Just getting my predictions in early.

England lose the toss and India put them in.

England post 197.

India win in 36 overs.

Flintoff's leg falls off.

India hasn't lost an ODI at Lords since that infamous Gavaskar's 36* off don't know how many balls in WC'75, when they had to chase 334 set by Eng in 60 overs.

Since then India has played 4 ODIs here and won all 4 of them, with 2 of their most famous ODI wins, first one being WC'83 final and second one being Natwest trophy final in '02 chasing 324.

Also its last chance for Tendulkar to register a ton in an int'l match at unofficial home of cricket. Though he did score 125 here in Diana Memorial match in '98 facing Donald and McGrath, but that was unofficial match.

Freddie's back.

Cook dropped and Wright to open - thats a fair enough call

India win toss and bat.... arse

Need to break the pesky opening partnership early or its 320 here we come again.

An opportunity to make good use of early conditions with the ball. Jimmy-devastating or dire? Where is the Dello Cycle postioned ATM?

Well, not a bad start there, nearly gets the Lord first ball with a short pitched one.

India has won all 3 matches in this series whenever this pair has raised 100+ runs for the 1st wicket.

Both Tendulkar and especially Ganguly very lucky so far.

by doctorspin Sat 08 Sep 2007, 10:46

About FARKIN time. Lord Gangers charmed life is ended for 15.

26-1

Yeah. Jimmy bowling well. Broad too. Could be a couple down at least.

Appeal for an LBW, not given.

Testing image placement, let's see if this 'cricket positions' link works:

Freddie being tonked by Tendulkar.

GODIM!!!

52-2

Mad pace by Jimmy. Quite amazing how he's changed back from being a dobber.

by doremi Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:22

Shit.

by Brass Monkey Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:22

Goo on Flintstein.

by filosofee Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:22

Dravid given out, Flintoff got lucky.

by filosofee Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:23

Booing from the crowd on Dravid's exit. Can't the umpire change his mind, as one did with Collingwood's run out in the last ODI?

by doctorspin Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:24

GODIM!!!!

Dravid GGGGAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

53-3

Silly.

by Winkle Spinner Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:32

Snicko suggesting there was a slight nick.

by doctorspin Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:33

Snicko suggests contact with the bat on Dravid's dismissal.

Good decision.

Hotspot suggested it as well.

Fine edge, but an edge is an edge.

Silly.

You mean, the umpire who changed his decision in the last match was silly?

by Invader Zim Sat 08 Sep 2007, 11:34

Well this game is a 'final'. India won't win.
