What I meant was why not play only in centres that have lights ..there are many nowadays and it is better for the crowds as well

but the grounds were full in kanpur, rajkot, and indore

atleast they will get a full match barring rain and only lose half day leave

... Sir..In India. for a 2.30 PM match one lines up in front of the stadium at 11 AM

I was about to say that the Indians look flat (they do) but Cook just gave us a gift

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #83 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:33:47 AM »

Bopara should have been out as well ...Irfan had him plumb in front ...that blind Saheba

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #84 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:34:47 AM »

two lucky boundaries in IKP's over and England gets back over the 6/over mark

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #85 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:35:29 AM »

hope it is not KP's day

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #86 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:36:42 AM »

50 up in 7.3 overs .. good urgency from England ..pity it is 4 matches too late

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #87 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:48:36 AM »

and zaheer gets bopara .. immediately after he was dropped by sehwag

england have got a brisk start and bat deep ...lets see whether they can build on this

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #88 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:50:04 AM »

Colly in. Why not Shah??

Batting practice for tests, I guess.

broadbat · « **Reply #89 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:55:06 AM »

England's middle order has been weak. Shah is there to bolster it I guess. Also gives Colly some time to play himself in.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #90 on:** November 26, 2008, 09:57:09 AM »

KP looks to be in ominous touch. Dhoni should probably have postponed the 2nd PP and got the spinners in for a few overs just in order to see whether they can get him early.

Awesome by England

13 runs scored in the second powerplay!!!

broadbat · « **Reply #93 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:25:53 AM »

It will be a test for the batsmen if Eng get to around 275.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #94 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:32:14 AM »

Anything above 260 will be a good score. Anything below 230 will be easy. In between will be very interesting. Apparently the lights here are not too good and the batsmen take a while to adjust ..and the ball should swing for the first 10-15 overs as well

Eng prolly think powerplay means power down mode

broadbat · « **Reply #96 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:57:36 AM »

Eng motoring along well now.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #97 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:58:47 AM »

I'll be very surprised if they do not get to 260-270 from here.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #98 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:59:37 AM »

Bhajji retrieves that poor over by getting Colly out!

justforkix · « **Reply #99 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:02:10 AM »

Need a BIG 100 from KP

justforkix · « **Reply #100 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:05:44 AM »

Oops - Freddie GONE for DUCK !!!

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #101 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:14:25 AM »

Freddie gets me a -20

... so far ...hope he recovers that with the ball

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #102 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:14:59 AM »

Ishant bowling well

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #103 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:16:32 AM »

England normally takes the batting PP at this point (34th over) ...Colly and Freddie going in quick succession may have affected their plans somewhat

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #104 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:18:53 AM »

Very good spell from Yuvi so far .. 9 overs for 36 runs. I hear Yogi clearing his throat for another interview

justforkix · « **Reply #105 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:19:05 AM »

KP confused as to what to do after those 2 quick wkts

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #106 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:20:33 AM »

I think England are well placed unless they play brainless cricket

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #107 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:22:01 AM »

If conditions are similar to those during the challengers, we should have batted first with this attack. Ishant, Zaheer and IKP would have been a handful under lights

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #108 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:28:57 AM »

Yuvi ends with 10-0-38-0. Good bowling ..done his job.

more than done his job, given that his uselessness has 1/43 from 9

England takes PP ... going by history, it should be good for us

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #111 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:49:50 AM »

PP3 Over 1 - 5 runs

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #112 on:** November 26, 2008, 11:56:04 AM »

PP3 O1 - 5
PP3 O2 - 6

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #113 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:00:28 PM »

PP3 O1 - 5
PP3 O2 - 6
PP3 O3 - 7

Nice progress

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #114 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:05:33 PM »

there you go - 8 runs in PP3 O4

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #115 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:08:17 PM »

IKP to bowl 3 of the last five overs!

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #116 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:10:21 PM »

6 runs in the last over of PP3

Good bowling .. just 32 runs in PP3

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #117 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:19:10 PM »

KP gets his 100! Well played ..although he did slow down quite a bit towards the end.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #118 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:33:54 PM »

England forget to run on the last ball

49.6 Pathan to Pietersen, no run, slower short ball, Pietersen checks his pull shot as the edge balloons towards mid wicket, Pathan runs to catch it but can't get to it and amidst all the confusion they forget to take the singl

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #119 on:** November 26, 2008, 12:36:09 PM »

270-4. I think this is a very good total based on what I heard before the match on the pitch report and about lights and conditions. England seems to have played a bit conservatively trying to ensure that they do not fall short in the effort to be aggressive. We'll know only after India bats how good this approach was.
