ?

Lucky they have Tendulker to rescue them all the time, like last night

 

[hineyrulz]

Well i'll remove my foot from my mouth now

 

[Matt23]

I think we all did a Moffo on the Indians :sarcasm:

 

[hineyrulz]

Yep, Poms 247 in front with 7 wickets in hand, Yeah Matt we did a Moffo........

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

india could be chasing 400on the last day

looks like its been a good test so far

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Strauss 2 centurys in the first test 123 & 102*

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

what a innings so far by Sehwag at one stage he had 46 from 24 ball with 6 4's and 2 6's

 

[JJ]

Set up nicely now - need about 260 with 9 wickets in hand... Great test!

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

terrible shame they don`t show that game in NZ. Is it broadcast online anywhere?

 

[TheParraboy]

Dravid is there 2not out, he will play the anchor role all day today

India 1/131 need 256 to win,
they should do it with 4-5 wickets and about 20 overs to spare imo...

Dravid desperately needs to - such a shame seeing such a great player struggle to the extent he is
