Third Test, Mumbai

Rahul Dravid has won the toss and sent England in on a pitch with a bit of green tinge to it. Flintoff said he would have batted anyway. England are 14/0 early on.

England: Strauss, Bell, Shah, Pietersen, Collingwood, Flintoff (c), Jones (wk), Hoggard, Udal, Anderson, Panesar

India: Sehwag, Jaffer, Dravid (c), Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Dhoni (wk), Pathan, Kumble, Harbhajan, Sreesanth, Patel

I must have missed something. Why isn't Cook playing?



Oh, sorry, just found out he has a stomach bug.
 
Re: Cricket

Yes. Another question: why does there appear to be no OBO on the Guardian website? Did that Cockney Red bloke sleep in again? ???
 
Re: Cricket

South Africa going at snails pace.Kallis gone makes it an almost impossible task for SA to have any chance.
 
Re: Cricket

Gee clark is bowling well again this innings. Poor ol boucher has been hit in the gonads by lee(brought tears to my eyes), hit on the helmet by clark and was given not out when he was as plum as ive ever seen. Aussies on top SA - 5 for 97
 
Re: Cricket

SA 7-179 , 76 ahead.

Important session , this middle one .Aussies well placed but wouldn't want the lead to blowout to say, double current status & present a testy target...Hard to believe only 1/2 way through the match . Could be all over today if we can quickly bag these last 3 SA wickets...
 
Re: Cricket

Things sure happening fast in this match.

SA now 9-183 at drinks in the middle session . Clark knocking over Boje & Nel in swift succession . Definite MOM & match will finish today.....Couldn't lose 2x in a week from seemingly impregnable positions,surely ?

Although we've bagged the selectors for picking Martyn, selecting Clark was a master stroke :thumbsup.

Won't make any judgement on Clark after 1 test.Time will tell.Still would have gone for Bracken.The way South Africa bat we could have bowled anyone & would have achieved the same result.

Re: Cricket

He yelled into the stump mic complaining the ball wouldn't carry to the slips. AB said he should have just brought the slips in a little closer.
