I thought India just won the WC, and used to be No 1 Test side, now they have turn to shit in the space of 9 months...
Not much different from the India side of 90's when Tendulkar used to get out and the rest will follow him like a pack of cards. However, hopefully this is just terrible for *fingers crossed* :nervous:

:lol: at us.

I know we've got an insane amount of injuries but we've been absolutely appalling during this tour. Can't wait for this to get over so we can regroup and get back on track.

Glad that they have managed to put something on the scoreboard. A good start by Indian bowling lineup and this could get interesting.

Good comeback from India really. Better to see a game than a whitewash.

Finally some action in the last few overs. Proud of the recovery the boys have made.

44 off the last 3 overs, messed up Anderson's bowling figures.

Still think we ought to make this with overs to spare...
Fair enough! The form England is in you prediction is a real possibility :(

I just heard the commentators say - some guy from India called Viren Arun that can bowl up to 95mph :eek:

Apparently good wicket taker too and decent average... any of you heard of him?

I've heard he bowls at 90 mph consistently. But given how wonderfully we take care of our pacers I wouldn't be surprised if a year at the international level turns him into a 75-80 mph bowler.

I don't know if the English people here are aware but Munaf Patel used to bowl at 90 mph when he broke into the team. He actually made his very impressive debut against England in test matches and his speed has been on the downhill since. Now he's a friggin medium pacer :lol:

You just have to laugh at our luck in this series. Indians are on top, bowlers bowling well, Rain interrupts again!

Munaf should honestly be kicked out of this team.

Why didn't Ashwin play the tests? Looks atleast 200 times better than Harbhajan.
Limited overs specialist. Not sure how he'd do in tests.. probably better than Harbhajan.

Ashwin needs to be given time, he's been poor when playing for India, but in the IPL he regularly gets good batsmen out(Gilchrist, Gayle, etc). After Malinga, he's the best T20 bowler in the world.

Steve Finn looks like a terrific prospect. Bowling regularly near 95mp/h too,

Swann was poor with the Rahane outside edge chance. I think India may win this game.

I just don't think he's that quick
What sort of speeds has it been saying for Broad and Anderson?

Normal speeds for Anderson and Broad. Around the 130-135(km/h) consistently.
