England Versus India - 1st Test (9 Nov - 13 Nov)

[alfie]

New man in ; and Vijay must be getting weary. But England really need to grab a couple more this evening to get back on terms.
Still 250 ahead. So a couple of quick wickets would perhaps get the Indian dressing room a bit jumpy.

Not sure anyone is going to be able to summon the inspiration at the end of a tough day . Broad has been good , I think. But he doesn't look as if he's going to have one of those magic spells on this...

Because much more of our overs are bowled by seamers

Still no excuses when 40% of overs are bowled by spin.

[Dr Cricket]

actually spin bowled 52 over and pace 50, so you wrong on that point.

not sure being able to bowl 90 overs in india is an excuse.
you can make that lame excuse in england and other parts of the world but not india where spinners do bulk of the work.

It's understandable and excusable in subcontinent conditions.

really when india and other sides bowl 90 overs easily and england could barely bowl 85.
india bowls around 93-94 overs a day.
so funny the lame excuses english fans make to accept pathetic things.
Actually laughable when they complain when the opposition are slow in england or anywhere when england are the slowest team to bowl overs, not heard one word yet from the english comms embarrassing really.
