To be expected tbh

It is the land of Bucknor we are playing and we were screwed more times by him than anyone

i think the decision by india to veto DRS in the series against england is a joke. should be used in all forms of the game. does more good then harm.

Harbhajan has 47 off 39 balls

He came in when India were 80 odd for 6.

But did he do what other boring ass Test players would do and block every single ball?

Fuck no.

That is why India are the best in the world and will beat England with their first choice team 4-0

Raina and Mishra in the middle

I agree. But it must be said that BCCI - who are the ones who veto'd it - do not represent the views of the players. Tendulkar, for example, wants DRS as long as it involves everything (hotspot and snickometer). I don't know why BCCI don't want it but they're the financial power of cricket right now and can pretty much make other countries do what ever they want. An India tour generates the most money for every country. It will bring England more money per Test than the Ashes. So BCCI can dictate the terms. Of course it's wrong though.

246 all out, India. Pathetic batting. Tailenders still pissing themselves with 90mph Fidel Edwards spraying it like a hosepipe. Fucking pussies. If Gavaskar was dead, he'd be turning in his grave.

England squads in full:

Twenty20: Stuart Broad (captain), Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Michael Lumb, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, Chris Woakes, Luke Wright.

One-Day Internationals: Alastair Cook (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott, Chris Woakes.

No Prior or Collingwood which is the main talking point

WI 40-2

Sharma with both wickets

[Cripps_orig]

106-5

Kumar got the other 3 wickets.

Chanderpaul is still there though

[Syn]

Praveen Kumar taking these 3 wickets is a bit like Djemba-Djemba scoring a hat-trick.

Such a shit bowler, but keeping it simple on a difficult wicket.

154-8

Sharma got his 3rd wicket and Harbhajan got in on the act with 2 wickets including Chanderpaul
