An amazing morning session, with records broken from what was a desperate situation. |

We are starting to see the down side of the installation in recent years of drainage systems on English grounds. Three test matches so far and three dead decks.
Frankie, you are spot on with Dhoni, very poor leadership and by leaving Ashwell out, poor selection an'all.

Couldnt understand what Dhoni's thoughts were in the morning session. Started with seamers, that didnt work but kept going with it anyway. Result Anderson settled in and Root, as he should be, was in control. Couldnt understand why Dhoni didnt revert to spin at one end after 8 overs or so, then rotate the seamers from the other end. Plus let one of the batsmen bowl some flighted filth and see if Anderson would have a dip. Mix and match, change things to try and upset the batsmens rythm. But no. Holding summed it up best on commentary with "Whats the defintion of madness? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time. Well thats what Dhoni is doing". |

Well Jimmy got Man of the Match, well deserved IMO as without his batting effort Root would have been left high and dry and England would have been facing a big first innings defecit.
India could have then applied some preassure and with England's ability to capitulate, Cook out of form anything could have happened. |

Its looking more like that as every innings goes by without a score.
Anyway on to Lords. After the dead wicket Test at Trent Bridge a green track is served up. I bet Cook was bricking himself when the coin was spinning. England win toss, put India in and fail to bowl them out on day one on a wicket ideally suited to seam bowling. IMO at the end of Day Two India are ahead on points as well as runs. |

As I keep reminding our mate Flacky "Remember Rorke's Drift ... just when you think all is lost ...." In Australia we say "never forget Steven Bradbury!!" It ain't over till it's over .....

Hopefully a corner has been turned and at least some level of batting consistency can be anticipated. Bells been short of runs recently and he needs to weigh in tommorrow as well. |
