Groundsman reckons the pitch will be slow first couple of days and then quicken up... Batting first makes sense... India get more luck with the toss...

dhawan sorry

You mean the standard arm and waist guard? Some of the england lot look hell of a lot worse, particularly when they're facing Johnson.

look at his.it sticking out of his back.

Looks like Dhawan has a badly dislocated back. or an hunchback

Really could have done with a 50+ stand for the first wicket.

posted on 18/12/13

Still, not as bad as I imagined it would be. Expected to be 2/3 down by the end of the 10th over.

Morkel making Vijay look silly here

Not sure if he's trying to get out the way, or looking at edging it to first slip

posted on 18/12/13

India have done ok so far. Negotiated the new ball.

posted on 18/12/13

Vijay needs to make sure he doesn't give his wicket away now, after playing out the new ball. These two need to push on and up the run rate a bit

Just cant see where the acceleration is going to come from. Both batsmen do not look settled

posted on 18/12/13

India know they can start off slow and increase run rate later on with an older ball... No demons in this pitch and looks good for batting

posted on 18/12/13

I was very sure that dhawan will fail. he doesnt have the test technique to survive anywhere. he struggled in india to convert starts and apart from playing that one innings where he scored 100, I dont see how he will contribute in this series.

vijay is just blocking blocking and blocking. Dont think he is doing any favours to himself and the team. He has to keep the scoreboard ticking

Looks good for batting? Are you blind afridi?

posted on 18/12/13

Wasnt this coming. Vijay. block block and out
