England v India First Test Trent Bridge
First topic message reminder :
The 5 test series cramped into a 42 day schedule gets underway at Trent Bridge tomorrow. The 2 middling sides have a lot to prove. Hopefully we'll get to have some exciting cricket.

Superb stand while it lasted, and it has near-eradicated any chance of defeat.
A free shot at India now. Whilst the draw is an overwhelming favourite to be the end result, a couple of early wickets will ensure the tourists are under the very greatest and heaviest of pressures, thus swinging the balance of the encounter England's way.
Bowl India out for 239 or less and...who knows?

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
Broad has looked by far the best bowler on this track - so he needs to come straight up and put the pressure on

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
End of a truly wonderful partnership. Yes , flat pitch etc etc. - and India's tail wagged too...
But this was played from a deficit of 150 odd , with a pretty new ball at the start , under a lot of pressure at first. Deserves all the accolades.
Don't expect a dramatic Indian collapse now . But the way this match has gone , I'm done predicting

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
Brilliant recovery from England. Don't you just love the twists and turns in Test cricket?
I wonder if we will see some early breakthrough when India resume.
Is that cloud cover I can see overhead? Any of the locals know whether it's building up?
Nothing like a bit of added atmosphere coming into the equation on Day 4.

Prior with another drop.
Honestly don't see why we wouldn't have Buttler in, Prior is no better if not worse than what he was in Australia

I expect to see both Buttler and Kerrigan in at some point this series Olly, Kerrigan has been around the squad during this match and Moores is a big supporter of his following his time with Lancs.

Or even come forward half a step - or even one whole step.
If it flies over the top then so be it ~ but they need to gobble up those ones which seem to be falling short.
They did the same here in Oz. Made things look awkward in the slips (than they should have been) and missed quite a few chances.

That might be a slight exaggeration , roakey
But certainly a third man might have saved rather a lot of runs in this match. Pitch so slow the edges are mostly going along the ground. Slips almost become defensive fielders
It is a wretched strip... I am thankful we had some drama last night and fun this morning. Not expecting any more.

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
two horrible captains.......mediocre bowling and flat pitch has made an excellent see-saw battle.
when one team is down the opponent captain helps them revive.
it will be a battle royale in medicority......as stated before in the series.
is this game a dead draw already..or are some twists in the tail-end of the game

Mediocre captains? Stop it already. Dhoni's won everything a captain could win in cricket, including a stint at world #1, while Cook is the first English captain to win an Ashes series without losing a test in 36 years. He's also got himself a nice win over India, in India... Again rare company for an Englishman. These guys aren't the second coming of Waugh, but mediocre?

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
Quite quirky how the three highest scores by a #11 in test cricket have all come from this ground in the last three years. Quirky mainly because it's not like the knocks came in massive innings'... None of them came in at say 560/9
Best came in at 290/9 odd
Agar 120-odd/9
Anderson 300/9...

Ind could bat 45 more, overs...get to a lead of 270, declare and bowl out Eng in 60 overs

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
well lets see, on form two very good batting sides on a dead pitch.
not sure we are going to see any more collapses- not sure i can see either team getting the other out for less than 300 at the very best.

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
atleast India cannot complain about enough practise and acclimitization time in Eng
the batsmen got time in middle and bowlers a lot of overs under the belt
that is a big positive from this test from India
biggest worry in the 11 is not Binny but Jadeja.....bowled a million overs and picked a no wickets

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
Cook tried to be "too cute" with his field placements towrds the end.
and also it wasn't bold or creative to remove ali each time he took a wicket...but rather stupid.
India's day.
why?¨
they have gone 4 days of an overseas test and look like not losing the test.
anything can happen tomm with this India team...they can lose the remaining 7 wkts in the first session and lose the test also
if Ind bat thrrouhg the first session not losing more than 3 wickets and score about 80 runs atleast.....then the game is safe

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
India's day?! You do make me laugh.
Any knowledgeable cricket fan will clearly see that this was England's day. They have all but eradicated the chance of defeat, a bitter blow to India, despite starting the day with a hundred run deficit and only one wicket remaining.
Our thankfulness must go, first and foremost, to Root and Anderson who drained anyway any leftover Indian momentum, and turned the tide England's way. At the start of the day, India were strong favourites; now their chances of a victorious start are minute.
England's hopes of a victory are slender, but do exist. It would require a magical spell in the morning and for the Indians to be knocked over before mid-afternoon.
Slender as that is, it is still a much greater chance for England than it were eight hours ago.

Re: England v India First Test Trent Bridge
Helpful track for spinners? What on earth are you talking about? No turn of any significance, no threatening bounce. Jadeja actually did the job he was supposed to do. A wicket would have been nice, but he went at just about 2 an over. In fact that is the difference between him and Ashwin, Ashwin has not been able to offer the captain that much needed control in the first innings of the game. In a 4 man attack, that is absolutely necessary. Binny isn't a test bowler, so this attack was also a 4 man one, as such, Ashwin can't be played in this combination. It had to be Jadeja, and it is Jadeja, and he did a pretty decent job. Hopefully he can get some runs tomorrow if called up on to do so.KP_fan wrote:a big applause for B.Kumar 5-82

Massive turn around by England. Even on an obnoxious track, this was remarkable from Root and particularly Anderson.
Will England's 'yes sir' skipper come out against such horrible tracks? That is an area where MSD is far far better. He has always maintained that Indian test tracks should turn from day one. He even suggested during an absolutely horrible ODI series against Australia played on national highways that the bowlers should be replaced by bowling machines on such tracks. MS also picked up a much publicized fight with Kolkata's octogenarian curator Prabir Mukherjee for putting together a slow and low track that had no life for the bowlers for the first 3 days.

This track can produce a bit of life tomorrow, and India can collapse. They lost 5-50 in the first innings, can happen again. But Shami is there!!.......
And if Virat Kohli get going tomorrow and if Rahane and Dhoni give him support, India can take the lead over 250 and may be have a 45 over go at England. England have collapsed in some such situations in the past, Jadeja can come into the party as a spinner.
A draw is more likely than other results, but the way this game has gone about, I won't rule out anything.

They've gone from strong favourites to having a very marginal chance in the space of one day.
I hardly think that qualifies them to have won the day. They will be bitterly disappointed at letting such a good chance slip, particularly so early on.

there was variable bounce and slow turn and rough...and any spinner bowling 35 overs is required to take about 2 wickets.
just because Ashwin was worse doesn't justify Jadeja not picking wickets...especially if he plays as the 4th bowler.
Ind is not limited to jadeja and ashwin only......there is Mishra and Ojha and then in the second line karn sharma,a and another leggie( whose name eludes me) and Patel and even Bhajji looming on the horizon.
Binny played as a batsman who could bowl a bit...and since the pitch turned out to be so Nagpur-ish....he was not utlized.
His batting can be judged after he gets about 5 innings.....he is under less presusre than Jadeja...because Binny is clearly the 5th bowler and Jadeja is the 4th bowler.
Jadeja better get some runs and a couple fo wickets tomm if eng bat again

Dhoni is a ultra defensive captain....in his heart of heart he would not have been expecting the position he found himself in.....Eng 200 odd for 7...and coming back from tea he was too pleased with his position and removed the foot of the pedal.
No one of true Indian cricket followers was expecting India to win........but many would not have been surprised had we lost....so a drawn first test is not a bad start.
Now hopefully we will not collapse in the morning hour and ensure atleast a draw.
In the best case Ind can declare with about 55 overs to go and give Eng about 250 runs ( at 5rpo) to chase and see if we can win psychological advantage.
But that's too far away....let's not crash in the first hour tomm

Draw nailed on really, both teams had chances to take hold of the game and let them go. Symptoms of two sides who aren't on good runs

That may well have been the case at the start of the Test, but I do greatly assure you that at the start of today the majority of cricket fans, Indian or otherwise, would have been anticipating an away win.
Such a golden chance has now all but disappeared, and the aforementioned cricket fans will have been largely surprised. Some of whom will be disappointed, others joyous.
