Anything being said about the slow over rates?

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:02

I don't know as all I can see in the media is "Poor old us (India) we're tired, that's why England are winning".

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:13

There's a bit of a tonkgasm and out situation going on. A more selfish chappie could've blocked his way to a ton. Not the Pri-man.

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:38

54 off 8 overs - that's better than the ODI side most of the time. Nutters.

Well their seamers are going to be even more tired now that Harbhajan has killed them off.

They mentioned how poor themselves had lost the magical Bhajji (5.22 rpo, 0 wickets) to injury and had to put on the sh!tty part-timers who leaked runs (4.17rpo, 1 wicket) that Bhajji wouldn't have.

Which media is this? The Indian Times?

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:52

Just on Cricinfo. Bit of a 'well done England, but here's a list of whinges'.

by taipan Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:55

So declaration when Bresnan gets his ton, or at lunch?

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:58

They're already winkling on the part-timers. May as well just go 'ultra-tonk' if Bresnan passes the century mark.

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:58

TWO DLFS IN A ROW!

Or when Broad get his ton?

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:02

Reckon they'll declare if they get up to a 500 lead.

I might be inclined to keep them out until lunch to tire and demoralise them and totally knacker the bowlers.

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:05

Yeah, it depends who the bowlers are, there's one part-timer on already. They may just give up the ghost and hope for a declaration.

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:11

Broad out, silly running.

by taipan Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:12

Declare now.

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:12

Oh nooooooooo, not Bressy Lad. Not on 90 again! Ohhh T-Bres! Ohhhhhhh Bresno, California!

by JKLever Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:13

Well... that was utter carnage. Feel sorry for Bres - been out in the 90's twice now!

by skully Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:13

So India to chase down 500 with ease, or shut up shop for a day and two thirds?

by doctorspin Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:14

Farkin collapso SACK.......COOK........NOW!!!!!!!

Stoopid captaincy

by Brass Monkey Mon 01 Aug 2011, 12:16

Haven't seen much but apparently it's been doing a bit. If they can bat this out (without needing rain to help) it will be a gargantuan effort!

No need for rain, England are doing their best to help them waste some time by blocking. Time to hit out or declare.

Aye, game's going nowhere with this partnership. Dire!
