4th Test: India v England at Nagpur Dec 13-17, 2012

hahahahaha

cheating scum Dhoni is.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I love how the Indians have prepared a really dodgy wicket for this Test. Variable bounce on the first morning. Quite disgraceful, rather like Dharmasena's umpiring. A law unto themselves.

And yet they've only gone in with one seamer. They're lucky that Finny is injured. Still, Bresnan and Jimmy should have a field day on this wicket.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Scoring rate of 1.93 an over with Trott and Pieterson's SR 36 apiece. If I was an English selector I would drop them both.

And if the ICC had any beans they would hammer the BCCI about preparing a pitch totally unfit for test cricket. But of course that isn't going to happen.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Nope. The ICC are in the BCCI's pocket. It's a disgrace.

Rather like this wicket.

Root on 10 at tea

 

[Earl]

Ms dhoni has now been treated on the field for a neck/back injury twice. Both times play was stopped for several minutes.

This guy is a c**k of the highest order. Thinks he is the game

 

[Iafeta]

Dharmasena definitely supporting his subbie mates with the Cook decision. Horror show decision from a typical subbie umpire.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

The way India have been batting, at 5/199 England shouldn't be too down beat. If they can scrape to 320-350 then that might be a healthy first innings score. The Indian's might have doctored the wicket to suit them but last time I checked, Panesar and Swann weren't doing too bad..

 

[Earl]

It didn't even hit him in line let alone close to hitting the stumps. One of the worst I've seen in a long long time

 

[Hallatia]

because there has been DRS in all the non India matches you've seen and one like that would never be given

97 overs today, England run rate 2.07 - not good enough, sack the whole team!

 

[TheParraboy]

seems to me the powers that be want a 2-2 result here

 

[Earl]

2-2 result will be a temporary cover up of India's problems

 

[Hutty1986]

Sounds like 300 would be a very good score. Hopefully Anderson and co. run through these f*ckwits like a bad curry

 

[Earl]

Steven Finn would be so much better on this deck than Tim Bresnan

 

[Hallatia]

Finn in injured and Bresnan is a much much much better option than Broad

 

[AlwaysGreen]

What happened to Tremlett? He was a unit and a half.

 

[Earl]

He's spent the last 12 months or there abouts injured

 

[Twizzle]

he's being rotated

 

[Xfactor1979]

What happened to Tremlett? He was a unit and a half.

Like England's front row, He was part of england's line of faceless "big and ugly" fast bowlers

 

[Hallatia]

Tremlett is big but he's actually pretty attractive ... just putting that out there
