Cricket: Test Cricket

So now there's a 2 day game. :confused:

Anyway McKenzie made 69 runs.
(IE Boodles, he is now starting to find some form, unlike Hayden :rolleyes:)


Western Australia have this guy in their team,
Full name Justin Petrus Coetzee
Born June 12, 1984, Durban, South Africa
Current age 24 years 183 days
Seem to have quite a lot of Saffers playing cricket there these days.

Be scared, be very scared.

Do you have any idea what the pitch in the IND vs ENG match is like? Normal indian dust carpet or something a bit different?

It's the one where Sehwag got 319 against us.

But not this time.

England 316
India 37/3 (14.0 ov)


2.10pm Well, well, well, what a last over. Swann becomes the first player in history to take two wickets in his first over. Amazing scenes for England, and Chennai has gone completely silent.
13.6 Swann to Dravid, OUT, what an over! This one pitches just outside off stump and turns in, Dravid pushes down the wrong line and misses to get struck on the front pad, Swann and England believe they've got their man and Swann goes red-faced in appeal before Harper slowly raises the finger
R Dravid lbw b Swann 3 (24b 0x4 0x6) SR: 12.50
13.5 Swann to Tendulkar, 1 run, spins down leg stump and he turns it towards midwicket
That ball to Gambhir pitches full and turned. Replays show it would have just hit off stump. A marginal call. Harper though it would have hit.
13.4 Swann to Tendulkar, 2 runs, off the mark with a couple, pushed off the front foot past cover
In comes Sachin Tendulkar, at arguably his favorite venue. India trail by 282. Swann, shades on, is confident after striking with this third ball.
13.3 Swann to Gambhir, OUT, Swann's struck in his first over in Tests! Gambhir is the man to go, opting to pad away a delivery tossed up full just outside off stump, he doesn't get a massive stride forward and the ball turns back to hit him, England ask the question very confidently and now Harper agrees
G Gambhir lbw b Swann 19 (43b 3x4 0x6) SR: 44.18

Good performance from the bowlers vs WA today. Steyn got 2,harris 4 ,Tsotsobe 2,Ntini and Morkel both 1.

Harris and Tsotsobe were expensive thought. Very good to see Morkel's injury isn't serious.

Bad news is bouch went of with a strained ankle in the second over so AB had to keep.
 
Looks like Stuart Clarke is out of the first test for the Aussies.
 
20 more runs of 20 overs, 6 wickets in hand, Tendulkar on 88, Yuvraj on 81
 
BTW did anyone see that clark is out of the series (or atleast out of the first test)?
 
looks like the captaincy is starting to affect kp's batting!
talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory... go india go! i mean are on hair trigger when it comes to pressing the self-destruct button in tests.
