Having learnt English for 28 now 29 years, I feel it is such a 'deep language' that you forever keep learning. I don't think you can ever say "I know everything about the English language'

Currently reading '1984' by George Orwell
|
|
By:
Orwell's too depressing.
|
|
By:
1984 is a book about totalitarian and slaves to a tyrannical regime
|
|
By:
just read 1984 actually. Gave it to an American Portfolio manager just recently, had never heard of it.
|

Anyway back to work see you guys later for the cricket tonight

Portentous is my word for the day!
I have a Sri Lankan friend who said whenever that little fella Mahela scores a 4 with his first scoring shot he gets big runs. can't see the portents today for Shikur Dhawan! |
|
By:
Orwellian nightmare here for India?
|
|
By:
I never heard of the word 'Portentous' before might have a quick check to see what it means
|
|
By:
Portentous- amazing, something signficant
|
|
By:
is there a way you can improve your English? maybe I watch too much sports, any texts you guys recommend to pick it up better, more clearly. What Im starting to value is, 'the better your English' - the better opportunities you will have in life

By:
!Les miserables, Victor Hugo Shantaram, Greg Roberts Nana, Emile Zola The 3 best books I have ever read but 1984 is a masterpiece and unfortunately portentous! |
|
By:
I'd say more dark foreboding West Coast but then I am not an English scholar! but yes something significant too.
|
|
By:
India must be a good lay price right now, especially if you have already bought them.
|
|
By:
watch Les Miserables great movie the one with Russell Crowe, Jackman also a version in the 60's . Read the book as well
|

By:
think Ind are short as there bowlers will probably struggle 2nd dig
|
|
By:
*their
|
|
By:
why are NZ 3.9? should be 10's
|
|
By:
Pitch is drying out and India clear of immediate danger. They should rack up a big score tomorrow as it gets faster and have plenty of time to bowl NZ out second up.
|
|
By:
laying india at 1.4 purely on the basis they only have 3 seamers second innings and khan looks pedestrian
|
|
By:
that looked like a no ball to me! they never give those!
Laying India at 1.4 if you have already backed them makes good sense to me purely for Health Insurance but I don't fancy NZ coming back from here although it is still early days |
|
By:
I just think that in the 2nd NZ inns India will trade above 1.4. It would only need a decent opening p'ship to move it quite quickly. Look at Aus yesterday. Finished their inns at 2.5. After 1 over, they were 3.1!! We all know what happened after that but the trade was there if u were on the ball!
|
|
By:
Only one outcome I think. India win.
Fancy them to get 350-400 and then have 2 days at NZ. |
|
By:
if NZ score around 350 in their 2nd innings,,Draw ll come short then currently trading at 10
|
|
By:
this deck could go real flat
|
|
By:
No KP this summer but at least we have Dharwan to watch!
|
|
By:
deck might be flat but the ball is now swinging!
|
|
By:
My apologies to Richard Kettleborough for both those decisions! I thought he bottled both but was right!
|
|
By:
yeh, good stuff. I was laying India based on NZ 2nd dig but could work for me in this innings if this swing carries on
|
|
By:
4 more wickets in the next 100 runs and this get interesting!
|
|
By:
night watchman is one of the worst ideas in cricket
|
|
By:
Pujara is a limpet after he has gone Kiwi bowlers have a chance with all India's stroke makers. India lay was good shout. Even more annoyed at missing the toss now!
|
|
By:
its been a good trading day. I missed out to a certain extent messing about with innings runs. Almost got myself in a pickle. Giving that up as a bad job from now on! Focus on the game more
|
|
By:
10 overs short, disgusting!
|
|
By:
you could lay India at 1.40 and take a saver on the draw at 11's?
|
|
By:
Dhoni will get bannned again!
![]() India warming up nicely for England! I wonder if they have the back bone to drop Zak for Kumar B. They will need another seamer in England too, maybe Yadav. They will have to drop a batsman later in the summer, maybe Vijay with Rahane to open so the 4th seamer spot opens up. |

Match moving along. Could be over day 3.
