This test match is already lost by Indian players, look at their dropped shoulders & failed body language. Maybe Dhoni won the Sportsmanship test but his captaincy failed miserably on 3rd day. Over 100 runs were scored in third-man area and still no fielder was placed there whole day. You could see frustration on Ishant's face staring Dhoni when he was hit for fours in third-man region.

Khan you must be kidding. Indian batsmen's current form is not capable for fighting rest 2 days play.
@surya das, Hari N. Don't you worry guys. Have some attitude. India actually won the Lord's Test, and is going to win this one too: by lunch time today.

IF DON'T TRUST ME JUST TYPE NOTTINGHAM 10 DAY'S WEATHER REPORT ON GOOGLE YOU WILL GET THE REPORT IN ONE SEC.
EVERY TEAM IN WORLD PUTS THEIR BEST PLAYERS for test. INDIA PUTS most politically acceptable players. Most politically acceptable players being political players acceptable to political captain, etc. etc.
where is RP singh, Pragyan and Rohit. What happened to R P Singh who did so well against England, Pragyan Ojha who credit was all slurped by politically savvy Amit Mishra and Dhoni friend harbhajan, Pragyan can improve on fitness if selector paid attention. Same story for Rohit.
MOST CUNNING RACE IN THE WORLD, THE cunning england started the series with Test to get used to indian bowling to NOW PLAY T20, they did not start PLAYING with INDIA WITH T20 or 1 dayer. OTHERWISE, ENGLAND UPPER HAND IN BOWLING WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY. extra cunning as alwayS, england are blaming full DRS not being there to cheat on LBWs and snicks. EXTRA CUNNING AS ALWAYS, engalnd is playing with Dutch and Irish origin players.
LBWs are not given out and DRS is forced due to umpires intentional faults when 6 cameras (from both teams, 6 each) could suffice to review the replay. 2-4 of those camera can be high speed with high resolution. These cameras can be from japan, korea and even china.

india has to keep videshi spy coach. Apart from regular means by videshi with multi-billion budget to spy and media inject all over India by making political and business kickback brokers. why dont they conduct election by players to elect desi coach. each desi coach can contest.

typical indian mentality, same like indian politicians who are only good for blaming others and not doing anything good... since india is losing badly you guys are getting angry and coming with all craps that players are from diff country etc....indian football also used to have guys from african countries, so what is your say on that?

I do agree. May be our slow starters should start with one dayers and t20's and then move towards Tests.
Friends we can blame every member of the team, we can blame IPL etc etc but we never do is ask ourselves, how much we love cricket which is the reason why there is so much cricket. In such circumstances what we need is a better strategy of reserves for bowlers. There are different body muscles used in bowling as opposed to batting. Bowlers cannot play every IPL match and every test and every one day. So we must create a reserve and use interchangably. In baseball a pitcher does not play every game. What is needed is to think differently. I still do not think that this English team is superior to us. They have just planned better and we should do the same when they come to India.

Well.... Let me ask you why you even worry. Indians want oneday glory and they love IPL. so they get it. you get what you ask for. BCCI knows it. they also know fooolish IPL is good to keep the so called indian fan happy, and make money for all stakeholders. Else explain why you lost key players like sehwag, why SRT opted IPL instead of Tests in West indies (no wonder he is not in the right frame of mind to play test cricket). Why there are no promising youngsters of Test Calibre..
Tendulkar please step down !!!! for the country sake please take responsibility and step for you are not contributing anything. Please dont let us down !!!
I still dont understand why Ishant cannot bowl in good length areas. Today again he bowled short,overpitched etc. There is not that much good length deliveries like Broad bowled who uses bounce and pace like Ishant.

Like lords, now ishand will come and say, our openers will do the job for us, no need for others to bat!! what a pity. They bowled, fielded and batted badly and even srilanka played better than India against england in a much tougher conditions. What a pity, the no 1 cash rich team is playing club cricket!!
I think once Sehwag comes back, English people will be on the back foot. Because no in the world can unsettle best of the bowlers like Sehwag does as he is modern Bradman. He always has been true warrior and champion who never goes on defensive and believes in only two results loss or win and never believes in going on defensive and playing for draw.
Anyhow, now that the warrior sehwag is not in the team and considering we have big score to win, forget about the win as india will lose by becoming defensive in pursuit of draw.
Re: Sehwag - Needs to be back
by Aishrya R on Aug 01, 2011 07:45 AM
you are talking a lot abt Sehwag, he is a good player... but he doesn't play in all the matches... so don't talk as if he can score century in every match and win... in that case how was his performance in WC against good teams?... so don't tell that india is losing Sewag is not there.. it is a team game, you guys would have told same thing if Sachin was not there, how many runs he scored this series? so don't forget that this is team game and an individual can only influence,but can't along change the whole game
drunkard gang and oldies are now playing. Drunkard cannot do good all the time.
....And Angrez played T20 at will ...field placement was not intelligent, same with bowling. Since india trails, can they play t20 at will.
Ian Bell decision - within spirit of game, LBWs are not given out and DRS is forced due to umpires intentional faults when 6 cameras (from both teams, 6 each) could suffice to review the replay. 2-4 of those camera can be high speed with high resolution.
