Lol, I just happened to wake up early for some random reason. Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Ant040689 on November 25, 2012, 10:50:49 AM really didnt expect this.
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on November 25, 2012, 10:55:34 AM Immense stuff!
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on November 25, 2012, 11:11:30 AM Monty 10 wickets!
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: TightEnd on November 25, 2012, 11:13:16 AM Monty Panesar only 2nd English spinner to take a 10wkt haul in India after Hedley Verity (11/153) at Chennai 1934
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Doobs on November 25, 2012, 11:15:18 AM The Indian batsmen have clearly got a weakness against spin.
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on November 25, 2012, 11:17:09 AM The Indian batsmen have clearly got a weakness against spin. They are just under pressure that's all, we pretty much never get a lead after the first innings so that's why we fail so often in India. Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: tikay on November 25, 2012, 11:17:28 AM The Indian batsmen have clearly got a weakness against spin. Oh to be on England at over 5/1.........;) Nice one Doobsy.

They are just under pressure that's all, we pretty much never get a lead after the first innings so that's why we fail so often in India. Apologies, tongue was very much in cheek when I wrote that. Boycott has called this from the start. He said that our spinners are better than theirs. He has been chirping about it ever since. Assuming we can hold here, next one a draw? Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: mondatoo on November 25, 2012, 01:09:44 PM Tremendous from England in the cricket, 4th day will start at 4am right ? might stay up and watch it. Cook the best batsmen England ever had ? Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake?

He will break all the England batting records. Cook and KP both hit record equaling 22nd century this morning. Cook could get 40+ Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake?

Post by: buzzharvey22 on November 26, 2012, 03:48:19 AM so so impressed with monty, super stuff
the team needs a kickstart, weve been poor the last 15 months or so Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on November 26, 2012, 03:52:03 AM Up early to watch :-)
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: mondatoo on November 26, 2012, 04:28:51 AM Good to see Panesar doing well again after his legendary Cardiff performance.
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on November 26, 2012, 05:33:46 AM Dare we dream about a possible series win?
Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: nirvana on November 26, 2012, 06:29:32 AM Dare we dream about a possible series win? Posted in the first test that I don't fancy this Indian batting line-up (didnt quite work out there), bowling isn't exceptional by any stretch. Think we have every chance although a drawn series would be pretty good there, especially after the lousy start Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Tal on November 26, 2012, 08:18:36 AM 7/2 England to win the series available.
Won't be taking that myself, mind. Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Woodsey on December 06, 2012, 09:40:26 AM Chirp :)

Post by: Woodsey on December 07, 2012, 10:50:53 AM Nah, just really want that elusive win in India. Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: Tal on December 07, 2012, 10:53:01 AM Should India have allowed Cook to stay in? He was just getting out of the way of the throw.
Not convinced myself, admittedly Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: mondatoo on December 09, 2012, 04:12:06 AM Never easy!

Great performance from England in this series, hope they hold in the last test for a much deserved series win, can't wait for the Ashes next year. Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: BorntoBubble on December 09, 2012, 04:33:04 AM This morning's poker hand equivalent.
You have got it in Ahrt Ac v Kh Kd. Firs card out Ad second card out Qd for mini flush straight sweat third card out Aspades then the 2c on the turn and india are drawing dead! Common the boys! Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: BorntoBubble on December 09, 2012, 04:34:29 AM Ha, ez game. Great performance from England in this series, hope they hold in the last test for a much deserved series win, can't wait for the Ashes next year. To be 2-1 up in the series after losing 3 coin flips in a row is impressive. If we can win the toss and bat on the final test we have a great chance of going 3-1 up! Ashes next year will be epic as we are going to wipe the floor with them aussies! 5-0! Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake? Post by: craigbetts on December 14, 2012, 05:09:54 AM Good start this morning by Prior and Root, hats off to Root for his fiddy.
Earlier in the session when Root switched his lid to a cap, Bumble chirps up 'is that legal, lads only about 14, ECB regs say he needs a helmet'. Class! Title: Re: Any cricket fans awake?
