England :clap:
"I yam verrmuch froud of you" level performance in the second innings.
I thought Ozza will be the MoM. He bowled exceedingly well.
Puj played a good knock in comfortable conditions (Bellish?). And influenced the ease of victory.
But the win as such was brought about by Ojha.
Highly impressive phlow.

arumai'yaa!
Pitch was so flat during the last 2 days - Looking at the way Sehwag and Pujara blasted Swann & Patel (annan motha ball full toss pottaru!).
We need to wait and see how english players handle spin and turn in the next match. Looking at their first innings performance, looks like they can't.
And Boycott and Ian C are good in technical analysis of any match. Gavaskar and Ravi are irritating a lot these days. They are no way near the first two.
For those who want a good laugh at England before the second test begins - http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/andyza...s_or_strat.php
Every line oozes satire and sarcasm :lol:
Viru plays his 100th test tomorrow!!!
Will the team make it special??
2nd Test, Mumbai
Pitch report. Ravi Shastri almost wants to put on the whites and start to bowl spin on this. He and Sunil Gavaskar say the grass on the pitch is to just keep England from getting demoralised. This pitch is going to crumble, they say. Shastri says Dhoni might have finally got what he wanted
Toss MS Dhoni has won the toss and India will bat. Big surprise: India have deemed this pitch good enough for spin to include Harbhajan Singh in place of Umesh Yadav, who has a sore back. Oh boy. This tells me there is going to be a whole lot of turn here. And bounce

Well Sachin's gone. Again trying to play across. Good delivery though
disappointed again! :(
Yuvi gone. India 119/5
India tested by their own weapon.. :)
I don't want to jinx him but Pujara :notworthy: Look forward to watching you play for a long time ahead
Two good spinners for England and a couple of good one's for India as well. The batting and how they handle spin will decide the fate of this match.
England a tleast can present good spinners. If this is the type of wicket that will be prepared in the future, I wonder how it will be for Australia whose best domestic spinners average 60 in the first class arena
Gambhir is a walking wicket. I'm so disappointed with Dhoni as well. Yuvi is a no-no in tests. High time we get Rahane, Tiwary and Saha/DK into the Test team and start grooming them.
Ashwin should play higher......ethanai vaati solradhu! :sigh2:

Pujara :clap: kalakkittimmA... his onside flick is a delight to watch...
Ashwin seems to bat well whenever the going gets tough for others, at this rate he can come before Dhoni in tough conditions.
ashu :clap:
Ravichandran, en peru :smokesmirk:
Pujara :notworthy:
Selectors - Plis pack off Gambhi from ODI team.....Sehwag and Sachin will open, bring Pujara at 3. He needs to be given enough international exposure.....Tests alone is simply not enough. No need for T20, he hasn't done enough justice to his IPL team as well, which is a good sign!
Completely agree with Pujara for ODI's. Infact he has an equally impressive list A record. Gambhir living on borrowed time and failure in the England home series will be curtains.Quote:

Funny how sometimes your most trusted strategy goes against you. Dhoni's insistence on turners almost backfired today. Thankfully Cheteshwar Pujara and Ashwin averted it. They are still not out of the woods though.
Do not know where to post this video. Since this is the main thread for the current time, am posting this.

India 2 down in second innings. Even a test match victory is enough for England to collar thooki vittufying. Sachin please save this test match for us :notworthy:. The only guy I can trust now in Indian test cricket team.
The English spinners making the Indian ones look like novices here.

From the Indian pov, it is good to see Gambhir getting some runs. As for their bowling effort, I would say it was ordinary considering how well the English spinners have bowled on this wicket. Always thought that turners were a double edged sword and the Indian performance with the bat has just proved me right.
Good show by England and a nice come back. More than batting, we should really blame our bowlers who aren't able to take advantage of this track.
Sehwag's 100th test - Goyintha Goyintha!!
Gambhir, Sehwag, Sachin, Kohli - The opening and middle order failed miserably in this test except Wall's first innings score!
Excellent performance from England. They are proving now that they can also shine in Indian soil and challenge India.
