dAVe80 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 So when can we start saying England are the number 1 cricket team in the world? We have to win the series by two clear Tests. So England have win the next Test, or not lose the next two, to be number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 yeah, that's India done - wouldn't be surprised to see something of a collapse in the second session, either way I expect they'll be out by the end of the day for around 200 odd. well, not exactly remotely close to being an outlandish prediction but 5 wickets down for 60 odd runs is collapsy enough for me. will be aiming for the lower end of '200-odd' mind though it seems...

theunderstudy Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The second innings batting from England was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The second innings batting from England was something else. Too true. Was scored at quite a rate aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 yes it seems india's fielding was generally abysmal from what I've read and that certainly didn't help. 150 runs down at third man apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yep. Broad MotM. 108 runs, 8 wickets and a hattrick. Remember his first innings basically kept us alive too, he came in at 120 odd for 6. Not bad for a player who many thought should have been dropped at the start of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Said before, I remember back in the day when I was at school and we were crap, I had a lot of Pakistan and India fans in my class and school who ripped the piss out of me (although, when it came to cricket they loved me...teehee) so seeing us like this now is just amazing for all the crap we went through, low scores, crap players, poor performances for years we now do things the way Australia did for so long - and it must be so frustrating for our opponents. I was invited to play cricket in a few weeks for a charity match, wish I had said yes but I am worried I don't have it anymore!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's the age of our players that's most promising. Australia, South Africa have aging squads and their younger players aren't looking ready to step up. India soon to lose Tendulka, Dravid, Laxman.. Pakistan young players not quite stepping up and continually changing their team around. England : Broad, 25 Bresnan, 26 Cook, 26 Finn, 22 Anderson, Bell and Tremlett, 29 Then we have the likes of Keiswetter, 22, to come through still. This is not only a fantastic team, but it's a team who will have many many years playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
