|
By:

GSM DRAW |

THIS MATCH WILL NOT END A DRAW - FACT
ball staying low, turn and that's day 1. England won't enjoy taking on 2 front line spinners in tandem as well as a few back up lads stepping in. the pitch will deteriorate as well. get laying the draw and come back on day 4 to trade out at 40+ |
|
By:
Patel just spun one. Bad mistake leaving Monty out for Bresnan especially as India may now only bat once! Too early to call a draw i think.

INDIA WILL NOT WIN THIS TEST MATCH . FACT .

INDIA WILL WIN THIS TEST MATCH. FACT!
Pitch already showing signs of wear and tear on day 1. India's spinners are gonna terrorise English batsmen during the next few days. |

On my screen it says India England starting soon and they've not put it as in play yet. Is it the same for everyone else?

90 overs is up.

Still too early to call the match. Need to see what India end up with and how much damage Indian spinners can inflcit. I am on India win above evens so more than happy at present, no hurry to lay or back the draw

D13 ridiculous pitch for a test match yet again in India
why is it ridiculous? It makes for an interesting test. India are perfectly entitled to produce whatever pitch they like, its called home advantage. give me a dusty one that turns and gives reverse swing over a colombo type ultra flat one where you get 7 wkts in 3 days.. |
|
By:
I saw a bit of the afternoon session. To see Prior standing up to Bresnan was pretty absurd.
I've played on plenty of these pitches where your wait can be back or forward depending on your mood rather than where the ball pitches. It's very easy to make runs. But and it's a massive but. You simply have to select the right bowling attack with the emphasis of course on spin with flight, variations, men around the bat, different planss etc etc. We've picked a ridiculous attack for this type of pitch AGAIN. 3 quicks, our best, now overworked spinner, and a Test part-timer.  |

at Lix,
no wonder people are not watching test match cricket in India its a boring wicket that produces boring cricket. As geoffrey says my nan could score runs with a stick of rhubarb on this wicket, I just do not see the point. |
|
By:
lets see how easy it is when its englands turn with the rhubarb
|
|
By:
d
we shall see if england score runs on this wicket before any Sir Geoff proclamations. if india get 450 and eng get 450 and the last day is a bore then I am fully supportive of your view but at the moment and given our attack compared to theirs i cannot safely arrive at the conclusion it will be a bore draw |
|
By:
when I say "their attach" i mean approach rather than the actual personnel
|
|
By:
ATTACK !!!
 |
|
By:
d13- I've seen plenty of dull tests in India but this isnt one of them. the fact that eng have picked the
wrong attack and have our best strike bowler injured doesnt mean this is a bad pitch. far from it. Ball will be turning square and taking lumps out the pitch on day 3 imo. |
|
By:
It's a different type of cricket.
You're almost better off playing one quick, one dobber and 3 spinners, one of whom being Patel. We just fail to adapt our mindset. Apart from Patel, (Bairstow at 6??), this is the same attack we'd pick on a cold day at Trent Bridge. |
|
By:
It's already keeping low and dusting up. This pitch will become a minefield. only Day 2 tomorrow.
|
|
By:
i could be wrong (probably) but England should get 500+ on this track if they bat sensibly
I just think the pace of the wicket is disappointing. it looks dead to me which for test match cricket is unacceptable imo |
|
By:
500? India will have 3 wkt taking spinners (yes Yuvi will be a threat here)
bowling on a pitch that will be turning more and more. Eng couldnt make 300 too often in UAE and SL. I see Eng getting 350-400 here but a collapse would be most un-shocking. |
|
By:
A lively pitch brings catches behind the wicket. A dull pitch brings LBWs and as Swann is showing, people getting bowled.
Caught and bowled is another likely dismissal on here (BF - market please! )As I say, it's a different type of cricket. I think we can save the game if we can keep India to 450. They've scored so quickly though and the draw price looks nervous to me. 360 overs left  |
|
By:
i dont rate the Indian spinners at all Lix
Pakistan's spin attack miles better than India's |
|
By:
500
 seriously if that happens i'll give up cricket trading for ever |
|
By:
paks spin attack is better than india's i agree but this pitch will do spin much more than the ones in
the dessert. The pitches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi didnt spin that much at all! Galle neither! eng were playing like idiots in those games sticking their pads out and getting trapped to straight balls! |
