India Test Series thread

[Hazzman]

Anyone ever turned up on the day for a fifth day of a test match? How early would I need to be there?

I have tomorrow off and fancy it but I really need a good kip tonight. Any advice.

Also I assume Stanmore would be full by 9am on Monday.

I remember going down to see the Lords NZ test in about 2004, Nasser's last test where he hit a ton on the last day. I arrived after the start of play and got in.

There were a fair few Kiwis in the crowd but I reckon the Indians will be up for this. There is a chance of a Sachin ton after all.

Hazzman, they've just announced on talksport, all sold out. If you're not in, you won't get in.
Hope you're in, should be a great days cricket.

 

[Billyjof]

Tendulkar dropped, then Jimmy has him trapped lbw. 5 more wickets to get.

 

[Jeff]

Almost there, 260-9

 

[Jeff]

England have won.

 

[H T B]

A very good performance allround.

 

[Billyjof]

All set up for test No 2. Zaheer is out, maybe Tremlet as well for us. If England are to win against the number one team I'd like to see them beat their strongest side.

A few on here are going? Hope the weather is favourable.

 

[Scodger Cubs]

Just grabbed a ticket for Monday - hope the weather holds off!

 

[Ian Marshall]

Its not been a great start for England. 2 down. Strauss and Pieterson there now.

93 for 6

Could be worse as well, I gather a couple of the LBWs turned down looked very very good shouts and that Bell was put down in the slips.

Sounds like the ball is really moving around. Hope Anderson and Bresnan can get it moving - as it will suit them.

Remember - we don't know a par score till the Indians have had a bat too....

 

[Ian Marshall]

117-7.

Bresnan gone.

I haven't seen much of Bresnan batting - but is he really above Swann on merit?

Bresnan gone.

He is more of an allrounder than Swann but hasn't yet shown as much in tests. But Swann has been very much off the boil recently.

Good counter attack with Broad today though, edging towards 200.

 

[Jeff]

England 221 all out. Broad top scorer with 64.

 

[Mawsley]

Really looking forward to tomorrow - hope we cut through their batting order before the Wolf Blass & Pimms kicks in

 

[CM]

Bad toss to lose. I expect India to get a decent first innings lead.

Think we'll need to bat quite well second time around.

 

[Billyjof]

India looking comfortable. Should reach our total with ease.

 

[CM]

A bit of a fight back, Broad with three quick wickets with the new ball. If we get them out for under 300 then we're right back in this.

 

[CM]

Broad hat trick, nice.
