Re: India v England, 2nd Test, Mumbai, 23-27 November, 2012

Garbagecan gone in the 2nd over of the day.

Well played Eng and you deserve every bit of success in this test. Swann and Monty by far outbowled 'famed' Indian spinners. Ashwin especially I think is so overrated that its not funny.

327 was very good total in the circumstances and Ashwin and Bhajji in particular proved how inferior they're in front of Eng spinners.

Sweeping on a pitch with a lot of bounce. Good thinking by Zaheer.

by Henry Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:21

Ooh, horrible shot from Zaheer with Gambhir battling away at the other end.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:21

As for Tendulkar, surely this was his last ever innings at his home ground and his last ever test series for us. Sad, but all good things come to an end and even Tendulkar is no exception to that.

Blink an eye and that's two gone.

9 down.

by baggygreen Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:21

Khan with a lollipop straight up and its caught by Prior. Monty has 6for and only one wicket needed.

Aus could take some pointers on how to close a match, even if it is oranges/apples.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:22

I'd lay blame more at Gambhir's door. He just doesn't know how to farm strike with tail.

Selfish really from him.

by furriner Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:23

Zaheer- how many Tests has he played and still he tries a shot like that?

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:23

And this happens again. Gambhir couldn't get a single and Ojha will be on strike for next over.

by PeterCS Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:24

Rearguard action needed with GG.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:26

I shudder to think what would've happened had Eng used their brains and played Monty in the first test as well.

Our batting has become really dire now with lots of deadwood.

Aye, Gambhir deserves criticism for Zaheer's dismissal, and when Ojha goes because of this red inking. Still a desperately poor shot.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:28

This is selfishness of the highest order from Gambhir.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:30

Still a desperately poor shot.

Zaheer has been dire as a bat for quite some time now and his harakiri should not come as a surpise to anyone.

by furriner Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:31

Lolwut, that was dead out.

by tricycle Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:31

Dar has been shite in this series.

by Henry Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:31

FFS, that's a shocker from Aleem Dar.

by baggygreen Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:34

Aleem Dar doesn't want this test to end. Rolling Eyes

by Henry Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:37

Overrated Umpire. Now watch these two somehow scrape a 40 run partnership together.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:38

Extremely poor umpiring from Dar in this series. Even Ashocker is better than Dar is in this series.

by furriner Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:38

Gambir - ya qunt farm the strike, FFS.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:38

Looks like he is still sulking at not being given umpire of the year award.

by SG Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:39

What a moron this man Gambhir is. Should be a goner from Indian team on this basis alone.

by Henry Mon 26 Nov 2012, 04:45

And Tony Hill evens up Aleem Dar's mistake, giving Gambhir LBW after he inside edges onto his pad. England need 57. Surely........
